Ethical Tree Care Management
At Living Tree Care, we don't regard trees as unruly weeds. We do not remove a tree unless there is good reason. Having to rake leaves is not a good reason.
Pruning
Arborists USED to be called Tree Surgeons. The elimination of branches change the phsiology of a tree and properly performed and properly timed can either assist the safety, health and longevity of the largest longest lived perennials on earth, or improperly done begin their decline and death.
Removal
Please bare with us; Unless it is obvious to us that your tree is a hazard, we will always ask why you are leaning toward removal. In 45 years of tree care, President of LTC, Phil Berwick has expereinced that 9 out of 10 times that a tree owner THOUGHT their tree or was TOLD their tree should come down, in reality really did not have to.
Planting
Too many tree 'cutters' are removing trees at the drop of a chainsaw. Too few human beings are planting. When we install a tree, we hold to the protocol an elderly gal told us many years ago: You plant a ten dollar tree in a hundred dollar hole.
