Capital Arborists have been my go to people for 20 years. They are excellent at tree removal and trimming. They fertilize twice a year for me and keep my yards looking beautiful. They are also very knowledgeable. Especially if you have questions re whether a tree needs to be removed due to disease, damage or other. read more

A crew from Capital Arborists was on-site doing a job for my neighbor in Hidden Lakes this morning and parked on both sides of a blind corner, partially obstructing traffic. The block was so choked that it took the local trash truck over five minutes to squeeze through, creating a clear traffic hazard. ​When I politely asked the crew to move their vehicles to one side of the street to clear the lane and resolve the safety issue, one worker became immediately belligerent. He shrugged off the safety hazard, dismissed my concerns, and told me to mind my own business. His posture and tone were extremely aggressive, discourteous, and outright threatening. ​Blocking a blind corner is a major safety risk, but the hostile response from their staff when presented with a reasonable concern is even more alarming. If you are considering hiring this company, think twice--they clearly need better judgment in their hiring practices and customer/public relations training. read more

I recently had soil treatment done on several trees (maples and a ginkgo) at a family property in Rio Linda. The arborist who came to do the initial assessment was knowledgeable and took time to explain tree health and care, which I greatly appreciated. However, there was some confusion about the scope of the service and pricing. The work performed appeared less extensive than I expected, and I had to follow up to better understand and address the discrepancy. To their credit, after some discussion, the owner adjusted the invoice to a fair amount. I appreciate that they were ultimately willing to work with me to reach a reasonable resolution. Overall, they seem experienced and knowledgeable, but I would recommend getting clear details in writing upfront about scope and pricing to avoid misunderstandings. read more

Quick response, timely, friendly, tree looks great, yard is clean. Strong recommendation.

Very professional and knowledgeable. Prior to finding this company we had many tree trimmers come out and recommend topping our 15-year-old maple trees. It was so nice to find someone who actually knew how to care for our trees properly! It did take a while to get on their schedule because they are in high demand so if you are looking to have something done, I recommend getting it scheduled early. read more

We have used Capital Arborists for years, and will continue to do so. The Gold Standard for expertise and professionalism-extremely fair pricing, so many services that not only keep your trees healthy but actually save them. We would not use anyone else...it is always a pleasure to receive our reminder call-which we have requested over the years-and our yard looks great. They have also removed and planted new trees...thank you for such great service!!! read more

Had almost the entire yard trimmed back. Japanese Maples, Crape Mertles, and Camelias. All between 30 and 80 years old. Wonderful job, and clean up was great. Coming back next month for the big sycamore in the front yard. Would recommend always. read more

Capital Arborists - What was cut down - Tree Services Near Me

My olive tree has signs of insect infestation from borers, which can kill a tree. A few years ago, I had another olive tree with the same problem. I called a guy who trimmed and removed trees and he recommended that I remove it. Which I paid him to do. Since I wanted to save this tree I figured it was important to find a certified arborist, not just a tree service company. Fortunately, I looked around and found Mike DuPont, owner of Capital Arborists, who is an ISA Certified Arborist. Mike came out and inspected the tree to determine its viability. He explained the problem and instructed me on how to apply the systemic insecticide, which I had on hand. He educated me on how often I should use it, what times of the year, and follow up steps to optimize the treatment. I thought I might need to water the tree more (e.g., buying a soaker hose). Mike informed me that wasn't necessary. In fact, too much water can hurt a olive tree. Did I need to trim the tree so keep it healthy? No, it looked good to Mike. So, Mike armed me with the information so I could take care of the tree ongoing. Wish I had found Mike before I spent the money to remove the first olive tree. I might have saved the other tree and the money I spent removing it. read more

I waited a little while before writing my review. I was extremely pleased initially with the work Daniel (?) and his team did under Jeff's guidance. Awesome! But it's kind of like when you get a haircut it looks good or does it? It takes time. Well after time I couldn't be happier with the outcome. The team was the quote was good and on time, the work was scheduled timely, the crew was professional and left it clean as if they hadn't been there, very professional. I had a camphor (23 yr) magnolia (22) Japanese maple (25). They did a great job helping them to be a lasting addition to our lives. Highly recommend this group! Most highly recommended! read more

Quality person who went above and beyond. A kitten was stuck in a tree and after several calls to animal control and many other companies they came out and helped. Forever thankful. read more

Capital Arborist has been caring for our Japanese Maples for at least three years. They do a great job shaping the trees and advising us on care. They even tell you when you can skip a year! The recent service was to treat one of the trees for aphids. They are prompt and courteous, and always informative. read more

Compamy doesn't guarantee their work. Specifically picked Capital because they had a scissors that could reach dead top branches of red maple. Estimate includes "removing dead tips." 10 months later dead tips are still there. Arborist came out today & confirmed job wasn't done properly. 2.5 feet needs to be cut off the top & the interior needs to be cleaned up. Charging us for the correction & a very minimal discount. read more

Jeff visited our property to inspect a Giant Sequoia which is over 30 years old. We wanted to know if the tree was healthy or if it needed to be removed. He told us tree was healthy, he could have said the tree needs to come down, but he did not. He is very ethical and I would not hesitate to use his company. read more

Good value for money, great communication and stewardship of any problems post tree removal.

Cutting and stump grinding 6- 15foot Cypress trees Bid was fair they brought in a three man crew who were absolutely exceptional cut all the cypress down ground the stumps cleaned everything up The crew lead was very thorough made sure they exceeded our expectations Definitely recommend this company read more

Had a scheduled appt for 2 months, No show. Called and was told someone from my office called and canceled. We did not, that was a lie. Once a manager called back he said HE made the mistake and canceled us and we would not be serviced for another month. I asked to speak to the owner for 2 days and they never called. Very upset as they did a great job the first time and dropped the ball and lied the second. I do not recommend this company. read more

We have been working with Capital Arborist Inc. to save three Strawberry trees that were planted incorrectly by a landscape we hired last year. The owner, Jeff Alspaw, has been monitoring their health and providing guidance on irrigation throughout this very hot summer. In addition, Jeff and his assistant Will did an outstanding job of diligently troubleshooting a sprinkler system problem that was created by the builder (Lennar). I have hired enough contractors in my life to know great, good and bad. Capital City is great! Always on-time and very knowledgeable. Jeff only does what is necessary to enhance the yard and project, is conscious of the environment and is fair. I could continue with praise. Hire this company, you will not be sorry! This is not a purchased review Clark and Sharon F. Heritage at Solaire read more

Just updating my review to say how great this company is. They are very organized and great at making sure we get the necessary check up and follow up appointments for the trees. The trees are looking absolutely fantastic and are growing great. I can't thank Jeff and his team enough! read more

Capital Arborists was the only company that got back to me within 1 day. They scheduled an arborist within a few weeks. Lisa was prompt and listened To our concerns and answered all our questions. When the crew came out, they introduced themselves which I thought added a nice touch. They welcomed questions and gave me a run down of what they were going to do to ensure we were on the same page. I would highly recommend Capital Arborists for any and all your trimming needs. I am extremely happy with their work. read more

Daniel, Connor, & Trevor arrived on time as scheduled to prune a couple of our fruit trees. I couldn't be happier with their service -- respectful, knowledgeable, worked great together as a team -- and the trees appreciated their thoughtful attention as well. Thank you for an excellent job! read more

I wasn't very happy when Jeff the owner said it was best to remove the tree, and not just cut it back. He explained the science behind his recommendation and the root structure and was extremely knowledgeable. The crew was on time and removed several trees. They were all extremely polite. What I noticed most was how they worked together, the efficient team work and the comradeship. For coworkers to be that happy working in the mud on a rainy day, they must really love their jobs. Which means Capital Arborists must be a good company to work for. The crew left my yard cleaner, and in better condition, then when they arrived. Very impressive! I definitely recommend this company, the price was great, the service was great. read more

These folks are the best. They have been caring for my 14 trees, including fruit trees for several years and all are doing beautifully. When I thought my apple tree had blight and was going to die, Mike came right out and looked it over assuring me it wasn't and giving me some tips on how to care for it. They have been managing a very special large pine tree that has grown into a giant bonsai. Can't say enough good things about them. read more

Capital Arborists saved my Meyer Lemon tree with diagnosis and treatment. They also treat my three Bay Laurels for aphids, so no more sticky patio. In addition, Capital Arborists have removed a few dead trees, wired a tree, dead branch removal and tree shaping for balance. Highly recommend! read more

I've been using Capital Arborists since I moved to Roseville 7 years ago. Jeff is honest, fair and provides exceptional and personalized service. The crew who comes to my home have always been courteous, respectful and do an outstanding job. You will be pleased with the quality of service when working with Capital Arborists. Your trees will thank you!! read more

Jeff and his crew did an amazing job removing a large oak on our property. The tree was failing and had to be removed for safety reasons. The gear he used made the job safe for his team, which was challenging given the state of decay of some parts of the upper canopy. The lift was able to get into my back yard (4' of clearance) and was very impressive to watch the crew utilize (and a lot cheaper than other bids that were going to rent a gigantic crane from the street and over my house). I really can't say enough positive things about them, they'll be my tree service for as long as I own my home. read more

Way too expensive for tree pruning services. Same 4 trees as 2 years ago cost $720 as opposed to about 500 previously. Rip off. Been using them for over 10 years Barry H read more

Excellent service! Knowledgeable Arborist. My husband had tons of questions and Lisa, the licensed arborist answered them all. Capital Arborists certainly doesn't need my five star rating because they have plenty of other satisfied customers...but we are so happy and pleased with their service we just had to add our review too! We made an appointment with Lisa for an evaluation and found her very experienced and knowledgeable. Her recommendations were excellent! We can't recommend Capital Arborists enough. They can at times be busy BUT they are definitely worth the wait! read more

From the first phone call to the completion of the work, everything went smoothly. Lisa came out to do an assessment of multiple trees that have suffered through the drought years, then grown exuberantly after last year's rain. We liked that her emphasis was on the health of the trees, targeting risky areas first, then marking us up for another assessment next year. We needed that, to have a plan for ongoing care. The crew was personable and efficient. Some of the work was in close proximity to other plantings and they were careful not to damage anything. They arrived ahead of schedule, cleaned all the debris both on our property and our neighbor's building where our trees were creating a hazard. I look forward to having a continuing relationship with Capital Arborists. I'm confident in their work and recommend them without reservation. read more

They trimmed my patio trees on Oct. 6, 2023 in the rain and last October (2022) they removed the 100 ft redwood at my residence in east Roseville, both jobs done in an organized and fantastic fashion. I have been using them for five years on trees at my rental in Sun City Roseville with the same professional attitude and work ethic. They are just the best! read more

Mike DuPont was very friendly and knows trees.

Capital Arborists came for a paid consultation to evaluate our elms, oaks, and fruit trees. Lisa did a general inspections and we were really surprised by the information she gave us. Our online searches had led us down the wrong path. Nothing beats the profession diagnosis of a trained arborist. Thanks Lisa! read more

Fantastic company and super knowledgeable staff! Lisa spent over an hour with me going over each of the trees on my lot and explaining the best ways to trim (or not trim) them. No effort to upsell, just going through the best ways to accomplish my goals!! Fantastic price, too! Very reasonable for the scope of work. Plus on the day of, they actually trimmed two additional trees in order to get at the main tree without disturbing my neighbors. I can't recommend them highly enough. You will NOT be disappointed! read more

We have used Capital Arborists for many year for all kinds of help with our trees with Lisa as our contact. They recently were out for our annual fertilization of a large tree - on time and professional as always. The company is honest and has competitive pricing - can't recommend them enough! read more

I do not recommend them. They are unprofessional, and will leave you hanging. Waited weeks for an appointment, only to wait even longer. Their phone representative who confirms the appointments was condescending. I expected better :( read more

We have many majestic oak trees that are a major feature of our property. So, when it comes to caring for these trees we want excellence. When our former trusted arborist left the area due to a family situation, we asked him for a recommendation. Without hesitating he recommended Mike at Capital Arborists. We are glad we took his device. Capital Arborists has excellent equipment including modern lifts needed for working our trees. Our crew was on time, professional, worked very efficiently and kept our property spotless before leaving for the day each of the days they were here. They were also extremely pleasant people to have around. We strongly recommend them for tree care and will be having them back. read more

The whole crew at Capitol Arborist was super professional and friendly. They saved our barn and animals from a collapsing tree inside our pasture. The trees they took down were hanging over a barn and a fence. We are already planning more work for them next year. Great company!! read more

It was time for our annual tree "haircut." Our tree had grown to mammoth proportions with all of the winter water and was overdue. Mike came out, gave his estimate, and the 3-person crew was out the next day doing their usual professional job. The tree looks fabulous. They really know how to trim and thin. I recommend them highly! read more
