Helping institutions create green spaces and preserve
healthy, beautiful trees
 |
| Emory and Henry College |
Our work for large properties and estates dates back to 1919 when our founder, George Van Yahres, was hired to provide tree care and consulting for the grounds restoration effort at Monticello. Since that time we've continued to build a group of clients that understands the valuable contribution healthy trees and plants make to their landscape. Today we proudly serve many of Central Virginia's schools and universities, estates, historic properties and corporations.
We incorporate your organization's campus, trees and mission into specific advice and recommendations that will give you the maximum results. You'll see healthy, safe and well-maintained trees and plants that are an asset to your organization and green spaces for years to come.
