Dixie Tree Service

Do not use this service for live trees. Alex Nicholson and his staff uses tree spurs to do their climbing. This is in direct violation of the ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) code of ethics of which he is a member. The ISA says that spurs and tree spiking is for dead trees only. Nicholson wants to have it both ways: he attracts and charges accordingly because of the ISA certification, but uses the spurs to cut to the clock to maximize profit and the risk to your trees be damned. We now have 4 out of the more than 20 trees pruned infected with black turpentine beetles (bark beetles) due to the wounds left from the spiking. So now we have a much bigger problem than the one we were attempting to address. In addition, in their hurry, Dixie Tree damaged 3 other trees (one with a bobcat) in order to finish at 4:00 in the afternoon.
