They were very good. They had a certified arborist which was very good and that way the tree was pruned properly with the help of the tree. I spent probably about $300 or $400 on that service.

I was afraid I'd lose the tree, but their arborist said that was unnecessary. He recommended the crown cleaning. They performed the work and did a good job of cleaning up.
