Engaged · tree-care specialist · call for arboriculture work

Recovered from PDF receipt OCR (vision API skipped PDFs, so this took a manual receipt-read to surface). Engaged August 2025 for $1,500 Beech Leaf Disease macro-injection treatment on Trees #1, 5, 6 at the New Hope property. 40 years in business (since 1985) — rare tenure signal in the trades. Real invoice format (numbered, professional, paid-in-full receipt), real domain, real address. The tree-care specialist slot in the garden-maintenance cohort now has a vetted incumbent. Worth calling first for any future arboriculture work (pruning, pest treatment, removal, planting).

Specialty
Arborists / tree-care specialists · Dan-confirmed framing: this is a specialist tree-care firm, not a generic landscape company. Discovery channel: ChatGPT recommended them when Dan was searching for a fix to the "black beetle" problem on the New Hope beech trees. Per their invoice the actual diagnosis was Beech Leaf Disease (caused by the Litylenchus crenatae mccannii nematode, not a beetle — but the early-conversation framing came in via the beetle search and they landed on the correct treatment).
Discovery channel
ChatGPT recommendation — Dan searched for help with what he described as a "black beetle" affecting the beech trees; ChatGPT surfaced Willow Tree as a local arborist specialist who treats this kind of beech tree disease. Worth remembering as a contractor-discovery pattern: AI-assisted symptom-to-specialist lookup, especially for niche tree pathologies where the right vendor isn't obvious from a generic search.
Services demonstrated
Tree-pest / pathology treatment via macro-injection (Beech Leaf Disease nematode treatment, 90-95% effectiveness, 2-year cycle). Implied broader scope per company name: pruning, removal, planting, landscape services. BBB profile + ISA Certified Arborist credentials TBD on next call.
