Sunset Tree Service did an outstanding job removing our large oak tree that had fallen into the lake and another that was leaning that way. Dave was very responsive and his crew cleaned up the area so well you couldnt even tell they had been there! Will definitely be using Sunset again!

Sunset Dave and his crew are incredible! They handle the toughest of jobs with professionalism and expertise. They arrived on time, carefully analyzed the trees and work area, figured out a work plan then got to work and got the job done. Very friendly crew to talk with and watch them work, they make it look easy, but I can state from firsthand experience that it is not. Tree work is extremely dangerous brutal tough physical work that requires a high degree of knowledge, safety practices and expertise. I do some tree and trail building work around my land with excavator, track loader, saws etc

Sunset just completed removing three trees and trimming quite a few others.I was so impressed with their professionalism that I wanted to write a review, something I rarely do. They were a whole new breed of tree enthusiasts . They were respectful of us and of our trees. They were also knowledgable and "spoke tree."I felt they worked well as a team and completed the job quickly - paying attention to detail and clean-up. They worked hard to prune exactly as I wanted while being mindful of what was best for our trees. I highly recommend them.

Sunset Tree Service came to our yard yesterday. We are very happy with their professional work, tree trimming, tree removal and they even cut the big logs into 16 inch pieces for firewood. The price was good and we even got a better rate when we bundled their service with two other neighbors. Aaron did the 3rd story work, removing the neighbor's tall maple. That guy is awesome, he cut each branch and dropped them safely without damaging the house underneath. One other thing, they cleaned up the entire area, almost didn't know they were there. Great Job!

Five stars for Sunset Tree Removal! They did a fantastic job with the removal of our giant Elm tree. An engineering masterpiece dropped without damage to our decking or flower beds. Super clean up too!

When high winds brought a big pine tree down on the deck of our cottage, Sunset Tree Service was there to help! They were able to get to us quickly despite being very busy, and cleaned up the tree for us fast and efficiently. Dave (the owner) and his entire crew are extremely polite, hardworking, and knowledgeable. They are a pleasure to deal with and highly recommended!
