I had another tree service give me an estimate and he wanted $50 more just for one tree and said it would be an all day job and worth every penny. Gator Tree Service had it down in one hour. Plus did ten times more work.
His crew is really awesome too. They are very respectable and polite. One of them told me he accidentally bumped my mail box. It was old and ugly. He told me if I wanted to get a knew one he would put it back on the post for me. So I went to Walmart and bought one. He put it together and back on the post. I told him he did a huge favor by bumping it. :-)
I have not been in the mood to do any yard work until the trees came out and my yard looks so much better. The next day I mowed and raked leaves. It felt good to just do that much. Today I am going to Lowe's to get flowers, mulch and my Pygmy Date Palms that Anthony recommended because I love palms.
So in a nutshell, if you need tree work done, call Gator Tree Service! They are the BEST!
Anthony and his team provide professional and efficient service. They have great equipment to get the job done right at a great price. This my second time to use Gator Tree Service. Both times were pleasant experiences. I highly recommend them.
They came about 3 the following day. In order to minimize the damage to the lawn, they decided the best way to do it was to take down the entire tree with one cut. The tree was so tall that the top of it ended up in the street. Part of the crew with machinery was cutting up the part of the tree in the street so that it wouldn't block traffic as well as another part of the crew slicing up the truck of the tree in the yard, putting truck sections on a dolly and rolling it to the street where their machinery picked it up and put it on the truck to haul off. There were only a couple of places very small places where the sod was disturbed which was easily corrected simply by patting it back down in place. They did a good job of cleaning up the debris once the job was over.
Anthony is the one who grinds the stumps and he told me he'd be back to grind it up. He arrived the next afternoon and ground up the stump. Since the tree that was taken out right up against another tree, he was careful not to cut the roots of the adjacent tree.
We were pleased with the job they did as well as their professionalism. As I walked across the yard, one of the crew members thanked me for our business which is not something you often hear from a worker.
