About Tree Health

Peter Felix founded Tree Health with a simple yet powerful dream: to save every tree that can be saved and safely remove those that cannot, all while operating with unwavering honesty and integrity. As owner, Peter brings deep knowledge and strong people skills to every client interaction, making homeowners in the Long Island area feel completely comfortable and confident about the health of the trees and shrubs on their properties. This commitment to transparent, caring service has built lasting customer loyalty and trust that keeps clients returning year after year.

Leadership and team culture sit at the heart of Tree Health. Peter has created a safe, consistent, and friendly work environment where employees genuinely love coming to work. With top-of-the-line equipment that prioritizes safety and efficiency, the company maintains remarkably low employee turnover — a true testament to the positive, supportive culture he has built.

This passion for excellence and safety runs deep in the family. Peter’s father, Robert Felix, served as Executive Vice President of the National Arborist Association (now the Tree Care Industry Association) from the early 1970s until his sudden passing in 1996. Robert brought professionalism and safety to the entire tree care industry by developing safety programs, home study courses for employees, and helping countless company owners — large and small — navigate the business side of arboriculture. He lobbied on behalf of the industry with OSHA, helped shape key ANSI safety standards, founded Tree Care Industry magazine in 1990, and created the Tree Care Industry Expo for education and equipment innovation. In 1972, as president of the association, Robert planted a tree with First Lady Patricia Nixon at the White House to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Arbor Day — with six-year-old Peter Felix proudly in attendance. That early experience planted the seed for Peter’s lifelong commitment to trees.


Innovation and creativity continue to drive Tree Health forward. Peter co-developed Rhizofuel, a proprietary natural mycorrhizal soil inoculant. By introducing beneficial mycorrhizal fungi, Rhizofuel creates extensive underground fungal networks beneath lawns and gardens. These networks connect trees and shrubs, allowing them to share water and nutrients from areas of the soil that would otherwise remain inaccessible. Clients see visibly healthier, more resilient trees and shrubs with reduced reliance on chemical treatments — a sustainable breakthrough born from Peter’s passion for long-term tree vitality.


Peter’s 25-year-old son, Hunter Felix, a University of South Carolina biology graduate and now a certified arborist, has joined the business as a passionate advocate for trees. Together, father and son strengthen both client relationships and the team, spreading their love for trees while mentoring employees and delivering exceptional care. Through ethical practices, innovative solutions, and genuine care, Tree Health makes a meaningful community impact by preserving urban tree canopies, supporting local ecosystems, and helping families enjoy safer, more beautiful properties for generations. In every decision, Tree Health carries forward a proud family legacy of service, safety, and stewardship — embodying the American spirit of hard work, ingenuity, and dedication to making our neighborhoods greener and stronger.

4 General Warning Signs that a Tree Has a Disease

by Tree Health • 8 September 2026
Trees can become vulnerable to diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and other pathogens. Some tree diseases develop gradually, making their early symptoms easy to overlook. Identifying potential problems early can give you an opportunity to have the tree professionally evaluated and determine whether treatment or other care is appropriate. At Tree Health, our local ISA-certified arborists provide expert tree disease management in the greater Hicksville, NY area. Here are four general warning signs that a tree may be affected by a disease. Unusual Leaf Discoloration Changes in leaf color can be one of the earliest indications that something is wrong with a tree. Leaves that develop unusual yellowing, browning, spotting, or other discoloration may be experiencing disease or another form of stress. While seasonal changes can naturally affect foliage, unexpected discoloration during the growing season deserves attention, particularly when it affects a large portion of the canopy. Premature Leaf Loss Healthy deciduous trees typically lose their leaves according to seasonal patterns. If a tree begins dropping leaves significantly earlier than surrounding trees of the same type, it could indicate a health problem. Disease, insect activity, drought, root damage, and other stresses can all contribute to premature leaf loss. A professional tree evaluation can help identify the underlying cause. Dead or Dying Branches Dead branches throughout the canopy can indicate that a tree is struggling with disease or another serious health problem. Look for branches with no leaves during the growing season or sections of the canopy that appear noticeably thinner than others. While occasional dead branches may not indicate a major issue, widespread dieback could mean there’s an underlying issue requiring professional attention. Fungal Growth/Abnormal Bark Unusual growths on the trunk, branches, or around the base of a tree may be associated with fungal activity or decay. Mushrooms, conks, cankers, unusual bark discoloration, cracks, or areas where bark is falling away can all warrant investigation. Not every fungal growth means a tree has a serious disease, but unusual changes should be evaluated by someone familiar with tree health.

FAQs About Stump Grinding and Removal in Hicksville, NY

by Tree Health • 8 August 2026
After a tree has been removed, the stump that remains behind can create a number of problems for your yard. It may be difficult to mow around, limit your landscaping options, attract pests, or simply make the yard look worse. That is why many homeowners choose stump grinding or complete stump removal as the final step in a tree removal project. If you are considering this service, you may have a few questions. At Tree Health, we’re happy to answer your questions about stump grinding and removal in the greater Hicksville, NY area. What Is the Difference Between Stump Grinding and Stump Removal? Stump grinding uses specialized equipment to grind the stump down several inches below ground level, leaving the root system in place. This is usually the less invasive option. Complete stump removal, on the other hand, involves digging out the stump along with much of the root system. This method is more extensive and is often used when the area will be repurposed for construction or major landscaping. Why Should I Have a Stump Removed? Leaving a stump in the ground can lead to several issues over time. Stumps can be tripping hazards, interfere with lawn maintenance, and take up valuable yard space. As they decay, they may also attract insects such as ants and termites. In addition, a decaying stump can become a source of fungal growth or sprouting, which may create more maintenance problems. Removing the stump improves safety, appearance, and usability. What Happens to the Area After the Stump Is Gone? Once the stump has been ground or removed, the area is usually filled with soil, mulch, or a combination of both. The remaining space can often be seeded with grass, covered with new landscaping, or prepared for another planting project. If the stump was removed entirely, the area may need additional grading before new use. Why Should I Hire a Professional for Stump Grinding or Removal? Stump grinding and removal require specialized equipment and experience to be done safely and effectively. Professionals know how to handle root systems, underground obstacles, and nearby structures without causing unnecessary damage to your property. Hiring a qualified tree service helps ensure the job is completed efficiently and leaves your yard in better condition. Where Can I Find Stump Grinding & Removal in Hicksville, NY?

The Advantages of Having an ISA-Certified Arborist Prune Your Trees Instead of Attempting DIY

by Tree Health • 6 July 2026
Tree pruning is one of the most important aspects of maintaining healthy, attractive, and safe trees. While it may be tempting to tackle pruning as a DIY project, improper pruning techniques can damage trees and create safety hazards. ISA-certified arborists have undergone extensive training and testing to demonstrate their knowledge of proper tree care practices. At Tree Health, our local ISA-certified arborists provide expert tree pruning in the greater Hicksville, NY area. Here are five benefits of hiring an ISA-certified arborist to prune your trees instead of attempting the work yourself. Promote Better Tree Health Proper pruning helps remove dead, diseased, and damaged branches while encouraging healthy growth. ISA-certified arborists understand how different tree species respond to pruning and know where and how to make cuts that support long-term health. Incorrect pruning can weaken a tree and make it more vulnerable to pests and disease. Improve Safety on Your Property Tree pruning often involves working at heights and removing large branches. This can be dangerous without the proper training and equipment. Certified arborists are trained to identify hazardous limbs and perform pruning safely, reducing the risk of injuries and property damage. Prevent Costly Tree Damage Many homeowners unintentionally harm trees by over-pruning or making improper cuts. These mistakes can lead to decay and shortened tree lifespan. An ISA-certified arborist follows industry-approved standards that help preserve the tree's strength and appearance. Identify Potential Problems Early During the pruning process, arborists inspect trees for signs of disease, pest infestations, structural defects, and other issues. Early detection allows problems to be addressed before they become more serious and expensive. This proactive approach can often save trees from significant decline. Enhance Appearance/Curb Appeal Professional pruning improves a tree's natural shape and appearance while promoting balanced growth. Healthy, well-maintained trees can contribute significantly to curb appeal and even property value. Certified arborists know how to achieve aesthetic improvements without compromising the tree's health.
