Expert Tree Care Preserving Our Urban Forest Canopy

Services

With 25 years of international industry experience across twelve countries, I incorporate a well-rounded approach to tree care, climbing, and training.

Residential Tree Care

Servicing the Twin Cites metro area, I help homeowners keep their trees healthy, safe, and beautiful. Whether you're getting new trees established or caring for old ones, I'm here to protect and enhance your landscape by offering pruning, removal, preservation, and consulting services.

Contract Climbing

  • Large and complex projects (small ones, too!)

  • High value and sensitive sites

  • Specialized rigging

  • Pruning where it should be done (in the outer canopy)

  • Difficult climbs and hard-to-reach areas

  • Crane work

  • Job site saves. (In over your head? I can help!)

Training and Workshops

  • Individual, crew, or company sized

  • Single and multi-day

  • Basic to advanced

  • Climbing and work positioning

  • Rigging and mechanical advantage

  • Aerial rescue

  • Work and train

I LOVE TREES!

Performing proper care and educating clients on the incredible benefits of trees are my top priorities. I believe that we can coexist with and safely manage large, mature trees in urban areas.
