  • All of our tree pruning and tree removal jobs are supervised by our professional arborists.
Rob Calley
Rob Calley has owned and operated Backridge Tree Service since 1998. He graduated from The University of Kansas with a bachelors degree in environmental studies in 1993, and has since made the gulf coast his home. His college education, a certified arborist credential and his practical experience as an Oregon timber cutter and tree climber, make him a well rounded, educated professional.
Travis Morales
Travis Morales is a young energetic arborist who joined our team in the fall of 2012. One of the most technical climbers in the area, he brings new perspectives and techniques to our climbing program. He has competed in the tree climbing championships which gave him an opportunity to compete against the best in the country. Travis is an arborist with unlimited potential and we are extremely glad to have him on board.

    Tree climbing is not just something that happens at work. Recreational tree climbing with my family on the weekends is always a wonderful adventure.
  • Bradford Pear Failure
    This Bradford pear failed and fell onto neighbor's property. They are known for a structural deficiency called included bark. Not a great urban tree choice.

    This large laurel oak removal required a climber as well as a bucket truck. The lift could only reach the front side of the tree.

    Some trees are exceptionally close to houses and must be removed. This one was a threat to the foundation.
