A Heartfelt Thank You

As many of you know, the Caldwell family experienced a tragic house fire in the middle of the night last week. Fortunately, no one was injured.

The outpouring of support has been tremendous.

We would like to thank all of our neighbors, customers, employees, friends, and family for helping us regroup during this past week.

The Roswell Fire Department, led by Fire Chief Ricky Spencer, was there in minutes. Fire Marshall Paul Piccirilli has been particularly helpful as we’ve work through the recovery process.

And, an extra call out to Fireman Chris, who only the week before, was visiting Sweet Apple Elementary and talking about fire safety to our children. Fortunately, their reactions when we all awoke were the correct ones.

And, finally, many thanks to our insurance agent Pete Protis at USAA, who has been an amazing source of strength.

The Caldwell Tree Care team remains on the job, working hard, and ready to serve your tree and plant health care needs.

Happy Earth Day

In addition to being Good Friday, today is Earth Day – a day for us all to consider our stewardship of the natural environment. At Caldwell Tree Care, we work hard to care and maintain our environment.

In this spirit, we’ve added two video’s featuring pruning work on some beautiful Willow Oak and Red Maple trees in the North Atlanta area. Let us know what you think, and please call if we can be of service.

Happy Earth Day.

Congratulations to new TCIA Officers

The Tree Care Industry Association is an important advocacy and education group for all involved in the green industry, and an organization we have supported for many years. Last year, our president Kevin Caldwell served as a Senior Director, and was just elected Vice Chairman during the Winter Management Conference.

The new Chairman is our friend Scott Jamieson, of Bartlett Tree Experts. Kevin captured his inaugural address, and we’ve posted it here to encourage all those in the green industry to join Scott, myself and the entire TCIA membership and staff as we grow and improve our industry. And be sure to follow Scott on Twitter @ChicagoTreeMD

And here is part 2 of his talk.

Our trees get infected too!

Despite preventive measures, sometimes our trees get infected too. Kevin Caldwell talks about a Cercospora infection on a Cryptomeria in front of our office. If you have this problem, give us a call and we’ll have an Arborist diagnose and treat the infection.
