About The Arbor Doctor

Arbor Doctor LLC is a full service tree and shrub care company. We specialize in the care, treatment, preservation, and installation of woody landscape plants using the most innovative methodologies and up to date information. We are different from most other companies in that we are a business which passionately strives to be on the cutting edge of constantly evolving research and technology. It is not acceptable to come out and spray shrubs on a calendar basis. Today's Plant Health Care practitioner must combine a knowledge of the entire ecosystem and the interactions therein in order to provide a service which is both valuable and environmentally sensitive.

I grew up hiking trails in Cincinnati area parks and Kentucky’s Red River Gorge. Old growth beech forests in Caldwell Park. Hemlock and rhododendron forests in eastern Kentucky. Trees hold a significant place in my memories. They are part of our heritage. They connect us to our past, our present, and our future.

I once heard it said that one is truly blessed when he can turn his passion into his profession. I have a passion for the wise stewardship of our natural world and the trees and shrubs with which we surround ourselves. I pledge to do my best to care for your trees and shrubs as if they were my own.
-- Ronald Rothhaas

WHY TREES MATTER. OSU Extension's "Why Trees Matter" signature program focuses on the environmental, economic and social benefits of trees. Check out the "Why Trees Matter" website at: [ http://treesmatter.osu.edu ]. "Why Trees Matter"…count the ways:

*Trees are cool. Walk down a street with shade trees, it's 5-15 degrees cooler than if there are no trees. Trees also help save energy by cooling houses and reduce air conditioning costs in summer from 15-35%.

*Trees are hot. Winter winds leak cold air into homes. Trees blocking that wind, including evergreens, can save on heating costs by 20% or more.

*Trees are tasty. Apples, peaches, pears, oh my. All grow on trees. So do cocoa pods; they grow on a tree in the tropics known as Theobroma cacao. This Latin name translates to "Food of the gods," and that seems about right considering those cocoa pods are converted to chocolate.

*OSU Buckeyes. And buckeyes are trees! Ohio's state tree is the Ohio buckeye, this is the Buckeye State, and OSU's sports teams are the Buckeyes. How many sports teams can say they are named for trees? The Buckeyes are one; another is the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team, are there more?

*The food chain starts with trees (and other plants). Plant leaves harvest energy from the sun, and with water and carbon dioxide make sugar which feeds the rest of the tree, as well as people. People eat plants or animals that ate plants or animals that ate other animals that ate plants. The food chain starts with plants.

*Money grows on trees. Nurseries, landscapers, garden centers, arborists and other green industry companies in Ohio employ over 200,000 Ohioans and provide over $10 billion dollars to Ohio's economy. That is billion with a "b." Not to mention money is made from paper and after all paper comes from trees!
