Alpine Tree Service

Our Services

From guiding new plantings to preserving century-old shade trees—or removing those that have reached the end of their life—we provide the full spectrum of tree care for homeowners, property managers, and municipalities.

Comprehensive Tree Care for Every Stage of Life

At Alpine Tree Service, we believe trees deserve thoughtful, expert care from the moment they’re planted through maturity and beyond. Since 1984, our ISA Certified Arborists have provided professional tree services in the Wood River Valley, and since 2015, throughout Boise and the Treasure Valley.

Our care begins early—helping young trees establish strong roots, healthy structure, and resilience in Idaho’s often nutrient-poor soils. With the right start, trees grow stronger, require less corrective pruning, and withstand stress from pests, disease, and seasonal extremes.

Why Tree Care Matters

Healthy trees add beauty, safety, and value to any property. They provide shade in the summer, character in every season, and a sense of permanence that enriches landscapes. But without proper care, trees can become overgrown, stressed, or even hazardous.

That’s where we come in. At Alpine, tree care is both prevention and protection:

  • Proactive care establishes and preserves long-term health—building strong roots, guiding structure, and preventing issues before they start.
  • Responsive service addresses urgent concerns, from yellowing leaves to storm damage to removals that can’t wait.
  • Science, skill, and stewardship guide everything we do, ensuring your trees thrive while keeping your property safe and enjoyable.

Our Tree Care Services

Our certified arborists provide a full range of services to keep your trees healthy, safe, and beautiful. From structural pruning to hazardous removals and long-term soil care, every project is handled with care and precision.

    Tree Removal & Stump Grinding

    There are times when removal is the most practical choice—like dealing with hazardous trees, overcrowded growth, or trees obstructing new construction. Alpine handles removals safely and efficiently, with the added advantage of the Valley’s only in-house 30-ton crane for complex jobs.

    After removal, our stump grinding services restore the look of your yard and give you options for the future:

    • Plant a new tree in the same spot
    • Reclaim space for landscaping or construction
    • Prevent unwanted regrowth and tripping hazards

    Tree Pruning & Shaping

    Proper pruning is essential for both safety and aesthetics. Our arborists carefully shape trees to improve structure, encourage airflow, and prevent disease.

    We provide:

    • Structural pruning to strengthen young trees for long-term health
    • Seasonal and fruit tree pruning to increase production and beauty
    • Crown thinning, reduction, and cleaning to reduce hazards and maintain balance

    Certified Arborist Site Inspections

    Sometimes, the first step is simply knowing what your trees need. Our ISA Certified Arborists provide detailed inspections to evaluate tree health, identify risks, and recommend next steps.

    When you schedule an inspection, you’ll receive:

     

    • A professional assessment of your trees’ overall condition
    • Identification of safety hazards or disease concerns
    • Clear, actionable recommendations tailored to your goals
    • Peace of mind that comes from expert guidance

    Plant Health Care

    Proactive care is the key to long-term tree health. Our Plant Health Care services focus on prevention, resilience, and balance—keeping your trees strong from the roots up. Through soil enrichment, organic nutrition, and eco-conscious treatments, we help trees withstand stress, pests, and changing Idaho conditions.

    Our Plant Health Care services include:

    • Strengthening trees through targeted soil and root treatments
    • Protecting against pests, disease, and environmental stress
    • Regular inspections and customized care plans
    • Supporting tree vitality and structure for long-term beauty and safety

    Fertilization & Soil Care

    Healthy trees start with healthy soil. Alpine offers pet- and pollinator-safe products designed to strengthen roots and improve resilience. Our proprietary blends from our sister company, Balanced Earth, help your soil and trees thrive naturally.

    Benefits of our soil care:

    • Stronger root development and nutrient uptake
    • Increased drought resistance and water efficiency
    • Reduced dependence on synthetic fertilizers and chemicals
    • A healthier, more vibrant landscape overall

    Insect & Disease Management

    Pests and diseases can spread quickly, but with the right management plan, your trees can be protected. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques to minimize environmental impact while effectively addressing problems.

    Our services include:

    • Identifying and treating insect infestations such as borers, aphids, and other common pests
    • Preventing and managing fungal diseases that weaken trees over time
    • Offering environmentally responsible, organic treatment options whenever possible
    • Educating clients on prevention strategies for long-term tree health
    • Diagnosing visible warning signs that may indicate deeper health issues

    Emergency Tree Services

    When a tree fails unexpectedly, you need calm, capable help from a crew that knows how to assess the situation safely. Alpine provides professional emergency tree service for storm-damaged, fallen, leaning, or hazardous trees across Boise, the Treasure Valley, and the Wood River Valley. Our ISA Certified Arborists and crane-certified crews help protect your property and guide the next steps with confidence.

    Emergency tree service can help with:

    • Fallen or storm-damaged trees near homes, driveways, and structures
    • Large broken limbs or trees under tension
    • Hazard assessment from ISA Certified Arborists
    • Safe tree removal, debris cleanup, and insurance documentation

    Our Approach to Tree Care

    Every tree and property is unique. That’s why our work is never one-size-fits-all. Instead, we combine expert knowledge with careful planning to deliver results that match your goals.

    • Partnership: We take the time to explain your options, answer questions, and guide you toward the best long-term decisions for your trees.
    • Respect for property: From setup to cleanup, we treat your yard or site with the same care we would our own.
    • Environmental stewardship: We prioritize organic and sustainable solutions whenever possible, protecting not just your trees but also the broader ecosystem.
    • Safety first: Our crews are highly trained and equipped with state-of-the-art tools to ensure each job is performed safely.

    I had about 10 trees, mostly evergreens, that needed to be elevated and trimmed up. Alpine was honest and fair in their cost assessment. They worked out a good time that would work for me and their crew. They showed up right on time, weren't afraid to ask a couple clarifying questions to make sure we were all on the same page. The crew was efficient and cleaned up well. Really happy with their work and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a crew that can trim and beautify trees here in the Treasure Valley. Thanks guys!

    Jason and his crew were punctual arriving ready to start the job! They were professional, courteous and respectful with my encounter. They took the time to listen and answer my questions. They exceeded my expectation to remove 1 maple tree and pruned 2 other large trees! This is a highly trained team that can get the project done efficiently and safely. They did an impressive job from start to finish. They attended to details and thoroughly cleaned the branches, debris and stump that was ground up. Jason and his crew are top notch and I highly recommend Alpine Tree Service to anyone needing work done with competitive and fair pricing! I couldn’t be happier with their service!! I would definitely use this service again and recommend them to anyone!

    Nick and his crew came out and made fast work out of removing a tall cedar and large shrub. It included the stump grinding also. Very happy with the work they did and they were quick and efficient, not to mention nice. Highly recommend this business!

    Alpine Tree Service provided outstanding work from start to finish. Emma, Allen, and the extraction crew were highly informative, well-organized, and efficient in completing the job. Their attention to detail, site cleanup, and strong work ethic were truly impressive. It was especially notable that they went the extra mile to save the young birds that had fallen from their nest—an act of kindness that speaks volumes about their integrity.

    This company is fantastic! After going through many other tries with other companies that ended in failure, Alpine came through for us with flying colors! Fast, honest and they did great work. If you need help with your trees - don't hire anyone else!

    I rarely take the time to leave an online review but these guys were so professional and easy to work with I had to share. I interviewed 5 companies and they not only seemed to be the most qualified, they had competitive pricing. I had a 130 year old sycamore hanging over my house that was technical and messy, plus 6 other trees. The crew was so professional, explained what they were doing, and they were timely. The clean up was better than I expected. I HIGHLY recommend Alpine Tree Service. A HUGE thanks to the crew!!!
