A new chapter

TreesDONE began with a single Isuzu truck and a 12in vermeer chipper. Since that time we have grown our fleet to three vehicles and a staff of five enthusiastic arboriculturists.

We pride ourselves in investing in only the best gear. We use and recommend Stihl chainsaws, trimmers and polesaws. Our most recent investments include a Toyota 4×4 Dyna to access harder terrain, a brand new Bandit 12in chipper and a 2016 Vermeer stump grinder.
