About Hunter Tree Service

“I founded Hunter Tree Service because I’ve always had a deep appreciation for trees and the incredible role they play in our environment. While earning my bachelor’s degree in forestry, I became even more fascinated with understanding tree health. Not just knowing when a tree needs to be removed, but also understanding how proper care and selection of the right native species can transform a landscape and help it flourish naturally.

Too often, tree care gets reduced to basic removal or pruning without real planning or scientific insight. This can lead to unintended damage, higher costs for homeowners, and missed opportunities to positively impact the property and environment. I approach every project with genuine passion and a commitment to providing trustworthy guidance, helping homeowners make informed choices that benefit their properties and sustain our local ecosystems for years to come.”
