dont like tree menders personally. id go with either your name, or if you must go for a different name, dont try getting too creative. theres some pretty strange names out there and im pretty sure a lot of poeple regret it later on.

Keep it simple and dont use technical terms (general public wont know what the hell it means).
Think of what it will sound like as a web name too, and is the donain name still available?

We used to have a game at work where you had to think of comedy tree company names.

Have you ever, or will you ever, do anything to a tree that might be described as mending?

Personally, I chop bits off trees until the client is satisfied with the quantity of tree remaining. Thats why I'm a tree service.
