Sustainability Efforts

Expertise, safety, and sustainability are the three priorities of every tree care service we perform. Since you can see our expertise and the safety measures we undertake, we thought we’d take some time to tell you about our sustainability measures. Sustainability is important to us. As a family-built company based in Frederick County MD, we have a deep appreciation for what makes this place great, and we want to keep it that way for generations to come.

Read on to learn more about how we put our belief in sustainability into practice.

Environmentally Responsible Arborists

We follow the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA)’s rigorous standards for selecting eco-friendly products. In addition to opting for more eco-friendly options, our team takes the utmost care in responsible usage and conservation of these products and resources.

That includes:

• Properly handling chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides with best practices for storage, labeling, and usage.
• Ensuring proper disposal of all chemicals, including automotive products for our fleet, as well as unused herbicides and pesticides
• Managing wastewater and stormwater in compliance with local regulations
• Ensuring the protection of water resources, fish, and wildlife by enthusiastically following all local guidelines

ISA-Certified Arborists in Charge

ISA sets the international standard for quality and sustainability in the tree care industry. Our services follow ISA best practices and we draw upon the expertise of our ISA-certified arborists whenever planning or implementing tree care solutions for clients.

Custom and Sustainable Tree Care Solutions

Every tree care service begins with careful examination of the tree and surrounding property. From there, we create a custom solution tailored to your needs. This allows us to produce better results while never expending excessive resources.

Cleaner Air Through Reduced Carbon Emissions

Though we may use heavy machinery and large vehicles during your tree service, we take care to limit our carbon footprint as much as possible. As a way to support our mission to reduce our emissions, we:

• Uphold a strict no-idling policy
• Optimize routes to reduce driving time
• Invest in fuel-efficient trucks and battery-powered equipment
• Stay on top of equipment maintenance and industry trends to boost efficiency wherever possible
