Our Services
We offer a boutique approach to arboriculture and land stewardship. From tree preservation and orchard care to ornamental pruning, soil health, ecological restoration, and consulting, our work is rooted in regenerative principles. Whether it’s a single tree, a heritage orchard, or a stretch of woodland, we provide thoughtful, long-term care that strengthens resilience.
Tree preservation
We focus on thoughtful, ground-based pruning to improve structure, safety, and longevity. As ISA Certified Arborists, we provide risk assessments and preservation planning that protect trees without unnecessary removals.
Orchard & Ornamental Care
From heritage orchards to specimen shrubs and small trees, we specialize in pruning that enhances health, productivity, and form. Our ornamental care brings out the beauty of the landscape while keeping plants resilient.
Soil Health & Plant Care
Healthy trees and landscapes start with healthy soil. We evaluate root zones, address compaction, and apply organic treatments such as compost teas and natural amendments. These methods restore soil life and strengthen plants from the ground up.
Ecological Land Services
Our work extends beyond individual trees to the surrounding land. We provide invasive species management, ecological restoration, and trail building that balance human access with ecological health.
Consulting & Stewardship Plans
Understory offers consulting for homeowners, landowners, and towns. We develop tailored stewardship plans, provide expert advice on tree and land care, and help clients make informed, science-based decisions for the long term.
