Sense of Place Permaculture

Natural resource stewardship remains the mission under which we operate.  Tree work, support of subsistence lifestyles and activities, and natural resource conservation: these are our core services and focus areas

 

We believe permaculture is a useful system to help you focus efforts to get in touch with nature, produce more food, support wildlife, learn about human ecological impacts, and connect with others to have fun, share, and heal damaged ecosystems.

​

Sense of Place is not a tree removal contractor.  If you ask us if we think a tree should be removed, we'll give our honest, professional opinion, not an automatic yes. We have the assessment skills (ISA Certified Arborist and Qualified Tree RIsk Assessor) to finely discern tree condition and write a work prescription that matches your needs to tree condition.

​

 We never use spurs to climb a tree we are pruning.  Anyone who does is taking shortcuts with your tree's health.

​

​In addition to a tow-behind chipper, Sense of Place is one of only a handful of companies to use a commercial-grade portable chipper and leave wood chips on site in your landscape, not in a Sisyphean pile in your driveway.  We can scatter chips or leave them in a pile for you to use as mulch in your landscape beds, allowing you to benefit from their weed suppressing, water preserving goodness.
