Before last August I had not owned a home, so I had never had a need for an arborist. Since I now live on a wooded 1+ acre lot with my house surrounded by trees, a couple of which are not looking so hot, I found myself in need of just such an expert. Since I live on the fringes of Canton, it's not exactly a hotbed of arborists, so when I looked at Yelp to see who/what was nearby, my options were limited. I saw 770 Arborist (also the phone number when spelled out on a phone screen) and decided to try them. I called and set up the appointment. The person who took my call was polite and professional, so I hoped the person coming out to inspect would mirror that. It's been many years since I was a boy scout earning my botany and forestry merit badges, so I was ready to learn. Mark, the arborist, was phenomenal. When I hire an expert, it's for (no surprise) their expertise. What I got with Mark was not only great expertise, but a real passion for understanding and caring for those gentle giants that surround my home. He showed me how to safely and healthily trim limbs to help my trees grow. He explained how adding only a small amount of soil overburden can harm a tree. He taught me how to harvest loam from other parts of my property to feed trees that aren't getting sufficient nutrition. He showed me which trees are 'valuable' in the sense of property value and enjoyment. He showed me far more than I will take your time recounting here; suffice to say that I'm smarter about what's around me and have a new appreciation for trees. What did he NOT do? He did not try to upsell me. He explained which trees were unhealthy and why, how much or how little of a threat they present to my property, and which ones (only 3) that needed to be removed because of damage and sickness. And he was upfront about those trees probably being several years from being at the point at which they need to be removed. Again, no upsell of services or scare tactics about trees that are unhealthy. Just solid science and great advice. The hour and a half he spent with me cost $149, and it was a great value.; he should probably raise his rate. And, equally importantly, if I decide to use them for tree trimming or removal services, that $149 will be credited against the removal costs. Totally awesome and I highly recommend Mark and 770 Arborist. read more

Amazing dedication to trees. Very generous w their time. Spent lots of time w me walking properly and educating me

They did an awesome job cutting down 25 pine tree's for me in my back yard and the grass looks great finally. They had great prices and cleaned up all the mess. Now I do not have to worry anymore when there is a storm, that a tree will fall on my house. Thank you so much! Lori W. Marietta, Ga read more

We had to reschedule a few times due to weather related issues, but they communicated with us regularly. Arrived promptly, worked efficiently and cleaned up thoroughly. Very impressed with their professionalism read more

We had an enormous tree completely flatten the top floor of our separate garage and hit our main house. Cobb EMC came out immediately to turn off the power and Mark and his crew were there first thing in the morning to get the tree out of the garage and off the roof of our house. They were fast, they were efficient, and they did a great job of cleaning up and tarping the roof. They have an amazing crane that gently pulls the tree off the roof without causing further damage and a chipper that made fast work of some enormous branches. He works directly with the insurance so I don't have to and took pictures for me so the adjuster could see the holes in the roof before he tarped it. Mark is actually an arborist, so he also checked all the other huge oaks around my house and identified a couple that will need attention. Great crew, great job and I would recommend him to everyone who has a tree emergency! read more

See all

We could not have asked for better service. We had a huge pine tree fall onto our 2 story townhome. We spoke with Mark around 6 pm the day the tree fell and he and his crew were at our residence by 8 am the next day. Mark was communicative, quick, and had excellent guidance and knowledge of the removal process. They had top-of-the-line equipment and a solid and professional team. The entire team was invested in making sure the job was done effectively, safely, and quickly. We are grateful and will use them for any future needs. read more

Thank you for being so kind and for offering me a consultation to help keep my trees alive! I will definitely be contacting you again when we are in need of knowledgeable help for our yard. read more

The Arborist team did such an amazing job pruning and removing the trees from our backyard. I would recommend them to anyone!

They did a great job trimming high dangerous trees for me. Would recommend to anyone read more

Couldn't be happier with the services. Lance was fantastic, knowledgeable and honest. We have a heavily wooded lot and wanted to make sure we had everything checked to ensure the health and safety of our trees. Lance throughly reviewed our property and made very informed suggestions on what we could do to improve conditions. I never once felt like I was being pushed to do unnecessary work. I have heard of a number of tree companies and arborists that use scare tactics to make a sale. Not once did 770 pull any of those tricks. The team is top notch, top of the line, informed and knowledgeable. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. As for the work we decided to do...The team did an impeccable job at a very fair price. A++++++ read more

Can't say enough about these guys. So professional. So quick! Not only did they do a great job but they were able to squeeze me in with super short notice. I appreciate them going the extra mile to make sure they cleaned up all the remaining debris. Their prices were very competitive... I checked with 4 other companies and they came out on top by far. Mark & Lance were lifesavers! Would definitely use them again! read more

Very unprofessional. Hot tempered. Went on a tirade because my insurance company was taking too long providing a claim number. Like I have anything to do with that. I wouldn't recommend him. Get someone stable. read more

Did their consult late last year and decided to get the work done that was recommended. Lance was responsive to requests and made the process painless. The team was punctual and was quick to work and left the yard in great shape given the load. Very happy with the result and will be using them in the future as necessary. read more

Mark was great, even though I didn't use his services. My project was too small and he referred me other ways to get it done quicker and cheaper. That's integrity! read more

They arrived right on time, and they did an amazing job. If you did not know where the tree they removed was- you would not know they were here. They also raised the canopy on other trees- looks great (and mess cleaned up before they left). The price was fair. I really thought getting this work done was going to be a pain- with them- it was not. If I need more tree work done in the future- I will use them. read more

I used Mark to assess the risk posed by some large trees around my house as well as a house I'm going to buy. Mark was knowledgeable and took the time to explain how tree risk is assessed, how to care for my trees, and what some warning signs are. In the end, I decided to remove one tree and felt much more confident about the others. I used someone else to remove the tree, but I would certainly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a thorough assessment of tree risk by a certified arborist. read more

I hired 770-Arborist both for an arborist consultation and removal of dangerous branches. Mark provided the consultation and was very thorough with his examination and shared a bunch of tips. I had the work he recommended performed. I hired them again following the monster snow storm. Everybody I made contact with at this company was friendly, professional and helpful. The crew that came out for the latest job was exceptional, with such attention to details and excellent cleanup. Lance was very responsive to come out and provide an estimate. These are my go-to tree people for sure. Thanks guys! read more

I had lost one tree and had another that was sick so I put in a call to 770-Arborist. After looking at my tree I was given a big picture analysis of what is going on and then given detailed information on what needs to be done to "heal" the tree and on what schedule. I was also given information on when and how the tree got sick and things that were pertinent to our situation that could make the tree sick again. I felt that this man was intelligent, courteous and a good decent human being. I'm grateful that I got this person to help me. I HIGHLY recommend. read more

Remember that bit in the Christmas classic "Miracle on 34th Street" when Macy's sends their customers to Gimbal's when they have a better price on a coveted toy? That's kind of like what happened when I spoke to the awesomely knowledgeable fellow at 770-Arborist, only he gave me free advice that could save me thousands of dollars. A 50-foot-ish branch from one of our trees fell during a storm and landed on another tree along our property line. The tree is likely dead and so the entire thing probably needs to come down. Since two of the other branches are hovering over the power line, he advised me to have Georgia Power come and trim those branches and explained exactly what would be necessary to take care of the other branch. Despite the fact that they don't have the equipment necessary to deal with our specific problem, he took the time to clearly explain everything to me and gave me excellent advice. The next time we have a tree issue I will definitely be calling 770-Arborist first! read more

We found Mark through these Yelp reviews and they were spot on. It was a pleasure working with him and Lance. They are professional, courteous and know exactly what they are doing. Our house looks so much better now that they trimmed all the trees that were hitting our house. We highly recommend 770-Arborist! read more

I called Mark and told him about two oak trees in my backyard that I wanted to have removed. After sending pictures of said trees Mark give me some great advice on how to remove said trees by myself. Even though I did not use their services with this project I was pleased with how Mark was able to help me. I would recommend using this company to family, friends, and neighbors. read more

I am in Jacksonville, FL and 770Arborist showed up after hurricane Matthew hit our area. I had two HUGE oaks down; one landed on our house. I decided to go with them because they were going to take this tree off using a crane so as to not create any more damage to the house and they could get to me the next day. I admit I was leery because there are so many scammers that come when storms hit, but I hopped online and read all the good reviews so we went with them. We were very pleased with their professionalism and their services. If you ever have a question about them, feel free to ask me! I will happily recommend them! read more

After reviewing the pictures I sent to Mark, he gave me great advice on how I should treat the trees. He provided me with tremendous information. He did provide me with a quote but also gave me information on how I could do it myself. Very knowledgable about trees and would continue to utilize his services . 770-Arborist Highly recommended!! read more

They were terrific. I worked with Lance who was professional and courteous. They arrived on time, did the job quickly and cleaned up completely. Great communication along the way in terms of what branches I wanted to be trimmed. They were reasonably priced and I will definitely use them again. read more
