OMAHA TREE CARE COMPANY BECOMES SECOND IN NEBRASKA TO EARN ACCREDITATION
Program helps consumers find high-quality tree care companies

Arbor Aesthetics Tree Service, a residential tree care company located in Omaha, Nebraska has been accredited under a new Tree Care Company Accreditation program administered by the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) and built on the threefold foundation of ethics, quality, and consumer confidence.

The new program represents the only business practices and compliance audit process in the tree care industry. Under the process, businesses undergo extensive review of professional practices aimed at safeguarding consumers. The review includes:

► best business practices
► ethical business conduct
► formal training and certification of employees
► compliance with industry standards
► consumer satisfaction
► adherence to safety standards
► insurance coverage

TCIA Accreditation means Arbor Aesthetics adheres to all the accreditation standards and has undergone a rigorous application process. TCIA verified this by conducting an on-site audit of Arbor Aesthetics.

TCIA Accreditation for Arbor Aesthetics is in effect for a period of three years, with renewal check-ups required every year. The annual renewal ensures that the required number of certified arborists are still on staff, that the company is still properly insured and that the company has a good safety and consumer satisfaction rating. The company is re-accredited every three years.

According to TCIA president Mark Garvin, “TCIA Accreditation provides consumers a way to find tree care companies that are trustworthy in their business and tree care practices. Our TCIA Accreditation program is the only one of its kind in America and will give consumers peace of mind.”

The process of becoming accredited is no easy task, according to Amy Grewe, President. “The process is incredibly thorough. They left no stone unturned,” states Grewe. “Jeff and I are pleased that in our 15th year in business, we have finally been recognized as one of the best tree care companies around, joining only one other accredited company in Nebraska.

Garvin echoes that sentiment. “Arbor Aesthetics has made a commitment to excellence in all facets of its business. I applaud their efforts.”

15 Years of Beautiful Trees

10/5/2020

Dear Jeff,

It's been 15 years since you started Arbor Aesthetics with a handsaw, a ladder, and a borrowed pickup truck. With incredible courage, you followed a spark in your soul and abandoned the safety of your college education in pursuit of something more meaningful. The journey has not always been easy, and the growth has not always been linear, but your grit and determination have remained steadfast, and that is how your business became a "15-year overnight success."

You've proven that the American Dream is a real thing: turning passion into enterprise and creating opportunity with your own two hands. Aside from building a successful business, I am in awe of the personal growth that I've witnessed since joining Arbor Aesthetics six years ago. Day after day, you step outside of your comfort zone (and sometimes we have to push each other there), seek truth and understanding in the way you lead and show up for your people, and best of all - you drag every single one of us along with you to become a better version of ourselves. You are wise, passionate and inspiring. We are all better because of Arbor Aesthetics. Our company vision says it best: We're Better Together.

Thank you for trusting me and having me along on this journey and for going along with my crazy ideas. Thank you for being the captain of our ship.

Your wife and business partner,
Amy

12 Comments

Is it time to say goodbye to your ash tree? We are THRILLED to announce our new FREE ash tree replacement program! As the Emerald Ash Borer population ramps up over the coming years, many homeowners will choose not to treat their ash tree, and that's okay. Not every ash tree SHOULD be treated. Regardless, losing a tree is sad, and we're seizing this opportunity to increase the diversity of Omaha's community forest to enhance its ecological value and safeguard against future invasive insects and diseases.

If you plan to remove your ash tree, do it soon. Don't wait until it's dead or starts to decline. If we remove it for you, we'll replace it for FREE with your choice of eight native, locally grown species from our friends at Great Plains Nursery.

Mimosa Webworm is hitting honeylocusts again!

7/28/2020

2 Comments

Mimosa Webworm

Mimosa webworms are web-building caterpillars that infest honeylocust and mimosa trees. If you're seeing brown clusters of leaves covered in webs, and even worms coming down from the tree on strands of silk, you're seeing the season's first generation of caterpillars.

We recommend spraying NOW to address the second (often larger) generation of caterpillars that will feed into September and cause significant damage.

What trees are at risk?
Honeylocust and mimosa (the tree, not the drink).

How is it treated?
We apply an insecticidal foliar spray to the canopy of the tree at high pressure to penetrate the webs.

How can I prevent this next year?
Next year, we recommend a two-spray series: first in June to address the first generation, and second in August to address the second generation. The first spray in June is most effective, since it is applied before the webs are formed, and will also help significantly reduce the population of the second generation.

Faces of Omaha 2020

We're again honored to be included in Omaha Magazine's "Faces of Omaha." 15 years into our journey, we're still coming up with better ways to serve our clients, create a great place to work for our employees, and create a higher standard of tree care by educating our staff and clients about arboriculture.

"Trees ground us,” Arbor Aesthetics Co-founder Amy Grewe said. “Trees connect us all.”

As the 15-year-old company has branched out, its employees have all become certified arborists, a reflection of the team’s dedication to providing the best possible care to the trees that enhance the community’s urban landscapes.

“That says a lot for the kind of talent we attract and that our people take their work seriously,” Amy said.

The team’s expertise is rooted in outstanding customer service and respect for each other, founder Jeff Grewe said. “We’ve redefined our mission and vision statements and core values,” Jeff said. “In doing so, we’ve created a cohesive and harmonious culture where our employees take ownership and are encouraged to grow personally and professionally. There are a lot of choices in our industry, but at the end of the day, people want to feel good about who they interacted with. It comes down to friendly, certified, professional arborists. That’s who we are. There are a lot of tree companies out there but only Arbor Aesthetics hits all of those marks.”

BAGWORMS: Control the Destruction!

4/17/2020

14 Comments

Bagworms. Everyone’s favorite little defoliator, right? These clever moths begin life as tiny caterpillars and use the foliage of trees and shrubs to protect themselves so they can mate and create even more bagworms. They can be extremely destructive, and their cone-shaped cases oftentimes go unnoticed as "pinecones" or some other doo-dads that almost pass for something that belongs on the tree!

The Bagworm Lifecycle

This moth begins life as a tiny caterpillar (“worm”) when it hatches from its egg late May to early June. This larva and 300-1000 of its brothers and sisters emerge from the case and are so small that they generally go unnoticed, then using a strand of silk, they can catch a free ride on the wind right onto your favorite tree. As they feed on needles or leaves they begin to weave together a case, or bag, of their own from the chewed plant material. This case can help protect them from predators and temperature extremes. As they feed, the worm and the case both grow - up to 2 inches long.

Late in August the mature larvae will secure the bag to a branch and close themselves up in the case, where they pupate. Bagworms are stuck in the olden days. While the male becomes a small furry moth and flies to the females to mate, the ladies…well, they never get to venture out and die after mating. Tough life.

Can bagworms kill my trees and shrubs?

YES - Bagworms can disfigure or even kill evergreens in a hurry as they feed on needles. If you have a minor infestation of bagworms, pick off the cases and throw them away in a sealed grocery bag, place in a bucket of soapy water, or burn them if that gives you satisfaction. If your trees have more than a few however, give us a call so we can perform properly timed insecticide sprays. Remember, every case can have 300-1000 eggs, so you don’t want the population exploding from one year to the next!

What species are most at risk?

We see bagworms most commonly feeding on spruce, arborvitae, and junipers. They can also feed on deciduous trees, however that damage is not usually concerning or long lasting.

When is the best time to spray for bagworms?

Larvae are active June through August. Sprays are most effective when before the larvae are protected by their cases, so the earlier in the season, the better.

How does Arbor Aesthetics manage bagworm infestations?

Arbor Aesthetics offers a two-time foliar spray treatment of either Permethrin or Bifenthrin insecticide while the larvae are actively feeding on your trees and shrubs. We closely monitor bagworm larvae activity so the timing of the treatments is most effective. We recommend repeating this treatment annually for at least 2-3 years before re-evaluating for control.
