Top shelf operation!
Description of Work: I had a LARGE Laurel Oak removed from my front yard. From estimate by Jordan to removal by Calvin, Terry and Manny all went very well. Jordan and his Dad Jerry even hooked me up with a landscaper to replace the tree and shrubs. Independent Tree has done all my tree work since my wife and I bought our home in 1991. You will not go wrong in engaging the Independent Tree Service family... Mike/Tampa

THE COMPANY WAS RCVD BY ANGIE'S LIST SO I DID NOT SHOP PRICE. THERE WERE 5 EMPLOYEES WORKING FROM 8AM TO APPROX 1PM. I CONSIDER THE PRICE TO BE A FAIR PRICE. THE WORK WAS EXCELLENT. WHEN THEY FINISHED THEY LEFT MY YARD CLEANER THAN IT WAS WHEN THY ARRIVED. I WILL CERTAINLY USE THIS COMPANY FOR ANY FUTURE TREE WORK I MAY HAVE.

ON INITIAL VISIT, WORKERS WERE CONCERNED FOR CAR IN DRIVEWAY AND DID NOT TRIM TREE OVER DRIVEWAY TO PREVENT ANY POSSIBLE DAMAGES. JERRY WAS VERY RESPONSIVE IN SENDING WORKERS BACKOUT TO COMPLETE JOB BASED ON ORIGINAL WORK ORDER. HE WAS ALSO VERY PROMPT AND PROFESSIONAL IN CALLING ME BACK THE NEXT DAY TO SEE IF I WAS SATISFIED. I WOULD DEFINITELY USE THEM AGAIN AND REFER THEM TO FRIENDS.

JERRY GIVES YOU A GREAT SENSE OF CONFIDENCE IN THE WORK OF HIS COMPANY.
Description of Work: WE BOUGHT AN OLDER HOME THAT HAS 7 OAKS, 2 PINES THAT DESPERATELY NEEDED TO BE TRIMED AND 3 PINES THAT NEEDED TO BE REMOVED AND THE STUMPS GROUND AWAY. THEY TRIMED OUR TREES IN OUR LAST HOME AND DID A GREAT JOB (NOT AS LARGE BUT GREAT). JERRY IS RESPONSIVE, EXTREMELY COURTEOUS AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT HIS BUSINESS AND HAS A GRAT GROUP OF MEN WHO DID A WONDERFUL JOB. ONE TREE IS DAMAGED FROM A PREVIOUS POOR REMOVAL OF A MAJOR LIMB. IT IS A FOCAL POINT OF OUR BACKYARD AND, IN ORDER TO SAVE IT IT HAD TO HAVE A CROWN REDUCTION TO PREVENT THE TREE SPLITING. THE TREES ARE BEAUTIFUL, OUR YARD LOOKS GREAT AND LUSH AND MOST OF ALL THE WORK WAS DOWN EFFICIENTLY, CLEANLY AND THE FINAL PRODUCT IS SO PLEASING. I WOULD NOT USE ANYONE ELSE. IT WAS SAD TO SEE OUR NEW NEIGHBORS TWO WEEKS LATER HAVE A SMALL COMPANY TRIM THERE TREES, REMOVE A MAJOR OAK, LEAVE THE STUMP AND DO AN OVERALL POOR JOB.

JERRY UPCAVAGE CAME OUT THE SAME DAY I CALLED AND GAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR THE WORK. I ACCEPTED THE QUOTE, AND HE CALLED ME SHORTLY THEREAFTER WITH A SCHEDULED SERVICE DATE (ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER). THE CREW ARRIVED ON THE SCHEDULED DATE AND COMPLETED THE WORK IN SHORT ORDER. GREAT JOB, EVERYONE VERY PROFESSIONAL. WE HAVE USED THIS COMPANY BEFORE FOR A LARGER JOB AND HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. JERRY UPCAVAGE IS A CERTIFIED ARBORIST, AND ITS HELPFUL TO HAVE HIS KNOWLEDGE/EXPERIENCE WHEN MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT LANDSCAPING.

I'VE USED THEM TWICE, AND WOULD DO SO AGAIN!
