Ocean State Tree Service was established in 1974 by Rick Roda. Rick has a degree
from the University of Rhode Island in Plant and Soil Science specializing in
Arboriculture. Through the years he has tried to change the image of the
arborist from the "toothless woodcutter" to a professional who should educate
the home owner to the value of the trees on their property as well as try to
prevent personal and property damage from hazardous situations. Knowledge of
tree root systems and growth characteristics will help tree survival during
construction projects such as illustrated.
