Rooted in the work. Honest about the trees.

A different kind of arborist

Over the past 20 years, Chris Mello has dedicated his life to the landscape industry — studying trees, plant health, tree biology, and every aspect of the craft. That depth of commitment didn't happen overnight. It was built in the dirt — hands and knees in the soil, learning how trees actually work from the ground up, at prominent commercial and residential landscape and tree companies across the region.

Since 2011, Chris has focused heavily on arboriculture — the science and practice of cultivating and managing trees. That specialization, combined with two decades of field experience, is what separates a Mello Roots assessment from a standard tree service visit.

He doesn't run a crew of twenty. He shows up himself, does the assessment himself, and writes the report himself. That's not a limitation — it's the point.
