A tree that was in our yard had fallen into our neighbor’s, but it was leaning against another tree. It was very dangerous. I had to call someone immediately. I was also worried about another dead tree that was close to a window, plus I needed some trees pruned. I called and Mark, the owner, answered (WOW!). He told me that he comes out and provides a complete assessment of the trees in the yard for $149, which is applied to any work that he does. At first I was worried about that, but I was relying on the fact that his company was #1 on Angie’s list, which was the whole reason I signed up for AL. Since he had the most positive reviews of any other provider, I felt very comfortable and agreed. Mark came out the next day and looked everything over. I was worried that some trees I pointed out would need to be cut down, leading to more expense, but he said they were fine. He was very thorough and knowledgeable about trees, down to the molecular level. I pleasantly surprised! Most assessments usually lead to you spending more, but this experience was the exact opposite. Mark gave me an estimate of the entire job (two trees, pruning of two others) of $1,500 and his crew came out the same day (read on, he actually lowered the price). They not only did all of the work to perfection (they didn’t hurt any of our property or landscaping), they even pulled up the tree pieces from a ravine and cut them into smaller chunks that were manageable. This took quite a bit longer, but he didn’t charge me any additional for this. He could have taken everything with him, but it was less expensive to leave it, so we are going to use it in our fire pit. I was grateful they left the wood in chunks that we could manage ourselves. Finally, he gave me $200 off of the price because I paid with a check. If I ever need tree work done, I will be calling 770-ARBORIST. Hands down, a company you can trust to do the right thing. It’s worth it to know that the job will be done right and by professionals. Oh, I need to mention that he asked me if we would like to keep the mulch from the trees he cut down, plus the mulch from a previous job at no cost, and I said YES. We spent our weekend spreading it, but it would have cost hundreds if we had had to purchase the mulch ourselves. Now my backyard (normally woods) looks amazing!
