I had used Yankee Tree in the past at our old house. We moved and needed to get some tree work done at the new house so I called them and a couple of other companies for estimates. Yankee Tree once again was the best value so we hired them. (not the lowest price, but very competitive and they are fully insured.) When hiring companies, make sure they are insured for what they are doing, especially with tree companies.
Rob gave me an estimated time for the work to be done but they had some free time earlier so they came almost a week ahead of schedule.
They used a combination of climbing and a bucket truck. Everything was tied off and lowered gracefully. The crew was very professional and extremely neat. They put down rubber mats in the yard so there were no ruts from the bucket truck going on the grass. All debris, clippings, and brush were removed. When they were done, it was hard to tell they were ever in the yard. With the stumps ground down, you could barely notice them as well. There are alot of retired people in my neighborhood and they were watching. I know the neighbors were impressed as well because a couple came by to say they watched them working and wanted Yankee's contact information. One neighbor said she talked to Rob and she will be calling for her own appointment. The only negative (my fault) was I should have pointed out some of the roots that were near the surface that I should have had them grind when they were there. Overalll, I was extremely satisfied and would have no hesitation hiring Yankee again.
Rob came by the next day after I called to look over the yard and give me an estimate for the work done. It was early March when he came by and snow still on the ground, so he did not want to set a date until it got a little warmer. The only glitch was that he said he would call within a week to set up a date for the work and he did not call. (But I was calling very early in the season.) I called after about a week and a half and he set up a tentative date. I called to confirm the day before and it did take a while to hear back from him, but I did and his crew came when they said they would and did a great job--just what we wanted, cleaned up and took everything they'd cut off away with no problems and were done in about an hour. A tree specialist worked on my star magnolia tree, and the landscape people worked on the holly bushes at the same time. Both the tree and the hollies still have a natural appearance, which is what we requested.
The showed up for the job as a team of 5, including Rob. They put protection pads down across my front law so they could drive the bucket truck up to do the big tree trimming. You would never know a huge truck drove on my lawn! They did the tree triming we agreed on and he also went above and beyond to also cut out some other dead limbs and now my trees look so healthy and balanced.
Then they attacked the giant wall of overgrown shrub and the extra overgrown bushes. His team of guys are professional and were very kind to my 4 year old who loved watching them work. Rob and his team had great communication with me as new things were discovered/unearthed as they worked. In removing all of that, they found a rotten railroad tie retaining wall and they again went beyond the scope of work we talked about to do a great job. I was able to order a dumpster and they used the bobcat to remove the ties and put them in the dumpster. They left the whole worksite clean, even used a leaf blower to get the dirt and chip out of the street.
I could not be happier with their work! I would use them again and highly recommend them to anyone!
They came to do the job when promised. They removed the trees with no issues, did the stump grinding and even picked up all of the chips. Except for the trees being gone you could not even tell they were even in the yard. I would use them again.
Great service!
