We had Austin come out to look at some trees we wanted removed and also for some pruning. He was very professional, he responded quickly, his prices were reasonable, and had good communication. I'd totally recommend him.

First, his pricing is by far the most fair. I dont see myself seeking another going forward as his prices cannot be matched. Second, professional. He was always on time, finished the job on time, responsive and helpful. Third, thoughtful of surroundings. We have a wetland pond we did not want any disruption to. But there were 3 trees that needed to come out. We would come out to check on job. There was absolutely no disruption to the area. Highly recommended.

When I needed a hazardous tree evaluation I called Austin Gilmore Arborist LLC and he did a very in depth detailed report with photos and important information that clearly provided insight on the condition of the trees.

We were looking to save and protect a few trees and Mr. Gilmore proved to be very knowledgeable and helpful. His rate is reasonable and he spent a lot of time explaining the pros and cons of different processes. He also gave us some advise regarding tree maintenance for other trees on the property. He is a consulting arborist and not a logger looking to get business taking down trees. I recommend him!
