WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS
HAVE TO SAY

“I am very pleased to recommend Scott to anyone needing truly professional arborist services. Scott is an exceedingly knowledgeable man, with years of schooling and the best practical experiences you can ask for. He is very careful to make a thorough examination of the tree(s) requiring work, clear in explaining the options for dealing with the problem(s), and attentive to the owners' desires. But if you think you want A, and Scott believes only B will work, he will explain the differences in approach in an effort to help the owner get best value for their investment. If part way through a job, Scott discovers new evidence (which might affect his initial recommendation), he's not afraid to say "my first reaction was this, but after further work, I believe we should change to that".

Scott is a true gentleman in every sense. His business practices are completely transparent, and I would happily leave the house wide open under his watchful eye, and have no hesitation that our privacy and security had not been compromised. He is friendly and eager to talk about his work. In walking around our property, he made very helpful observations about issues we were too untrained to notice. He is a stickler for safety and works well with other trades who may be in the general area. We had one very large tree which required a crane and heavy truck to remove. Scott explained clearly that the size of that job was beyond his capabilities, but he worked very well with the crew we engaged to do that work. If he says he will be there at a certain time on a given day, you can count on him fulfilling his commitments. In one case, a family emergency delayed him; he called promptly to explain the situation

Bottom line - an A+ in every respect.”

Sincerely,
Nathan Hayward III
Former President of the of the Board of Directors at Longwood Gardens

"Scott Lussier, of Oakwood Tree Care Professionals has done extensive consulting work for us at Kennett Square Golf & Country Club for many years. Scott's work and reports are of the highest level of detail I have seen. Most recently he prepared bid specifications for a comprehensive tree project on the golf course. The work and expectations were clearly spelled out. The bids that we received for the project were easy to compare because of Scott's attention to detail. We continue to use these same specifications for all our tree work. "

Paul S. Stead, Certified Golf Course Superintendent Kennett Square Golf & Country Club Kennett Square, PA

"If you see great value in the trees on your property, and if you want them cared for by a highly skilled professional, the only person you need to call is Scott Lussier. Scott, the owner of Oakwood Tree Care Professionals, will talk to you in a manner that is easy for you to understand and he is a man who does what he says he is going to do and when he says he is going to do it. As a former arborist for Longwood Gardens, he has climbed and worked on some of the largest, oldest, most valuable trees in the Delaware Valley. There really is no one else in the Valley who should work on your trees, whether they are large shade trees or specimen ornamentals. You will not be disappointed."

Bill Simeral, Former General Manager, Landscape Services Terrain at Styers Concordville, PA 

“I met Scott on one of my projects several years ago, and I’ve been recommending him to my clients ever since. While exceptionally practical, he is in many ways academic with his incredible knowledge and experience, has the climbing skills with safety foremost on his mind, and the ability to always make his clients feel comfortable. We both love trees and want our clients to have the very best insured and certified professional to keep their trees thriving, so I will continue to refer him, whether up in the trees or as an expert witness in the courtroom.”

“We have been using Scott Lussier's firm Oakwood Tree Care Professionals for 10 years as our arborist on our 15 acre property. On our 15 acre property, we are lucky enough to have very many very old, extremely large, and very tall trees. We have found Scott to be indispensable to us in helping us to assess our trees and their health, pruning them when necessary, and removing them when we decide we need to do so. We are very reluctant to remove any of our beautiful trees and Scott helps us to determine when a tree or part of a tree is becoming a safety issue, and we simply have to replace it.  His pruning of our trees keeps them as healthy as they can be and he keeps them looking very nice. Scott is extremely easy to work with. He communicates very well. He is a very nice person.  He is very trustworthy.  I have never met an arborist as skilled as he is. If you're looking for an arborist to help you, I cannot imagine a better choice than to contact Scott Lussier and his Oakwood Tree Care Professionals.”
