I had a big old tree in my backyard that was more of a danger than anything recently. It was leaning dangerously close to the home after a storm so I called this tree service. Right from the beginning they were really responsive and easy to work with. They were there to check out the situation and described the tree removal process in a way that made sense and without trying to upsell unneeded services. The crew arrived on time on the day of the project and were very efficient. Most of all I liked that they were careful with my property and did not destroy the plants and structures near the tree when they removed it. They did the tree stump removal and left the yard clean and ready to use again. Also very helpful in advising me on future maintenance like tree cutting and pruning to avoid problems like this again. Service was smooth and professional and would be happy to use them again if I had need.
