“This beautiful hundred year old oak of ours had to come down a year ago after James Goodrum pronounced it dead…he was part scientist and part grief counselor, which I guess is what great arborists are.” - Ms. White, Piedmont (Nov, 2022)

“James, Thank you. Your involvement has brought a clear sense of professionalism, confidence, and trust in the tree management system by Board Of Directors and owners.” - Cliff Bates, Jean Bates & Associates, Inc. (April, 2021)

“This consultant is everything that is advertised. Knowledgeable, honest, and on time. We highly recommend him for any arborist questions you may have. We would use him again.” Mr. A, Orinda (Dec 2020)

“Our family would highly recommend James. He was punctual and couldn't have been more knowledgeable or friendly. We learned so much about our trees and feel very prepared to make decisions on pruning, removing and adding trees to our backyard. He followed proper mask and social distancing recommendations too. Hiring James was an great decision!” Mrs. D, San Mateo (Oct 2020)

"Excellent work. More often than not, Arborist Reports are vague, confusing, and far too brief. Not to mention elementary. This is one of the most thorough and professional reports I have had the pleasure to read. Great work." - Kenny Klingele - Owner, Kings Mountain Arbor Health & Safety Inc. (August 2018)

"James was always extremely professional, polite and organized...his report was very detailed and well written, supported by references to books and papers. He also explained every step of his assessment and provided a ton of information about what a good vs bad tree looked like and why his assessment concluded my tree was in overall good shape. I will definitely work again with James in the future and strongly recommend him to anyone looking for arborist services." - Mr. A, Fremont (June 2018)

"A true professional. James is a delight to work with. Very thorough, full of information grounded in arboricultural science and will take time to answer all your questions." - Mrs. S, San Francisco (Sept 2017)

"James is an outstanding arborist, he really knows his stuff and takes the time to explain things in detail so you know what to expect. His friendly approach is something I really appreciate and is always keen to help you understand the details in a very helpful way. He's incredibly reliable and quick to respond, whether it's giving a consultation or managing the whole job from start to finish." Mrs. T, San Mateo (Sept 2017)
