Our Philosophy
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." – Dr. Seuss, The Lorax
At Carpe Tree'em, we approach tree care differently. Instead of following the conventional forestry or production faller model—where efficiency and high-output pruning take precedence—we prioritize long-term tree health and ecological balance. Our philosophy is rooted in science-backed care, seeing trees as part of a thriving ecosystem rather than objects for removal.
Many tree care companies focus on cutting—big chippers, bucket trucks, and maximizing material removal. This leads to an industry that profits from disturbance rather than stability. Ironically, in the name of care, many practices weaken trees, creating cycles of stress and decay.
Carpe Tree'em was founded to change that. We work for trees, not against them. Our goal isn't to maximize cuts—it's to provide thoughtful, science-backed care that supports natural growth, resilience, and longevity.
"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more so that we may fear less." – Marie Curie
Free quotes often come with an incentive to sell unnecessary pruning or removals. We take a different approach. A paid consultation provides an unbiased assessment, ensuring you get expert advice based on your tree's actual needs.
Investing in a consultation can ultimately save you money by avoiding unnecessary work while maintaining and even enhancing your property's value. Healthy, well-maintained trees add curb appeal, ecological benefits, and long-term stability.
And as a thank you, if you choose our services after the consultation, we'll waive half of the consultation fee—making expert tree care an even better investment.
