Top Notch did an outstanding job for us! We had a large linden tree come down in our backyard during a storm in December. I called around for quotes and only two places were willing to give me an estimate for winter work. Top Notch gave us an estimate that was $3,000 less than the competition. Their quote was in the exact range that our insurance company predicted. They came and removed the tree only 3 days later and their work was meticulous. The customer service was awesome and I could not believe how well the back yard was cleaned up after they left. I HIGHLY recommend them!!!!!

No complaints. Rod and Billy were very responsive and easy to work with! Fair and competitive pricing. I was given an estimate on 3-4 before they could arrive and they were at my house within that range. Their crew did a great job and left no mess. Highly recommend!

I rarely write reviews. I start with that because when I do write a review it is because the service or product I am reviewing far exceeded my expectations. Top Notch did just that. They came in with the lowest bid for removing a tree in our front yard. Then they started the project a week earlier than estimated. The removal team were professional, experienced and courteous. They worked like a well oiled machine. They had fun with one another which made watching them fun. You could tell they enjoyed working with one another. When the job was done our yard was clean and tree free! No cleaning up
