As the president of Ahlum & Arbor Tree Preservation, I’m proud to continue steering this growing family business toward the future.My father founded Ahlum & Arbor Tree Preservation more than 40 years ago, and I have been a part of it since my childhood, taking on whatever roles were needed — from trimming trees to running safety programs and client consultations. Throughout his life, he expertly taught me so much about horticulture and tree care. He also gifted me with a love for the outdoors and a work ethic that still won’t quit — even when it meant early Saturday mornings as a kid.Understanding the right balance between the art and science of arboriculture takes time and experience. At Ahlum & Arbor, we expertly offer a variety of services to our customers, including tree and shrub maintenance, plant health care and consulting services. In a world that’s always looking for the easiest solution, we pride ourselves on finding the right solution. Our team’s expertise, precision and attention to detail allow us to approach tree care in a responsible way that leaves a property better than we found it and preserves the natural beauty of the world around us. It’s our team that allows us to hold these high standards. I truly believe that our people are our most important asset, and making them feel supported within our company’s culture is paramount. From compensation and benefits to education and professional development, we must invest in the future of our industry by investing in each of our employees. Our business, our customers, and our communities depend on it. When I’m not at work, you’ll probably find me coaching my son’s soccer team or driving my daughter to horseback riding lessons. My family is my heart — including this family business.Ahlum & Arbor has continued to grow through the decades because our customers value the knowledge, quality and reliability this family-first business brings to the tree care space. With our goals firmly planted in our values, I know we’ll continue to make an impact in this industry and in our communities.
