Plant Health & Care - Proper Pruning - Soil Amendments - Planting & Removal - Storm Damage

06/03/2026

Sometimes we do crane things without a crane. Failed hackberry, situated directly under this massive pecan. Daylight could be seen through all of the splits, but that wasn’t a concern. Access the pecan, hang a couple blocks, set the slings and then shelf cut the pieces. Load transfered them off into the yard for easy processing.
While I am mostly advertising for pruning and phc styles of work, this is what I’ve spent the better part of my career doing. Nasty trees with limited access for equipment done safely.

The photos that tell a story.

You wouldn’t go to a doctor you knew was committing malpractice would you? So why would you allow a tree service todo the same thing to your trees? We don’t give trees a “haircut”; that would imply we are only cutting dead regenative tissues. Outside of removing deadwood that simply isn’t the case. A removal is a removal is a removal; where as pruning (often referred to as trimming), is dealing with live tissue and should be focused around the overall biomass, health and well being of the tree. Do not let someone tell you that topping is ok! You are forcibly tapping into the tree’s reserves, thus allowing them to be extremly prone to diseases and pests. You are opening them up to sun scald; yes trees can become sunburnt. You are also forcing them to activate secondary nodes, and while the sucker growth can be managed and maintain, you are forcing it to have weak attachments until that long process is completed. Over my years of experience, I have seen more poorly maintained canopies on roofs than I have hollow trees. These are living beings, that stay balanced and upright via a dampening system, the dampening system is their branch structures. Do not be fear mongered into malpractice by someone that hasn’t taken the time to learn about tree biology.
We offer an ethical and cost efficient service based around experience in the field and education. This message isn’t directed at anyone individual, but to help do our part in educating the consumers in our area of operations. Logan has pruned trees across the country and studied under the individuals that have written our industry standards. We are different than everyone else around, because we have taken the time to become educated in our trade.

Bio-mechanical damages
What are they exactly, and how do we prevent them? This photo was taken the other day on job site. Amanda noticed it and immediately understood what was happening. Big beautiful wind chime and gouged bark; so what’s happening? Every time a good gust of wind comes through the chimes are swinging into the trunk of the tree, and just like a river over a stone, it is slowly chiseling the bark away. Eventually with this kind of wounding the tree will succumb to disease and or pests. This is an example of a biomechanical wound. In this situation simply extending the hanging platform further away from the trunk would have been the solution. Other examples include “dozer blight”, this is when heavy equipment catches the tree ripping away at it. Even your lawn mower hitting those surface roots. In those two examples a root protection zone before your grading project or a compost bed become your greatest ally in the fight to retain your trees.
By definition a biomechanics wound is; refers to physical damage such as broken branches, torn bark from animals, or mechanical injuries from equipment that ruptures the bark, cambium, and xylem. The trees natural response is to begin CODIT and seal the wound, they never heal they just seal.

If you have love for your trees and their overall health, we are the folks to call in southern Indiana. We specialize in pruning and retention based projects, while maintaining the ability to safely get them to the ground as well. Give me a call to set up an estimate. 217-412-4637

Amanda and I were in with Dan and Jordan todo some pruning and install a cable in the hackberry. It’s suffered a major failure, which resulted in a split. Targeted reductions were discussed and then made, it had even mostly closed the gap before the cable was installed.
We have a heavy focus on proper pruning and retention. If you have pruning needs make sure to give us a shout.

Jordan Cooper Tree Care swooped in and grabbed the most technical job of the 2026 season, so far. This beast of a storm damaged oak was down in Jordan and I met via industry events such as competitions, rescue trainings, and trade shows. It’s been a deep desire to get down there and smash some work with him. The technical aspect of this job required precision. 36-40” dbh with the central top blown out and resting on the structure…….amd the tree had two different stories of the structure attached to it. Multiple systems were implemented to get it down and away from the first and second story decks.
If you have a technical situation and you’re worried about who to call, give me a shout. We specialize in the weird silly situations.

First major project of the year. Big thank you to Greg for having us out, and Paul for the referral. Met Paul at tci expo this year, and have recently been out contract climbing for him. This oak was in . A little bit of rigging to skinny her up and some mechanical advantage to pull her over.
For estimates feel free to reach out via messenger or call/text 217-412-4637
