It was time. We had a non-bearing fruit tree that was planted in our front yard by the developers of the HOA twenty-some-odd years ago. Our home was one of the three model homes in the subdivision but over the years, this tree slowly morphed into the leaning tower of Pisa. Occasionally, branches would get so heavy that they would break off. We had another similar tree in the backyard and we had some stumps to remove. All in all, there was a lot of work to be done. I reached out to Chandler Tree Service and one other company and Devon Chandler contacted me and we met on a Friday afternoon.
Devon's tree knowledge is impressive. If there was a category of Dendrology, scientific study of trees, on Jeopardy, Devon would sweep the board. He speaks with such passion about each tree, its tendencies, how it grows, and why it grows. I could even sense that if he put his hand on the trunk of the tree, he could feel its heart and soul.
He provided an estimate for all and he asked if I needed to speak to another service and I decided not to. We settled on a date and he provided an estimate via email.
Today was the day. The crew arrived with their foreman Ray. They huddled before getting started and systematically began work on phases simultaneously. One crewmember went to the backyard roped himself to the tree and began to execute a tier 2 trim while another crewmember began the work on the stumps. While in the front yard, a crew worked efficiently together to surgically chainsaw branches and feed them into the chipper.
They were all very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. After about 40 minutes, I brought each team member a cold bottle of water and thanked them for their work.
The end result is stunning. The front yard no longer has a leaning tower of a tree, the trimmed tree in the backyard looks amazing, and I can't wait to mow the backyard without the stumps.
If you have a tree problem, your first call should be to Chandler Tree Service. Devon and his team of experts are the A-Team. read more
