Christopher Campbell

ISA Certified Arborist, 2002 # WE-6488A
Qualified Tree Risk Assessor, 2011
VP, Bay Area Arborists Cooperative, Inc.

In 2002, Christopher became a Certified Arborist through the esteemed International Society of of Arboriculture (ISA), the largest and most influential arboricultural organization in the world. In 2011, Christopher completed the Qualified Tree Risk Assessor program and maintains that qualification today. He is a also member and Vice President of Bay Area Arborists Cooperative, Inc., a group of independent, Bay Area certified arborists. 

Christopher Campbell has worked in gardens and trees in San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area for over 25 years. Before his career as an arborist, Christopher worked with all aspects of landscape installation, so he brings a well rounded understanding of the entire garden ecosystem and how all the elements work together. He's best known for his ability to achieve a project’s objectives while maintaining the integrity and natural structure of each tree. Christopher and his team are skilled at all pruning techniques and styles but they prefer a freshly pruned tree that appears untouched. 

Christopher enjoys building deep personal relationships with his clientele and will work closely with you from the initial estimate through the successful completion of your project. He has a small, highly-trained team of arborists and technicians, so as you continue to work with him, you’ll continue to see the same familiar faces.

THE CREW

A group of people poses around a large fallen tree log in a forested area. Some are kneeling or sitting on the log, wearing helmets or safety gear. A man in a green shirt and black helmet is kneeling in the foreground, and another man in a black helmet is sitting on the log. Several others are sitting behind them, and a person with red ear protection is sitting further back. There is a sign on the log that reads, 'NOTICE: Wildlife Habitat Now In Process.' The background includes trees, bushes, and a cloudy sky.

Our small dedicated crew is here to help keep your trees healthy and beautiful. Nearly half of our team are ISA Certified Arborists — and every member of our team works to ensure we follow updated best practices for tree care and maintenance.
