Suburban yard, purchased new in late 80s by my parents who always preferred lots with trees. By the time I moved in they hadn't thinned at all nor trimmed out of arm's length in that time; ball moss everywhere. I didn't get on it immediately partly because of my schedule and health, also because beneficial critters need somewhere to live and I personally don't like suburban neighborhoods cosplaying as golf courses.
But the smaller trees were being crowded out and the march of the ball moss continued and it was just time.
C and his brother ran late for the original consult but everything else was perfect. Polite, enthusiastic even though they work on some huge old heritage trees--BIG jobs for big names--and this was just a little cluttered lot, a day's work for a team when they usually require two. It was important to me when he said "this is what we love doing, going in and saving trees [for the long term]."
The day of? Smooth as glass. Missed one small thing on the list but did at least two others that weren't requested for the price quote. They cleaned up after themselves, they worked around circumstances, and they did that under their own steam because I was out of commission with a severe migraine.
Stump from the sizable cedar they removed? What stump? No tripping hazards here, and no possum picnic table kind of stump like another removal company left in my neighbor's yard.
It felt great hiring local, the price was fair, and we're happy with the results. read more
