FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a member of Arborday.org, and read a lot of literature all the time learning about the latest practices. This is a constantly changing field as they are always learning different ways of doing things and being more efficient at our job can keep our prices competitive.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have been in this line of work since part-time during high school working for my brother's landscaping company, Hillside Landscape Maintenance. Then I started the tree company and we still work closely and can give discounts to customers that may use us both at the same time. For example, if you would like trees trimmed as well as your yard cleaned up for Spring.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Our most common job would be tree pruning. Mainly thinning and removing dead limbs. We also do a lot of removals of unsafe or unwanted trees as well, but enjoy the pruning better as we get to see the nice finished product at the end.
