I highly recommend Claytons Tree Services. Very professional people.
Tim explained to the crew what trees were to go and others for pruning.
and a lot of old shrubs to come out. It was amazing to see these guys work. Excellent job! Thank you very much.

I was a neighbor of someone who used this company to take a tree down that was in the middle of our properties. While they were taking this tree down they proceeded to completely wipe out every wild blueberry bush and nature fencing 10ft on our property and from our shed all the way to our tree line 100ft. WITH NO PERMISSION FROM US. We called numerous times and they did nothing to correct it. I would NEVER use a company that treats other people this way.

Highly recommend calling Clayton Tree Service for tree removal. They were on time for an estimate and drew it up right then and there. Since they were already in town for a job, they came back later after we decided to go ahead with them for the job (their estimate came back significantly less than another local company). The job (removing 3 trees, grinding stump) was complete in about 45 minutes. It was clear that they were knowledgeable about what they were doing. They also cleaned everything up. Would definitely use them again. Thanks for great service, Tim and everyone!
