Kevin did a great job from start to finish. He was very easy to work with and gave a thorough explanation of what would be done. The chips were left in a neat pile on top of the stump hole which made it very easy to clean up.

They used a bucket truck between the two trees. One guy in the bucket cutting while the other two hauled brush to the chipper. I keep the wood. Which they piled at the rear of the property where I ask them to. They rake and cleaned up the area before they left. Very happy with the job they did.
