Mr. Mears was very polite and on time everyday. He did everything I wanted him to do. Very professional and did excellent work. He kept me informed everyday of his progress. He dug out my pond and made it deeper. He also mulched my pasture and made it tree and bush free. Looks great.

Took down 3 dead pine trees between 2 power lines, called the power company and set it it up with them. I appreciate not having to deal with that. They did an excellent job, took down the trees and moved them to a burn pile I have. I recommend this crew to anyone that needs work done
