The Building and Construction of Tree Houses
About Tree Top Builders
Tree Top Builders has been safely putting people in the tree houses of their dreams since 2003. Our first treehouse project is still standing, in terrific condition and the host tree is doing great. Fast forward to today, Tree Top Builders has built over 100 tree houses; our best-in-class treehouse building practices have matured and our tree houses are even safer, better and longer lasting. Years of building custom tree houses has unleashed our creativity - now you can expect a fantastic tree house built of diverse materials and attached with care to the tree house's living foundation. Your tree house will compliment your landscape and blend in with the natural environment. Our expertise in the building and construction of tree houses makes our tree house projects the most practical, beautiful, unique, and most importantly, the safest tree houses possible.
Leaders in Tree House Construction
Tree House Construction is known to be many centuries old, but only in the last couple decades have companies started building custom tree houses as their primary business activity. Building a tree house is easy, but building a safe, long-lasting, and tree-friendly tree house requires expertise and professional competence. We have grown adept at working around natural, treehouse specific, building challenges such as leaning trees, uneven terrain, great heights, or branches passing through the floor, walls, railings, and/or roof of the tree house.
We care about building quality custom tree houses - it is our passion and life's work. It sounds simple, but you should not assume all would-be treehouse builders offer the same approach. As tree house experts, we regularly maintain and repair tree houses. The sad reality is many treehouses we're asked to repair were built by other “professional” treehouse builders. Buyers beware, because a great website and good salesmanship do not mean a well-intended builder or company has the expertise to build a quality custom tree house. We believe that honesty, integrity, patience, and technical competence are paramount. Do not take these for granted when interviewing a tree house builder. You have to care for trees when building treehouses and do what is best for the tree each step of the way. Remember, a treehouse typically only lasts as long as it's host tree. Often, by the time we are called in to assess and repair an old tree house, the trees have greatly suffered. It takes insight and experience to know how the tree and treehouse will interact over time; that's what we bring to each and every tree house project.
Tree Houses and Family Safety
On a more personal note, safety for all treehouse inhabitants is always on our minds at each step of the treehouse construction. Dan and Gary each have families with two young boys. The boys like to visit local treehouses, climb ladders, ride zip lines, use the climbing walls and bounce across the rope bridges. They grab tools and “help” build the treehouses because that's what their daddies' do. When all four boys are together at one tree house, they run around testing every section of the tree house for weaknesses. We have spent so much time with our kids at various tree houses, that we know what makes a safe and fun kids' treehouse. We take the building and construction of tree houses very seriously. We build each and every kids' treehouse like it was being built for our kids to play on and grow into, and that's why you can trust that even our most basic kids' tree houses have mom's and dad's safety seal of approval.
