As a child, Andrew looked up to his father who owned a small tree service in Maryland and his mother who ran a small herb nursery, selling at farmers markets and landscaping. After college at Warren Wilson in Swannanoa, Andrew worked for the International Society of Arboriculture in the educational goods and services department. After a time in Illinois longing for the mountains, Andrew moved back to Black Mountain, started Wagner Tree Experts, Inc in 2008. Over the years, many challenging projects and experiences around Western North Carolina have shaped the experience and knowledge Andrew brings to every job. Whether its a consultation on new construction or planning renovation of a commercial site or homestead, Andrew has helped many clients make informed decisions about their trees.
