ISA Certified Arborists and Utah Tree Care Specialists
From our humble backyard business beginnings to the premier tree care specialists in Summit, Wasatch and Salt Lake counties, Wasatch Arborists has grown into the most trusted tree service company in northern Utah. Made up of a team of certified arborists, tree care specialists and outstanding management, Wasatch Arborists is rooted in its founder.
In 2015, after half a decade working with trees on the East Coast and three years as an employee of Great Western Timber Company, Ryan Torcicollo took over ownership and operation of the Kamas-based company. On March 1, 2016, Ryan renamed the company and Wasatch Arborists officially sprouted.
An International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborist and award-winning competitive tree climber, Ryan has maintained a small-town, local approach to customer service while improving the company’s tree care with his innovative skills and techniques learned from world-renowned tree climbers from across the country.
