The Ground in Tonawanda

Low lying clay lake plain soil along the Niagara River and Ellicott Creek keeps the water table shallow, softening ground for equipment in wet seasons. Soft ground after wet spells means we mat high traffic access paths before equipment moves in.

Pruned for health, not just looks

Correct pruning does more than tidy a tree: it removes deadwood before it falls, opens the canopy to reduce wind and ice load, and directs growth away from your roofline and wires. Our climbers work to ANSI A300 pruning standards on every job.

We prune ornamentals, shade trees, and fruit trees on a schedule that fits your property, with debris chipped and hauled the same day.
