Urban Foresters was founded by Ann Arbor native Brad Burton in 1981. While a student at U of M's Forestry School, Brad saw the need for a professional and knowledgeable tree care company in the area. With the help of his employees, he has successfully established Urban Foresters as a full service arboriculture company committed to the preservation, maintenance and safety of trees and shrubs. We have extensive experience in insect/disease diagnosis and management, pruning and cabling, pesticide application, fertilization, challenging removals, consultations and tree preservation.
Urban Foresters firmly believes that client satisfaction is directly related to on-going employee education and training. We employ arborists with various degrees in our field and intelligent, courteous crew members. Together, we continually strive to increase our knowledge and expertise so that we can offer cutting edge and scientifically sound solutions for your trees and shrubs. We are passionate about this industry, and we will treat you and your property with the utmost care and respect.
