Tree Care and Brush Removal
It is well known that planting trees is a good way to catch carbon, making trees one of the best ways to address climate change. But what do we do with them after we plant them? Throughout its lifespan and especially at the end, a tree will produce large amounts of wood that is usually treated as a waste product. Many people burn their wood debris, putting the carbon right back into the air.
Your wood is not a waste product. It is a natural resource. By burying wood and using it as mulch, we put the carbon into the soil where it can make food, retain water, and create beautiful landscapes.
Most trees in a populated area have a 50 year useful lifespan. Young trees catch carbon faster. Old trees become dangerous and expensive to maintain. When a tree is felled, a new tree can be planted on that land to catch more carbon. Wherever your trees are in this cycle, we have products and services designed to maintain healthy trees and make good use of the carbon that they catch.

New Trees
Doing absolutely nothing is a great way to start new trees. These balsam trees, which are native to Minnesota, volunteered (planted themselves). These pictures were taken 26 months after the area was left alone to naturalize. They are over 10 feet tall and have required zero labor or materials to plant or maintain.
If you want a particular kind of tree, or if you want trees to grow in an area where they are not volunteering, we can do that too. But you won't get the cost savings and natural vigor of volunteer trees.

Brush Removal
Wood debris is normally treated as a waste product. We see it as a natural resource that we turn into fertile soil. For a substantial savings, we can use your brush to make soil on your property. Or we can remove the brush from your property and make use of it elsewhere.

Stump Hillock
Grinding out a stump is an expensive service that requires special machinery. And when it's done you're left with a hole.
We build a garden bed around your stump to bury it. Over time, it will decompose and become soil.
