Stephen and Kathy Redding founded Happy Tree Ltd. in 1978 as a tree service company committed to the holistic and professional care of trees. With our emphasis on tree health and care for the environment, we quickly established a reputation for the preservation of large and historic trees. As the scope of tree services we offered continued to expand, it became apparent that we needed to be a voice for the trees as well as advocates for the space they occupy.

As years passed and Happy Tree continued to grow, it became quite apparent the lack of diverse, suitable, and properly grown trees available to the industry. In 1986, we began our own in-ground nursery focusing primarily on trees and giving them an all-organic start into a long and prosperous life. Many years later our nursery has grown to now encompass 15 acres and houses numerous species of trees and shrubs.

While the nursery took shape and the demand of our ‘Happy’ trees continued to grow, the next step was obvious. Through the 1990's the landscape division took shape, bringing multiple facets of Happy Tree together utlilizing our knowledge in not only trees, but shrub and property maintenance. With our expert knowledge and creative mindset, Happy Tree quickly expanded into not only landscape property maintenance, but also into landscape installations of all color, shape, and sizes. The expert advice which started within the tree canopy evolved into the gardens, bringing a natural approach into the homes of many.

Currently, both Stephen & Kathy are very much available and involved with the everyday activities of Happy Tree. Stephen Redding, is the President of Happy Tree Ltd. and a master arborist. Stephen has dedicated his life to being a voice for all trees. His deep love for the trees and his many years of experience in the field allow him to expertly evaluate and recommend solutions for a myriad of problems and conditions that affect this magnificent life form. Kathy Redding, is the Vice-President and co-founder of Happy Tree Ltd. Kathy is the business manager for Happy Tree Ltd. Her “behind the scenes” work coordinates the many facets of the business end of running a busy tree and landscaping service. Over the 35+ years of Happy Tree, the business has worn various hats. The stability of management, work ethic, reputation, and moral direction has kept the business a step-above and in an ever-evolving field.
