We have been caring for the Shoreline’s forests for more than two decades. We share a personal connection to many of the trees we work with and often revisit them as you would an old friend. It is our mission to help you manage and care for the trees on your property while enhancing their natural beauty.
Why Call Family Tree Care?
- SAFETY – Our job is inherently high risk. We work at heights with heavy weights and large forces! Plus, the trees we work with are not rated for strength or tested by teams of engineers. Committing ourselves to safety means that we keep up with advanced techniques and safe work practices so that we can reduce risk. At Family Tree Care we are committed to holding safety as a priority day in and day out.
- QUALITY – The quality of our work is very important to us. We strive to care for our clients property as if it were our own. Sometimes we have to use mats to protect the lawn, tread carefully to avoid a garden bed, or take time to blow leaves from the gutters. Everyone appreciates a good cleanup and we deliver!
- STEWARDSHIP – We feel that as Connecticut licensed arborists and tree lovers it is our responsibility to help balance our client’s needs with those of the trees. We don’t mindlessly remove trees and we prune with intention. We use our expert knowledge to build our client’s understanding of their landscape with the goal of maintaining a beautiful property.
- SERVICE – We have been a part of the communal fabric in Guilford Connecticut since 1996 and feel a strong impulse to give back. We frequently donate time to historic properties around town, helping to maintain their significant trees. The Dudley Farm and the Meadad Stone House are two of our favorite landmark properties in Guilford.
- SUSTAINABILITY – At Family Tree Care we are committed to conducting business in a sustainable way. We acknowledge the impact humans are having on our natural world and it is our goal to operate with the lowest possible environmental impact.

These guys are real experts. First they offer good advice, then they work quickly and with great skill. Cleanup was swift and efficient in spite of heavy rain. They really love trees and want to keep them healthy, rather than just cutting them down. Good to work with.

The team from Family Tree were professional, knowledgeable, and thorough from the initial phone call, through the final cleanup after the work was completed. I had several dangerous trees taken down with a precision that was really impressive. I would highly recommend them, and plan to use them again.

David, the owner, showed up very quickly after I reached out. He advised and provided a reasonable estimate. The crew, Jake, Robert, and Joe were outstanding...meticulous and careful. Everyone was friendly. They showed up as scheduled, introduced themselves, and went over what was needed. you can tell Family Tree Care has experience and wants to make their customers happy. I recommend the company.

The best we've used and so we'll use them again. The work was completed to the very highest standard. Two very large, dead ash trees were brought down and cut into 18" rounds for fire wood. The wood was piled neatly - and quite meticulously - and all the brush and mess was removed, leaving our yard spotless. First class from beginning to end.

We have used Family Tree Care several times over the years. In addition to being reliable, efficient and safe, they are respectful of our property. Also, I rely on their expertise and advice as we make decisions on what needs to be done -- or not done, if it isn't necessary -- to keep our the trees around our property healthy and safe in reference to our house. I strongly recommend them.
