In 2025, Wachtel Tree Science celebrates a significant milestone: our 90th anniversary! Since 1935, we have been dedicated to keeping trees healthy and beautiful, a mission inspired by our founder Larry Wachtel’s passion for scientific tree care.
Looking back, we are honored to have helped countless clients achieve their tree care goals. The knowledge that we continue to enhance our clients’ lives by ensuring their trees are healthy and beautiful motivates us every day.
Over the years, we have embraced innovations in tree care, continually learning and growing alongside our industry. The walls of our office feature several black and white photos honoring the early days of Wachtel Tree Science. Some of these photos show past employees performing outdated treatments which are no longer practiced, such as cavity filling, reminding us how far our understanding of trees has evolved. Today, we embrace advanced treatment options to address specific insect and fungal issues, enabling us to maintain tree health using more eco-friendly methods.
Our dedicated staff is committed to meeting your needs. By continuously improving our skills and knowledge, we are better equipped to provide the exceptional tree care you expect. Adhering to the highest safety standards in all our operations ensures the protection of both our team and your property.
Looking ahead, you can continue to expect the high quality and standards of care you have come to recognize from Wachtel Tree Science. We will monitor current and future issues affecting the trees in this area, helping you make informed decisions for your trees. Thank you for allowing us to be your trusted partner and steward for your trees and your yard!
