Description of Work: I wanted an Ash, Camphor, Lemon and Apricot trees trimmed and a neighbor's Pepper tree cut back to the property line. Green Leaf's estimator, Kurt, was very nice and professional. The bid was very reasonable. The trimmers, Matt and Paul were very neat in their appearance. Any questions I had were answered thoroughly. They walked through the yard with me to be sure we agreed on the work I wanted done. They got right to work, very safe and clean. The trees were trimmed, the cuttings shredded and my property was as clean as when they arrived. I am very satisfied with Green Leaf Tree Care and would recommend them to my friends and family.

The very large pine tree had not grown in an upright orientation and was leaning over our neighbors property/house. So, we decided to remove it. The crew showed up on time and got right to work. They moved obstacles in the garden and in our neighbor's patio area. They finished the job by mid afternoon, including removal of all the wood and mulch produced by the job. They cleaned up our property and the neighbor's property, too, and returned the moved items back into place. The crew provided great service overall while on the job site. The owner, Ted, was also great with the quote, job preparations, checking in on the day of the job, and following up on customer satisfaction. The final cost was right on the mark based on the initial quote. The neighbors were satisfied with the service, too. Good job.
Description of Work: Removed a very large pine tree and trimmed another tree.

I had several trees that needed shaping including a Japanese maple and wanted to find someone who knew how to shape and prune correctly. Ted, the owner, went out of his way to make sure he understood what I wanted. He gave excellent advice and made good suggestions for what my trees needed. His arborist, Jeff, and his helpers were polite, knowledgeable and they really took their time to make sure the work was aesthetically pleasing and what the trees needed. They did a great job of not damaging any of my small plants underneath the trees and cleaning up afterward. I highly recommend them if you want more than just someone to saw limbs off your trees.
Description of Work: They pruned and shaped 6 trees and several hibiscus bushes.

It couldn't have gone any better!!
Description of Work: We had a very old magnolia tree, probably 30 feet tall, in our backyard that had evidence of termite infestation. My wife has lived here for 45 years and it was here when she moved here. She was concerned that branches would fall and cause injury and/or damage. We decided to have the tree removed so we can plant another fruit tree near that spot in the yard. When I called Green Leaf Tree Care, Ted responded right away and came out the next business day. He understood what we wanted and got back to us later that day with an estimate. I accepted his estimate as being fair and within the amount we considered reasonable. He scheduled his crew to come out to do the job within in a week. He made notes to ensure that our buildings and plants were protected. Many years ago our granddaughter had placed a small ceramic angel in a knot in the tree and over the years, the knot had somewhat closed around it. He even made a note to take care not to damage our angel. His crew showed up promptly at the time scheduled. They took great care in bringing down the tree and completed the job in 7 hours. We were amazed! Ted and his crew are friendly, professional and very efficient! They even presented her with her angel in a square cutout of the tree. It is refreshing to do business with such a knowledgeable and professional team such as GREEN LEAF TREE CARE. We understand why they have the name "CARE" in their company title. Their respect for their customers is clearly evident throughout the project by the way they show they care.

See above.
Description of Work: Owner Ted Huffman came out personally to quote my job which included the removal of a palm tree located too close to the house as well as trimming up several queen and king palms in our yard. Additionally, they pruned and removed a couple of Sago palms which were not originall part of the estimate. His crew arrived promptly as scheduled and were very professional and courtious and completed the entire job and were gone within 2 hours. They brought a cherry picker to reach the tallest trees but were unable to use it in the back yard so one of his crewmen did the job the old fashion way by scaling up the tree with pole spikes and a climbing rope; Given the fact that he had to reach three tops from the same trunk there were some husks that probably should have been cleaned off but given the precarious leaning that it would have required weren't. Overall, thjey did a great job at a fair price and I would definately recommend them to anyone who asked.

We have 1/2 acre of property that had been seriously negleted for years. I called Green Leaf for an estimate to trim and remove trees trees, clean up some weeds and bushes. . Ted Huffman, the owner came out the same day. He is a certified arbolist and made good suggstions about what could be done in the yard to improve it. He emailed me the estimate the same day. (He had given me the choice of email or phone). I accepted his bid. He sent out 6 hard working men, one of whom was the foreman, a cherry picker, a chipper shredder and much more equipment. The men worked hard for 2 full days and did a good job. My yard was such a mess that it is hard to explain what they did. They removed, cut back several buses and trees and weeds. They cleaned up the dead palms on 4 palm trees that were at least 20 feet high or higher. And more. They cleaned up after themselves. The foreman, Daniel, periodically explained to me what they were doing and asked relevant questions. I was very happy with what they did. My yard now looks great I would recommend them to anyone.

I have used them for several years, and the last time around I had quite a bit of work done. They are highly professional. The guy who runs it is a certified arborist. They are very courteous, thorough and knowledgeable of trees. They provide good cleanup. Their price is very reasonable for the amount of work they do. I would unquestionably rate them highly and would use them again in the future.

The estimator arrived as agreed. He provided his bid promptly. When I accepted, the work was scheduled for the following week. The crew arrived at the designated time and performed all work in a timely manner. They removed all debris, leaving no trace of their visit beyond the properly manicured trees.
Description of Work: One large and two small dead trees were removed. Several other trees were trimmed. Severe surgery was performed on an overgrown hedge.

The owner, Ted, is really a topnotch guy and is concerned always about doing a good job and that you are happy with his work. He has been able to transmit that to his staff. They?ve grown from a small operation to a medium-sized operation. They show up on time, do their work and charge a fair and competitive price. I knew them when they were just getting started; I have used them forever. I would rate them highly. I have used them about 5 times already and would use them in the future, if necessary.

I called the company and a person answered the phone. That to me is a plus. They called back with an estimator who came and provided the estimate within 48 hours via e-mail. They called to schedule the work and we had to changed a couple of time because of a conflict in my schedule. They actually came the day before to meet with me a to explain what I wanted to get done. They came, while I was not home, and did a professional job.

This is actually the second time we've used them.. both times they've been quick, safe, and accurate. They arrived when they said they would, they did the job, and cleaned up well afterwards. Their quotes have been slightly more than average, but we figure if you have guys wielding chainsaws in your backyard maybe it's not best to go for the cheapest ones you can find.
