I got an estimate from Hayward after 2 other companies gave their bid - Hayward was by far the cheapest. Removed a 25 year old pine tree that was dead in 1.5 hours. Ground stump but did not go deep enough, however and had to finish myself. Owner did estimate & the work - crew of 4 worked efficiently & took care. 3 of my neighbors came to get a bid while he was working. Highly recommend using Hayward.
