"Thanks Mr. [Member Name Removed] we appreciate your business !"
Friday I called Windsor & Son Tree Service requesting they send someone to look over the problem trees and provide a quote. Max Windsor arrived that same afternoon and assured me they could remove the tall pine trees from the small restricted area without damage to my or my neigbor's property, and that they would provide me with proof of work comp and general liability insurance. He quoted $2,800, which was $1,200 higher than a quote I had from a smaller tree service several months ago. (He wouldn't return my calls when I tried to schedule his work.) However, his confident friendly manner and the pictures on his website showing a climber on a pine tree convinced me to trust him to do the job, and his quote was about what I had expected. He said he could have his crew there the following Tuesday. In the meantime his insurance agents e-mailed me proof of his insurance and he called on Monday to confirm the crew would be there the next day at 8:30am.
The crew of four arrived on schedule with two trucks and a big tractor and huge chipper, all of which had to be parked in the street right-of-way and my driveway since the clearance around the house would not accommodate anything larger than a pick-up truck. They threw a rope up to the top of the tallest, middle pine tree and one man donned climbing spurs and went up the tree and got to work. It was interesting to see how smart and professionally they worked. Using ropes held by workers on the ground to steady the worker aloft while he cut limbs, and to lower the cut limbs and land them directly in the limited work area at the base of the trees. The work went smoothly. At times the tree man used the ropes to swing over to one of the other trees to remove some limbs by walking out on some long limbs while steadying himself with the safety rope and attaching another rope to the limb before sawing it off. A worker on the ground held the safety rope strung from the top of the tallest tree and others held the rope with the limb and lowered it to the ground. I felt this was as good as watching Aaron Rogers at work.
The workers dragged the limbs out to the front yard and shoved them into a huge chipper. After the limbs were down the tree man worked his way down the trunk cutting off sections and dropping them at the base of the tree. These big logs were then carried out with a large Kabota tractor to the street and loaded into one of the trucks. Then the tractor brought in a big stump grinder and quickly reduced the stumps to chips, which the tractor then removed with a front-end loader. Meanwhile the workers raked up the miscellaneous droppings around the site and cleaned up the droppings in the driveway. The whole operation couldn't have gone any better. They also cut off a nearby bush at my request and used the tractor to carry away a large piece to cement to save me work when I re-landscape the site.
