A Message From Christie

“I started my career with trees quite by accident. I was a High-end Residential Landscaper in 2007 when the historic drought hit the Metro Atlanta area. This devastated the Landscape Industry, and my job, along with about 18,000 others in the Georgia Green Industry was greatly in question. No one plants when you can’t water the poor guys. Just as the poor plants were recovering the economic disaster of 2008 hit. I decided that I needed to do something FAST so I applied for, and passed my ISA certification.

I was an Arborist with no “tree” skills. I knew the turf, plants, shrubs. I knew how to set every irrigation clock for every client, how to plant trees, how to run crews, but I really did not know much about trees. Well, I started getting involved and met my first “Tree” boss at a tree planting event and that is where my new life began. I went to work for a large tree service company in the North Atlanta area.

With 8 years of tree assessments, estimates and tons of removals I am now offering my services as a Consulting Arborist. I have loved all that I got to do and see over the last 8 years as a Sales Arborist, however, it is time for me to “speak for the trees”. I already work with a ton of home builders and large developers writing prescriptions on individual trees and teaching them how to preserve trees. I want to expand both my client base and the projects on which I work. I loved my time in peoples yards, with their dogs, talking to them about trees, and I want to continue to do homeowner consults, real estate due diligence inspections, and hazard tree risk assessments.”
