Dave Kennedy is the ultimate professional arborist. He is a consulting arborist and knows everything about trees that there is to know. Whatever he says, you can trust. He's been my arborist for over 10 years and I've referred him to many people.

David Kennedy has done my tree pruning for several years now. Before finding Kennedy's, I had engaged other companies for jobs big and small with mixed results. David is sincere, thorough, and patiently explains what he proposes to do and, most importantly, why. I have watched him at work on some of my trees and it is clear that he is thoughtful and deliberate in his work. Most trees will outlast us mortals, so it is imperative to maintain their good structure and health. David's priority is the long-term viability of the tree, not to just make a buck. You can find someone to prune a tree for a

David Kennedy is a wealth of knowledge and information about trees. He has been treating my ash tree now for over ten years and the tree looks great. He has also done pruning on my maple, chokecherries and yellowwood, all of which look fantastic. David truly loves what he does and is a very skilled arborist, which separates him from other companies who are guilty of lion tailing, topping, and other dangerous practices that end up costing the owner more money when the tree fails.

He was right. Dave took on the challenge, assessing wood samples for diagnosis of infestation and soil samples to improve living conditions for the tree, which clearly had several problems. Today the tree still stands tall and, although it will

I have used Kennedy's Arboriculture for more than twenty years. Mr. Kennedy has removed trees and done periodic pruning. He has also been treating our ash tree ever since the emerald ash borer has caused such devastation, and the tree is still healthy. He is very knowledgeable and can be trusted to do a professional job.

I have personally seen David Kennedy at work on my property for over 15 years for some much needed tree care. He is very safety minded, knowledgeable and skilled in all processes of tree care. I would certainly have David back for more tree care as the need arises.
