In 2013, Dennis Lusk took a leap of faith. After spending over a decade working for another tree care company, honing his skills and deepening his knowledge of the industry, Dennis knew he had the vision and expertise to make a bigger impact. Fueled by a lifelong passion for the outdoors and a drive to provide better service, he founded Lusk Tree Service (LTS) and launched a company that would grow to become a cornerstone of the community.

LTS’s success wasn’t just about business know-how. Dennis attributes the steady growth of his company to a deep commitment to customer care, a genuine passion for tailored solutions, and the willingness to listen. In a crowded industry, where many businesses focus on the job at hand, LTS sets itself apart by focusing on relationships. They don’t just offer tree care—they offer peace of mind, taking the time to fully understand the unique needs of every customer, listening carefully to their concerns, and delivering results that reflect those conversations.

But Dennis didn’t stop there. In 2015, to elevate LTS to even greater heights, he became an ISA New York State Certified Arborist (NY-6064A). With extensive training in arboriculture, horticulture, and advanced tree practices, Dennis successfully completed rigorous exams, specialized seminars, and comprehensive courses designed by leading experts in the field. This credential isn’t just a badge of honor—it’s a mark of Dennis’s dedication to staying ahead in a constantly evolving industry. By maintaining his certification through Continual Education Units, he ensures that LTS stays on the cutting edge of safety standards, tree care science, and best practices. And as the company grows, so does Dennis’s knowledge and the range of services LTS offers.

Today, LTS serves a wide array of clients, from residential tree care to large-scale commercial projects. Whether it’s planting, trimming, full removals, or stump grinding, LTS has the tools and expertise to handle it all. But what really sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to their values. LTS operates as a Christian-based, drug-free, and family-centered company—principles that shape their day-to-day operations and interactions with customers. This focus on integrity, efficiency, and continual improvement gives them an edge when competing with larger companies. LTS is also a proud supporter of various local organizations, actively contributing to environmental efforts and strengthening community connections.

Despite having all the equipment and skill needed for large-scale, complex jobs, LTS has managed to maintain the charm of a small business. As an owner-operated company, they offer a level of personalized service that sets them apart. With hands-on leadership, they prioritize attention to detail, efficiency, and a customer-first approach. They pride themselves on treating every customer with warmth and a sense of trust, ensuring that each project—big or small—receives the attention it deserves.

When you choose Lusk Tree Service, you’re not just hiring a tree care company—you’re partnering with a team that values the growth of your trees as much as the growth of their own business. They’re not just trimming branches; they’re building lasting relationships, one tree at a time.
