I believe in being good stewards of our natural resources, in practicing sustainable forestry and the best of permaculture. After spending more than 5 years in the tree service industry with two of the largest tree care companies in Central Virginia, I decided to start my own tree care company - one dedicated to responsible practices, permaculture design, and the ethical treatment of pesticide.

Shadetree Pruning & Permaculture is an owner-operated, full service tree care company, providing tree pruning, tree removal, permaculture design, and installation. I'm an International Society of Arboriculture, (ISA) certified Arborist, as well as an ISA Tree Worker Climber Specialist, ( MA-5610AT), and a Virginia Certified Pesticide Applicator.

I'm passionate about the twin subjects of aboriculture and permaculture and the implications for our ecosystems, food independence, sustainability, community, and dietary health. I look forward to caring for your existing trees and plants through correct pruning, support cable installations, lightning protection installation in trees, and other industry standard practices.

That being said, Crape Myrtles do bloom on new growth, with this in mind, if you are looking for maximum flower production and longevity on this years bloom, you will want to prune before spring growth. As far as which cuts to make, I like to step back and assess the over-all shape of the tree, and look for opportunities to prune out limbs that detract from the look of the tree.

Positive: Quality
Cory and crew took down four dead and dying trees on our property last year. We were very impressed with their neatness and are happy to have him come back and take down a fifth tree. He also offered us great advice on other trees we had on the property so we could best care for them. Definitely recommend Shadetree to others!

Cory and his team are extremely knowledgeable and great to work with! Cory came out for a quote the same day I called him, and two days later, he and his team removed a very large dangerous tree that had already dropped a large limb and damaged our house. He answered every question we had and made us feel safe again! Highly recommend, and will definitely be using Shadetree Pruning in the future!

Shadetree, with Cory and crew, did an excellent job taking down a dead pine and carefully pruning a maple and two willow oaks. Careful and neat.

Cory and his crew removed several trees and did some much needed pruning on our property. They did an absolutely fantastic job and they will definitely be our GO TO pruners in the future. They are the absolute best!

Cory did an excellent job pruning a tree in my yard. He left the site clean and tidy after he finished the job. Will use his services again and will recommend him to anyone.
