Treescape was founded by Bill Patchett in 1994 when he recognized a need for a company to provide quality tree care to the communities of the San Francisco bay area. His involvement with tree care started as a young man and was influenced by many highly respected local arborists such as Leslie Mayne, Cline Peter Stevens and Kenneth Meyer.

These men passed on many of the traditional methods of early arboriculture which have stood the test of time and are still the cornerstones of tree preservation today. During his 27 years of involvement in the tree care industry beginning with Journeyman High-climber to Consulting Arborist, Bill has observed the successes and the failures of applications applied to trees, and he has incorporated some of his own ideas into the art of Tree Preservation.
