ABOUT US

Our commitment to the environment is unmatched…and our commitment to community is at the heart of it all.

It may seem like an oxymoron to have an environmentally friendly tree company but that is what we aim to achieve. In doing this we are not just trying to put a green exterior on our company but to really limit the impact that we have on our future.

We will never be able to avoid all of our impact, but we feel it is our responsibility to take any steps we can to reduce that impact such as:

  • Business Cards and Work orders printed on recycled paper

  • Paperless communication and billing options

  • Biodegradable Bar oil and 2-Cycle Mix

Spruce Up Anchorage (SUA)

Spruce Up Anchorage began in 2020 in response to the Spruce bark beetle outbreak. The beetle epidemic impacted Anchorage for many years and the landscape was radically changed in the more recent years leading up to 2020. For Paul and his team at Paul's Tree Service, this was the opportunity to give back to a community that has always been so supportive and nurturing to the company.

Starting in 2020, Paul’s Tree service donated 200 spruce saplings to residents of Anchorage and Eagle River. Many recipients, friends and family asked about donating money to the program and were touched by how the program was dedicated to Betsy Guzenski, Paul’s mother who had passed away, as well. This year we made the decision to register as a non profit and expand upon our impact in the community and how we can help.

    Paul is an ISA Certified Arborist, with credentials from Paul Smith's College in New York's Adirondack State Park. Originally from Long Valley, New Jersey, he moved to Alaska in the mid-2000s. When Paul isn't climbing trees for work, you can find him climbing for fun- whether it be rocks, trees, or ice! He also is passionate about fitness on the ground- he has no plans to slow down his climbing any time soon, so weightlifting and running keep the climbing possible! He loves dogs, long drives, and his amazing family and friends.
