Report
We were concerned about a tree, did not want to lose it. Ranger said it was not problem other than needed a trimming. They trimmed the tree, plus other that was a potential hazard and cleaned up. Great job, on time for a reasonable price.

We could not be more pleased with the work Ranger did at our home. When Micha came to look at the trees he clearly knew what he was doing. He made recommendations in addition to what we called them for and explained why. He went over the entire process in advance. On the day of they were here on time and got right to work. We were so impressed with them. Ranger's team was careful - they broke NOTHING even though the were taking out huge limbs and fell a monster tree. They CLEANED UP and were polite and friendly all day. They had to remove our fence but they put it back as it was. A great job all
