Dave Behlke, ISA Certified Arborist
Dave Behlke is an ISA-certified arborist and the founder of Canyon Crown Tree Co, with over 11 years of hands-on experience serving Northern Utah. His passion for trees began during summers spent hiking the Wasatch Range, where he developed a deep respect for Utah's native ecosystems.
After earning a degree in Forestry from Utah State University and obtaining his ISA certification, Sav founded Canyon Crown Tree with a simple mission: provide honest, expert tree care that prioritizes safety, sustainability, and customer satisfaction.
Today, Canyon Crown Tree has grown from a one-person operation into Salt Lake and Utah County's most trusted tree care team — 12 trained professionals handling everything from routine pruning to complex removals and 24/7 emergency storm response.
