We’ve been working with Chris for a number of years and could not be happier with the transformation of our property. Thanks to Chris’s creative vision and wealth of knowledge we have removed old junky trees and replaced them with much more desirable ones. He’s also created privacy for us with his plantings. We cannot speak highly enough about Chris and his crew!

Chris has a keen eye for assessing trees and a unique connection with landscapes that most landscape professionals lack. He will make you feel at ease as he takes the time to walk through options, explain scenarios and complete the work in a detailed, efficient manner.
I would highly recommend Chris and his team for anyone looking to simply preserve their beloved trees or to transform their property into a landscape that supports the longevity of their woody plants and the wildlife that depend on them.
