About Noah's Park Tree Care
Company History
I began doing tree work in 2000 with a company in Seattle called City Foresters. They were one of the larger and more established companies in Seattle at the time with good climbers who never pruned with spikes and didn’t top trees. I credit a lot of my fundamental approaches to trees from what I learned while at City Foresters. After that I worked mostly in the summers between college semesters for small companies, and I learned a lot of different ways to do things, which served me well in the future.
I moved back to Reno and started Noah’s Park Tree Care in 2006 with just a truck and a chainsaw that I bought the week before I started college. That was the tail end of the economic boom and finding work was relatively easy. But after 2008 Reno was a really tough place to find work, and growing the business was difficult. I also didn’t know a damn thing about starting or running a business, so I learned a lot in that time. I stayed committed to the company and hired my first team members in 2010, Ernesto and Sam. Back then I had a small chipper that would overheat on hot days and a dump truck that didn’t really dump. You had to shovel out half of the chips before the bed would go up, and then you had to back up really quick and slam on the brakes to push the chips out. A hilarious and frustrating process that resulted in the ram breaking several times over the years. Looking back now I laugh at all the things I didn’t know, and mistakes I could have avoided. Initially I just parked my trucks on the street, which resulted in a fair amount of stuff getting stolen, although mostly just gasoline. When I finally got reported we started moving to various lots around east 4th street. This was problematic too, with trucks getting broken into quite a bit, including staff trucks. We moved into our Gentry yard in October 2020, which has been a nice change from the many hassles of 4th street.
Since then we’ve hired more people, bought better equipment, and figured out a little more about how to run a tree care business. Now we have a solid team of professionals both in the field and in the office that are dedicated to providing the best service and tree care.
