About the inventor of treegator®
Lambert Cissel, Jr.
Treegator® was invented and patented by W. Lambert Cissel, Jr. of Woodbine, MD.

The Cissel family has been in the landscape industry for well over 40 years as a grower of turfgrass and ornamental shade trees. Treegator® was originally designed to assist with summer digging in our wholesale nursery.

Soon after, knowledge of its stress reducing and time saving benefits created demand from contractors and nurseries in the Baltimore, MD area.
