ABOUT US

Petaluma-native Sam La Rue started his arborist career in icy Minnesota, where he worked with Rainbow Tree Care. Upon his return to California, he established his own certified arboriculture practice in 2000, keen on preserving and maintaining the treescape of Sonoma County’s trees. 

Urban Arborist understands every tree and shrub is individual, just like people. Some trees require extensive management plans, while others don’t need much. We work with customer and tree alike, to figure out the best approach to achieve customer satisfaction, as well as tree health and longevity. 

Trees work hard to create oxygen – a great beneficiary we can’t live without. As their neighbors, we can give back to the trees by keeping them in mind, and providing the care they need, especially in urban developed communities.
