  • Preventative Care For Trees

    Are you a contractor or homeowner considering doing renovations or construction near your trees? Before you do anything, read the following information to help prevent damages and diseases due to construction and poor yard care.


    Trees are susceptible to injury and diseases when the root system in the surrounding area is disturbed (with some trees, this could be a 100 ft. radius!). Things that may create damages and disease include but are not limited to, building, trenching, digging, filling, or compacting the root zone area of the tree. These can all be fatal to your tree. However, we can work with you or your contractor to pre-treat the surrounding area and rope off a set perimeter to ensure the survivability of your tree. It is imperative for this to be done prior to any construction or work being done, including demolition. 


    Another large factor to the spreading of diseases and pests is dirty lawn or tree pruning equipment, which is why we ensure all of our equipment is cleaned thoroughly after each job.


    Please reconsider the use of herbicides on your yard and landscapes, because they do affect your trees and plants negatively. We will show you other ways to prevent unwanted weeds in your lawn and landscapes that will be healthier for the environment.


    With a free estimate from our ISA Board Certified Master Arborist ®, we’ll advise you on the best preventative care to protect your trees and ensure survivability during any home renovations or nearby construction work.

  • Tree Treatment & Fertilization

    As a master arborist, Eric Putnam BMCA understands how important it is to provide a healthy environment, balanced nutrition, and proper care to ensure healthy tree growth. If your tree appears to be damaged or diseased, contact us today to schedule an arborist visit where we will come to your home and assess your tree’s health. Our ISA Board Certified Master Arborist ® will recommend the best tree treatment and fertilization plan to ensure your tree’s recovery and promote your tree’s healthy growth and survivability for years to come.

  • Tree Trimming & Removal

    Our experienced climbers and trimmers follow all ANSI Standards A300 Series to ensure proper tree care and trimming of your trees and bushes. All of our work will be done to your satisfaction with your property, family, and belongings as our primary concern of emphasis when it comes to providing proper safety and protection while executing our tree services.


    We offer tree pruning/trimming, tree removal, tree debris removal, and stump grinding. We can trim any tree whether it’s in the middle of your lawn or hanging over your home. We also offer post storm clean-up and trimming. 

  • Stump Grinding

    In order to preserve the health and aesthetics of your home’s yard, we recommend stump grinding rather than stump removal. Stump removal is a highly invasive process that involves using heavy machinery to extract not only the tree stump but all of its attached roots too (which may be spread out far and wide across your land). With stump grinding, we’ll remove the visible remains of your tree quickly and efficiently while limiting any damage to the surrounding area.

  • Organic Landscape Care

    Following an organic landscape care treatment plan can help improve the overall look of your grass and trees without any negative impacts on the environment. We recommend tree care products made from organic materials and environmentally friendly material as part of this treatment plan that is not only eco-friendly but safe for people, pets, and plants.
