Farley Forestry and Soil is owned and operated by John Gardner, a professionally trained natural resource specialist with nearly two decades of experience in the field. John holds a Bachelor of Science from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, where he studied forest ecology and natural resources management.
His background includes more than half a decade of working in mine remediation projects across Idaho and New Mexico, along with experience in sand and gravel pit operations and environmental consulting. This work required precise planning, risk assessment, and adherence to strict safety and environmental standards—skills that directly inform how tree work is approached today.
That depth of experience means trees are evaluated thoughtfully, work is performed safely, and decisions are made with long-term outcomes in mind. The result is professional tree service focused on protecting structures, preserving property value, and minimizing unnecessary risk.
Feedback from Our Satisfied Customers
John removed a row of pine trees along my driveway and left the area looking better than when he arrived. I will hire him again.
