In 1948, Ted Glass saw a demand for a tree spray company to be started in the Eugene/Springfield area. After several requests for his expert advice and assistance with orchard spraying, Ted created Glass Tree Care. An innovative pioneer in the spray service industry, he developed many practices and services used by the spray service industry today. He invented and marketed the first roof moss removal product in the Northwest. 

Ted prided himself on catering to the customer's needs. When customers wanted their lawns to be fertilized, Ted implemented a fertilization program; when customers complained of dandelions, he developed a lawn weed program; when pruning was requested, he found the best pruner in the area to teach him the art. 

This customer service-centered approach continued when Ted retired and sold Glass Tree Care to his son-in-law, Jim Mischkot, in 1979. Jim's business philosophy to expand Glass Tree Care was based on providing personal and prompt service to its clients. Since 1979, the Glass Tree Care standard has been face-to-face communication or a scheduled appointment within 24 hours of a client's inquiry. 

That philosophy and state-of-the-art equipment and materials have set Glass Tree Care apart in the Pacific Northwest and the tree care industry. If you were to ask Jim today why Glass Tree Care continued success, his answer would be, "We provide fair, honest service, service, and service." 

This legacy continues today through three employees that Jim hired over 20 years ago. Doug and Mel are the backbone of Glass Tree Care. With a combined total of more than 55 years at Glass Tree Care, they are the state's most experienced and knowledgeable tree and lawn experts. 

They are constantly improving their practices and products to offer their customers the most effective, environmentally sound materials and services to control problems in their landscapes. Glass Tree Care has implemented a natural solutions program for lawns, trees, shrubs, gardens, and fertilization. The natural applications use a mixture of kelp and fish oil combined with different plant oils to control insects and plant diseases. If you're looking for an effective, environmentally sound product for pest control, the Natural Solutions program is a wonderful option.
