not to sure about the Little Rock Area, but a good friend of mine from Gentry AR just moved back there (from Milwaukee, WI area) to try and start up a tree co. and had little luck. He told me there are only 2 major tree services in his area, both major hacks (after seeing the style/quality of work in WI). He also made mention of all of the meth heads and crack addicts that will to tree work for about 200/day, just to get a fix. From what I hear from him, people in his area (North West AR) dont have the money, or desire to have tree work done until it is too late. Most of his work is removing dead trees, or removing dead/fallen trees from cars and buildings. Very little preventative maintenance, or pruning. But that is NW Ark.
I would get on yellowpages.com, or some type of search engine and see what is out there.
Good Luck!

Go to the ISA website http://www.isa-arbor.com/findArborist/verifyArbByPostal.aspx and enter the zipcode of the area you are interested in... This should be a good place for you to start , They will provide contact information for certified arborists in that area.

TCIA Website very useful for search
Take a look at the TCIA website and do a search for AR. I just did a search for Arborist companies in AR on the TCIA website. The good thing is that it lists contact info usually will link to a website if they have one. They list 2 in Little Rock and 1 in North Little Rock. I didn't check if any of the others are in that local area, but this might give you a good start. Best of luck in your search.

Here is the link for TCIA. Their listings are member companies as opposed to ISAs which would be individual arborists. So I think that this was an excellent suggestion for your purposes.

Under the Find a Qualified Tree Care Company heading click on the link titled "Advanced Search:Find a Tree Service Company by name or other criteria." I just did it for AR and found 6 companies. 5 of the 6 are within 25 mins of little rock.
This link may give you some more leads to look into. http://www.yellowpages.com/Little-Rock-AR/Tree-Service

thank you gentelmen. I used those links and came up with some more numbers to try. so far i havent found many people hiring until they see what the economy is going to do. But I really appreciate the suggestions.
