Tight space? No problem
Not everyone wants, or has room for a bucket truck on their property. This is why we offer climbing services, including spike free climbing (for pruning) to keep trees healthy above ground AND below.
Bucket trucks can weigh upwards of 26,000lbs.
90+% of a trees absorbing roots live within the top 18in of soil.
Not only can the weight of a bucket truck cause soil compaction but also mechanical damage to the roots. This is something most clients don’t think of…just because you can’t see the damage below ground doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

We offer free tree health evaluations and seasonal maintenance plan options to keep your trees healthy above and below ground

People ask why we started a tree company when there are already so many around here.

Simple. Because we aren’t like the rest.

Rooted in Quality. Driven by Sustainability. isn’t just a slogan to us. It’s how we believe tree work should be done.

Too many companies are quick to cut everything down for a paycheck. We’d rather educate, preserve, properly maintain, and remove only when it’s truly needed. Because once an old Florida tree is gone, it’s gone. The shade, the habitat, the history, the character of the land… all of it.

We love this part of Florida, and we want our work to help protect the land, not just profit from it.

Don’t let the rain determine when your limbs come down…. During drought, trees get stressed. Limbs dry out, weaken, and tiny cracks can start forming where you may not even notice. Then we get a heavy Florida rain, the tree rapidly pulls in water, the canopy gets heavier, the ground softens, and stressed limbs can suddenly give way.

That’s why you’ll sometimes see large healthy-looking limbs on the ground after a storm even when there wasn’t much wind.

The tree in your yard isn't just shade. It's the base of a food chain.

Nesting chickadees need a remarkable number of caterpillars to raise one clutch — far more than most people would guess. Native trees host those caterpillars. Most non-native ornamentals host very few. The difference between what you plant determines what can nest nearby.

🌿 Native trees ranked by how many caterpillar species they support:

- Oak — more caterpillar species than any other tree genus in North America. One mature oak supports more insect life than entire yards of non-native ornamentals

- Black cherry — the native cherry most people treat as a w**d tree. Its caterpillar load feeds more birds than most ornamental cherries planted in its place

- Willow — fast-growing, water-loving, and among the highest caterpillar hosts on the continent. Native willows outperform the common weeping willow hybrids by a wide margin

- Birch — white, river, and paper birch all rank in the top tier. The caterpillars feeding on birch foliage are primary food for warblers and chickadees during nesting season

- Poplar and cottonwood — the messy tree people complain about is one of the more important wildlife trees in the country. The cotton is a minor inconvenience. The ecological output is hard to replace

- Native maple — red maple and sugar maple, not the imported Norway maple that lines many suburban streets. Norway maple supports far fewer caterpillar species than its native counterparts

- Elm — American elm was the dominant street tree for good reason. Disease-resistant cultivars are returning and bringing the caterpillar community with them

- Hickory — slow-growing and long-lived. The nuts feed mammals. The foliage feeds caterpillars. The caterpillars feed birds. A complete food web in one tree

- Native pine — the evergreen people assume supports nothing because it doesn't flower. Pine-specialist caterpillars are important food for birds in winter and early spring when deciduous trees are bare

The tree you choose determines what can eat, nest, and raise young within reach of it 🌿
