Structural pruning, deadwood removal, and canopy shaping. Hand tools first. We work with the tree's natural form, not against it.
Observational diagnosis of pest pressure, fungal issues, structural defects, and decline. Honest evaluation — no upsell.
Early structural pruning prevents costly problems at maturity. The best investment you can make in a tree is when it's young.
Part of the work is helping you see your yard the way an orchardist sees an orchard — who's here, how old, what's missing, what's thriving. A written summary you keep.
Most tree problems don't announce themselves. They build quietly — a pest taking hold, a branch losing attachment, a root zone slowly compacting. By the time you notice, the work is bigger than it needed to be.
The Tree Steward program is a standing relationship. I make my orchard round on a regular schedule — ladder up if needed, checking in on bugs, watching for what's changed season to season. After a storm I check in before you have to call.
You get someone who knows your trees. I get a route worth driving.
I grew up in Upper Arlington — Tremont Elementary, Jones Middle School, UAHS class of '97. I know these streets, these yards, and the trees that have shaped this neighborhood for generations.
I left for a while. Worked orchards. Volunteered in the old growth rainforest of the Olympic Peninsula — the oldest trees in America. Helped write speeches for US Senator George Voinovich. Came back with a different kind of education and a deeper respect for what we have right here.
Arlington Tree Co. is built around hand tools, patient observation, and work that respects the long life of a tree. I take on less so I can do it better.
"His goal would be to protect the trees —
carefully inspect and adore each of the leaves."

Hand tools first.
Slow work. Done right.
Not Columbus-wide. Not all directions. UA has a distinct character — mature canopy, a community that genuinely cares about its trees, and a Tree City USA designation since 1990. That focus lets us do better work.
