Locally owned. Fully insured. ISA-trained arborists committed to safe, science-based tree care for every northern Arizona homeowner.
A local tree care team built on safety, expertise, and respect for both your trees and your property at 7,000 feet.
Flagstaff Arborist was founded to give northern Arizona homeowners a tree service they can actually count on — one that shows up on time, provides a clear written estimate before any cut is made, and stands behind every job. We are a locally owned and operated company, not a franchise, and every customer deals directly with our team.
We specialize in the work Flagstaff properties need most: ponderosa pine removal (the world's largest contiguous ponderosa stand surrounds this city), structural pruning of aspens and ornamentals, bark beetle assessment, stump grinding, wildfire defensible space, and storm cleanup after heavy snowfalls and monsoon thunderstorms. We also stay current on pine bark beetle activity across Coconino County and help homeowners decide whether to treat healthy pines preventively or remove infested ones before beetles spread.
Arizona does not require a state-specific tree service license, which means anyone with a chainsaw can call themselves a "tree guy." We think Flagstaff homeowners deserve more. Our crew includes ISA Certified Arborists, we carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and we follow ANSI A300 pruning standards and ANSI Z133 safety standards on every job.
You get a clear written estimate before any work begins. No surprise fees, no add-ons mid-job. If the scope changes, we discuss it with you first. That is how Flagstaff Arborist does business.
Modern arboriculture is a real science. We follow ISA best practices and ANSI standards — not the outdated "top it and tar it" methods that damage trees. Your trees will be healthier when we leave than when we arrived.
We protect your lawn, hardscape, native vegetation, and surrounding plants. We rake, blow, and haul. When we leave your Flagstaff property, you should barely know we were there — except the tree work is done.
Tree work at high elevation is one of the most dangerous trades. We never compromise on rigging, PPE, or training to save time. That protects our crew, your property, and your liability exposure.
Flagstaff Arborist carries full general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage on every crew member. We are registered with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, and our arborists hold credentials from the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) — the gold standard for the tree care industry.
Before any tree service touches your property, ask for proof of insurance and ask about ISA certification. A reputable company should be happy to provide both. If a contractor cannot or will not, that is a red flag worth taking seriously — an uninsured tree service can leave you personally liable for property damage or worker injury at 7,000 feet.
We serve all of Flagstaff and the surrounding northern Arizona communities, including Sedona, Williams, Camp Verde, Munds Park, Bellemont, and Cottonwood. From Cheshire and Coconino Estates to Continental Country Club, Forest Highlands, University Heights, and Linda Vista — if you are in or near Coconino County, we are your tree service.
