ARBORICULTURE
CONSULTING
HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN THE MIDWEST’S ARBORICULTURAL EXPERT? COUNT MY RINGS.
I know my way around a tree. But then again, most people do. What separates me from the pruners and climbers, however, is my experience across the gamut of tree care and arboricultural concerns.
​
I’m the expert you call for any professional arborist service you need to be covered.
