I had used this firm about two years ago to remove a tree from our front yard, near the house, that had died after a harsh winter. They professionally removed that tree. And, they removed the stump to about one foot below ground level (for an extra charge), which allowed us to plant grass where the tree had been. Today, you would never know that the tree had been there. They did a great job.
I guess we did not talk enough about how the trees and bushes would be trimmed -- I figured they're the experts I'll let them trim it "the best" way. One tree got lopped off at the top to avoid wires. I expected that, but it looks in artfully done -- there's a little stump at the top. The other tree left a lot of tall branches including some that are still among the wires, making me think I'll have to do additional trimming of my own come fall. I didn't ask them to redo the trimming, maybe they would have if I'd asked.
I didn't get competing bids, so I can't comment on the price.
I have to have Chimney work done and needed the tree next to the Chimney trimmed. I had Lyle come out and assess all my trees as it had been a while since they were trimmed. As a repeat customer, he gave me a nice discount.
There were 4 men and they worked together beautifully and professionally. The supervisor asked me how much I wanted the trees cut back and checked in with me periodically to make sure that I was doing what I had asked for. They cleaned up all the debris. I would highly recommend this company.
I waited to submit this review because I was too angry to bother to write it.
UPDATED REVIEW: A few weeks after my review was published, I received a call from David Taylor from Sunrise Tree. He came to see me and discuss my complaints, and admitted that his company erred. He offered me a full refund or to have three large trees trimmed, and one would additionally be cabled to prevent it from splitting and falling on the garage. Because of his sincerity, I decided to let his company perform the work. I believe David and Sunrise Tree genuinely regretted what had happened years ago, and truly wanted to make it right. I agreed to amend my review once they completed the work satisfactorily. I have to say, they took care of what they offered to do and the work was quick, thorough, and neatly cleaned up. I believe they demonstrated the professionalism and service I was used to from them originally. To err is human, to try to rectify the mistake and provide a fair solution is the basis of forgiveness, and I feel David and his company did their best and succeeded in reaching out to me to repair my loss of trust and dissatisfaction. In these times, these are rare qualities and worthy of mention. Thank you David!
A+ all the way!
