Highly recommended!
From the initial free estimate all the way through to completing the task, John was professional, respectful, and efficient. Even though this was not a big job, he treated it seriously. The main task was to prune 2 ornamental plums (older than 10 yrs), esp to trim branches away from overhead wires and clean up the inside branches a bit. I had my own ideas of what was needed. John talked me through it & made well-informed suggestions about shaping the trees over time. We quickly came to an agreed plan. I then asked him to add on 2 single tasks: removal of a dead tree next to a privacy fence, and sucker pruning for an elder apple tree. His technical knowledge about plant species, their growth habits and use in landscaping helped a lot. Although I don't know a lot about ornamentals and landscaping, I do have degrees in plant science and horticulture. I recognized his technical expertise, and was glad he was able to talk with me so easily. On the business side, John gave me a written estimate at the end of his first assessment visit. For the actual work, John came at the time promised and finished the work - including clean up - in half a day. The charges were well within the estimate. No muss, no fuss. I highly recommend Mossback Arboriculture, and would call them for help again. I wish I had taken before and after photos to share! read more
