Let's back up a good bit here.
Hi there, I'm GP with
Forest Keepers Tree Care. Daniel Murphy of
Murphy's Tree Care, I presume? Nice to meet you.
Allow me to introduce you to Forest Keepers:
We started providing quality tree care to the Cape Cod, Massachusetts area in 1997 as a group of talented, highly skilled individuals from all backgrounds in the tree care industry: climbers, loggers, and land clearing specialists. "Forest Keepers" was the name we chose, because it summed up the essence of what mankind is meant to do: keep the earth, tend it, cultivate it. One of the key founders had worked for Davey Tree as a climber doing line clearing and residential work. He is a certified arborist with over 30 years of climbing and arbor care experience, and has passed on that knowledge & wisdom to his son. His son worked directly with him, starting up a "branch" in the Colorado Springs area for about 5 years. Then he worked on the Cape Cod tree crew in Mass. for a number of years as a climber, before heading westward to start a new "branch" of the business in the Kansas City metro area.
So now Forest Keepers Tree Care is a local family owned company based in Lawrence, KS. We run the gamut, from large and hazardous removals to fine pruning of ornamentals. We specialize in climbing which enables us to access trees in any location; in fact, we don't even own a bucket truck yet! We also have years of experience in technical rigging (with our GRCS, blocks, lowering ropes, chipper winch, etc.). In many cases, trees grow in places that can be very challenging when it comes time to prune or remove them, but our climbers can access anything when a bucket truck is of no use. We have extensive knowledge and experience when it comes to high risk situations (power lines, roofs, structures, or dead & decaying trees). We tend to get the mid to high-end jobs in our area, especially challenging removals that other companies don't want to touch (dangerous, difficult, dying trees).
We have done specialty work from California to Massachusetts, and hurricane relief and storm cleanup from Florida to Michigan. We are now offering world-class arboriculture at affordable prices to the residents of Lawrence & Topeka, KS, and the greater Kansas City metro area (50 mile service radius).
My goals here are:
- To make friends with everyone here
- To glean from the wealth of knowledge and experience on this forum
- To contribute in whatever way i can
- To promote our business
So howdy, glad to meet you. Hope to keep things friendly.
P.S. In 25 years, we've never had an insurance claim. We've never done any significant property damage
(excepting the occasional minor gutter dings and fence oopsies that tend to come with this line of work) and our western branches have never had any serious injuries. Never a fatality.
