Meet the Owner

Edwin — Owner / Lead Climber

I started climbing because I liked the work and I couldn't stand watching crews butcher good trees and leave a mess behind. Fifteen years later I'm still the one tying in, and I still walk the yard with the homeowner before we load up.

My background is in hazardous removals, technical climbing, and rigging — the kind of work where a bad tie-in or a rushed cut can take out a roof. That training is what lets us lower limbs over pools, sheds, and power lines without touching them, and it's why I still tie in on the tricky ones myself.

We keep the crew small and the equipment sharp. You get the same faces from the estimate to the last wheelbarrow of chips, and you get a straight number before anything gets cut.

24/7 Emergency Response

Tree down? We're already moving.

Storm damage doesn't wait for business hours. We cut and clear trunks off roofs, driveways, and fences day or night.

Hanging limbs get taken down before they drop a second time.

We photograph and document the damage so your insurance claim has what it needs.

See the work

Certified climbing. Real rigging.

Get that tree gone and limbs trimmed before it is too late. The cost to fix a roof is a lot more than a routine trim.

Every cut is planned before the saw starts. We rope, rig, and lower limbs the right way — so nothing hits your roof, fence, or driveway.

This is how Ed's Tree Specialists handles a routine trim from start to finish.

Trimming & pruning

Cut less, cut smarter

Good pruning is subtraction with a plan. We thin the crown to let wind pass through instead of pushing on it, pull the deadwood out of the canopy, and cut clearance back off the roof, the driveway, and the service line to the house.

Timing matters. Most hardwoods take a heavy cut best in late winter while they're dormant; light clearance and deadwooding can happen any month. Topping is never on the table — it invites rot and weak regrowth.

  • Storm breakage from heavy, unbalanced limbs
  • Roof, gutter, and siding damage from overhanging wood
  • Disease spreading out of dead and rubbing branches

15 years of climbing says the same thing every time: the trees that get pruned are the ones that don't come down in a storm.
