The Boniface Story

Our name is inspired by St. Boniface, an 8th-century missionary whose legend was immortalized in the felling of a massive tree that was held in fear as sacred and untouchable. In this decisive act he proved that in the difficulty of losing a good thing, better and more beautiful things may take root and grow. Our motto is "bonum opus faciens" which translates to "do good work.” A simple phrase that nonetheless inspires us to always focus on the good that we are bringing to our community by our services, and that no job or client is simply a means to an end—what is only a few hours of our time is your daily life and peace of mind. 

Whether your vision is more sunlight, a view of the sea, a prime building space, a beautiful garden, or just the peace of mind that comes from having healthy, safe trees, we truly want to help make that vision a reality for you.
