What we look after
Pruning
Structural and maintenance pruning timed to the species and the season, so cuts heal rather than invite trouble.
Health monitoring
Our crews are on your property weekly. Stress, insect pressure and disease get caught early, when treatment is still cheap.
Seasonal treatment
Targeted programs for the pests and conditions that actually show up in this valley, including bark beetle pressure on conifers.
Why weekly eyes matter
Problems start small
A stressed aspen looks fine from the driveway for a season. Up close it does not.
Treatment beats replacement
Catching a problem early costs a fraction of removing and replanting a mature tree.
Storm response
Wind and heavy wet snow take limbs down here. We clear and make safe, then assess what can be saved.
Connected to the rest of the property
Trees and shrubs compete with turf for water and light, so we manage them together with lawn care and irrigation rather than in isolation. New plantings are chosen and placed as part of the landscape, not dropped in afterward.
Trees here are slow to grow and quick to lose.
A mature aspen stand or a row of established conifers represents decades you cannot buy back. At this elevation replacement is not a season, it is a generation, which changes the math on preventive care considerably.
The work is mostly watching: knowing what a tree looked like last year, catching the change early, and pruning in the window where the tree can actually recover from the cut.
Through the year
How the season runs
Ongoing
Health monitoring
Watching established plantings across seasons so a decline gets caught while there is still something to do about it.
Dormant
Pruning
Structural and corrective pruning timed to the species and the season rather than to whenever the crew has an opening.
Seasonal
Treatment
Seasonal treatment for the pressures that show up here, including the vole damage that appears when snowpack recedes in spring.
After a storm
Storm response
Wind and heavy wet snow take limbs every year. Clearing what came down and assessing what is left is part of the same relationship.
Common questions
Questions we get asked
When is the right time to prune?
It depends on the species. Doing it at the wrong point in the cycle stresses a tree that already has a short window to recover, which is why timing is set per planting rather than by a single date on a calendar.
What is causing the damage at the base of my trees in spring?
Often voles. They tunnel under snowpack through the winter and girdle bark at the base where nothing can see it happening, and the damage only becomes visible once the snow goes.
Do you handle new plantings as well as established trees?
Yes. New plantings need a different kind of attention than established ones, particularly through their first winters.
What areas do you serve?
We work throughout Jackson, Wilson, Teton Village and the surrounding Teton County valley. Call (307) 733-1588 to confirm your property.
