A different kind of tree service
Trees are organisms, not problems to remove.
Most tree-service companies sell removal. We start with diagnosis. A tree that looks “sick” might have a treatable disease, a soil deficiency, or root compaction from a decade-old patio job — none of which requires a chainsaw.
We do remove trees when removal is the right call. But we also do micro-trunk injections, soil and root amendments, structural pruning for young trees, and species-specific care for the oaks, maples, hickories, and river birches common in Greene County yards.
Diagnose first
Identify oak wilt, anthracnose, EAB, bagworms, or soil issues before recommending action.
Treat where we can
Micro-injections, soil amendments, fertilization, and corrective pruning.
Remove when we must
Hazardous, dead, or structurally failing trees handled cleanly and safely.

Full-spectrum tree care.

Why Jordan
Twelve years in the canopies before this was a business.
Jordan started in utility-line clearance, then spent years as the municipal arborist for the City of Springfield and vegetation manager for the City of Nixa. He represents Missouri on the state Community Forestry Council. Most tree-service owners can say “certified” — Jordan can tell you which oaks the City of Springfield planted in 2014.
