Ken Nelson founded Nelson Tree Service-'The Cure for Trees', Inc in 1992 after working in utility line clearance. He found that the practice of just cutting trees was not enough, but there was a way to trim a tree so as not to promote unwanted growth, and not harm the tree. His passion fueled his desire to become a Certified Arborist, and he quickly grew a customer base from his side work that justified starting his own company. Nelson Tree Service-'The Cure for Trees' is still a family owned business, and the commitment is still in proper tree care practices. We are continuously striving to serve our customers in all aspects of tree care, and always look for new and better ways to do so.
