Shannon and his crew were outstanding. We wanted to get 3 quotes, and had two in hand, but I had trouble even getting a third tree services company to respond to my request for a quote. Then I found SCS's number. Shannon responded to my call immediately, and on a Saturday no less. He was at our home within 60 minutes to give us a quote.
The job included the cutting, removal and stump-grinding of 29 Leland cypress trees, 2 Bradford pear trees, a 60 foot tall pin oak tree, a large cherry tree, a moderate sized maple tree, plus 14 large holly bushes. SCS' crew worked hard and continuously for 3 and a half very hot days to complete the job on time, and they did a great job.
The crew cut and hauled off the pear, oak, cherry and maple trees. They pulled out the holly bushes by their roots and hauled those off. And they cut and chipped the cypress trees for mulch in preparation for our professional landscapers to use later in the summer.
When they had a problem with one of their bobcats, they had a replacement on site within an hour. And when a tree fell on part of our fence (despite the crew's attempt to keep it from doing so) SCS's crew had a replacement fence part on-site and installed at no charge within the afternoon of the tree falling.
The professional landscapers who later graded our backyard and then installed a paver patio, sod and thuja were impressed with the condition of the yard that SCS' crew had left for them to work with. They had no problems with working the site left by SCS into what now is a beautiful and functional backyard.
The best part is that Shannon's total price for the work was over $1,200 less than quotes we received from the other services companies, and the other companies hadn't even quoted the whole job that SCS did . . . they were only quoting 17 of the Cypress trees, the pin oak and the cherry tree.
BTW, Shannon looks the part of a tree guy, with the beard and all, plus he's from the upper peninsula of Michigan . . . but he's also a well-educated guy, having graduated from Rose-Hulman Institute, which is and excellent small engineering school in Terre Haute, Indiana.
We are highly pleased with the work SCS did for us, and are happy to count Shannon among the folks we'd be happy to have a cup of coffee or better with too. read more
