Urban Forestry Services

What This Service Involves

Building and sustaining a healthy public canopy requires more than reactive maintenance, and our program integrates inventory, planning, and scheduled care under one contract. Certified arborists help draft or update management plans, set cyclical pruning and planting schedules, and align work with Tree City USA and grant requirements. We coordinate species diversity, canopy targets, and risk reduction into a multi-year roadmap your council and staff can defend. Ongoing reporting shows progress against canopy and maintenance goals each season.
