My mission is to foster beauty and resilient trees and landscapes. I work to support nature’s capacity to thrive, and to help people see and appreciate its beauty through thoughtful, intentional tree care.
For clients needing functional tree work, I’m here to help.
Founder & CEO
Hi, I'm Josias the heart and hands behind Healthy Roots. I approach tree care with deep respect for nature and its natural expression. Trees are part of our homes and landscapes because they bring beauty, calm, and a sense of connection, while also providing vital ecological benefits to the places we live. My work is dedicated to supporting that relationship with care and intention. Drawing on years of horticultural education and hands-on experience, I combine technical knowledge with close observation and intuition to make thoughtful pruning decisions that honor each tree’s structure, growth patterns, and long-term vitality.
“Josias demonstrates excellent knowledge of tree care and pruning best practices, including seasonal timing, and has taught me a great deal. He’s personable and collaborative, valuing my input and helping me become a better steward of my trees."
Toni, Property Owner
From our first meeting Josias impressed me with his talent and thoughtful pruning; he expertly redesigned my trees, was clear about costs, and quickly restored a beautiful row of hawthorns.
Martin Brugger, Former Garden Manager Camphill Communities
"Josias managed nearly 70 fruit, citrus, and olive trees using organic/biodynamic methods, creating annual care plans, performing seasonal pruning, and monitoring tree health."
