Testimonials

  • The City of Burlington used Treefull Communities LLC twice for tree inventories. John was excellent every step of the way. He was more than willing to help us, even before he was hired. Upon hiring, John was efficient, knowledgeable and courteous. If the opportunity to work with John arose in the future, we would not hesitate to do so.

    Kristi Farrell Sustainability (City of Burlington)
  • John guided us through every step of our city’s tree inventory and made it a simple enjoyable project. What sets John apart from other arborists is his knowledge and experience of the Urban and Community Forestry Program which is invaluable when implementing grant funding. John was very responsive throughout the project and delivered a great product. We still call on John for advice and guidance as we expand our Forestry Management Program and look forward to working with him again on future projects.

    Kevin Krouse Planning Director (City of Bessemer City)
  • John is a very knowledgable and thorough arborist; his involvement from the onset with the Ayden tree planting project proved very beneficial in our quest to be a Tree City USA

    Adam Mitchell Town Manager (Town of Ayden)
  • The Town of Edenton was pleased with John's work. He designed a tree inventory program for us. He conducted the initial inventory and taught our landscape supervisor how to utilize the software to maintain and update the inventory. John is passionate about his work and is enjoyable to work with

    Anne-Marie Knighton Town Manager (Town of Edenton)
  • We loved John Sugg and feel he did an excellent job of working with our board, commissioners and town staff

    Linda Gillman CAE-Administrator (Town of Sylva)
  • John was the best choice to lead our tree inventory project. Not only was his knowledge of trees extremely impressive, but I learned a lot just by being around him. We were really happy with the inventory report and Urban Forest Management Plan he produced and have planted many trees in the planting spaces he identified. He is a conscientious worker and is clearly passionate about what he does. We would rehire John in a heartbeat.

    Andy Piper Senior Planner (City of High Point)
  • John's knowledge of the grant programs made the application process of becoming a Tree City USA easy to understand and navigate. His efforts leading up to our Arbor Day ceremonies insured that they went off smoothly. We look forward to working with John on the upcoming tree inventory project and we are confident that the project will be run effectively.

    Charlie Yokley Town Planner (Town of Clayton)
  • John has been very instrumental in our tree program. Without John's help we would of been lost. He is very professional and knowledgable about trees. The Town of Chadbourn has relied heavily on him from the very beginning of our Tree City application process. We hope to continue with him while we try to maintain our Tree City status.

    Bobbie Jordan Town Clerk/Finance Officer (Town of Chadbourn)
  • John Sugg has been instrumental in developing the "Growing Snow Hill" community forestry program over the past 5 years. His pragmatic approach has allowed the town to go from concept to inventory, obtain grants, hold tree care workshops, establish a good management program, and so much more. We are now pretty well self directed in maintaining our tree inventory. With John's help, Snow Hill is now ending its fourth year as a Tree City USA and 3 straight Growth Awards. In addition, the town has just completed another successful year with John conducting a "Tree Friendly Development Practices" presentation for our Tree Board and members of the Planning Board, Historic Preservation Commission, real estate and local contractors invited. I commend John for his work and dedication. He exceeds expectations and I recommend his services to other communities.

    Bob Clark Town Administrator (Town of Snow Hill)
  • John Sugg has been a tremendous asset to the Town of Grifton. He has helped the Town of Grifton significantly in developing a comprehensive tree program and tree inventory. Mr. Sugg was instrumental in assisting the Town in becoming a Tree City USA and helping the Town to continue that designation. The Town of Grifton has been fortunate to have Mr. Sugg’s help with a variety of Urban Forestry Grant projects in the Town of Grifton, and the Town looks forward to a continued partnership with him in the future. His experience and expertise in urban forestry programs and tree care and maintenance are a valuable asset to any client.
