About Me
- Ralph Padilla
- New York, NY, United States
- I pursued horticulture at the prestigious New York Botanical Garden (NYBG). Unlike most tree care professionals, I was fortunate to cultivate my practice in a non-production environment over the course of ten years and through apprenticeships with the very best in the arboricultural field. I attended professional classes, seminars, conferences and workshops covering all aspects of tree care maintenance and climbing during this time. In essence, I lived and breathed arboriculture. I've always considered myself lucky to have learned in a professional environment where doing the technically correct procedure -- not necessarily the quickest or cheapest was the rule. In 1993 I received arborist certification from the International Society of Arboriculture and in 1996 won the New York State Tree Climbing Competition. In 1997, after ten years, I left NYBG to pursue a long-held dream to own and operate a different kind of small tree and shrub care company serving New York City, Bronx and Westchester County.
