We wish Hugh a happy retirement in 2025.

Hugh brings a wealth of experience and practical working knowledge to our company and clients. His horticultural training started sophomore year in high school when he entered a horticultural program. 

“By the end of the year, I never looked back. Senior year I was able to participate in a co-op, pruning orchards and by the end of it – I knew what I was doing …trees!”  

Working with clients to design and implement pruning and Plant Health Care programs, Hugh is a true “people person”. He brings genuine enthusiasm and passion for proper tree care to his clients’ properties every day.

Hugh’s Bachelor of Science degree in horticulture is from Penn State University and he is an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist. His professional experience includes service as the Arborist Foreman at Longwood Gardens where he was responsible for safety and care of all trees on the grounds and climbing and plant health care crews. 

Hugh resides in Elizabethtown with his wife Louise and has two children, Max and Mary. 

His hobbies include: sailing, running and open water swimming. His latest adventures include swimming around Manhattan on a relay team and a solo swim around the Statue of Liberty.
