Dan has been a pleasure to deal with. Extremely approachable and has a wealth of tree knowledge. He is considered in his approach but also is happy to explain the options so that we both came to a conclusion we were all happy with. Would definitely recommend Dan's services and will be using him in the future.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the opportunity to help with your trees. Unfortunately, the condition of your Liquidambar is worse than we initially thought. We’re happy to proceed with its removal and to assist you with replacement options, and we look forward to seeing what you choose to replant. Dan

Dan was quick to respond and arrive to quote. He was able to turn the job around quickly and did a great job. Great advice and very pleasant to deal with along with an excellent price. I'd thoroughly recommend him to anyone needing a reliable tree service. One tree or ten he seems to manage it very well.
Response from the owner:Thanks Paul. It was great to help you with your yard make over. By removing the previously lopped, decaying trees and grinding the stumps you are now able to start fresh. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress next time we visit. Thanks again.
