ABOUT US

A Partnership,
Not Just a Service

Established in 2013, our focus is on preservation-based tree care and estate management for clients who value beauty, legacy, and longevity.

At Heirloom, we take the long view. Every pruning cut, planting choice, and preservation strategy is crafted to align with your vision and elevate your property’s design. Whether walking your gardens with you, coordinating with your design team, or protecting your mature trees during renovations, we work as your trusted partners — bringing calm, confidence, and expertise to every step.

We approach our work with a spirit of curiosity and collaborative discovery. Just like the trees we care for—we seek to nurture and establish long-lasting relationships with our clients.

Heirloom Tree & Shrub Care is fully insured and happy to provide certificates of insurance upon request.

Chris Wood

Owner / ISA Certified Arborist
ASCA Registered Consulting Arborist #942
Tree & Shrub Preservationist

Chris is far from your typical tree guy. He’s best characterized as a fine arborist with a focus on tree and shrub preservation. With both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Forestry Conservation and Conservation Biology, Chris’s extensive education and 24 years of experience supports the quality and care you’ll receive when working with Chris and his talented team.

Chris approaches all new projects with a keen and skilled eye, scanning for possibilities, as well as hazards, to transform and maintain a healthy and symbiotic nature to your woody plants and overall landscape.
An insatiable learner, Chris’s curiosity about the plant kingdom began at an early age and led him along paths of conservation, wildlife, woody plant research, forestry, and property stewardship.
His extensive knowledge of both native and horticultural plants and how they interact with each other and the landscape, allows him to work with clients to design landscapes that are beautifully cohesive, healthy, and long-lasting.
In addition to running a thriving fine arboriculture business and spending time with his wife and young children, Chris gives back.
He was an arboriculture instructor at Essex Technical High School in Hathorne, MA. and has volunteered as a mentor for graduate students in Conservation Biology at Antioch University in Keene, NH.
