About the Team
Benjamin and Chelsea started Scenic City Arborists in 2019 with the goal of providing the highest quality, science based tree healthcare in Chattanooga. Through their practical experience working in the Chattanooga tree industry, they have developed a deep understanding of Chattanooga’s unique needs for tree health.
Benjamin and Chelsea are proud members of the Chattanooga community and the Hill City neighborhood. You’ll often find them outside, hiking or biking with their daughters, Matilda & Magnolia. Together, they run Scenic City Arborists (Benjamin in the trees, Chelsea in the office).
