Trout Brook Landscaping and Tree Service

Is your landscape healthy? Are your trees safe? How would you know? What are most important and crucial things you need to know as a homeowner in West Hartford?

In an arborist consult, we will cover crucial information on plant and soil types, tree diseases, and common Connecticut tree issues.

As a trained arborist, and a Connecticut resident for 30 years, I know more than the trees, I know the soil and the land they grow on.

Wintertime Tree Service...

Winter dormancy allows for the least impact on tree health from pruning.

1) The stored energy of the tree has migrated from the branches down to the roots, therefore trees suffer less from losing branches in winter.

2) Tree diseases are inactive in the winter, so pruning cuts don't get infected until spring when the immune reponse is strongest.

3) Frozen ground is also less susceptible to damage from equipment.

We offer bundled discounts for a full day tree work in winter.

Our high tech equipment can go where others can't.

The story of the business starts ten years ago, when I borrowed a small pickup truck for a season and started mowing lawns. In 2011 we had an late fall ice storm and I was introduced to tree damage and the tree business. I saw potential and decided to get the arborist license. We ramped up tree service knowledge and capabilities to todays fully equipped . Now, I want to share a little more of who we are at Trout Brook Landscaping. Follow me for a few more words and we might understand each other better.

Connecticut is my Home My parents moved to West Hartford when my father's job transferred from Boston in 1988. My mother soon found a position as a school social worker. I attended Bugbee elementary, King Phillip Middle and then Hall High School, graduating in 2002. I spent a lot of time in the Boy Scouts, attending weekly meetings, campouts, teaching workshops, leading other boys,and eventualy attaining the rank of Eagle Scout. I always relished the competition, comradery and discipline of team activities and endurance sports, like cross country running and soccer. I was fortunate to have many intellectual friends and teachers in all these activities which is how I developed the critical thinking skills that now help shape the vision of the company.

What's in a Name Most days, as a boy I would bring my dog down by trout brook park, letting the dog off-leash stopping to smell along the forest paths, startling the wildlife while I was climbing trees. The little forested slices of West Hartford were my playground for observing nature and daydreaming. My enjoyment of the town's green spaces and green corridors is the reason why I named my business "Trout Brook Landscaping"

I've always felt a strong connection and sense of discovery in Nature. Today, I have the good fortune to study nature for profit. Inspired by the miracle of wholistic "living systems" biology, I want everyone to discover nature's secrets.

'Living Soil' As a Worldview: Let's explore some background on the miracles of nature. The tiny microbial beings in the earth's topsoil are in a constant state of flow, change and interdependance. Tiny living fungus and microbes in the soil cooperate and share food with the roots of trees. Trees live in a dynamic environment of "just in time inventory" trading of nutrients and trace minerals. Their relationships with microbes are known as "symbiotic."

This symbiotic view of "living soil" brings us to a new way of looking at health. The opposite of health is disease. "Disease" is merely two words put together "dis - ease." A community of organisms is sick when it has dis - ease.

Understanding nature as inter-dependant organisms such as "Gut Flora" in the human stomach , helps us to understand how important microbes are (in this case for digesing food) Trees also depend on root fungi and bacteria in "living soil" to break down their food into absorbable nutrients. When root systems are disturbed (pesticides or herbicides, or digging), the microbes suffer and Disease in the system starts to develop

Relationships of interdependence exist in human society the same way Interfering with free and transparent market systems brings about symptoms of dis-ease like civil unrest and poverty. Wholistic systems approaches are hopeful ways of viewing the world as a self sustaining, interdependent system.

"Andrew and his team at Trout Brook Landscaping have been working at our house in West Hartford for the past two years. We've used them for gutter cleaning, spring and fall leaf cleanup, mulching, and plant bed work...and recently we had Andrew supervise removal of 14 trees including a very large pine that was threatening to fall on the house. I have been very pleased with the quality of their work...Andrew is responsive, listens to what we want to do, and gets it done quickly at a reasonable price."
