I can't say enough good things about Chris Chapman and his crew. He showed up on time with his crew of five. They were extremely efficient in cutting down and removing 4.large redwood trees n our back yard. They hauled everything away and left the place clean. Would highly recommend them.

Chris Provided us with knowledge about one of our redwood trees that had split at the base and had competing trunks. He suggested trimming down one of the trunks and tying them together with wire to keep them from splitting in high winds. Potential dangerous situation was averted due to his advice. .

Chris Chapman is easy to work with and honest. It was a tough job with dificult access to work site, both steep and across our neighbor's property. The crew was good natured about the long haul and respectful of our & our neighbor's landscaping and neighbors need to exit and return. Chris endevored to finish the job with both us and the neighbors satisfied.
