Founder & President

SCOTT GRIFFITHS

Built on honest work.

In 1976, Scott Griffiths started Great Scott Tree Service in Garden Grove with a pickup truck, a chainsaw, and a belief that honest work done well would always stand apart. Fifty years later, that belief still guides every job, every relationship, and every tree entrusted to the Great Scott team.

A half-century of showing up, doing the work right, and caring for what grows next.

Where It Began

Before the certifications, crews, and modern equipment, there was one truck, a clear standard, and a founder willing to earn every customer’s trust.
