About Us

TOMMY FITZGERALD

Tommy Fitzgerald, Arborist/President

ISA Certified Arborist.

Tommy’s love of the outdoors was evident at an early age – he could always be found exploring the “wilderness” of his neighborhood and his backyard. His career began to shape during his years in college at WVU and living in Alaska's Denali National Park during the summer where he worked as an Environmental Intern to ensure top quality maintenance of the park.

After graduating his experience and technical skills were solidified during his tenure with highly endorsed, local companies such as Ruppert Nurseries and Bartlett Tree Experts before branching out on his own.
