STUB'S TREE SVC

unknown

They did a good job and they hauled the stumps away. They got all of the pine trees down easily. We were impressed.

If we ever have tree work performed again - emergency or otherwise - Stub's Tree Service will be the only folks we call. The terrible wind storm on Mother's Day, 2010, struck a 65 foot oak tree in the front of our house. The tree split and fell onto the roof, poking a hole, smashing the chimney, taking down gutters. We immediately called two local tree services; Stub's returned our call in a couple of hours (it WAS Mother's Day after all), apologizing for taking so long to get back to us. The owner came out to the house first thing Monday morning, and brought his crew back on Tuesday. The owner is the second generation of tree cutters, working with HIS two sons to carry on the tradition. There were four others on the crew. They were friendly, efficient and very capable. Whenever I had questions, they were ready to answer. I was impressed at their attention to safety and detail throughout the entire process. From beginning to end (tree removal from the roof to trucks driving away) took about five hours. Every time they moved a truck/vehicle onto our lawn, the guys made sure there were pieces of wood beneath the tires, so that the lawn would not be too badly scarred. When Stub asked what we wanted to do with the wood (keep it or sell it to him), we opted to keep it. He had his crew cut the wood into 8-10 foot logs and move it back onto our yard where we could chop it at a later time. A neighbor came over to watch the work, asked a few questions of Stub. When our job was finished, Stub took his crew to the neighbor's property to do a little trimming. Just like that! No "I'll come back later" or "I'm too busy"; he took care of the fellow right away! Stub explained to me why my tree fell -- it was not rotten at all, just the way it grew and the crook in the middle. Then he pointed out other trees in the neighborhood and pointed out which ones needed trimming, which ones were already trimmed, and what to look out for in the future. This fellow is a wonderful lumberjack, if I can use that word. I never felt worried - or wondered if the crew knew what they were doing. They are professionals and take great pride in their work. Later, I discovered that my mother had used the same family - years ago. Nice to see that they are still doing the same great quality work. And to think that there is a third generation on the way!
