Built on World-Class Experience

Before returning to Utah, Parker spent time managing the trees, formal hedges, and ornamental planting of a large private estate in Queenstown, New Zealand โ€” one of the most celebrated and meticulously maintained properties in the South Island.

Working at this level demands more than technical skill. It requires an understanding of how trees and woody plants interact with architecture, topography, and a client's vision for their property โ€” and the discipline to maintain that standard consistently, season after season. That same attention to detail is what Parker brings to every residential client in Salt Lake County.

Parker Measom โ€” Certified Arborist

"Trees are long-term investments โ€” they deserve to be treated that way."

My name is Parker Measom, and I started Parker's Tree and Landscape Maintenance because I believe homeowners deserve access to genuine arboricultural expertise โ€” not just lawn crews with chainsaws.

After a decade working in the field across a wide range of residential and commercial projects, I decided to bring my expertise directly to homeowners on evenings and weekends, offering quality that's usually reserved for commercial contracts โ€” at fair, honest prices.

Every visit starts with listening. Your goals, your concerns, your budget. Then we build a plan that puts the health of your landscape first.
