"It’s difficult to know what’s best for our trees. Demian’s eye and experience helped us to make informed decisions based on the many environmental factors he brought to light during our Consultation. We have a myriad of trees on our land, many large firs, a thriving orchard of both new and old fruit trees, and privacy hedges, all which he was able to access and make a plan for care annually. It feels comforting knowing he will visit the trees yearly to access and tend to their needs without having to remove any of them. "

Q: What services do you provide?
We offer a full range of tree care services, including:
• Tree pruning and trimming
• Tree removal
• Tree planting

Q: How often should trees be pruned or trimmed?
Most trees benefit from maintenance every 1–3 years, depending on species, age, and location. We recommend pruning in late winter or early spring for optimal results.
Q: What’s the difference between trimming and pruning?
- Trimming is focused on shaping and clearing space from buildings, roads, and power lines.
- Pruning removes dead or hazardous branches and supports long-term tree health and safety.

No — removal is a last resort. We evaluate each tree carefully and recommend removal only if it's diseased, dying, poses a safety risk, or is causing property damage.

When do you suggest removal of a tree?
Removing a tree is a serious decision, and it’s usually best considered only when necessary. Here are the most common and valid reasons to remove a tree:
The Tree Is Dead or Dying
A dead tree can fall unexpectedly, especially during storms.
A dying tree (e.g., with extensive dieback, rot, or fungal growth like mushrooms at the base) often poses the same risks.
The Tree Is Diseased or Infested
Severe infections (e.g., Dutch elm disease, emerald ash borer) that can’t be treated may warrant removal to prevent spreading.
Signs: leaf discoloration, thinning canopy, unusual growths, pest activity.
The Tree Is Structurally Unstable
Major cracks in the trunk or significant lean not previously there can indicate structural weakness.
Included bark, hollow sections, or root damage are also red flags.
The Tree Is Causing Damage
Roots intruding into foundations, sidewalks, plumbing.
Branches interfering with power lines, roofing, or siding.
Tree is too close to a structure or planted in an unsuitable location.
The Tree Is Undesirable or Invasive
Some trees (like Bradford pears or Tree of Heaven) are invasive or weak-wooded and more prone to failure.
Trees that drop excessive debris, have aggressive roots, have a history of fractures/failure, or don’t fit your landscape needs.
The Tree Hinders a Construction or Landscaping Project
If it’s not feasible to work around the tree or preserve it safely, removal may be required
Visual Tree Inspection
Structural integrity: Cracks, splits, trunk damage, leaning.
Root problems: Heaving soil, exposed or decayed roots, root plate movement.
Crown health: Dead or dying limbs, sparse foliage, canopy dieback.
Fungal growth: Mushrooms or conks at the base (can signal internal decay).
Pests/diseases: Signs of infestation, cankers, leaf discoloration, borer holes.
