Hilltown Tree and Garden

Jim is truly such a talented arborist and horticulture practitioner. He has helped us on multiple projects for our home and our buisness. The whole team are experts of holistic solutions to tree and garden issues. Could not recommend Hilltown more!

We had a dead tree that was a hazard to our home and we needed a good certified arborist first to examine the tree and help us with the permit with our town. Jim McSweeney is that certified arborist and his company removed the tree that put our home in danger very skillfully and professionally. They were like surgeons going in and being very careful to not harm other trees and also adhere to all of our town's rules on tree removals. They also helped us with two fallen trees that had been uprooted in the November winds, leaving giant holes in the ground when the root pod lifted out. They were able to cut the fallen trunk in precisely the right spot that let gravity right the tree and tip right back into it's natural hole, preserving the environment and making the ground safe for us to w

Jim came out to our home for a consultation regarding the trees on our wooded property. He spent almost two hours with my husband and I and we did a full walk-a-bout of the space. He told us about the tree species on the land, perspectives on the health of the trees, and conditions to consider when and if we decide to do tree maintenance and removal. There was no pressure at all to sign on for the next stage of service, but he gave us an approximate estimate on the work we thought we might be interested in having him do (and what he thought we might pay if we moved forward with removing a larger tree that would necessitate us needing to do work with a company that had a Big Truck). The price of the experience was very reasonable, given the time he spent with us and all we learned. I'll loo

I contacted Jim via email with concerns about an sick lilac bush and request to hire him for diagnostics and/or treatment. He called me back within a few hours and we had a very pleasant and informative phone call, in which he offered excellent advice based on my photos and description of the issue. He told me that what I was seeing was normal for a wet year, and my best course of action was to do nothing. I am impressed with his honesty, frankness and clear horticultural knowledge. I know from others (and the photos on his website) that Jim does beautiful in-person landscaping and arborist work. His willingness to help out his Hilltown neighbors and share his professional expertise on the phone is a testament to what a fine person and community member he is. I hope I have the opport

From the start to the conclusion of our tree and ornamental shrub project with Hilltown Tree and Garden we were extremely pleased. We met with Jim, the principal, and within minutes of beginning to talk with him we sensed that we would be in good hands. He spent well over an hour walking the property with us, demonstrating his deep knowledge of trees and detailing the sorts of things he would recommend we do to preserve and enhance the care of our new property. He provided a detailed written estimate (it was not inexpensive) and went carefully through each item with us. Each and every person who worked on our property (and it was a big job that spanned several weeks) was cordial, quiet, careful and considerate in addition to being genuinely friendly. Jim was in touch frequently and ca
