About Us

Sterling Daniel, owner and operator grew up in Vermont’s Green Mountains. His family home  is surrounded by Woodlands from which his family harvests the wood needed to warm their home during the long Vermont winters. Homesteading is a way of life-  which meant/ means  cutting trees, splitting and stacking 10 cords of wood as well as pruning and maintaining the family orchard of various fruit trees. Since childhood he accompanied the menfolk to cut down the annual Christmas tree-trudging through the deep snow till they found and felled the perfect one. Then he hitched a ride, nestled in the large evergreen boughs of the tree itself while his father and older brother dragged the tree home. Imagine the surprise when at the tender age of nine he espied a small chainsaw under the tree! He was now old enough to officially join the men in the land management, culling diseased trees, climbing high to prune unsightly branches  and surveying the land vis-a-vis the work to be done to maintain and safeguard the health, safety and aesthetics of the property.

He has been climbing ever since. His passion for trees knew/knows no bounds as he continued and continues still to learn more about the biology and growth patterns and behavior of trees. Investing in the best tools to do the best job and always learning the latest techniques to add to his ‘tried and true’ methods. As a creative thinker and problem solver Sterling J. Daniel’s on site evaluations and assessments are invaluable. They will guide you, the client, in your decision as to whether the tree needs removing , pruning or nourishment. His respect for both the tree and the natural habitat as well as you, the client, guides him in his assessment. He will also assist you in establishing a regular maintenance program, assuring the Arbor job will be  done correctly.
