Services
Certified Arborists, dedicated to the highest quality of service and the advancement of arboriculture.
Limbwalker knows the importance of your trees. Taking care of your trees makes your property safer, adds value, and prolongs the life of the tree.
Mature trees pay dividends by increasing property values, beautifying our surroundings, purifying our air, mediating water runoff, and saving energy by providing cooling shade from the summer heat and buffering the harsh winter winds. Poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability, not to mention an eyesore.

Pruning
Proper pruning is essential in establishing and maintaining a tree with a strong structure and a desirable form. Trees that receive the appropriate attention while they are young will require less corrective pruning as they mature. Pruning must be done with an understanding of how the tree responds to each cut. Improper pruning can cause irreparable damage that will last for the life of the tree, or worse, shorten the tree’s life. Our Certified Arborists are knowledgeable in both the art and science of pruning, and will work to meet your needs and maintain your tree’s health.
Removals
When tree removal is necessary, our team of Certified Arborists are highly skilled in the controlled removal of all sizes of trees. Every tree presents a different challenge based on size, species, and location. At Limbwalker, we use skillful climbing and compact power equipment to safely remove large trees from small places. Where conditions permit, we can also provide crane service. Our estimates for removal include the removal of all brush and debris from your yard.
Stump Grinding
Stump removal is an additional service that we offer. The main stump and buttress roots are ground to an average depth of 15”. The result is a mound of soil and wood shavings that we backfill into the depression. We can remove grindings and replace them with soil, grass seed, and straw for an additional charge.
Planting / Transplanting
Correct planting is critical to the future health of your tree, and will reduce future problems and costs. Planting depth, nursery stock quality, and soil and hole preparation are all key to your tree’s establishment in it’s new location. Our Certified Arborists are able to suggest a wide variety of trees appropriate for your specific site, and will help you select the right tree for the right place. Our nursery stock is of exceptional quality and is locally grown.
Storm Damage / Emergencies
Emergency removals and pruning require a quick response and good coordination between our office and crews and the homeowners in need. We respond to emergency situations based on the severity of risk/damage posed by the tree and the client’s status with Limbwalker. Please call our office at 502.634.0400 to request emergency service.
Plant Health Care (PHC)
Plant Health Care (PHC) is the next step in preventative measures, beyond our preservation pruning and bracing services. Our PHC program involves annual monitoring, using preventive treatments, and a strong emphasis on working closely with you, the property owner.
The objective of Limbwalker’s PHC program is to maintain and improve your landscape’s appearance, vitality, and safety, using the most effective and environmentally responsible treatments available.
Pest and Disease Protection
Some pests and diseases that attack trees can be eliminated. In 2009, it was announced that the Emerald Ash Borer had made its way into Kentucky. This highly destructive, invasive beetle from Asia destroys Ash trees. Preventing infestation is key to the survival of your ash tree(s). Unaffected trees can be safely treated and protected from this harmful beetle. Please call our office at 502.634.0400 to
request prevention service.
Soil Management
Your trees are only as healthy as the soil they’re growing in. Many health concerns, such as nutrient deficiencies or girdling roots, begin with the nature of the soil. Proper soil pH, air content, texture, and general soil quality all contribute to your tree’s well being. Many companies offer only liquid fertilization, which doesn’t address soil health. We employ a variety of services to address your tree’s specific needs.
We use an Air Knife, a diagnostic and remedial tool, to safely excavate the soil surrounding a tree without damaging the roots. This gives us the opportunity to help a tree that was planted too deep, has girdling (choking) roots, or to relieve soil compaction by aerating the soil and amending the soil with organic compost.
Cabling/Bracing
Cabling and bracing is the use of hardware to support structural deficiencies in your tree. This practice can extend the safe life of questionable trees in your landscape. At Limbwalker, we employ steel cables, rods, or non-invasive cabling systems with a corrective pruning regimen to limit the likelihood of stem failure.
Lightning Protection
Lightning protection is a service that we offer for specimen trees. Lightning protection is the installation of continuous copper hardware, extending from the tips of the branches to ground rods sunk 8” below the soil surface. The price of copper varies, therefore lightening protection is not necessarily appropriate for all trees. Very special trees, however, may warrant this extra level of protection. Contact us for details.
Firewood
We split only those mixed hardwoods that exceed 20 million British Thermal Units (BTUs). We cut 16” lengths and sell by the face cord (rick, 1/3 cord) or cord. A cord dimension is 4 x 8 x 4, and contains at least 90 ft3 of wood. Seasoned or green wood is available for pick-up or delivery. We sell a premium product and can separate by species for specialty uses.
Please call our office for current pricing at (502) 634.0400
Art
Many clients want a memento of their tree that was removed. We have several clients who choose to have wooden bowls, benches, etc. constructed to commemorate their tree. Contact us to arrange this service.
