Why Did you Become an Arborist?:
“My passion for becoming an Arborist began with an interest and appreciation of the outdoors and nature. I grew up in Edinburgh, Scotland and began my career at the Royal Botanical Gardens of Edinburgh. I spent more time outdoors than indoors, and wanted a career that would allow me to continue that passion. Nobody else was studying plant science, which also appealed to my individualism.”
Customer Service Philosophy:
“Treat my clients how I would like to be treated.”
What are Alison's Clients saying?
“Efficient, high quality, professional competence — all at a competitive sum. At first [Alison] Pottage won me over by her solid knowledge as an arborist, then the crew did their job to her specifications on our 60 to 70 foot oaks within a remarkable period of time — and left the grounds quite clean.”
Bob B., Philadelphia, PA
“Keep up the good work! I’m extremely pleased. My lawn was terrible before you took over the job. Now it’s beautiful.”
Andrea K., Bryn Mawr, PA
“I am very happy with the results [of the DeerTech system]. I rarely see a deer, but they are always at the woods edge of my property and don’t appear to venture forward!”
Pat M., Haverford, PA
