TC CONNER: AT-HEIGHT TREE CARE SPECIALIST

I’ve been in trees all my life, but my career in the tree world started at the U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC. As a land sports guide, I managed risk at height for our adventure-seeking guests. After moving to the High Country in 2014, I continued building my skills at height as a Rock Climbing and Zipline Guide. I then sharpened those skills when I joined a professional construction team tasked with building High Ropes Courses and Ziplines around the country.

My journey into arboriculture began with horse logging and forestry management while studying Sustainable Development at Appalachian State University. An invitation to assist an arborist friend led me into an area of arboriculture requiring the highest level of precision and attention to detail. This experience opened my eyes to the difference I could make in arboriculture here in the High Country.

THE NEW LEAF ARBOR CARE DIFFERENCE

I started New Leaf Arbor Care to bring a personal level of care to arboriculture and professionalism to its customer service. As a fully insured arborist company, the NLAC team prides itself on following the best management practices set by industry leaders and time-tested traditions of arboriculture. 

PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL APPROACH TO TREE CARE

As owner and operator of New Leaf Arbor Care, I’m afforded the opportunity to handle every job personally from start to finish. While the fate of a tree is ultimately in the hands of its owner, I approach every job with three things in mind:

  1. The needs of the client

  2. The needs of the tree, and

  3. The needs of the local ecology

I ensure each customer receives a comprehensive treatment plan, on-time estimates, and clear communication every step of the way. I take pride in working with customers to preserve the trees we can while mitigating the risk of those that pose a significant threat to life and property.
