Tree Care

Anne is a certified arborist, certified with the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) PN #6144-A. Correct pruning of your landscape trees and shrubs, increase the health and value of the plants, while improving the aesthetics and value of your home.

I work with trees that are 12’ or shorter on a ladder. I use hand tools to stay away from noisy, polluting gas powered equipment. Trees and shrubs get a better shape pruning by hand.

Before I start, I talk with the client to understand their wishes and needs, and the reason they want the tree or shrub pruned. It is best to know exactly the expectations of the client before any pruning starts. Once the limb is gone, it cannot be put back on! I work with the structure of the tree, and prune for the best shape and form of the tree. I do not top trees!

I have an artistic eye while pruning, and have a great feel for Japanese maples.

I also specialize in fruit tree pruning and training for fruit production. I work on new tree training and mature tree fruit production. I also prune berry shrubs including blueberry and huckleberry plus fruiting vines from kiwi to grape.

My belief is to observe the tree or shrub, prune correctly, step back, and look at the tree or shrub again, and to have a ‘light hand’ at pruning.

The cost for services varies, depending on size of trees and shrubs. Free estimates of course!

Payment is due at time of service.
