Services

Where do I work?
I serve all of Los Angeles County and can travel to San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and San Diego Counties.

What trees do I work with?
The tree that I work with most often, that is nearest to my heart and most important to LA’s urban and wildland spaces, is the coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia). But LA’s trees are famously diverse, so I also work with many other trees native to LA, SoCal, and CA, and numerous non-native trees.
