OH How, I DON'T MISS The FINALLY REMOVED, CULPRIT Tree!…read more
Kathy, co-owner promptly emailed me to schedule next day visit for her Husband-Joe to give me an estimate. Joe was knowledgeable of all trees and plant/shrubs I had surrounding my home; I didn't even know what kind of culprit tree I had!--which was a Linden, at least 80 ft tall/taller than my two-level home; the darn tree was so annoying, grew sideways from back of home's "clearing"--had plagued me with last 13 Fall's overabundance leaves to be raked! I finally had a chance to have it taken down, as I now had the full property rights. Joe arrived promptly at 7 am as scheduled with his 3-men crew; instructed them of our agreed upon cutting down of additional on-site tree---along with no additional charge to the quoted priced: 1) trimming down of a small, adjacent tree bark/stump, 2) removed additional pre-existing log branch that was near the marked culprit tree-to-be-remove, 3) Joe had his crew dig up, for him to voluntarily take an unwanted, small decorative tree (which I forgot the name of) that he'd "recycle" into a bonsai-like tree to add to his re-purposed tree collection for his shed. As Joe also promised, he had his crew set up orange-cones and yellow-taped off small area of business parking lot behind my property, to ensure cars won't park where the culprit tree's branches may fall from the tree removal process, and to have his men remove those particular branches first, and sweep up afterwards.
Joe's 3-men crew: Foreman-David, Benjamin and Juan worked well together; cleaned and swept up the branches, wood chips . It was amazing to watch David rope-climb and chainsaw the branches down so smoothly and efficiently of the darn, Linden tree; there were no need of bucket truck to access the innumerable, pesky, small branches, or additional work trucks onto my property; David and his co-workers were done by 12:30 pm, and that included a 9:30 am, 20-30 minute coffee/breakfast sandwich break, which I treated them to nearby Dunkin Donuts in this drizzly, cold morning. (Unlike another Tree Company whom I contacted for estimate, and was quoted with a much-higher price with the need for bucket truck, that it would be 5-6 hours job because "there were so many small branches", and said that "all the other Tree Removal companies sucked").
I also treated these hard-working men to a hearty Parmesan meal at nearby pizza/pasta restaurant for lunch to show my appreciation for all their hard work! :-)
I would highly recommend you contact Butler and Sons for estimate for tree pruning/removal services !
