RETIREE ENJOYS RELAXED LIFESTYLE IN RETIREMENT
Sinclair Weeks began his career in 1980, when he started
his own landscaping business and graduated with a degree
in plant sciences from the University of New Hampshire.
Later, he took landscape design courses at Harvard's
Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study before joining the
tree care industry with Hartney Greymont around 1990.
After Davey acquired Hartney Greymont, a Davey company,
in 2010, Weeks continued his work as a sales arborist at the
Needham office until his retirement in 2017.
According to Weeks, he wanted to continue his career with
Davey due to the company's values and esteemed reputation.
"We always had good crews and were able to provide
high-quality work," Weeks said. "It made my job easy
and enjoyable."
During his career, Weeks was able to become an ISA
Certified Arborist
®
, as well as do what he loves best –
interacting with and helping clients.
"I enjoyed being an arborist, making recommendations to
people, and then getting to see them be happy with our
work," Weeks said.

He said he doesn't have a favorite memory or project
because he became immersed in each one. In retirement,
he even continues to speak to some of his past clients.
"It's kind of nice not to be on the go all the time," Weeks
said. "Every day is a new challenge, but I'm in good shape
and I'm enjoying it."
When he isn't working on his property or meeting with past
clients, Weeks can be found spending time with his children
and three young grandchildren, as well as taking his boat
out on the water that he keeps docked in Rhode Island's
Narragansett Bay.
"I used to fish, but now I mainly enjoy simply taking the boat
out for the adventure of it all," Weeks said. "My grandkids
enjoy going out, too, as well as my kids, so I hope to keep
doing that for many years to come."
Weeks plans to stay located in the Boston area with his
wife to be close to his children and friends.
"I'm pretty happy with where I am now," Weeks said.
"I really enjoyed my career working with the people at
Davey, as well as getting to know our clients."
