About

David McIlwain has been an avid outdoorsman for much of his life, despite having worked in New York City for over 20 years. In 2012, when Hurricane Sandy struck the area, David’s family home was among one of the worst hit in the area. His family lost over 60 large and mature trees. David decided to focus his efforts on removing the trees and helping neighbors clean up from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy.

After removing over 100 trees and their very large stumps, David and his crew re-planted lawns, trees and shrubs and worked with clients to design and install gardens around their homes. Helping friends and neighbors recover from Sandy led to the creation of Harmony Tree Care LLC and a separate landscaping business.

During the winter months, when not removing snow for clients and installing Christmas lights, a personal passion, David spends significant time at Rutgers and other universities and at Tree Care, Turf and other conferences taking courses so he can bring clients the latest thinking in local tree service care, plant healthcare and landscape management fields.

David and the Harmony team are dedicated to meeting the needs of his neighbors in the Bernardsville and Summit areas, serving clients from Short Hills to Far Hills and the immediate surrounding areas.

David and team would love to know how they can help you with your tree, shrub and lawn care needs!
