Preston is a Knoxville native. Though he's traveled a bit over the years, he has always gravitated back to the hills and mountains of East Tennessee. This landscape has always conveyed to him an element of deep beauty and grace. He graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Geography degree in 2004. He received his Certified Arborist credential in 2009. He has spent several years in the tree care world, including four years as an arborist and project manager for the City of Chattanooga, Tennessee. His position in Chattanooga involved overseeing Project Take Root with the goal of doubling the downtown tree canopy by planting about 2000 trees. Once Take Root’s goal was met, Preston went on to help manage Chattanooga’s urban forest with the City's Urban Forestry Department. Beyond his work operating Ironwood Tree Care, he spends plenty of time with his wife and two young kids doing whatever the kids are currently into- which is a lot! Preston and his wife also find that good meals with good friends are really hard to beat. If he can find the time, he hopes to rekindle an old hobby- beekeeping.

What is an Arborist?

Arboriculture is the care of trees, particularly in urban settings to maintain the health of trees that provide property value, environmental and psychological benefits. An arborist is a professional who cares for trees by pruning, fertilizing, monitoring for insects and diseases, consulting on tree related issues, and occasionally planting, transplanting and removing trees.

Your landscape does not need to be a stark scene in the winter. Many trees and shrubs have unique characteristics that stand out during the colder months of the year.

Evergreen trees are definitely the stars of winter. Despite their name, they actually come in many hues. There are bluish options like juniper, cedar and Colorado blue spruce as well as others such as the yellow of ‘Chief Joseph’ lodgepole pine.

Shrubs are another great source of year-round color. Those with berries like holly, winterberry and chokeberry provide an extra pop.

Unusual and interesting texture is highlighted in the bark of many trees during winter. The shedding bark of the sycamore is one example. White birch and red osier dogwood are striking in winter when color is a priority to the property owner.

There are considerations other than color as well. The shape of the tree and its branches can add an almost architectural aspect to a landscape. Weeping beech and crape myrtle are two great examples.

It’s an excellent idea to consider the year-round appearance of the landscape when selecting trees and shrubs. There are so many unique details that are best seen and appreciated only in winter.

"The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”
- William Blake

“A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people. ”
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
