Canopy Care

We trade our carbon dioxide and spreading of seed for their shelter, oxygen, and beauty. Because of this close mutualistic relationship I only use modern arborist practices that ensure trees and their partners can live long happy lives together. I make proper cuts to reduce sprouting (and all the corollaries: the ugly 'puff ball" effect, future weak branch junctions and structure, and therefore ex

tensive future storm damage). I use low impact climbing methods to keep your lawn rut-free and topsoil roots aerated. I refrain from "spiking" up living trees to minimize areas of possible pathogen entry. I cut just outside your trees "collar" to ensure the bark can heal over the branch. Thereby preventing rot from infiltrating into the parent branch. I also prune with future growth in mind; redirecting by removing small twigs or branches that may be growing into another tree, power line, or home. With these practices in hand, years of safe climbing experience and a genuine care for you and your trees I am prepared to do the best possible job at the best possible price. Brian Stampe
