Native Tree Planting
Ready to plant your native tree? Fall is the perfect time to plant because it allows trees to root properly before the next summer.
Please contact us for native species selection, quantity, and complimentary site inspection. We perform a free soil analysis before planting any tree.
Tree Pruning & Removal
The most important time to prune a tree is in between the first 4 to 8 years of their life. We provide pruning of mature, specialty, and young trees. Proper pruning cuts are critical to a trees ability to heal and its overall health. More importantly, pruning properly improves structure and reduces the risk of branch or whole tree failure during high winds, snow and or ice storms. ***Price upon complimentary onsite assessment

English ivy Hedera helix
Hedera helix is an aggressive invader threatening all levels of forested and open areas, growing along the ground as well as into the forest canopy. Vines climb up tree trunks and envelop branches and twigs, blocking sunlight from the host tree’s foliage, impeding photosynthesis. An infested tree will exhibit decline for years before it dies. The weight of vines also makes branches trees susceptible to detach and trees blowing over in storms. This plant has been confirmed as a reservoir for bacterial leaf scorch (Xylella fastidiosa), which affects a wide variety of trees such as elms, oaks, and maples.
