About
Dedicated to the health and longevity of trees — through education in the art and science of arboriculture.
History
A natural evolution
CW Arborists, Ltd. grew from the work of founder Michael S. Gaines and a team dedicated to arboriculture. He began in the nursery business in East Hampton, NY, then credentialed as an ISA Board-Certified Master Arborist and Connecticut State Arborist.
The practice expanded from East Hampton and Southampton to the Connecticut Shoreline, with offices in Sagaponack, NY and Killingworth, CT.
Philosophy
Care and preservation
Trees shape properties, communities, and the health of an environment. Diagnosing disease, pests, weather damage, and injury takes a site- specific approach — each tree and each property read on its own terms.
Care and preservation of trees is the job.
