The team did a great job trimming and pruning my Bradford Pear tree taking great care to take into account previous cuts so that the tree grows back more uniformly. Derrick was extremely friendly and professional, and the team worked quickly and did a fantastic job to remove all waste. Pricing was also very competitive, and the office did a wonderful job in communicating with me on scheduling. Would highly recommend.

Highly recommend Mencers. Derrick did a thorough job explaining and confirming the work that was to be done prior to starting the job. Once it was complete, he walked through everything again to confirm it was complete and met my expectations. The job was completed efficiently with care taken to minimize impact on my property. Clean up was better than I expected. 100% would use them again.

I had two very tall pine trees removed. Derrick and the crew did a great job. They worked hard to protect a dogwood at the bottom and also protected the yard from a lot of damage. On time, kept me informed, and great clean up. I always use this company.

I contacted them before September 7th, 2021 and was told it would be a 8-12 week wait as they were busy. I get it. Everyone one is short staffed, and everyone is busy. They did send over a person to give an estimate in a very timely fashion, and since it was a small job, they might be able to do it sooner. I should've realized from the misspelling of my name on the email containing the estimate, they didn't really care about their customers nor their time. After about 4 weeks, I realized I needed some branches around power lines trimmed, and they were more than willing to add it

Mencer's team did a great job on our towering Red Maple. Team took exceptional care of perimeter clean up & trimming work. Would recommend for local homeowners searching for tree maintenance & care. These folks have volunteered to help rescue family cats trapped in trees. Locally-owned & operated.
