I called Gary after other "arborists" tried to help my trees. Both had burn from salt spray and one had be hit by a car and was severly distressed. He knew instantly what to do - deep fertilization and a trimming to reduce stress. The trees perked up and even the one that was damaged got new growth. Unfortunately, the heat spell we had while we were traveling put too much stress on the damaged tree and it didn't survive.
Gary made several suggestions for a tree more appropriate to the coastal area. We chose a bottle brush and he took out the old tree, planted the bottle brush, and took care of my other trees (fertilize and trim) - all while we were traveling so we came home to a healthy front yard.
During this whole process which took about a year (for the damaged tree to die - we got another year out of it), Gary was responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend Gary for any tree work and garden design.
