Preserving the trees of the Bluegrass is central to our company mission. The majority of our services - from tree pruning to pest management to soil improvement - all play a key role in preserving and enhancing the health of trees that are suffering from a variety of ailments. A few specific categories of work that we perform, however, are directly related to whether or not a tree is preserved, allowing it to be enjoyed by future generations. Important tree-related decisions during development and construction can have a significant impact on the success of any project.
Dave Leonard Tree Specialists is proud to present a natural, low maintenance system for a beautiful and safe lawn. Our Organic and Transitional lawn care programs are much more than a simple switch from chemical and synthetic products to organic products. In the realm of land care, "organic" means that we are focusing on creating healthy, living soil that will make your lawn and landscape healthier and more self-sustaining. Our systems are grounded in a knowledge-based and time-tested approach to plant health care which was popular before chemical applications were common.
Tree Trimming (referred to by Arborists as Tree Pruning), generally refers to the removal of specific problematic branches from a tree. Pruning by Dave Leonard Tree Specialists is conducted in a targeted and detailed manner in order to increase the health, appearance, and safety of the tree. Pruning is the most common tree management procedure, and is both an art and a science, bringing multiple tree health and aesthetic benefits when done properly. To guarantee that your trees are pruned to the highest standards, we require that each of our employees be trained in proper pruning techniques and that they are knowledgeable in tree biology.

We own and utilize an Effer 655 articulating crane in the course of business to assist with the safe and efficient removal of hazardous trees. The Effer 655 is a European-made knuckle-boom style crane that is equivalent to a 38-40 ton stick crane. It has 126' of total reach with 11 hydraulic extensions and 2 manual extensions that will lift loads as needed directly to their landing spot. This crane is available for rental with a crane operator to assist with construction projects, commercial hvac projects and industry related projects.
We value trees and strive to protect their health and vigor whenever possible. The reality, however, is that dead, dying, storm-damaged or diseased trees may have weakened structures that could pose a threat to you, your home, and your property. Much of old Lexington has an aging population of large Pin oaks and other trees that are widely declining and dying. When a tree removal is warranted, Dave Leonard Tree Specialists has the best personnel and specialized equipment to complete your job safely, efficiently, and with minimal disturbance to your property.
