Walker Tree Care

What Walker Tree Care does

Walker Tree Care Inc. is a Certified Woman-Owned, privately held tree care services company headquartered in Chittenango, New York, operating since approximately 1992. The company provides residential and commercial tree removal, trimming, pruning, stump grinding, cabling, root collar excavation, lot clearing, and emergency storm damage cleanup, alongside an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) service line covering inspection, diagnosis, and treatment for pests such as Emerald Ash Borer, Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, and Spotted Lanternfly. Operations follow ANSI Z133 safety and ANSI A300 pruning standards, with field crews trained in climbing, aerial safety, aerial rescue, and first aid; the firm also holds TCIA accreditation and NYS DEC pesticide applicator licenses.

The company's customer base spans individual residential property owners (primary), commercial properties, utility companies, and government/community entities (municipalities, HOAs, state parks, school districts). Distribution is direct: free on-site estimates, project-based engagement, and field crews deployed to job sites within a six-community Central New York service area (Cazenovia, Canastota, Manlius, Jamesville, Dewitt, and surrounding communities). Revenue derives from professional services fees determined by tree size, location, condition, and complexity, with a 25% non-refundable deposit and balance due upon completion; ancillary retail revenue comes from a small line of herbicide, insecticide, fungicide, and fertilizer products. Recent strategic activity includes a partnership with Aspinall's Tree Nursery & Landscaping and an explicit invitation to add additional partners, suggesting an emerging referral ecosystem around complementary planting/landscaping work.
