Tree Management Plans
We develop comprehensive management plans that evaluate your entire landscape, considering tree inventories, pest control, soil health, and maintenance needs. These plans are invaluable tools for property managers, providing a foundation for long-term landscape care.
Tree Inventories
A tree inventory is an essential first step in managing your landscape. It helps identify the quality and long-term viability of your trees, creating a baseline for future planning. Typically included in management plans, inventories provide valuable insight into your landscape’s potential.
Tree Preservation for Construction Projects
Construction can be traumatic for trees. Pre-construction consultations help protect plants, while post-construction consultations assess and mitigate any damage. Appraisals following natural or man-made incidents are also valuable, as trees contribute to the architectural, climatic, and aesthetic value of your property. Accurate appraisals are often required for legal disputes, insurance claims, or casualty losses.
Project Management and Landscape Assessment
Arborists can provide critical input during the planning stages of residential and commercial construction projects. By involving an arborist early on, you can avoid costly mistakes and protect your landscape investment.
Tree Valuation and Insurance
Trees can significantly increase property value, with good landscaping boosting market value by 5% to 20%. You can even add comprehensive coverage to your insurance policy to protect against storm damage to shade and ornamental trees. Regularly photographing your trees every few years helps document their condition and value, which can be crucial in the event of a loss.
Consulting and Design Services
- Site Consultations: We offer one-on-one consultations to address issues such as insect infestations, disease, storm damage, or cultural problems.
- Design: After consultation, we can create detailed landscape or garden designs. If specialized services are required, we can collaborate with licensed landscape architects or help find one.
- Plant Selection: We assist clients in selecting the best trees and shrubs for their landscape, ensuring long-term survival and resistance to pests and diseases.
- Plant Identification: We identify trees, shrubs, and vines on your property, offering tree hazard assessments, valuations, and care recommendations.
Landscape Installation and Maintenance
We oversee or perform all aspects of landscape installation, ensuring proper planting practices. We also offer long-term monitoring of landscapes, advising on mulching, watering, fertilization, pruning, weed control, and pest management.
Natural Area Management
If you have existing natural areas or are interested in developing them, we can help plan for their needs, including selecting plants suited to the local climate and wildlife.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Tim Nyquist
Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value
The folks at Owen Tree Service took such good care of my family. We had a massive tree fall on our house and cars, completely upending our lives, and Dave Kidd, Kay Sicheneder, and their whole crew working on it not only did a great job evaluating and removing, but also spent a good deal of time chatting with us, consoling us, offering advice, and generally putting our minds at ease. I sincerely appreciated everything they did for us and would highly recommend them if you’re looking for a good tree service. I can’t thank them enough.
Gayle Rickert
Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism
Trish did an exceptional job of assessing the tree removal, trimming, diseased/dead trees, and brush removal on our property. She explained the processes clearly and in detail. Trish is an extremely knowledgeable arborist. I highly recommend her to give a comprehensive review & estimate of your landscape needs.
Andrew Lapeer
I hired Owen to do a tree removal and some pruning for me. Extremely happy with the care they used on my property. I am also using them for my lawn fertilization this year. Arborist seems very knowledgeable.
Tonia Burns
Responsiveness, Professionalism
Called about having a 17ft tree placed in our yard. Received a call back from Trish you was incredibly gracious with her time and information. Unfortunately, trees that are over 6ft can't be planted by them. However, Trish gave me more than enough info to be confident about having a tree of that sized planted. I'd definitely call and use them for any other future services.
Tyler Smith
I have used Owen for over 10 years. They take care of my Apple tree, shrubs, lawn irrigation and weed/fertilizer. I have always found them to be price competitive, thoughtful and timely. 5 stars from me!

Owen Tree Service did an outstanding job. The crew trimmed up the treeline and removed several. Did a great job of cleanup too. Extremely professional, informative, helpful & friendly. Thanks so much to the great crew - Ron, Skip, Tim & Doug ... you were incredible. Thanks so much. I'll tell folks about you! (BTW - the guys deserve a few extra $$)
