About High Regard

At High Regard, we believe tree care is more than a service—it’s a discipline, a calling and a responsibility we take seriously. Our name says it all. We hold our work, our clients and our team in the highest regard, and we show up every day with a clear sense of mission that goes far beyond pruning branches or grinding stumps. Trees are living assets—vital to the beauty, safety and value of your property—and we’re here to help them thrive for the long haul.

Tree Care for a Brighter Tomorrow

Our core services focus on the three pillars of premium tree care: expert pruning, precise removal and comprehensive plant health care. While pruning and removals are often the most visible aspects of what we do, plant health care plays an equally critical role. With our extensive diagnostics, we help prevent problems before they start and keep your landscape flourishing year after year. It’s all part of our long-term asset management approach to tree care.

Every property is unique—and so is every tree. Our comprehensive consultations include a thorough on-site walk-through with an ISA-certified arborist who evaluates the health, structure and safety of your trees. You’ll get expert insight, honest recommendations and a clear understanding of what your landscape needs now and over time. Whether you’re dealing with a concern or planning ahead, it starts with the right eyes on the job.

More Than a Crew. A Craft.

Our roots run deeper than service offerings. At High Regard, we’re cultivating the next generation of elite tree care professionals through Hawaii’s only Registered Arborist Apprenticeship program. This intensive 3-year program, developed in partnership with the state of Hawaii and the U.S. Department of Labor, ensures every team member earns their stripes before wearing our badge. We don’t just hire employees—we invest in craftspeople. If you’re looking to grow your skills, find your purpose and join a team that values hustle, heart and high standards, we invite you to learn more and apply.

At the end of the day, our promise is simple: When you work with High Regard, you get more than a crew with chainsaws. You get a dedicated partner who treats your property with care, your goals with respect and your trees with the honor they deserve.
