Learn About Our Landscaping and Tree Service Company
Minnechaug Tree and Landscape Inc. is a business that was established in Glastonbury, CT out of a desire to promote the care and appreciation of trees in our local community. Since our inception, we have been continuously learning and teaching about the safe and economically responsible development of residential properties through the planting and maintenance of trees.
Why We Appreciate and Care for Trees
Growing up, we only saw “tree care” as being limited to the removal of nuisance trees. We learned and appreciated the benefits you can get from planting and maintaining trees. They can be used to accentuate the most aesthetically pleasing parts of your yard and provide shade where you and your loved ones can relax.
Our Founder
Minnechaug Tree and Landscape Inc. is led by Michael Presta, our founder and operator who uses a hands-on approach in all aspects of the business. He is constantly involved in buying and maintaining the equipment needed to meet your tree care needs. Michael also has access to a network of professionals in related fields.
Under Michael’s leadership, we aim to help you achieve your tree care goals. We focus all of our resources on each project that we handle to promote the responsible maintenance and planting of trees in the landscaping industry. Owner Michael Presta, Arborist Bruce Sullivan and Foreman/Climber Chris Gilbert have worked together for more than a decade to ensure that our customers receive the best possible advice and commitment to safe, quality tree work that the business can offer.
