"We initially thought that our hemlocks were going to have to be removed, based on some input from other companies. However, before making this move, we asked around and found that Jim was the person we needed to talk with. Jim came by our house to discuss the work, and it was obvious that he knows his subject matter, whether it's trees, shrubs, or other types of plan and their diseases. Jim recommended a process that did not involve removing the trees. He completed the project in a very timely fashion, and the trees are making a good recovery. While working on this project, we also asked Jim about pruning our redbud trees. He did a superb job of taking care of our redbuds. Jim is personable and easy to talk with, gets his projects done in a timely fashion, and does an outstanding job of explaining his approach to projects. We highly recommend him."

"Jim is an exceptional arborist and tree care specialist. He’s very knowledgeable, passionate about his work and dedicated to his clients. He‘s also a hell of a guy and an absolute pleasure to do business with. Last summer, my two crape myrtles were almost destroyed by the dreaded barkscale. The bark was completely covered in black mold; the leaves were dying off; and not a single flower bloomed. I thought they were a lost cause until Jim came to the rescue. One year and a couple treatments later, they are totally revived and absolutely thriving. Jim kept in touch between treatments and even stopped by a couple times to see how the crapes were doing. Truly exceptional dedication and client service. Most of all, Jim is a really good guy and a pleasure to be around. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else."

"Jim was recommended by our tree company to treat crape myrtle scale at our school. So glad they did! We will not call anyone else for tree care in the future."

"I.V. Tree care treated several sick maple trees in Richmond, VA. I text photos of the sick trees to the owner Jim. He diagnosed our trees as having gloomy scale. Jim recommended a treatment and emailed a quote for us to review. Highly recommend!"

"Jim has given life back to my ailing London Plane tree, which suffers from a few diseases. I also have learned so much about trees and proper care. It has been a truly rewarding experience having him care for the trees and shrubs in my yard. He takes time to explain treatments and care and is truly the most knowledgeable arborist I have ever met."
