Why hire an arborist?
arborist, (ar·bor·ist) A specialist in the care of woody plants, especially trees.
Much like a physician, an arborist offers the care and treatment that each individual tree needs. They have the specialized training to recognize disease and how to treat it, understand how to guide the growth of a young tree, and provide the means to keep a mature tree stable under difficult conditions--all within the landscape of an actual forest or a city lot.

"Fine Tree Care is the BEST! Over the past several years I have had Jeff and his crew do several jobs for me. They are not only knowledgeable, but well organized to do the jobs in a timely manner. When they finish a job the area is cleaned up and looks like a park! The equipment Fine Tree Care has is big enough to handle the largest problem tree with ease." ~Marylee Carli
