Richie, Dave and his crew had a difficult task of removing a very large tree in a challenging and hard to get to spot. They made it look easy. Had everything they needed and worked efficiently. They were friendly, knowledgeable, respectful and took the time to answer any questions and make us feel comfortable. We will definitely use them again.

I would not hesitate to recommend The Wood Shop, Rich and his crew. I was given a fair estimate and a date for the tree removal and brush clean up. They arrived on time, and picked two other additional small brush piles. In total 4 trees were removed without any damage to our deck or plants. After the wood was stacked as requested they cleaned up and left my driveway and yard as if they were never there. After one exorbitant estimate and another service that called 3 weeks after the scheduled date of service, the level of professionalism given made this a great experience. Thanks to Rich and his

Rich and his team came to my house on 07/17/2021 to remove two hug trees in the front of my house. I have used Rich before in the past and his work has always been done so professionally, on time, organized, reliable, caring and an amazing result when it is all done. I have property that I have spent lots of money in maintaining the grass and fertilizing and when I spoke to David who is the one that cuts down the trees to be as carful as possible he understood and his concern and care for the way he handle the job was amazing. The trees came down on the property and it looked like the work was
