It always go perfectly!!! Jerry has an absolutely great crew you are very punctual, polite and professional!!! I can't say enough words about this company!!! Everything from start to finish goes like clockwork!!! They're all so knowledgeable and such a pleasure to work with!!! I will never use any other company! When they arrive, they work until everything is done and they pick up all of the debris!!! Most importantly, you don't have to babysat them!!! These days, it's so hard to find companies with such great work ethics!!! Jerry will always get my business!!!
Description of Work: I contact Jerry every year regarding trimming my bamboo and cleaning my palm trees.

Independent's crew arrived on time and with immaculately maintained equipment. Their foreman professionally introduced himself and his crew, expertly evaluated the conditions and site restraints, and the expeditiously completed the job. Upon completing the work, the crew reviewed the job with me and cleaned up all affected areas. I could not have been more pleased with Independent's professionalism and expertise. Highly recommend.
Description of Work: I had a large water oak that uprooted and fell across my yard. The tree was partially suspended in adjacent trees, making its removal complicated and somewhat dangerous.

Very well. A crane was located on the street outside the yard and was able to hoist the date palm off the trailer with no additional damage. The washingtonia palm was similarly hoisted in one piece leaving only a short stump. On the street the trees were cut into short sections and piled up for Irma debris cleanup trucks. Before leaving, the crew cleaned up remaining debris from the lawn and from the the trailer roof. A job done well.
Description of Work: Hurricane Irma blew down a large date palm on top of my travel trailer. I needed it removed. I also decided to remove a tall washingtonia palm to avoid future damage - it seemed to be in declining health.

Jordan Upcavage with Independent Tree Service came & gave us an estimate. It seemed reasonable, & they had done work for us before, so I knew it would be done right. We set up a time to have the work done. The crew was on time, and completed the work expeditiously. A few days later Jordan called to make sure everything was satisfactory. I appreciated the call.
