Forever Green Arborist, LLC was born from a deep understanding of what trees truly need to thrive, especially in the unique soil conditions of McLean, Virginia.

Jack J. Goehring III, our founder, spent decades observing the challenges trees faced in Northern Virginia, particularly the impact of compacted clay soils on their health. He realized that while many companies offered a broad range of tree services, few specialized in the foundational element of tree vitality: proper nutrition.



Driven by a passion to make a tangible difference, Jack dedicated himself to mastering the science and art of tree fertilization. This journey led him to develop his proprietary 'Green Magic' tree and shrub feeding pellet formula. This isn't just an off-the-shelf product; it's a custom nitrogen/phosphate/potash blend, refined over 30 years of "smart farmer" level experience in the field.

The 1-inch diameter pellets are specifically designed for deep, slow-release feeding directly into the root zone, using simple light weight ground-based pellet installation tools to ensure precise placement. This focused, scientific approach is what sets Forever Green Arborist apart, allowing us to deliver exceptional results without the need of heavy trucks, or equipment.

We specialize in serving residential homeowners in McLean with mature, high-value trees. We also serve commercial properties like office parks, medical campuses, HOAs, schools, churches, and senior living facilities. Our ideal trees have good structure and reasonable root access. We are not a fit for trees already structurally unsound or severely declining.

Our reputation in McLean, Tysons, and Great Falls, VA, is built on consistent, visible results and the trust we've earned from our customers.

I remember a call from a homeowner near Langley High, worried about their mature oak, a real centerpiece of their 1940s brick Colonial. It had barely leafed out that spring, looking thin and stressed after a tough winter. After my personal site walk-through, I explained how years of compacted soil and nutrient depletion were starving it. We applied the Green Magic formula, and by late summer, the canopy was full and vibrant again, the owner telling me they hadn't seen it look so healthy in years.

Homeowners across McLean, VA choose Forever Green Arborist, LLC for clear communication, careful installation, and lasting results.

While fertilization supports tree health over seasons and years, it's important to understand that it's not an overnight transformation. Expect results to manifest over one to several growing seasons, with annual or multi-year maintenance cycles recommended for sustained health. Fertilization supports health but cannot eliminate risk or guarantee outcomes; some trees may continue to decline despite appropriate nutrition. Jack will always be direct about what you can expect.
