Greg did a great job removing three large tree stumps in our yard, placing protective screens to prevent chips from damaging the house. He was very responsive to my requests and did an excellent job of cleaning up after the work was done. Highly recommend and would hire again.

Greg was fantastic! He provided a very reasonable and competitive estimate, explained everything he needed to do and also was knowledgeable in what was causing our tree to die. Greg said he would try to work us into his schedule in the next 1-2 months, but he called me yesterday to say he would be able to do remove the tree the next day if it worked for us. He showed up on time and did a great job. He cleaned up the area and made our yard look like he had not even been there (other than the tree removed). While he was here, Greg aslo trimmed our other trees so they would not be subject to the same condition that impacted the removed tree. I would highly recommend Greg!

Gregg is the guy! I had to big trees to take down and would recommend Gregg to anyone. He was super quick to return my call, arrived fast to bid, and sent a detailed estimate via email. On demo day, he was efficient and careful, plus, he cleaned up EVERYTHING. Seriously, not a twig was left and he cut down two big, dead trees. Amazing!!!!

Greg just finished up cutting down four of my trees and I couldn't be happier! I was very impressed with the quality of his work and how my yard looked when he was done. I was also super appreciative of him moving some dirt around for me while he was there too. 100% recommend Greg!

I was reminded to write this review when I saw Gregg doing a job in my neighborhood recently. Gregg did 3 jobs for me going back to spring of 2020. He dropped a 55 foot tall Ash Tree in my back yard that had many very large limbs that reached over my porch, my house, my neighbors fence, and almost over my neighbors porch. He cleaned up a similar sized ash tree in our front yard after Derecho. He trimmed a white oak in my back yard that was reaching over the neighbors fence and over their pool. Gregg is a pro. He is very organized and methodical in his approach. He is very intentional with his work. He cares about your property and the neighbors property. He drops limbs and trunks where he wants them to drop; even the limbs that reached over the porch and house and fence landed safely where Gregg intended! Nothing damaged. He is very safe. He has all the proper equipment. He's gone out of state to get professional training and certifications at professional tree cutting schools. He's very knowledgeable and experienced. He's prices are very fair. I've used other tree cutting services in the past. With Gregg you don't get cigarette butts in your yard, damaged shrubs, gear left in your tree, and you don't hear cussing or "Watch out, watch out.. oh Sh#t." He's respectful. He's easy to work with, very casual and easy to talk to, and very professional in his approach and work method. I recommend everyone to consider Gregg for their next job.
