Mr D's Tree & Stump Removal

Mr D's crew was awesome. They arrived promptly and did fantastic job. Cleanup was done and yard looked great. No limbs or leaves left behind. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone that needs tree service!!

.

The job went swiftly and well.

No problems! Mr Trey kept me updated as to when they would be out to do the work. The crew showed up around 7:00 a.m. And we're done with the tree by 1:00. A gentleman came back a few days later and ground out the stump. The crew put down pieces of wood on my lawn to avoid putting ruts in the yard. This is the third time in three years that I have hired Mr D's, and I have always been extremely pleased with their work. I had obtained two other quotes on this most recent job, and theirs was the lowest by far! $2100 lower than the highest bid! These guys have the knowledge, ability, experience, and equipment to get the job done.

It went well

These guys do incredible work. Showed up at agreed upon time, got right to the job. Very professional attitudes and quality work. Several Spanish-speaking crew members, but they were never left alone with no interpreter (a problem I've had in the past, making it impossible to communicate). One of the tree service owners was part of the crew, and he was on-site the entire time.

The equipment they brought included a large bucket truck, a small bucket truck, a track loader, a dump truck, a chipper, and lots of chain saws, ropes and safety harnesses.

The job was a difficult one, for three of the trees were very near our house. A large (45'-50' tall) river birch was growing less than 7 feet from the house, and was surrounded on the other 3 sides by steps/deck. They took it down without damage to anything (except one iris that got stepped on, and a wildflower that was run over by a piece of equipment--both will recover).

A second tree, an ash (35'-40' tall), was growing less than a foot from a magnolia that we wanted to save. (only damage was one tiny branch of the magnolia broken when the bucket arm brushed against it).

The third tree, a hackberry (40'+) was near the house, but out in the open, which should have made that job easier. But they couldn't get their equipment in to remove it, so they had to climb the tree and take it down a little at a time. (We should have had to pay extra for the entertainment of watching that procedure!)

The last tree was also a tall hackberry, but was far away from the house, so after trimming and topping, they were able to drop it to the ground before cutting it up.

The 10' stump was a relatively easy takedown. The original plan was to drop it into the front yard and leave it there, but they apparently decided to leave the front as clean as possible and so, moved it to the back. They used their front-loader to pick it up , then carried it to the back, where they placed it next to the downed hackberry and cut it into lengths. (Thanks, Carl. The extra work was unnecessary, but much appreciated!)

The wood chips had to be piled in front; they couldn't get their truck into the yard to dump them further back. Not a big deal. (We--and our neighbors--now have a gigantic pile of mulch to dress up flowerbeds and to use for paths through vegetable gardens.)

There were very few indentions in the yard from falling logs, because they piled branches up, then dropped the trunk pieces onto the pile, rather than directly onto the ground.

After they left, the yard wasn't spotless, but it was much cleaner than I could have asked for. In a few weeks, it will be difficult to tell that there was any tree work done. (Well, except for the logs that we haven't yet split and moved to the wood rack, but that's our job, not theirs.)

My neighbor had a tree that she wanted cut down, and a larger one that needed some rotten areas cut out, so while they were here, they took care of those as well.

They worked amazingly fast, but not carelessly. I had expected the job to take a couple of days, but they arrived a little before 7:00 am and were completely done by 2:00 pm.  Five trees down, one tree trimmed, and 1 stump removed, all in 7 hours. We were amazed..

I had talked to 4 tree companies before deciding on Mr. D's. Mr. D's bid came in a little higher than some of the others, but the work we got was well worth the job we got. They are definitely our go-to tree guys next time we need tree work.

The estimate experience was very positive.  They showed up on time, and got down to business.  I've used other tree removal services before, and none were this good.  Quick work, done professionally, good information, and our new puppy loved everyone on the crew.  A marvelous experience.  We will be calling them when we need these services on any of our properties, again for sure.

The crew arrived on time, and completed the services very fast and the yard was cleaned up.   Mr. Decell is friendly and very professional, as was his crew.  I would recommend him highly.

Mr. D. responded the morning after the tree fell to investigate the site and determine the best method of removing the tree without further damaging my home. A very large crane had to be used to remove the tree safely and to mitigate further damage. Don kept me informed on any changes to the schedule of when his crew was to be arriving on my property to start the job.

 

Mats were placed down everywhere the large trucks had to drive on my property (both driveway and lawns). The tree was removed in about half a days worth of time and everything went smoothly and safely. A rain storm came through as they were finishing the job, so Mr. D's crew returned the next morning to finish removing the debris. About two weeks after the tree was removed and the stump was able to dry (as well as the ground), the provider returned to grind the stump.



Mr. D.'s did a great job and choose them again if I had to do it all over again.



I'll also mention that I received two quotes for the job and Mr. D's price was very comparable. He won the job due to his quick response and timeliness with being able to remove the tree.

The crew arrived as scheduled at 7am and cut off the limbs of the oak tree. They cut some of the limbs in 18and quot; lengths for firewood and then moved the bucket truck and began on the gum tree. This tree was about 50' tall and 8' from the house. I was pleased with how skillfully this was done dropping the limbs away from the house. Just before the tree was down the removal truck showed up. When the debris was picked up the stump was ground and the job was finished by 11am.

The job went perfectly. They showed up a little early, went right to work cutting limbs and grinding up the cut off material. They were organized and listened to my desires. They left no trace of ever being here, except a nice yard.

They cut down 5 trees close to our house. The did a fine job and we very friendly and professional.

They were extremely careful and pulled it off without so much as damaging a flower. All the pieces were hauled out to the street/ chipper by hand. The guys were very professional and when they finished, one could not tell they had been there (except that the tree is now gone). The highest recommendation I can give is that I would definitely use them again. We were very pleased with the price and the work. Well done.

Granted, this was several years ago, but I wanted to add some support to what another reviewer said about Mr. D's in March 2012. I called Mr. D's on a Sunday. He came to my house that afternoon to look at the tree and give me an estimate. Frankly, I don't remember exactly what he charged me, but I remember being pleasantly surprised at the figure he quoted me that afternoon.
He set a date to do the job and showed up right on time. I was a little concerned what might happen with the tree having grown into the cable and phone lines, and his having to get equipment behind a rather delicate wood fence and onto a brick patio. But he managed all that without a hitch.

He came out and trimmed all my trees. I have a lot of trees and he did an excellent job. I have several very large oak trees around my yard and he did a great job for a fair price. He is trustworthy and honest. He is professional and has good communication. I will be using him again in the future.
