One customer said Nick arrived on time to assess their trees, explained in plain language what he found, including the first signs of woolly adelgid in two hemlocks, and proposed treating them without spraying. That customer said he came back a few days later to do the work, planned a fall visit to check the results, and charged what seemed a reasonable price, much lower than the cost of removing even one of the trees. A customer with a sick beech tree said Nick responded quickly, explained his recommended treatment plan and was quick to get treatment started. A customer said he fertilized their trees and advised on what to do with a section of dying hemlocks to support regrowth. A customer said Nick selected and planted apple trees in their yard and helped improve the health of a favorite sugar maple.
