Careth WCareth W ★★★★★ Capitol Tree Care is the best!!! I scheduled pruning of a large live oak tree in front of my home. Brian Garcia & Caleb H. did beautiful work raising the canopy, cutting away dead and random branches, etc. They even applied a spray to seal fresh cuts to promote health. All in the middle of crazy traffic & street work - in record time!! They took time to professionally answer my questions & address my concerns. Cleanup was thorough, as well! The crew absolutely went above and beyond expectations!!

Our Focus Is On Your Trees

Trees are an important part of the landscape which have a wide array of benefits such as converting carbon dioxide into oxygen, providing erosion control and providing a greater curb appeal for your property. Maintaining the well being of such intrinsic organisms requires an educational background in biology, ecology, tree identification, proper pruning and rigging techniques and the proper training on equipment to ensure a safe job-site. Our arborists are degreed and certified through the International Society of Arboriculture(ISA), providing the essential information to provide the proper care for your trees!

Service Areas

Complete Tree Care from a Certified Arborist

Whether you are looking to rehabilitate a stressed tree or remove a hazardous tree, Capitol Tree Care has you covered.

We specialize in the care of trees specifically and have the knowledge to provide consumers with the information they need to make informed decisions for their green assets.

We take a science based approach to assess your trees for their health and vigor as well as their structural integrity. Trees are complex organisms and require a multi-faceted approach to their management.

Depending on the situation, a long term plan is sometimes needed to facilitate a desirable outcome. Trees require time to recover from stressors so patience is a virtue. Because trees are a living organism, we can not guarantee a specific outcome, but can provide proper recommendations and services to assist in their recovery. When trees begin to decline, it is most likely the result of multiple stressors affecting the tree.

In order to minimize such stressors, maintaining a high level of tree health and vigor is essential. A stressed tree is an easy target for pests and disease, so preventative care can help reduce such adverse risks. Ask us about ongoing maintenance for your trees to help reduce the chance of a declining tree.
Capitol Tree Care values the benefits trees provide to both the environment and the urban landscape, so we approach your green assets with the utmost care and respect.
