James Scott, Arborist

Extremely unprofessional. We had an appointment with him and he didn’t show up. I waited for 30 minutes and called him, he said he could not make it (because it was father’s day, are you kidding me?). He did not even apologize or have the decency to let me know he would not be there. Don’t waste your time with him.

You should know that voicemail is not available, and there is no web presence – BUT he’s worth the wait. He and I were able to talk Tree Care, unlike most gardeners or landscape services. I know what needs doing, I just can’t do it. He was what I sought, someone who knew more than I about the trees I’ve grown. I wish I’d known of him two years ago!
We discussed the needs of the trees he was going to prune, pointed out that I had a severe whitefly invasion, and told me to hose off those citrus but good, to remove what was there (to allow the tree to get enough light for photosynthesis) and to remove what eggs could be removed. He also told me why certain root shoots needed to stay, and not to prune more than a third of the branch mass away, lest the tree go into shock and possibly die, neither of which I had known.
His price was good, he was quick and sure at what was needed, and the trees are healthier for it. Oh, and his consultations are at no charge (but if it’s a hot day, do offer him water or juice).
