Our Journey
__
My passion for trees and plants began early. In 2009, I joined Tree Toppers as a ground crew member. Where I learned tree care from the ground up—both literally and figuratively. This hands-on experience was crucial to developing my skills. By 2012, I had earned my ISA Certified Arborist® credential and launched Douglas Tree Service.
Before starting my own company, I noticed trees being damaged by poor pruning practices. Especially by crews like Asplundh who performed powerline maintenance. I realized that trees deserved better care, and clients deserved a tree service they could trust. Douglas Tree Service was born from this belief, quality tree care requires both passion and expertise.
We initially called ourselves “Douglas Tree & Property Service,” intending to offer a variety of services. Nevertheless, as we honed our skills and specialized in tree care, “Douglas Tree Service” became synonymous with professional tree care in Lancaster County.
Why Hiring a Certified Arborist® Matters
When it comes to tree care, not all services are created equal. As an ISA Certified Arborist®, I have undergone rigorous training and met industry standards that set us apart from ordinary tree service providers. Our certification ensures we use the latest techniques, follow safety standards, and provide scientifically backed care to keep your trees healthy and thriving.
Why does this matter for you? Hiring a certified arborist means your trees will be cared for by an expert who understands their biology and knows how to maintain them in a way that promotes long-term health and beauty. Whether it’s a routine prune or a complex removal, rest assured that we approach every task with precision and care.

Why Tree Care Matters
Imagine your yard as a lush, green oasis, where healthy trees stand tall, providing shade and beauty for years to come. That’s the vision we bring to life. Healthy, well-maintained trees not only enhance your landscape but also provide environmental benefits such as cleaner air, reduced soil erosion, and increased property value. On the other hand, neglecting tree care can result in costly problems, including damage from fallen branches, pest infestations, or even tree death.
Commitment to Safety Protocols
Tree care can be dangerous work, which is why safety is our top priority. We follow strict safety protocols, use the latest equipment, and ensure that every team member is equipped with the necessary protective gear. With Douglas Tree Service, you can rest assured that every project will be completed safely and efficiently.
