WORTH EVERY PENNY
Roger has an artist's eye for trees, they look beautiful and balanced after he trims them. He gives you professional advice, skill and labor. His initial walk through explained exactly what would be done and he provided a written estimate. Crew marked street work area off with orange traffic cones. They were careful of property, removed and rehung 11 bird houses and three hummingbird feeders with care. Watched out for an old nearly blind neighborhood cat. Were kind and courteous. The crew worked on trees around entire property (3/4 acre with some 60yo trees) removed limbs hanging over home, greenhouse, veg. garden and driveway. Shaped and removed dead from trees, removed one dead tree and all debris, even bag worms. Left absolutely zero debris after completion. Trimmed for two other neighbors while here, because they were impressed with the work. Even cut and piled logs up for my wood burning neighbor to retrieve.
Ten years ago I called the fire department because a cat was up in a tree for almost a week. It was October and raining. Fire departments do not rescue cats in trees. A firefighter recommended I call a GOOD tree service, then recommended TREES-R-US. Who doesn't trust a firefighter? I called Roger. IN the pouring rain, he and another man on his crew drove in from ZANESVILLE. Roger CLIMBED THE TREE IN THE RAIN and gently coaxed the cat until she jumped onto a tarp he had us all hold under the tree. Three years later when the city of Gahanna forced residents to remove ash trees because of ash borers, I called Roger to McKenna's Creek at the Crossing. Except for the mulch from stump grinding left to settle into the spots where the trees had been, everything was spick and span.
Yes, these men play the radio while they work. Yes, it takes a while to make it onto their list, especially when we've had inclement weather. Yes, Roger is taciturn and abrupt. But he climbs your trees like a young kid and is as an adept tree professional as any homeowner would want. Who cares how they work, or if their hours are odd? When they leave it's as if they were never there and your trees look fabulous. read more
