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.

The Benefits of Hiring an ISA-Certified Arborist for Tree Removal

by Tree Health • 6 November 2026
Removing a tree can be a complicated and potentially dangerous project, particularly when dealing with large trees near buildings and power lines. Choosing the right professional is essential for protecting your property and ensuring the work is completed responsibly. Hiring an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA)-certified arborist offers valuable advantages because these professionals have demonstrated their knowledge of tree care and industry best practices. At Tree Health, our local ISA-certified arborists provide expert tree removal in the greater Hicksville, NY area. Here are three benefits of hiring an ISA-certified arborist for tree removal. Prioritize Safety During Tree Removal Tree removal involves significant risks, including falling limbs, unstable trunks, and heavy equipment. ISA-certified arborists have demonstrated knowledge of tree structure, risk assessment, and proper tree care practices. This expertise helps them identify potential hazards and plan an appropriate removal strategy. Experienced professionals also understand the importance of protective equipment, safe work zones, and suitable cutting techniques. By hiring qualified tree removal specialists, you can avoid unnecessary risks to your family, property, and everyone involved in the project. Protect Your Home and Surrounding Property When a tree grows close to your house, garage, fence, or driveway, removing it requires careful planning. A falling branch or poorly controlled trunk can cause extensive damage. An experienced arborist can evaluate the tree's size, condition, structure, and surroundings before determining how to proceed. Depending on the circumstances, the removal may involve dismantling the tree in sections or using specialized rigging equipment. This careful approach helps prevent damage to nearby structures and landscaping. Receive Knowledgeable Tree Health Assessments Not every struggling tree needs to be removed immediately. An ISA-certified arborist can assess signs of disease, decay, structural weakness, and other conditions that may affect a tree's stability. They can explain whether removal is appropriate or whether alternatives, such as pruning or other treatments, may address the problem. When removal is necessary, understanding why the tree declined can also help you make better decisions about the remaining trees on your property.

4 Warning Signs a Tree Is at Significant Risk of Crashing Down in High Winds

by Tree Health • 5 October 2026
A weakened tree can become a serious hazard when high winds move through the area. Strong gusts place additional stress on trunks and root systems, potentially causing unstable trees to topple or large limbs to break. Recognizing signs of structural weakness before severe weather arrives can help you take action to reduce potential risks. At Tree Health, our local ISA-certified arborists provide hazardous tree identification and removal in the greater Hicksville, NY area. Here are four warning signs that a tree may be at significant risk of falling during high winds. The Tree Has Developed a New Lean A noticeable lean does not necessarily mean a tree is dangerous, since some trees naturally grow at an angle. However, a tree that has recently started leaning or whose angle appears to be increasing deserves professional attention. Changes in the soil around the base, exposed roots, or a raised section of ground may indicate movement in the root system. An arborist can evaluate whether the tree remains structurally stable. Large Cracks in the Trunk Large cracks or splits in the trunk can compromise a tree’s structural strength. Cracks may develop because of storms, heavy limbs, disease, decay, or other forms of stress. Deep vertical cracks or areas where major sections of the trunk are separating can be especially concerning. Because structural damage may worsen when strong winds push against the canopy, prompt professional inspection is recommended. Roots Are Damaged or Exposed A healthy root system helps anchor a tree securely in the ground. Erosion, disease, excavation, or changing soil conditions can damage roots and potentially reduce stability. Exposed roots, significant soil movement, or visible decay around the base may indicate an underlying problem. If you notice changes around the tree’s root zone, have the tree assessed by an arborist. Signs of Decay Decay can weaken important structural portions of a tree while remaining difficult to detect from the outside. Hollow areas, cavities, fungal growth, soft or damaged wood, dead sections, and significant bark deterioration can indicate internal problems. A tree affected by extensive decay may be less capable of withstanding high winds. Professional assessment can help determine the tree’s condition and whether pruning, support, or removal is appropriate.

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.
