Our story and mission

Mick's Tree Service LLC was founded in 2005 to provide Northern Arizona homeowners, businesses, and public agencies with safe, professional, and environmentally-conscious tree care. Our company has grown from a couple of caring arborists to a team of arborists and climbers who share a deep respect for trees and a commitment to our community. Our mission is straight forward: to provide professional, full service tree care at a reasonable price. 

Our roots: values, vision, and community focus

Mick's Tree Service LLC was created to fill a local need for skilled tree professionals who combine technical know-how with strong customer service. We believe trees are valuable community assets that require thoughtful stewardship.

We invest in continuing education, equipment, and safety training so our customers receive industry-best results.

Safety and insurance

Protecting you and our crews

  • Each crew member receives a written job description and is equipped with PPE, including hardhats with Bluetooth in-crew communication, harnesses and certified rigging equipment.
  • Coordination with utility providers for work near power lines.
  • Traffic control and public protection measures where needed.

We carry appropriate liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Proof of insurance is available upon request when we provide estimates.

Sustainability and environmental responsibility

We value trees not only for their aesthetic and economic benefits but also for their role in environmental health. Our operations include:

  • Proper pruning techniques that preserve tree health rather than short-term aesthetics.
  • We do not utilize harmful climbing spikes when pruning trees.
  • Recycling of wood through chipping and reuse as mulch when practical.
  • Responsible disposal of diseased material to reduce pest and disease spread.
  • Minimizing soil compaction and root damage with planning and protective measures during jobs.

Community involvement and local partnerships

As a local business, we support Northern Arizona neighborhoods, HOAs, and government agencies. We coordinate with city planners, utility companies, and landscape architects to support urban canopy goals and infrastructure projects. We also offer educational outreach and seasonal maintenance programs to help property owners plan long-term tree care.

Residential

A homeowner near downtown Flagstaff had a mature ponderosa pine leaning toward the house after a storm. Our crew completed a staged removal using rigging and a spider lift to protect the home, ground the stump, and cleaned the yard. The homeowner appreciated our careful planning and efficient cleanup.

Emergency response

After a monsoon storm, we responded to multiple calls for fallen trees blocking access roads. Our crews prioritized emergency removal, coordinated with city services, and restored safe passage within hours.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • How do I know if a tree should be removed or can be saved?

    Our arborists assess structural defects, disease, root health, and risk of failure. If a tree poses an imminent hazard or its health cannot be reasonably restored, removal may be recommended. When possible, we prioritize preservation through targeted treatments and pruning.

  • Do you offer written estimates and contracts?

    Yes. We provide detailed, written estimates that outline work scope, pricing, cleanup, and any special considerations. For larger or ongoing projects, we prepare clear contracts to ensure mutual expectations.

  • Are you available for emergency tree removal after storms?

    Yes. We provide emergency response for fallen trees and hazardous situations. Call (928) 774-5892 to report urgent needs.

  • When is the best time to prune trees?

    It depends on the species and the goal. Many trees benefit from late winter or early spring pruning, while others are pruned after flowering. Our arborists provide species-specific schedules to optimize health.

  • Do you provide tree health services?

    Yes. Our arborists diagnose pests, diseases, soil issues, and provide treatment plans including pruning, fertilization, and soil amendment recommendations.
