In late February, 2015, my brother and I met with Alan to get an estimate for tree and stump removal. The trees included 2 large, 45 year old fichus trees with sprawling above ground roots and 2 pepper trees. Based upon Alan's recommendation, we also included a camphor tree in order to get to all of the fichus roots. After checking the access to the front and back yards, Alan gave us an on-the-spot estimate which was substantially less than the other estimates from other tree services. After receiving one last written quote, we called to accept Alan's bid and schedule the work. The earliest date his crew was available to do the work was 3/16/15 and 2 days were set aside to complete the work.
On 3/16, Alan and his crew of six arrived promptly at 7:45 AM.. Within 5 minutes, the "show" had begun. The branches of the trees were quickly and expertly cut, then safely dropped to the ground. The downed branches were then gathered quickly and fed to the chipper which devoured them. Within three hours, the trees were down to stumps. Even before the branch cleanup was done, Alan had begun the stump grinding which was an impressive process. By 4:00 PM, the contracted work was done along with cutting down 2 small bushes at no extra cost.
My wife and I were thoroughly impressed by how well the crew worked together in getting such an enormous task done in such a short time, around 8 hours. The tree trimmers were experts at knowing the order in which to cut the branches while leaving other branches to support themselves. At times, ropes were used to keep larger branches from damaging neighboring property. The ground crew were busily hauling the enormous volume of tree to the chipper and dissecting the larger trunk pieces into more manageable pieces with their chainsaws. All the crew worked hard at a steady and safe pace. I definitely agree with Alan's comment that his crew works together like a well oiled machine.
I heartily recommend Payless to anyone who needs tress and stumps removed. Alan and his crew are a pleasure to do business with.
When contacting Payless, be prepared to get voice mail. Donna will get back to you shortly to coordinate appointments for estimates and scheduling. Your patience will be rewarded with an job done expertly, efficiently, and promptly at a fantastic price.
This was our first experience using Payless Tree Service but it will definitely not be our last. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a tree service company.
What fabulous work! Alan showed up with his crew at the exact time as expected. Payless was one of four estimates I got and Alan was the only one to suggest one of the eucalyptus be removed which made perfect sense when he said it but I had not thought of it and neither did the other 3. Amazing crew that knew exactly what they were doing as this was not a typical trim and lace. The trees were grossly oversized and had not been cut in years. They were a huge accident just waiting to happen. I already have two neighbors so impressed they will be contacting him soon as well.
It turned out exactly as we agreed and was excellent service.
