“Matt, Great meeting with you and having a very rapid response team on the job within 24 hours. Unheard of if you should ask me. The “gang of four” was polite, competent, obviously well trained and efficient beyond words. I was amazed at how well they worked as a team and how they worked safely as a group. I assume you got our check in good form. Many thanks for your work and it was our pleasure to have you see our site.”

“As the leader of the Narrow River Land Trust Stewardship Committee, I would like to offer my thanks to your company for the impressive job mowing the fields at Garrison Acres in South Kingstown….Peter Largess’ AKA Pine Tree Largess, skill with the mower, his knowledge as an arborist, and his polished interpersonal skills were evident as he preserved native plants including blueberry, tamed unruly, dense grasses, removed unwanted saplings, and negotiated with several board members! Your quick response allowed the field to be mowed before the ospreys returned to their nest and other important wildlife became active in the field. It was a pleasure to do business with a company that really cares, and is responsive. We look forward to doing business with you in the future. Rest assured Largess Forestry will be our first call for similar work in the future.”
James, Stewardship Committee Chair, March 2023
“They did an amazing job, thorough and careful. They even found a large branch on our old oak that was split in half and would have come down on the house if they hadn’t done such a complete inspection. They made a supreme effort to avoid stepping on any of my plants. Their cleanup was exemplary. I’ve never been so pleased with any landscaping work on my property.“
Wendy, South Kingstown Resident, August 2022
“Well, we had quite the adventure on Friday with the removal of the trees. I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated the professional, polite and kind behavior of your staff in this situation. Please let Julia, Johathan, Will, and J,P. know that their interactions with me and their hard work impressed me from the time they got here, until they were done. These are valuable employees for you and for your customers. Again, thanks for a job well done and that exceeded my expectations. I know that you kept asking me if I was happy, there was never anything that made me unhappy. I was impressed that your caring staff had my needs in mind. Having been an emergency nurse, I know that "stuff happens" and your employees behavior and work ethic was observed not only by me, but by my neighbors. They were also impressed.”

"We first heard about Matt Largess and his team at Largess Forestry when we moved to Jamestown, Rhode Island more than five years ago. His team came to us with glowing recommendations. Our home was surrounded by stately old trees that needed considerable care and attention. Matt and his wonderfully talented crew were masters of their arborist's craft. Each tree was lovingly and individually cared for, through thoughtful pruning, spraying and fertilizing to add many years to their already long lives.
Matt is passionate, talented, skillful and knowledgeable. Not only has he been instrumental in caring for our old growth trees, he has also been particularly creative and attentive to the planting of new trees. His team is extraordinary. Some are professionally certified and all are highly skilled and loyal to the forest. Matt has spent time mentoring the team. It is clear that they family.
Matt has been an advocate for returning the copper beach to our property and the island. The Largess crew planted a long row of two dozen 12-foot tall copper beeches as a hedge along with two 20-foot copper beeches, all of which remain very happy and growing beautifully.
Matt's fees have always been reasonable, his services reliable, his knowledge far ranging, he is true to his word, mentors his team well, and his enthusiasm for his work electric. Matt is undeniably a treasure of the forest. We are very blessed to have had his life's work shared with us, as will be anyone fortunate enough to cross his path. We can truly say that when Matt comes onto the property, we can almost hear the trees welcome him."
Christian and Pebbles, Jamestown Residents
"We are so pleased to have made the big change by removing those enormous trees and our specimen trees are already responding to the air and light, as am I. The guys did an amazing job, so very professional and accommodating too. It is hard and dangerous work and their skill on every level was outstanding. Our sincere thanks and appreciation!"
Pia, Jamestown Resident
