About us

Sherpa Tree Service is a family owned and operated business specializing in safe removal of hazardous trees near your home or other valuable property. We do the jobs that are too risky or tough for everyone else. The owner, Grady, has over 5 years training, practicing business and hazardous tree removal experience in Fairbanks, Alaska. Depending on the season, Sherpa Tree Service typically has 1 or 2 employees who function as "groundies" to Grady the climbing arborist. We also offer 24/7 EMERGENCY removal of trees and fallen limbs after storms. Brush chipping, disposal of all debris, and a thorough cleanup is included in tree removal. We strive to leave your property looking cleaner than we found it. If you want stump grinding, Sherpa Tree Service will sub-contract stump grinding to a specialized service but can accomplish this on our own if equipment rental is cost effective. In an effort to steward our planet well we recycle 100% of our collected organic materials with Risse Greenhouses so it can be processed into locally developed topsoil and garden mulch. We also use emissions-free electric chainsaws whenever possible and favor biodegradable products. Our paper-reducing, tree-loving billing and estimates are delivered digitally. We accept PayPal, cash, check, and all major credit cards. We are fully insured and happy to provide a copy of our certificate of insurance to customers upon request. We do not require customers to make payment up front. Payment is due upon completion of work and any payment 30 days past due incurs a 20% late fee. Sherpa Tree Service is the best option when you need to remove a tree beside your house.

Grady and his helper, Billy, showed up to take care of my tree. Grady did an excellent job finding out exactly what I wanted and he climbed the tree to take off many of the larger limbs. He also did an excellent job directionally falling the tree and used a rope line to ensure it fell in the right direction. When the tree came down the impact did no damage to the driveway. All limbs were chipped on site and all logs were removed too. When he was done with the felling operation he used a stump grinder to take care of the stump. You can't even tell where the stump was, except for the pile of chips that will degrade quickly. They even used a high powered leaf blower to blow all remaining chips off the driveway. I couldn't have been more pleased. Grady was professional, a good communicator, and did everything he said we would. I am a forester and am completely satisfied with the job.
Description of Work: We had a very large birch that was showing signs or rot and had carpenter ants near the roots. The tree was in a precarious position so I called and talked to Brady of Sherpa tree service to have it taken out. We did not want any damage to our lawn or driveway, nor damage to surrounding healthy birch trees.

Wonderful service. Was a bit worried at first about how high the branches were, but it was no problem for Grady. Additionally my kids had a blast watching him work, and he even let them try on his harness. The spent the rest of the day dressing up as tree trimmers (using suspenders as their harness).

Amazing! Everything was trimmed to my requests. Best of all, branches/trees were chipped on site, so no messy clean up! Grady was easy to work with, he used an easy payment system (Paypal) and was prompt and professional! I will always call him first for tree services. Thanks, Grady!
Description of Work: I needed trees trimmed in both the front & back yard. I also had a dead tree removed.

Grady did a great job in bringing the tree down without damage to the fence below it. He was efficient, professional and thorough in both cutting and removing it. I'd highly recommend Sherpa.

They were very professional and friendly, listened to my wishes, asked questions when needed before completing job. Cleaned up and were very thorough. They were running behind schedule, but kept me well informed of their ETA, and were very apologetic. I didn't mind at all since they kept in contact with me. We now have sunlight getting to our lawn and home, which will hopefully encourage the grass to grow once again. Very pleased!

Hi [Removed Member Name] , we really appreciate the opportunity to work! It might be a good idea to give the Magnolia tree in the backyard 5-10 gallons of water a week until the end of November (don't worry about it weeks that it rains . . . like this week!).

I own Stearman Landscaping & Irrigation LLC. We have been too busy for tree work so I turned to Sherpa to do sub contract tree trimming and removal for me. He represented my company professionally. I have used them on several projects now, and recommend them to all my customers. I am going to continue to use Sherpa because they are very competitive, and knowledgeable. He can do the work cheaper than me so my customers don't have to pay extra. Grady can bring down trees in the most difficult spots without damage to person or property.
Description of Work: Grady did everything that he promised on his proposal.

Grady did a great job and professionally removed hazardous trees from the rooftop of a home. The tree had a bee-hive and was extremely dangerous to navigate the removal. He managed to take care of the situation and relieved the homeowner's and their children of the potential danger.

Getting that fallen Cedar Elm off the roof was a terrific challenge, removing the half that was still standing was the easy part. It just shows that even really sturdy Texas trees, like Cedar Elm, can easily blow over in a storm and damage the house. The trunk of that tree was so hollowed out that water collected inside and it came gushing out when I cut into it with the chainsaw; that was an experience! I'm glad the roofing guys were able to get that hole covered before the rain started!

I hired Sherpa Tree Service to trim several trees and also to remove a diseased tree. I was thrilled by the service and professionalism I received. Sherpa Tree Service delivered everything we discussed, from pricing, start date, and date of completion. Even the clean up was amazing, you never even knew they were there. If you need any tree services this is the company to use! I will defiantly use them in the future.

I'm glad you decided to have me remove that Cedar Elm limb hanging over your roof. The trees in your backyard look much better with all those dead limbs removed. Thanks for referring Josh to me as well! By the way, I talked to your neighbors and they are planning to have me remove that uber ugly dead tree in their yard as soon as the vegetable garden surrounding it is done for the season.

Those Holly trees were like handling porcupines and I didn't even wear long sleeves that day :-). It's all part of the job. Thank you for the work, prompt payment, and referral to your neighbor! Keep me in mind for the future. Here is a link to an inexpensive "tree-bandage" which you can wrap around that mysterious wound on that young Oak tree you showed me: [Removed Hyperlink]. It will deter insects and probably even some small critters if that was the cause of the wound.
