Questions and Answers
Can you really move a very large, mature tree on my Fisherville property?
Yes, that's our specialty. With our Big John tree spade and techniques refined since 1928, we routinely and safely transplant large specimen trees with trunks up to 20 inches in diameter and heights reaching 50 feet. We handle everything from shade trees to sentimental specimens, ensuring they are moved during their prime for the best chance of thriving in their new location.
We had a storm come through Fisherville and have a lot of debris and damaged trees. Can you help?
Absolutely. Our comprehensive tree care and landscape maintenance services include storm cleanup for local homeowners and businesses. We can safely remove storm-damaged limbs and trees, clear debris from your property, and assess the health of your remaining trees. We also provide disease management services to address any fungal issues that can arise or worsen after storm damage and wet conditions.
Do you provide full-service landscape design and installation, or just the trees?
We offer complete start-to-finish service. Our team of landscape designers and installers can create a custom plan for your property, select the perfect plants from our own nursery stock, and professionally install everything—from irrigation systems and hardscapes to the large specimen trees we're known for. This integrated approach ensures your vision is realized with healthy, well-established plants.
