I just finished working with Terrapin for the 2nd time, and I'm as happy & satisfied as ever with the service they provide. They came down to our property in West Reno and provided us with extensive tree trimming and disposal services, as well as a thorough defensible space evaluation. They were also able to climb our larger trees without damaging them and safely lower heavy branches that were overgrowing our roof and skylights. Zach (the owner) is a consummate professional and is truly dedicated to his work. I'm really glad we've found this company so soon. We will continue to utilize Terrapin for all of our arbor, defensible space, and land management needs.

Terrapin was extremely professional, and efficient. We had several large trees that required removal. Zach was quick and affordable.
