We were very pleased with the outcome. Alec is a very experienced certified arborist with excellent credentials and it shows in the way he approaches his work . He was very pleasant and friendly. He first gave us an accessment of the overall health and condition of our trees . Then he took the time to explain everything he was going to do and why he was doing it . He always asked first whether we were okay with what he planned to do. The result was excellent. We were very pleased with the outcome and we learned a lot about our trees in the process. We feel his fee was very much in line with his level of expertise. Trees not only add to the overall aesthetics of a property, they also contribute to the well being of our environment and add to your property value. So it was very important to us that we get a qualified person for this project. We highly recommend Roots &!

I have a 12 foot indoor tree and several outdoor trees, all of which had different circumstances that needed professional attention. Alec's experience and knowledge of trees, plants, soil, etc. is vast, which prompted a very high level of service. I am looking forward to our next session and enthusiastic about recommending him to everyone I know.

Alec did a great job. He even cut up the branch so I could burn the wood in my fire pit. He raked the ground thoroughly when he was done and left no trace. He is knowledgeable about trees and their needs! I highly recommend him!
