The Science and Art of Tree Care
Holistic Tree Care for Franklin and Hampshire County, MA
Meet Andrew
Andrew Young is an ISA certified Arborist who has been successfully running The Whole Tree, a holistic tree care service, since 2006. He graduated from Mitchell College in 1993 with an Associate's Degree after which he worked as an arborist and landscape foreman for several companies before deciding to start his own business. His passion for educating his clients on tree health and his commitment to safety and thoroughness in his work sets him apart from other tree service providers.
Since learning how to prune fruit trees from his grandfather when he was 12, he has never been able to quench his thirst for learning about trees and how we relate to them as caretakers. As a father of three, Andrew is very conscientious when it comes to the work he does, insisting on safety above efficiency. As an active member of his community and a volunteer on his Conservation Commission, he knows very well the importance of protecting the relationship between our built environment and the dynamic landscape that it is built in. Andrew also spends his time polishing local stones and making jewelry.
