What makes your approach to tree care unique?
Because I’m a climber, I get an inside look
Bucket trucks are awesome. But having the ability to inspect a tree from within the canopy (not just beside it) is a game changer. I can see how the wind moves the branches and which limbs the tree wants to drop to even itself. This allows me to make only the cuts that are the most beneficial for the tree’s longevity.
Have a hard to get to tree? Climbers (unlike trucks) can go almost anywhere. They’re gentler on your lawn too.
I believe in education
Often, property owners reach out about a tree whose location, shape, or size scares them. When I come out, my first goal is to listen to you thoroughly, and then to assess the tree. If the tree really is dangerous, it’s my job to tell you that it needs to come down. If it’s not dangerous, it’s my job to tell you what it’s asking for– to be an interpreter. I like to say that, much like Dr Suess’s Lorax, I speak for the trees. My commitment is to do the best for both of you I can.
Safety is my top priority
Safety for the property, its owners and occupants. Safety for the tree itself. Safety for me and my crew
I care about my work
I love helping people sleep at night instead of worrying, I enjoy solving problems creatively, and I like being able to advocate for things that can’t speak for themselves– like trees.
We’re a small, family owned and operated business
I see every project through from start to finish. That means the person who does your consultation is the person who does the work. That leads to fewer surprises, more personal care, and better continuity. I complete many of my projects solo, and when I do have help, it’s often my daughter, who’s a skillful climber in her own right.
I do a lot of cat rescues!
In fact, I’m Southwest Virginia’s only cat rescuer. If you’ve got a cat in a tree, I’m your guy.
