ASSERTIVE TREE CARE

Showed up within hours of contacting with a truck and chipper. Completed the work same day. Very attentive. Did a great job clearing things out. Even took away (at no charge) an old patio table we had been planning to chop up and throw away. Price was ok, but since they were there so quickly and it was SCORCHING HOT we didn't barter on the cost, as we thought they deserved every penny and then some in the heat and humidity that day.

Overall it was a good experience. They worked hard and finished quickly. They also, were punctual.

The branches from the dead trees were cut down over Labor Day weekend and hauled away. A couple of weeks later two other trees that needed to be trimmed were done and all the branches chipped and hauled away. A couple of weeks ago, the rest of the dead trees (the trunks) were cut down and hauled away and the stumps were ground.

WE ENJOYED WORKING WITH RICHARD. HE HAD A GOOD PERSONALITY AND WAS UNDAUNTED BY THE TASK BEFORE HIM. UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES KEPT HIM FROM BEING PROMPT AND PUNCTUAL (HIS CHIPPER BROKE), BUT HE FINALLY APPEARED, SAYING, 'AI DIDN'T WANT TO LET YOU PEOPLE DOWN.'' HE GOT HIS CHIPPER UP AND RUNNING AND HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING. OTHER REPORTS GAVE HIM A B FOR PROFESSIONALISM, BUT I WOULD SAY THAT RICHARD IS INFORMAL RATHER THAN UNPROFESSIONAL. HE DIDN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT HAULING HEAVY BRANCHES UP OUR EXTREMELY STEEP HILL. WE RECOMMENDED HIM TO TWO OF OUR NEIGHBORS AND THEY HIRED HIM ON THE SPOT. HE MAY NOT COME EXACTLY ON TIME, BUT I WOULDN'T LET THAT STOP ME FROM HIRING HIM. AND HE WORKED ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY--NO PROBLEM.

HE WAS ON TIME. AT THE END OF THE 2-HOUR TIME FRAME HE SAID HE WOULD ARRIVE IN. HE CAME THE SAME DAY THAT I CALLED HIM. I HELPED HAUL THE BRANCHES. I NEEDED THE JOB DONE RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE I WAS LEAVING TOWN SO I MAY HAVE PAID MORE THAN NECESSARY. I DIDN'T GET ANY OTHER ESTIMATE. HE LEFT THE AREA VERY CLEAN. HE IS A LITTLE CHATTIER THAN I AM PERSONALLY COMFORTABLE WITH, BUT HE IS VERY NICE.

CAME OUT SAME DAY I CALLED. DID A NICE JOB CLEANING UP AND TOOK ALL THE WOOD I ASKED. COULD'VE BEEN A LITTLE MORE PROFESSIONAL, BUT THEY DID THE JOB. PRICE WAS $95 FOR A 'TRUCKLOAD WITH EXTENDED SIDES BEFORE CHIPPING'. TWO OTHER PLACES I CALLED WERE $100 FOR THE SAME UNIT OF MEASURE.
