Our Philosophy

Our trucks aren’t new, and our first uniforms were handmade.

As we have grown, we have made the conscious decision to remain loyal to our craftsmanship roots. We still run a single crew and employ a human labor-intensive approach rather than relying on flashy equipment.

We believe that stewardship is both a science and an art, and that best practice is to listen to the trees and the stories the land tells.
