Just wanted to give kudos to this company for doing a wonderful job for me. My regular tree company was not even taking calls, after February's ice storm. My front tree was damaged and I made the decision that it had to come down. I also had neighbor trees (one on each side) that had broken or dangling branches that would eventually fall down onto my property. The owner came out to give me an estimate within a few days of me calling, which was pretty remarkable considering how busy they were. The work was scheduled the following month. This company has all the equipment they need to
