I would recommend The Urban Arborist, the crew did an EXCELLENT job removing the large Ornamental Pear Tree from our front yard. They showed up on time and were very friendly. I would have given 5 stars, however, the stains on the walkway and sidewalk I feel could have been avoided or not as bad if they had told me in advance. I could have laid tarps down or hosed the walkway/sidewalk off immediately! I had NO idea it would leave lasting stains, it looks awful and we've tried everything! I did email asking if they could recommend a stain remover since the gas powered pressure washer didn't help at all, the response I got was "Yeah, fruit trees tend to stain" read more

We've had many trees removed by Dave. He is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. The service is well worth the price.

Had a great experience with The Urban Arborist. We got a quote and was scheduled very quick. He emailed me a detailed quote with options to respond. The price was fair for both sides. They happened to have an opening very soon after which was nice to get my project done. The crew showed up with a nice work truck, both introduced themselves and we went over what we wanted. They got right to work and made quick work of this small project. They cleaned as they went and swept the area after they were completed. I would highly recommend The Urban Arborist for any tree trimming needs. They were experienced and knew what they were doing. Thanks again! Cheers. read more

We had Urban Aborist trim several large trees in our backyard today. They did an excellent job at a reasonable price. Christian, the owner, was knowledgeable, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. His crew was friendly and knew what they were doing. They also did a great clean-up job once the trimming was complete. All in all, I would highly recommend Urban Aborist. They will be our "go to" arborist whenever we need one in the future. read more

It wasn't just any tree, it was the biggest oak tree in the neighborhood that I planted 29 years ago and had grown to over 60ft (by professional opinions). It was our family's tree. My kids had grown up climbing in it. We hung pumpkins from it for Halloween. We decorated it with lights for Christmas. We tended it with annual pruning if needed and watered it during dry periods. It was sooo big that if it ever fell, it would have done a lot of real damage and with this years storms, we noticed and confirmed with Dave that the wind had affected it and it was moving. Dave and crew did a fabulous job of taking this behemoth out with zero impact to our home/driveway and street. Goodbye my friend. read more

Extremely grateful for the owner coming out on his time off on a holiday. He was extremely helpful thorough and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the urban arborist, you will not be disappointed! read more

I had a Chinese pistache tree alongside my house but was too close to the foundation and starting to overhang the chimney. Urban Arborist removed the tree and ground the stump. They cleaned up all debris and the entire job was completed in about an hour. The crew were polite and professional. The price was well below the other quotes I got. I definitely recommend these guys. read more

Dave and company are all the things I appreciate about a small business: 1. Responsive 2. Knowledgeable 3. Pleasant 4. Reasonable 5. Local It doesn't get much smoother or more pleasant than the tree removal and stump grinding on an unhealthy ~20 year old tree that I had with The Urban Arborist. A+ and I will support their business in the future! read more

I called on a Tuesday for an estimate to prune two large trees in our yard and set up an appointment for Friday evening at 6pm. No one ever showed up for that appointment and I never got a call explaining why. The following Tuesday I received a call from their office stating they were getting my quote together & would call when it was ready. I called them back and informed the lady that no-one had ever showed up for the estimate and I didn't understand how they could give em a quote. The lady told me that they decided to just drive by and look at the trees instead. Well thanks for not calling and letting me know!! I love sitting around the house on Friday evenings because your company is too inconsiderate and lazy to inform me you changed our plans. Since I still needed the work done, at that point I decided to go ahead and see what their quote would be & said they could send it to my anyways. The office lady said the owner was getting the quote together & she'd get it over to me right away. Well it's been 2 weeks since my original call & once again I haven't heard back from them. I'd give this company zero stars if possible & recommend staying far away from them. I'm disappointed though because I really wanted to give this job to a local company here in Lincoln during the Covid-19 quarantine but apparently they don't want/need the work. read more

The team arrived ahead of schedule and walked through the job with us to make sure we were on the same page. They got right to work trimming 5 of our trees, all considered medium to large (15-50 feet) with manual tools (perfect since our neighborhood is quiet and they started before 8am) and thoroughly cleared all trimmed limbs, leaves, and debris and we're done by 11:30. Highly recommended! read more

Did a fantastic job. Worked quickly and were super nice guys. When they left the yard was cleaner than when they arrived! We will be using their services again. read more

We had Urban Arborist do some long needed tree trimming. We had a 30 year old plum tree removed, a tall oak tree thinned and shaped, and a neighbors Fruited Mulberry hanging over my house and yard. The crew was on time, friendly, polite, and professional. They frequently checked with us to make sure we were all on the same page, we were. They did a great cleanup job also. If you need tree work, they are great and I highly recommend them. read more

The Urban Arborist was right on time, and was able to explain everything to us thoroughly, and laid out a plan to help our tree grow. I highly recommend this company! read more

Dave set up the appt, never showed, or called to cancel, or responded to my voice mail or the email I left the next day. So rude. Should be able to leave zero stars. read more

Dave came out to our home on his appointment date and gave us his estimate right on the spot; we booked his company a week later. Jordan and his buddy did an excellent job removing a diseased pine tree. The work was finished in about three hours. Highly recommended. read more

WISH WE COULD GIVE ZERO STARS!! We have also experienced what a lot of other people have said. We spoke to him on the phone and made an appointment. He didn't showed up to the appointment and never called! read more

Not sure where to start. Very strange interaction with owner. Scheduled an appointment to discuss planting some trees and shrubs in backyard. I have done hours of research already at Green Acres and online, so felt pretty prepared to discuss options. I even had a hand drawn map to show placements needed. Right off the bat he told me that he won't provide suggestions because he has had legal issues before with people upset with him about plantings that went wrong (infections, roots, etc.). He said that those problems are for the nurseries to deal with, not him. OK... no problem. I feel good about the list I made. Then he goes on to basically tell me to hurry up, that he doesn't have time to discuss anything, just to tell him the number and size of trees to plant and that's all he needs. When I told him I was hoping to discuss what size to plant and how far apart, he told me to go to the nursery with pictures and figure it out myself. I thought that was part of what we were going to discuss today?! OK... disappointing, but not a deal breaker. He then went on to tell me how he can't even provide me with a quote because I didn't provide an email address when I scheduled the appointment. When I said I wasn't asked for one, he said, "Well, we record all of our phone conversations, so I'll go back and listen to see." He continued to go on negatively about his staff person and tried to blame her for not being clear with me on the phone about what this appointment would involve. Basically, I thought he was going to discuss my project, not just provide me with a quote to dig holes where I tell him to do it. No input. No suggestions. No measurements. If that's what you are looking for (and I'm sure many people are), then he's your guy. If you want to have any feedback at all, call the next guy. I'm giving him two stars instead of one because he showed up on time. read more

Stuart and crew came at the time that they said would on the day I reserved. Job was done with professionalism and efficiency. Caution was taken on crew's part to make sure that everything was covered/protected or advisement on their part for removal of certain items to avoid any damage. All excess leaves, branches, etc. were neatly cleaned up by crew. Stuart accommodated me by clearing away additional foliage. He alerted to me that certain requested tasks on part of client(s) would have to be postponed to another day. read more

Dave's crew arrived on time and did a great job! Very professional and cleaned up everything when finished. If you are looking for an arborist I recommend you give this company a chance to bid. read more

Came out and took care of my palms smacking our windows and roof! Small job but they were more than happy to take it on!

This is the best arborist around. Very professional, friendly and very precise with his cuts. It's like a ballet the way he climbs the tree and drops the branches where he wants them to go. He is very knowledgable and reasonably priced. They take care in cutting and cleaning up. I've had Dave come for two different projects and will have him come out next time too! Great job- thank you. read more

Dave came out last year and told us about our Flowering Pear Tree. Even though it had the blight, he said it was good for another few years. This year we decided to take the tree out. They were very quick to come the next day to remove it. It was our understanding that they would "chase the roots" for the price we paid. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to Dave or us, our irrigation water line was not buried very deep and as he was chasing the roots, broke the pipe. We were good with that since neither of knew and had a plumber come to fix it. Dave and his helper left. We were under the thought they would come back to finish the job chasing the roots. After 5 calls with no reply, they sent an email saying that they do not chase the roots and recommend poisoning. They were chasing a root when the accident happened! Next time advice, ask for a copy of what they intend to do for the price paid. We were disappointed. read more

My wife called and left a message asking for a return call. That call never came. She called again three days later and spoke with Kevin. He scheduled an appointment for which they did not show. We called that day but their voice mailbox was full. We called again two days later and informed Kevin that they did not show. He did not seem to know or care. read more

We have used this company several times over the last few years and have found their work to be excellent and their prices fair. Fast and friendly. read more

Second time we've used their service, top-notch professionals. Got several bids and they were the lowest; we knew they were the best so did not expect them to offer the best prices, too! Win-win!!! They took great care to move anything out of way and protect surrounding landscaping. Not one leaf was harmed and they left everything neat and clean and blown. Large oak trees, 85 feet high. Highly recommend. read more

We had a birch tree snap and fall in the neighbor's backyard Thursday mid-morning. When I arrived home in the afternoon, I called three places and only able to leave a message. Someone actually answered and was able to set up an appointment for Dave, the owner to come that evening to make a bid. He assessed the situation and gave a VERY fair bid to cut down all three to the stumps (we didn't need them removed), clean up and haul away! Better yet, he was able to come back the next morning. He and his crew of two other guys were great! They did the whole job in less than an hour. We'll definitely have them come back for some pruning of other trees! read more

They answered the phone the first time I called and were very responsive to our needs!! So far, so very good!!

Dave came out promptly, thoroughly reviewed options, & provided the most reasonable quote including stump removal. His crew was timely, professional, & safely removed the 35+ ft birch tree adjacent to our home. My neighbors ended up using his services too. read more

We recently had a volunteer fan palm tree removed in the far corner of our property which was growing against our good neighbor fence. I received 3 quotes for removal and the Urban Arborist was not only the most economical but they were very efficient, fast, professional and considerate. We are extremely pleased with their service and will use them again when the need arises. Highly recommended. read more

David came out, looked at my 80 year old tree that has a terrible lean to it! He gave me lots of information on the difference between trimming it, cutting it down and taking it out. The quote was very reasonable, after talking to him, I felt better about given this huge job to David (LOCAL arborist) rather than your typical lawn / shrub company. He also explained that the equipment he uses to take down the tree will not damage my lawn. I haven't done the job yet, but I wanted to get the word out that this is the professional you need for a complicated job! read more

They were fast, professional and knowledgeable! I needed tree service fast because of a dangerous large hanging branch and they were at my house within 24 hours. They removed the play structure slide underneath the the tree and reattached it after removing the slide. The price was great too! I will definitely be having them back for more tree service and I will be sharing their contact info with my friends. read more

We were so pleased with Dave's work on our Bradford Pear last year that we called him to remove two very large dead birch trees. His crew did a great job, and they planted in the ground three Japanese Maples and large camellia that had overgrown the large pots they were in. They are all doing great after being replanted. His crew was so polite, and they removed dead branches from our old redwoods at no additional cost. The cleanup was perfect. I'd like to respond to the reviews that said Dave didn't followup on calls or to give a date for work. He has been swamped with dealing with fallen trees that were real emergencies for people. We felt like our work could be done at any time, and we understood his issues. As soon as he had an open window, he contacted us and showed up when he said he would. We had to wait 8 weeks, but it was no problem. Over the years we have found that the "best" people are busy and you have to wait. The contractors and service people who can jump on your job and aren't busy, usually aren't busy for a good reason. Just sayin". We will continue to use Dave and his crew for all our needs. He gives us good free advice on other plants and trees at our house, and he is reliable and expert. read more

After several people came out to give us an estimate. Dave was the only one that showed he cared about the trees. I didn't feel like I was putting just a pay check in someones pocket but more so helping the trees all around. He actually looked at the trees and touched it walked around it and listen to what I was concerned about. He also gave me suggestions. This was all within the same price range if not a little cheaper then some other people. read more

I called the Urban Arborists for a bid to have 2 trees removed. First I never received a bid when I was told I would have it. I had to call them and request it, apparently they lost the paperwork. The price was fair so I decided to have them do the work. I accepted the bid online. Now almost 3 weeks later and I was never contacted about doing the job. I called today and they said the could do it on a future date. My concern is if they lose paperwork, don't communicate with customers, and I have to remind them about the work needed, do they really do good work? I don't know I'll find someone else. If you can't setup the job up correctly , I don't want to know what problems will come up with actually doing the job. read more
