The Treemaster Story

Our founder, Mike White, has been climbing and caring for trees for nearly 20 years across the country. His passion began with a summer job during college at a tree company in Connecticut. In 2008, he moved to California, started White’s Tree Service, and worked on his master’s degree.

As the company grew, so did Mike’s knowledge and expertise. In 2011, he became a certified arborist with the International Society of Arboriculture, gaining valuable experience working with challenging trees in urban settings.

In 2014, Mike sold his majority interest in the company, now known as West Coast Tree Care Inc, which continues to thrive. Check it out!

The following year, Mike and his family moved to Wellsboro, where he later started Treemaster LLC. After years of study and experience, Mike became a Board Certified Master Arborist in 2021. He is also a TCIA Certified Tree Safety Professional and TCIA Plant Healthcare Technician. During the seasonally slow winter of 2021, the team began working in the charming town of Corning, eventually establishing a second full-time location there.

Mike’s love for trees is only surpassed by his love for Jesus. He is also an associate pastor at Christ Church in Wellsboro. Mike is the husband of Rachel and the father of Lucy, Cliff, Ruby, and Carson.

Why choose us?

The Treemaster Difference

We recognize that there are other reputable tree services in the Wellsboro and Corning areas. Our team is dedicated to providing professional tree care. Here are a few reasons to choose TreemasterLLC.

Safety is our #1 priority.

Tree work is the second most dangerous profession in the world (behind commercial fishing in case you’re wondering). We use the safest modern equipment available, strictly follow best practices, and have numerous safety certifications to prove it! The job demands some level of risk but we never take unnecessary risks.

Integrity is critical.

Everyone makes mistakes. It’s how you respond afterwards that shows what kind of person you are. We take integrity seriously. We also won’t oversell you on something you don’t need.

We are fully insured.

We carry general liability, commercial auto, and worker’s compensation insurance. Many contractors advertise that they are “fully insured” but do not carry worker’s compensation, which is the most critical (and expensive!) kind of insurance. It protects both our workers and you from potential liability. Always verify!

We are tree experts.

Anyone can cut a tree. It takes a true arborist to know what is right for your tree and how to best do it. Mike has been an ISA certified arborist since 2011.

We’ll call you back.

We’re busy but do our best to get back to you as soon as we can.

Eric Grant

Eric Grant grew up in Tioga, PA and is part of our ground support team. Most arborists consider your backyard their gym but somehow Eric finds the time and energy to pump iron before work. Some call it crazy. We call it passion! Sorry ladies, he’s taken!

Riley Amaral

Read Bio
Meet Riley Amaral, the man who traded in celebrity tree trimming for a real meal! After years of traveling with utility arborists, Riley finally put down roots with us in June 2024. Hailing from Martha's Vineyard, he used to rub elbows with the likes of Barack Obama—who still calls, begging Riley to prune his private apple orchard while offering sage political advice. But honestly, Riley’s got better things to do, like enjoying the local fare at Yorkholo and QQ Buffet. Sorry, Barack, Riley’s not giving up his lunch plans anytime soon!
