Our passion for trees and our commitment to treating our customers the right way have helped the company grow from the ground up.

The knowledgeable Distinctive Tree Care team prides itself on its professional, efficient and trustworthy approach to tree care.

Distinctive Tree Care removes hazardous and unwanted trees from your property after a thorough tree evaluation. Safety and efficiency are hallmarks of our work, and our licensed arborists will use one or more methods to precisely fell a tree. Some trees can only be accessed by climbing them, especially if it's an overgrown or dangerous tree hanging over a house. Our expert arborists climb the tree and lower it safely in small pieces. Our bucket trucks are highly versatile and able to reach trees in virtually every area of your property.

Distinctive Tree Care professionals are accredited members of the Connecticut Nursery and Landscape Association, among several other industry organizations. We plant hundreds of trees and hedges every year, whether it's to replace a tree we removed or to add greenery to a commercial plaza, condominium complex or new home. We can help you select and plant the right tree in the right place based on your property's layout and the time of year. We buy all of our trees from local, reputable wholesale nurseries and provide a one-year guarantee on all trees that we plant.

After we take down a tree and cut the stump low, we recommend stump grinding as the most efficient and cost-effective method of removing the stump. We survey the area to ensure there are no underground obstacles, such as utilities, sprinkler systems or dog fencing. Then we use modern equipment to quickly reduce the stump to a pile of soil and woodchips, and we recommend grinding the root flare and trace roots, as well. We use a small loader to remove woodchips from the work area so that the space can be repurposed.

Healthy, nutrient-rich soil is the lifeblood of your trees and shrubs. Our licensed professionals will analyze your property to ensure that your soil contains enough nutrients to sustain your trees. By analyzing your soil's pH balance, which measures acidity, we can determine what type of fertilizer will maximize your soil's growing potential. Different soil conditions call for different fertilization strategies. Fertilization is a vital part of your trees health because nutrient deficiencies in the soil can lead to more serious problems.

We can safely remove or prune problem limbs while improving the safety and value of your property. All debris will be removed and the area will be raked and blown clean. Distinctive Tree Care in CT provides tree pruning services throughout the Greater Hartford area including South Windsor, Glastonbury, Tolland, Manchester, Vernon, Enfield, Windsor, Somers, Ellington, West Hartford, Farmington, Simsbury, Canton and beyond.
