This is a tough post to write, and I’ve been putting it off.

Last Friday was DUG’s final estimate run with me. We said goodbye to his sweet soul at the wise age of 16.

DUG was the best companion a girl could ask for. He was always by my side—whether it was estimate appointments, landfill runs, or a quick trip to the shop. If I was going somewhere, he was ready to come along and keep me company.

He wasn’t just part of my life; he was part of this business and a familiar face to many of our customers over the years.

His loyalty, companionship, and unconditional love will be deeply missed. Thank you for 16 wonderful years, buddy. ❤️🐾

The crew had a day of destruction! We removed some overgrown arborvitae that had completely outgrown their space around the well house. While they once worked great for screening, they had become too large for the area and were starting to crowd the structure. Sometimes removal is the best long-term option to keep a space functional, healthy, and looking its best. Great work by Mandy, Mitch, and Korey getting it done safely and efficiently!

Happy Arbor Day 🌳

Yesterday we celebrated Earth Day, and today we get to honor Arbor Day, two days that mean a lot to us and the work we do every day.

This year, we donated a tree to Brucemore here in Cedar Rapids. After the derecho, they lost so many beautiful trees, and being able to give even a small piece back to a place that means so much to our community (and to us as our dear clients) was incredibly special.

Trees do so much more than just look nice. They clean our air, cool our neighborhoods, support wildlife, and create spaces where memories are made. Planting and caring for them is one of the simplest and most powerful ways we can give back to the earth.

We’re grateful every day to do work that helps protect and care for something so important. Thank you to our amazing clients and community for supporting our small business and allowing us to keep doing what we love.

If you’ve ever thought about planting a tree, today is the perfect day to start !

So…these are Triumph Elms, and they’re pretty impressive.

They’re coming in around 20 feet tall with a 2.5–3" caliper (measured 6" above the soil line), so you’re not starting with a tiny tree, you’re getting something that already feels established. Under Legacy’s growing system, these trees are putting on about 4–6 feet of growth per year.

Normally, trees this size are priced quite a bit higher, but Legacy Trees is doing a “Cedar Rapids needs more big trees” push and offering them at the same cost as standard stock. Ron stopped by to visit the crew a couple weeks ago and quickly saw what we’re all feeling!! We need shade, and we need it sooner rather than later.

These trees also come with a 5-year warranty and are grown using a system designed to promote strong root development and proper planting depth, setting them up for long-term success right from the start.

If you’ve been thinking about planting, or have a spot that could use some real shade, this is a great opportunity to skip a lot of the “waiting years” and get something established right away.

We’ll be doing our spring planting next month, so reach out if you want to take advantage of these big beauties.

I was asked to be on the 1 Year 1 Fear podcast with Cara Flynn.

It was a really great conversation, and Cara is an awesome interviewer.

We talked about my childhood growing up in a small town, finding my place in this industry, taking a chance on hiking across the country, and the creation of That Girl Tree Care.

We also got into deep conversations about fear and how we deal with it.

If you want to learn a little more about me or just have another good podcast to listen to, check it out!

Spring is here… and planting season is right around the corner

We’re officially taking tree orders for 2026! If you’ve been thinking about adding shade, privacy, or investing in the future of your property, now’s the time.

We’re planting high-quality trees focused on strong root systems and long-term health (not the “plant it and hope” approach).

Every tree comes with a 5-year warranty, is logged into our tree inventory for long-term tracking, and includes future structural pruning and mulch, all designed to help it thrive, not just survive.

Give us a call or send us an email!

The First Five Years — Part 2.2
How Water Influences Tree Structure

When we talk about watering a tree, most people think of it in very simple terms:
water keeps a tree alive, lack of water kills it.

But watering affects much more than survival. It plays a major role in how a young tree develops its roots, distributes energy, and ultimately builds the structure that will support it for the rest of its life.

When a young tree doesn’t get enough water, the central leader is often the first part to suffer. If that leader dies back, side branches can take over, creating multiple competing leaders and weaker structure.

Drought stress can also cause uneven canopy growth, where parts of the tree slow down or die back while other sections keep growing. This leads to asymmetrical structure and irregular development.

On the other side, too much water can be just as problematic.

Roots need oxygen to function. When soil stays saturated for long periods, roots struggle to breathe. This reduces the tree’s ability to move energy and nutrients, which can weaken leader dominance and lead to multiple stems competing for control.

At the end of the day, we do our best to make sure young trees receive adequate water. But watering isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. Soil type, sun exposure, wind, drainage, and weather all influence how much water a tree actually needs.

Because of that, our goal is to manage the best we can, keeping the tree healthy while it establishes and then guiding its structure with pruning while it’s still young and easy to correct.

Follow along as we continue exploring The First Five Years and how early care shapes trees for decades to come.

Water helps a tree survive.
Early guidance helps it thrive.
