As a 40+ year customer service professional, I have always held a keen eye for service providers that can live up to my high expectations; as compared to an era long ago, they are difficult to find. Well, I found a company that still lives up to my "old school" expectations, and high standards for providing excellent customer service, at a fair price. My wife and I built our house 17 years ago. We did not use a professional landscaper to plan our landscape, rather we drove around town, searching for a landscape we enjoyed, and ultimately, we tried to re-create the setting. Our house backs up to a dense green space, one that over the years had encroached into our narrow depth, but left to right, long backyard. Between the trees we planted, thinking they were dwarf trees, the shrubs we planted, and the growth encroaching from the green space, our yard became extremely overgrown, and blocked the limited sun we had potential access to, leading to a feeling of being closed in. I tend to do extensive research, combing over reviews to find "just the right company" to perform the services I am seeking. My research lead me to Dan and his staff at Treekeeper Tree Service. I called Dan, and was quite surprised when he actually answered the phone; I expected to receive a voicemail, and have to leave an unreturned, or delayed response. It must have been my lucky day, or a sign this was the company to trust to perform my needed service, because he happened to be on his way to my neighborhood, providing an estimate for someone else. Two hours later, he was at my house working up a bid and offering suggestions for things that only a true professional would know. Never once, did I feel like I was being "sold" something not needed. He never pushed anything on us. He walked our entire property, and provided a bid to complete our job, outlining everything he proposed be done, before he left our premises. His bid was thorough, and what I believed was fair. We scheduled the job for the following Monday. On Sunday, the day before the services were to be performed, I received a text reminding me of our appointment the following day. Much to my delight, and my wife's, as I had to work, and it was she who was to oversee the job, Dan and his crew showed up on-time and went right to work. He and his crew removed 4 spruce trees, removed various shrubs, trimmed every remaining shrub, limbed up numerous maple, fir, and hemlock trees, and shaped other trees that had adopted strange growing patterns due to the over crowding of our landscape. When the job was complete, they cleaned up after themselves, to the point one would not have even known they had been there had they not been aware of the condition of our landscape prior to the work completed. Our entire landscape looked brilliant, and we had views into the green space never enjoyed before. Neighbors, walking by, commented how well manicured and beautiful our property looked. Thank you, Dan and crew; we owe it all to you. If you are contemplating having any tree or shrub trimming, removing, shaping, or any other service for your trees and shrubs, look no farther than Dan and his crew at Treekeeper Tree Service. At least do yourself a favor, and get a bid from him, as you'll be pleasantly surprised by his knowledge, suggestions, and just his and his crew's work ethic, and the care they show doing the job correct, the first time.
