The July Fourth storm uprooted a large tulip poplar in our back yard and left it leaning against two others. We scrambled to find a service that could come out promptly, not knowing if the trees were stable. One company didn't call back; another did, but wasn't able to meet the price or timing that Hamby Tree Experts offered. Hamby sent a crew the next morning and surveyed the situation. They showed us how the uprooted tree had cracked the two it was leaning on, so those trees had to come out. We also had a dead tree in the corner of our lot that we asked them to cut down, and that entailed removing a smaller, mature oak. In the front, there was a huge tulip poplar with a large hole visible from the ground that we asked them to remove as well. It turned out the hole was nearly deep enough for me to crawl into--and the perfect home for a family of raccoons! Three babies were inside. The workers were able to remove two of them, but the third was having none of it. Hamby offered to leave that log section behind to give the little guy a chance to escape, and the workers will take it away the next time they're in the area. The whole operation took two days and involved a crane. The crew was professional, focused, and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Hamby Tree Experts. read more
