We recently completed work at Loose Park and Mill Creek Park. I have a few photos of the trees
in Mill Creek Park I would like to share. Mill Creek Park is on the East side of the Country Club Plaza. This is another iconic Kansas City park, with some interesting large, old trees.
This work is part of the fourth contract I have landed for Arboretum/Park pruning in KCMO.
Vanbooven Arborist Luke Becker-Pruning the first tree at Mill Creek Park, a huge , old Ash tree.
Pictured below: VanBooven Arborist Chris Brewer pruning a large, old double trunked Black Oak.
We removed some large hazardous deadwood and also reduced significant portions of the canopy.
Pictured below-Another shot, from a distance, of the same double trunked Black Oak.

Luke is not only an ISA Certified and Kansas Certified Arborist, he also has a degree in Horticulture
from Kansas State University.
Below-One of the giants of Mill Creek Park-This Red Oak is over 80 feet tall, with a massive trunk.
Below-Pruning a large, mature Elm-this tree needed quite a bit of work, looked great when we finished it!.
Below-Another shot of the first grouping of trees we started in at Mill Creek Park.
Below-I am always on the lookout for cool or unusual looking trees-this Mulberry growing along the walking trail does not disappoint.The large burls-shape and texture, make for an interesting photo.
Below-The same burled Mulberry being pruned!
Last photo below- I really like this one-A shot of the fountain running, with happy, freshly pruned trees.
Most days I have the greatest job in the world-we are always grateful for the opportunity
to work on Arboretum/Park trees. Shout out to Alice Hannon-KCMO Urban Forester for all of her
help and guidance on these projects. Thanks to Chris Brewer, Luke Becker and D'Angelo Hicks for putting in the time and expertise to make this project another VanBooven Tree Care success story.
