We called and made appointment for arborist to visit; arborist gave advice and estimate; we made appointment for the workers to come and trim thetrees and bushes. We were given sufficient notice so as to advise our neighbors that the trimmingwould take place,etc.

They come twice a year and they are really good. Initially when I called them they came and checked all the trees for beetle and did a complete assessment. They also spray and treat the trees. They always call before they come and reschedule if required.

great! We had quotes from multiple companies and while they had arborists on staff, we really just needed our trees trimmed which doesn't really require an arborist. Not a large scale crew to come out and tons of equipment. Joey did a great job, our job was small enough he didn't' need a crew...
