Our previous tree service was too busy handling a large HOA association with hundreds of trees. After reading the reviews on Yelp, I called them for an estimate.
We had four very large trees removed in June, 2015. The temperature was over 110 degrees.
These guys earn their pay. The lead guy climbs trees and starts with the branches so that there is no damage when they fall.
The tree stumps were ground. You do not want to have tree stumps in your yard for years like the ghosts of Christmas past.
They rake and leaf blow their clippings at intervals so you feel confident that they'll leave the yard in a great condition at end of the job.
I gave the company a bonus in their check and tipped the workers individually. They worked hard over a two day period & they deserved it.
I'll be calling them again when the weather cools in order to plant some replacement trees.
Two thumbs up.
