Institutional Tree Care in Central Arkansas

 Preserving and protecting what matters through expert tree care, on the grounds where your community gathers.

ANSI A300 & Z133 Standards

Forestry Council Board of Directors

The trees on a campus, a church lawn, or a city park often outlive the people who planted them. They shade playgrounds, frame historic buildings, and mark memorials. They also stand over students, congregations, patients, and the public every day. Caring for them is a matter of safety and of stewardship.

Treegorilla provides institutional tree care for schools, churches, parks, municipalities, and public grounds across Central Arkansas. Our work is led by Chad Bryant, the only Board Certified Master Arborist in Central Arkansas and one of just four in the state. We bring the same preservation-focused approach to public grounds that we bring to every property: protect the trees worth keeping, and address real hazards before they become emergencies.

Why Institutions Choose a Preservation-Focused Arborist

Our niche is preservation-focused arboriculture for clients who value safety, stewardship, and the long-term health of their trees. Institutions are a natural fit. Your trees are shared assets with a long horizon, and decisions about them are made by boards, committees, and budget cycles rather than a single homeowner.

That calls for an arborist who can explain the why behind every recommendation, document conditions clearly, and plan work in phases. It also calls for crews who understand that work happens around people, from school drop-off lines to Sunday services to public events.

Tree Risk Assessments and Arborist Consultations

Public grounds carry public responsibility. A professional assessment identifies trees with structural defects, decay, or declining health near walkways, playgrounds, parking areas, and buildings. You get clear findings and prioritized recommendations you can share with your board or facilities team

Long-Term Tree Care Planning

Instead of reacting to one problem tree at a time, we help you plan care across your grounds. Our itemized proposals separate included, recommended, and optional work, so you can schedule priorities now and budget the rest for future years.

Preservation and Structural Pruning

We prune to ANSI A300 standards to improve structure, reduce risk, and keep heritage trees healthy for the next generation. That includes deadwood removal over public areas and clearance for buildings, walkways, and sightlines.

Plant Health Care, Soil, and Root Care

Foot traffic, mowing, and paving compact soil and starve roots, especially around older trees on busy grounds. Our plant health care and soil and root care programs restore growing conditions and treat problems early, before decline becomes removal.

Construction and Renovation Tree Protection

New buildings, additions, parking expansions, and utility work can quietly kill mature trees years after the project ends. We help plan around significant trees before design is final and protect root zones during construction.

Safe Tree Removal

When a tree is dead, failing, or beyond saving, we remove it carefully under ANSI Z133 safety requirements, with the work zone controlled around students, staff, and visitors

24/7 Storm and Emergency Response

Storm damage on public grounds can close a school, a road, or a park. We respond to emergency calls 24 hours a day at
