Why choose Sullivan Tree Care
An arborist, by definition, is an individual trained in the art and science of planting, caring for, and maintaining individual trees - arborists provide tree service. Arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are trained and equipped to provide proper care. Hiring an arborist is a decision that should not be taken lightly.
Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns. Well-cared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property. Poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability. Pruning or removing trees, especially large trees, can be dangerous work. Tree work should be done only by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees.
Brian is among the most experienced and credentialed practicing arborists in the state of Vermont - yet still offers reasonable rates for tree service.
