Testimonials

Why people choose us

and what they say about us

I have never met a team who care so much about what they do and who they are doing the job for. Their knowledge and expert advice was brilliant. They helped us plan our rebuild around the existing trees by assessing the trees and made recommendations of other species that would go well on our property. I would highly recommend James and his team. ! David B.

I would highly recommend James and his team for advice and information about trees. They arrived on time, listened to our needs and were very knowledgeable and friendly. James’ passion for trees and the environment shows through in his work ethic. We’ll definitely engage them again in the future. ! Claire W.

We consulted James when we had problems with a large poinciana tree on our property that had lost a large limb. He diagnosed the problem and made recommendations on pruning and treatment to save the tree. We then consulted him on several occasions about trees on our property and he was brilliant. He is such a friendly, knowledgeable guy and we can’t recommend him highly enough. ~ Desley G.
