I've written reviews, and I've written recommendations. This one is both. I have had two experiences with Broadleaf; each was five star quality. My reasons for this rating started with the initial visit. Blake Mills, one of the two partners in the business, called to come over to view my project & offer a quote. He arrived a few minutes early. I had two big trees I needed removed. Both were diseased, and one threatened my house. He recommended removing a few trees. I had received a previous quote from another company recommending removal of over twenty trees. When I asked about some of them, he explained why their removal wasn't necessary or recommended. I was pleased that he did not try to oversell me. His quote was very reasonable compared with two others I had already received. I accepted, but on the scheduled day we received a couple of inches of snow. He called to say that the conditions would cause damage to my lawn, even with the protective pads he would put down. More importantly, the cold weather would increase the danger of injury to the crew. I agreed, so we rescheduled. He has a busy schedule, so he couldn't fit me in for over three weeks. Disappointing, but I'd rather hire someone with a lot of work as opposed to very little. As it turned out, he called within a few days to say he'd had a customer reschedule, and offered to come in just a couple more days. The crew consisted of three people. One was his business partner. They unloaded a diesel tractor with an arm and claw to carry the logs to the biggest chipper I've ever seen. One worker climbed the tree and dropped the limbs while the second cut them to size for the "claw". Very efficient, professional, and friendly guys. Second visit was to cut only one tree and pick up old fallen trees in the woods. Also three guys, this time including Blake. Still the same excellent service. Bottom line, I will call them in the future and highly recommend Broadleaf! read more
