He is an ISA certified arborist, carries a QS pesticide applicator license through the Colorado Department of Agriculture, and works under the motto Working Locally, Thinking Globally. The company specializes in the treatment of emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle whose larvae feed under the bark of ash trees for up to two years and are highly destructive if left untreated, along with other pesticide applications timed to prevent and treat problems ranging from invasive weeds to problematic insects. Tree and shrub pruning and removal are core services, with pruning used to maintain airflow between branches for growth, production, and aesthetics while reducing spring damage and safety issues. Additional work covers plant and yard health care, re-wilding landscapes by replacing water-thirsty grass and non-native plants with xeric alternatives, tree planting, tree structural support, mulching, compost, end of season clean up, and fire mitigation. Lance also assists with small urban farming projects such as bee keeping, chicken coops, and compost bins, and crafts made-to-order items from recycled, up-cycled, and unused materials.

Services
Pruning and removal
Tree and shrub pruning and removal. Proper pruning maintains airflow between branches for optimal growth, production, and aesthetics, and it helps reduce spring damage and potential safety issues.
EAB treatment
Treatment for emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle that damages and kills multiple species of ash trees in North America. Eggs are laid in crevices of bark and the larvae feed underneath the bark for up to two years until emergence, so untreated infestations are highly destructive.
Pesticide application
Applying the appropriate pesticides at the correct times to safely prevent and treat a wide range of problems, from invasive weeds to problematic insects.
Plant and yard health care
Helping clients create and maintain beautiful, xeric, sustainable, eco-conscience outdoor living spaces, using proactive holistic measures to reduce the need for fertilizers and pesticides that eventually end up in community waterways.
Re-wilding landscapes
Re-wilding outdoor spaces by replacing or smothering water-thirsty grass and non-native plants with more xeric, sustainable, and eco-conscious options.
