I used Native Outdoor Maintenance to take down a tree at my house. I was uncomfortable with how close it was to the house because I was concerned that a hurricane might blow it onto the house.
Jason came out and assess the tree. He told me straight up that from what he has seen it didn't look like it posed a great risk, but you do never know for sure. He did not pressure me into any solution, but explained what the options were.
I really appreciate that in a tree guy, he obviously stands to make more money with a tree removal, but he is not the sort of guy that is out there to cut every tree down that he can. If there is a way to save the tree, he will let you know, and didn't pressure me into any solution.
I decided that I wanted the tree down, it would give me more peace of mind about high winds, and it would clear some very needed room in my small yard, and the leaves and branches would stop falling everywhere. So Jason gave me a quote for the removal.
Jason and his crew came out and had the tree cut down, hauled away, and stump ground in a day. There were branches hanging my roof, and he easily got them cut down and away without touching my roof.
He climbs the tree and ropes the cut off and then safely lowers it to the ground. He was very efficient and knew what he was doing, and had the equipment to do the job safely and efficiently, even though access to my yard was limited and you couldn't get a big rig anywhere near the tree.
A few months after the removal, I raked the wood chips from the ground stump away and there was some stump that still needed to be ground up. I called Jason and he came back and ground the stump again.
It was a job well done, a reasonable price, and I would definitely use them again next time. read more
