Nora Lindqvist started Old Growth after a decade on municipal tree crews, where she saw healthy trees removed because nobody took the time to prune them properly.
Today the company runs three crews, each led by a certified arborist, and the rule has not changed: save the tree when it is safe to, and say so plainly when it is not.
Removal is the last option, not the easiest invoice.
A fixed price per tree in writing before anyone starts a saw.
Mats down, wood lowered on ropes and every twig raked up.
That is why we take the time to prune it properly instead.
