Professional Tree Care Services

All services performed by Midwest Trees adhere to the most current ANSI A300 & Z133 standards and accompanying ISA Best Management Practices.

I do not perform large tree removal or large tree pruning. However, I can still answer any questions you may have and provide guidance - I have a large network of other tree care companies that would be able to assist you in these situations.

Tree Assessments

Evaluations and Recommendations

Evaluation of trees and landscapes, including species identification, condition assessment, and practical management recommendations. Observations may include soils, mulch, irrigation, and interactions with surrounding plants or structures.

Tree Planting

Right Tree, Right Place, Installed Correctly

Tree planting sounds easy, right? Professional tree planting includes careful species selection, proper hole preparation, and correct placement of the root collar at grade. Installation is followed by a tailored aftercare plan covering mulching, watering, and pest monitoring to support long-term health and performance.

Plant Health Care

Managing Abiotic and Biotic Stressors

PHC focuses on maintaining and improving tree health by identifying environmental stressors, evaluating soils and site conditions, and addressing pests only when necessary. Treatments are targeted and timed, supported by monitoring and proactive recommendations to help trees naturally defend themselves and thrive long-term.

Small Tree Care

Ensuring Young Trees Grow Strong and Healthy

Small trees require proper selection, installation, and early care to develop into long-lasting landscape assets. I provide guidance and interventions to address common issues such as poor structure, damaged roots, pests, or buried root collars.
