As a certified arborist and licensed tree expert with 45+ years of experience, I enjoy helping customers figure out the best way to take care of their trees and landscape. A well-pruned and cared for tree is a beautiful sight to me. My specialty is root system health and I have extensive experience with overcoming construction damage and identifying problem issues such as erosion, irrigation damage, compaction, lack of nutrients and girdling roots. One of my mantra's is 'you can replace a mature lawn, but you can't replace a mature tree.'Tree classes and certification in biology, identification, soil, water management, nutrition, selection, installation and establishment, pruning, support and protection systems, diagnosis and disorders, health care, assessment and risk management, construction issues, safety and climbing.
