Desmond is an earnest guy and I appreciate the business he's creating, but I was very unsatisfied with his work. This was partially due to poor expectation-setting (on both our parts), and partially because he left the job less than half-finished. My yard had gotten away from me. I pointed out the weeds growing through cracks, overgrown hedges, and an unruly lawn that was more dandelion than grass. Desmond walked around the property twice before he gave me a quote to get me back to baseline. It was high and he seemed unable to itemize it, but I know that weeding dandelions is a demanding task, so I agreed. He returned with his family and set about working. 2.5hrs later, he rang the doorbell and said they had an issue with their babysitter and had to go, but that he'd be back early the next day to finish. The work that had been completed so far included mowing the front yard (typically a 30min project), pulling weeds out of half a flowerbed, and edging the lawn. He had also gotten rid of grasses that were outside the property line I had laid out during our walkthrough, and thus not part of the project. The backyard, hedges, weeds, and other flowerbeds were untouched. It did not appear to be 5hrs' (2.5x2 people) worth of work. He also left a mess of clippings around the house, and threw his daughter's juice box in the yard waste bin. A portion of the house was splattered with dirt that had been sprayed up from a machine. I asked about the dandelions in the yard and the weeds growing through cracks and he said he had no idea that they were part of the project, and thus weren't included in the quote. After a discussion to reset expectations, I agreed to a slightly lower quote because I didn't want to rip him off if he was working with the expectation of the higher rate for less work. I revised my request (no more dandelion removal), paid him half of the new quote for the day, and we agreed on the expectations for the second half of the project that'd take place the next day. That was 2 weeks ago (on June 14th, 2022) and we haven't heard from him since. From where I'm standing, he took a payment of twice what the work was worth and ran. I'm sorry we had such a miscommunication, but going forward, consider spending more time in the expectation-setting phrase and putting proposals in writing. And if there are delays, communicate that with your client. And if you're considering Green City, make sure payment is delivered *after* the service is complete. read more

They did a great job, were available within the week and gave me a great price. They were very responsive to my questions and needs.

Des and Offa did a fantastic job helping us with our tree needs. Originally I requested an estimate for just our birch tree in the backyard which had a ton of dead branches and was "balding" in the center. But upon a further walk through Des said he could help clean up our rhodendra, ferns along the front of the house, clean up our hydrangea which had a ton of dead branches and leaves. He noticed a vine was choking the hydrangea and hedge in front and ripped it out. He also noticed our Douglas fir tree in the front was getting too full and needed a shape up at the bottom. He was able to quote me an agreeable price for all the services and included clean up. This was on Saturday, and he was able to come on Monday with Offa and complete the job. You can tell Des and Offa take pride in their business and their work. We will be using them for years to come. Highly recommend! read more

Dez and Offa did a wonderful job. They came over to remove a tree, which they completed safely and efficiently. They gave me the 16" logs for burning as requested and left the site very clean. I asked them to quote another project. Our site has a creek, and the street side was very, very overgrown with ivy and bramble thicket. It had not been tended for a long time. I asked them to remove the ivy and lower limbs on 3 Cedars and clean out the bramble thicket along the creek banks and pull back the ivy. Not only am I very pleased with the result, my neighbors have also let me know what a wonderful job Green City Tree Care did. I would absolutely have them back and wholeheartedly recommend them. read more

We highly recommend Green City Tree Care. They were very quick to respond and were able to work quickly. We had a stump removed and two large hedges. They worked very hard in the heat and cleaned up really well. Liana and Desmond were really easy to communicate with and extremely kind and friendly. We highly recommend this company! read more

A large branch broke partially off a tree in my front yard. After onsite evaluation, we agreed to a price since the branch was much larger than it looked in the pics I sent previously. Des was prompt and in constant communication with me regarding plan and schedule. Their team came up with a removal plan and executed in a safe manner which was very important to me. They were meticulous about clean up and my yard was left in great condition. They were very respectful to me and my property. I will have them back to do additional work at my house! read more

Their professional staff arrived at the agreed to time. The work was done to our complete satisfaction. Would put Green City Tree Care in the top 1% of companies we've used in this area. Delighted with the work! Thank you. read more

We hired Desmond for Bamboo tree removal after reading good yelp reviews about this company. He did not do a complete job of removal. The tree roots were still left behind to grow. He has been unresponsive to our repeated follow up questions. This was a very disappointing and frustrating experience. Do NOT recommend this company. read more

Awesome people, fast, considerate, professional. They did amazing work. Fair pricing, great cleanup. Dez and his crew were as good as we could've hoped for. We would 100% call on them again. read more

Good service, they come to my home in time. Helped me to remove 12 tree roots. Also the price is the lowest. They brought the grinding machine and worked very efficiently. Very nice guys. read more

This tree service is fast and efficient. I'll definitely use this company again next winter.

These guys did a great job pruning about 3 feet off the top of some very tall laurels that run the length of our property. They checked in throughout the job to ensure it turned out just how we wanted it and they worked quickly and efficiently. Overall, we are super pleased and will definitely be calling them again next year. read more

Des was super quick to respond, sent me his cell so I could text photos for an easy quote, and was available same day. He showed up on time and was incredibly efficient. My husband offered to help load our branches into his truck, and quickly realized that Des didn't need his help hahaha he was fully capable!! He was quick and cleaned up the smaller sticks and debris when he left. I will absolutely call him for future work. read more

Every once in awhile we need some old broken junk hauled away. I have talked to several different companies for quotes who all came back with similar prices and timing. Dez is the best person who I have worked with for this type of service. He was prompt in responding, more reasonably priced compared to the rest and was able to come out the same day to help clear our junk away. He was a few minutes ahead of his scheduled arrival, really friendly and focused on providing great customer service. He had things taken care of quickly and cleanly. I would highly recommend his service and I will reach out to him again in the future too! read more

Green City was able to start working on some tree trimming and removal very quickly and they got everything done exactly how I wanted.

These guys are great. Incredibly responsive and communication was always quick and professional. The removal was as expected and the crew was professional and kind. Highly recommend! read more

I mostly communicated with Liana, who was very responsive and easy to work with. The crew came out pretty much the next day after I spoke with them, which was amazing, seeing as my car was stuck. They did a great job, cleared all the wood and branches for what seemed like a reasonable price. There was some miscommunication and they didn't see that there was a different branch on a different side of the house. Dez ended up coming out a different day and we were able to negotiate a fair price for them to actually cut down the other tree (instead of just getting rid of the branch for cheaper), as it was growing a bit crooked because it was in some sloped ground. They gave me a little discount and left burnable wood neatly piled in my yard, cleared the branches. Would highly recommend them! Very patient and kind people. Got the work done quickly and did a great job! read more

I was looking to have an old couch taken away. I was living in Seattle and didn't notice they were based out of Auburn, which is a drive and gas is high. After realizing this, I was going to cancel and get a closer company but they insisted it was fine so I kept the appointment. The only hiccup was they arrived a little over half an hour past the appointment time but they had also driven a ways, so I brushed it off. Overall, they were very nice, affordable and accommodating. read more

Impressed by their quick response and great quote. They called to let us know that they were going to be late. Once they arrived, they quickly set to work and did an amazing job. We needed ivy and blackberries removed to the ground on a rather steep incline. The cleared everything, cleaned up the debris and hauled it away. Impressive!! read more

Quick to respond, and quoted a great price. Dez and his crew were friendly and had the job done quickly.

Great experience. They came out within 24 hours after contacting through Yelp - on a Sunday - to cut off some of the lower branches. They communicated with us very well throughout to check exactly which branches they should cut. Very reasonable price, too, for a lot of work. We'll use them again. read more
