    I was born in San Luis and lived in San Luis County all my life. We just had Bunyon Brothers come…read moreto our place today on Wilding lane in SLO and we couldn't be happier. From my first interaction with Ron Rennell a few days ago to his team coming today I was totally blown away. They are so professional! They listen to your thoughts, make suggestions, and get it done. His lead man was incredible! Very knowledgeable and professional. The entire crew worked in harmony with each other. I've been a business man for over 45 years in this county and am not easily impressed. These guys exceeded my expectations. 100% know you will be happy if you go with them. BRAVO!

    I waited a week hoping that I might feel better about the job they did, but every time I look at…read morethe way they hacked up the trees in my front yard I feel rage and sadness. We had 3 large Liquidambar trees in the front yard. My husband asked that they trim branches away from the street light/ power lines, and that they trim some of the lower branches. They cut and cut and cut. When I asked why they cut so much, I got told "your husband told us too". No, he didn't. Now I have what looks like 3 phone poles with some stuff on top. My shade is gone. The trees look like crap. And everyone at the company just told me, "don't worry, it will grow back". No it won't. Branches are gone. My father was in the nursery business for 50 years, he's never seen anything like it. It looks BAD. If you decide to have them do any work besides cutting a tree down, watch and approve of every cut.
