At Tree Worx, we are more than a team, we are family. Respect, loyalty and professionalism are top traits we look for among our staff.
Leadership
Hannes de Wet
Co-Owner
Hannes, born in South Africa, started Tree Worx, LLC prior to graduating from University of Tennessee Chattanooga with a degree in Entrepreneurship. Within two years, Hannes was able to strike out on his own with Tree Worx on a full-time basis. Now 10 years into growing the business, Tree Worx, LLC has become Chattanooga’s premier tree service.
Hannes enjoys spending time with his wife, Liz, and their growing family. They welcomed their first son this year.
Duane Blomberg
Co-Owner
Duane gained his love for tree work at the age of 10, when his grandfather taught him to drive a skidder on the sites of his logging company. After gaining degrees in both auto and diesel mechanics from Chattanooga State, he took that engrained love of tree work and started his own tree care company in 2012.
He is married to Whitney and they have one daughter, Ila James. If Duane isn’t in a tree, you can find him on the basketball court or spending time with his family.
