Small businesses are the backbone of an economy.

The owners of these small businesses are entrepreneurs who take significant financial and operational risks, create jobs, and bring creativity and ingenuity to their communities. They work long hours, navigate challenges, and make personal sacrifices to keep their businesses thriving.

Our research team at Expansion Support Services, owners of the County Advisory Board, identified Mountain Arborist as a business that is highly valued by its customers and provides essential tree care services to the community.

The company’s continued success reflects the dedication, skill, and perseverance of its owner, Alex Roberts. Alex’s journey into the tree service industry began at just 20 years old, when he answered a classified ad for a job—though his passion for outdoor work started much earlier. As a child, his mother encouraged him to spend time in the garden, instilling in him a strong work ethic and appreciation for nature.

On his very first day in the field, Alex witnessed something that would shape his future—someone climbing a tree with a chainsaw. From that moment on, he immersed himself in learning everything he could. His drive and determination quickly set him apart: within just two months, he was promoted to climber, and after a year, he advanced to foreman.

Alex continued to build his expertise by working with multiple companies, gaining experience and pushing himself as far as he could within each role. Along the way, he developed a strong foundation in safety, quality workmanship, and attention to detail—qualities that continue to define Mountain Arborist today.

Beyond his professional achievements, Alex is deeply committed to his family and community. He enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife, son, and dog—whether exploring trails, fishing, visiting the beach, or simply enjoying nature. He is also an avid fan of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Alex remains actively involved in community events and programs, and he takes personal initiative in organizing multiple tree service companies to donate their time and services to local charities and families in need—demonstrating his commitment not only to his craft but also to giving back.

We take this moment to acknowledge and thank Alex Roberts for his past, present, and future contributions to Hamilton County. His leadership, resilience, and community spirit exemplify what it means to be a local business owner.

Alex Roberts, you are highly commended and appreciated for playing a vital role in the business community of Hamilton County, TN.
