His crew showed up 2 days latter, as scheduled, and performed the work as described. His entire crew were very professional in the
way they dealt with
each other and performed their tasks. I was very please to have one of the crew always ready to point out what they were doing and
were available to answer any questions that my wife or I might have during the time the work was being done.
At the end of the day all the work was completed and very nicely cleaned up. We were very pleased.
This was our second direct contact with Gator Tree Service. Both times deserved an EXXCELLENT rating.
Incredible knowledge of trees and how to best preserve/manage the situation. Always our first call and happy to refer!
I would definitely hire them again, when needed.
I needed to have a HUGE, old laurel oak removed, which was becoming unsafe, and have the stump grinded to make room for a patio. There were also a few small trees causing problems (one was in the way of the fence I wanted to install, and two others were very close to the house) that I wanted taken out.
Anthony was easy to work with, and he walked me through what the job would entail as he was working up the quote. He's a certified arborist, and seems to really care about tree health; and he was happy to answer any questions I had about the condition of trees around my house, and about the city's rules about tree removal and replacement (Gainesville is pretty serious about protecting its tree canopy, and the rules are not trivial).
After I decided to go with Gator Tree, the process was very smooth. Within about a week, a crew showed up with a lot of heavy equipment and got to work. Removing the big oak was tricky, and they took their time to make sure it was removed safely. They took out the other trees without any problems, and were careful to clean up the site completely. They ground up the stumps, but couldn't get all of the laurel oak stump due to a gas line near the house. After I got GRU to mark the gas line, Anthony came back within a few days and (at no extra cost, and after hours) took out the rest of the stump. He even helped me out by grinding the stumps of a few large bushes that were in the path of a fence that I wanted to install, and didn't charge any extra to do the work. Just a handshake and a smile.
Overall, Gator Tree was outstanding! Good on price, great on quality and service. I would definitely use these guys again, and would recommend them to anyone!!
