OUR APPROACH:
Pruning is what establishes the backbone of a beautiful, healthy, well established plant. The forever changing tree or shrub canopy is in need of a professional who’s in touch with each growth stage. Having the knowledge to identify each tree, how it grows, the stages of it’s life, and problem it faces in the landscape and what to do when maintaining is a ton of science and experience all rolled into one. Precision pruning and the ability to educate and instill proper practices is the main mission.
Everyday, large trees are being replaced with ornamental trees that flower, grow smaller, and have less insect and disease issues. First hand experience of 25 years in the tree industry and formal education is what David brings to every property.

“A tree is much more than a chunk of dead wood. Trees are alive, they live all year ’round, not just for a short time in the summer. They work during the winter, too. Many people spend time on what goes wrong with a tree; I wanted to study what goes right.”
