Removed eight stumps and hauled them away. Took extra time to clean up and backfill holes. Carter was great to work with on scheduling the project. He showed up when he said he would and make quick work of a large project at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend!

Ryan Schulz is just great. He doesn't just work in tree removal. He's a total tree n***, honest and friendly, and focused on efficiency, which benefits his customers. He was able to quickly remove a giant tree from right between my house and my neighbor's house - and left NO MESS behind.

Everything was according to plan. I had described the problem over the phone and had been told the approximate cost. He quickly removed the moldy drywall, and placed a patch to repair it. He was quite good at keeping the work area and my house clean. My only problem would be that it took 2 weeks...
