Ground to Crown is a full-service tree care company that believes in educating our customers to make the best decisions for the health and safety of their trees. Along with tree removal and pruning, we also offer a wide range of tree services.

TREE PRUNING

If you have older trees with dead branches, trees that are growing too close to structures and driveways, or fruit trees that need some TLC, our tree pruning services are ideal. We’ll assess which branches need to be removed, taking into consideration the best course of action for the health of your trees. 

 

TREE REMOVAL

A tree that is diseased or dead, especially one that is in danger of falling on your property, will most likely need to be removed. You also may need trees removed for access, gaining more light, or building a new structure. It’s important to consult with an arborist before removing any tree, and equally important to work with an expert that can strategically fell the tree without risk to your personal property. 

​

EMERGENCY TREE REMOVAL & STORM CLEANUP

When a storm brings down a tree, you want to take care of the issue as soon as possible. Whether trees have fallen on a structure or on your land, getting a professional team to remove the tree without further damage to your property is key. Be sure to contact your home insurance company first thing to report the damage and to ensure that you are covered for the removal. Report any downed or live power lines. Our emergency tree removal customers get fast service to address the potential dangers and to get your property back to normal as quickly as possible. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

VISTA PRUNING (VIEW WORK)

When you have a line of trees that’s taking away from a stunning view, vista pruning is a great solution. This involves thoughtful pruning that takes out select branches and opens up the view without compromising the health of the tree. The benefits of this method, rather than complete removal, include maintaining tree diversity, preventing erosion, allowing habitat for animals, and improving the aesthetics by framing the view. 
 

STAND MANAGEMENT

Often, wooded areas include invasive species and/or weak or damaged native species. Stand management selectively removes those trees that will inhibit the healthy and native varieties, giving them space to grow, and increasing the available nutrients for the trees to flourish.  

 

CABLING

When a large tree is in need of support to prevent splitting, or has a dual stem structure, cabling is an excellent solution. This approach supports the trees, enabling them to move fluidly while providing a strong and stable rigging as they grow.

PLANT HEALTH CARE

Unfortunately, pests happen to trees. We offer treatment for pests and disease that minimize chemical spread and property runoff. We’ll assess your tree and prescribe the best plan for getting it back to health. Additionally, if the tree is past help, we will give you honest recommendations for removal to avoid spreading the pests to healthy trees. 

​

PRE-CONSTRUCTION CONSULTATION & TREE PROTECTION ZONES

When a builder begins putting up a home, they often clear out what they need and keep a few trees for aesthetics. Unfortunately, many builders don’t understand the potential impact of grading, leveling, and building on cleared land. Many trees that are left standing end up dying a few years after construction. 

 

Whether you’re a builder or a homeowner that is planning to build on land, consider a pre-construction consultation. We’ll come in and assess the trees, helping you determine what to save, what not to, and which trees need extra protection. We’ll then set up a Tree Protection Zone to avoid damage during construction, and we’ll fertilize the trees to give them more strength during the stress of building. .

TREEHOUSE CONSULTATION

Thinking about building a treehouse? Whether it’s for your kids or for the adults, treehouses need to be built sympathetically with the trees to avoid damage and potential death of the trees. We can assess your build location and determine if it’s optimal, then make recommendations for the best way to work with the trees and keep them healthy.
