Our house is surrounded by mature oaks, many of them Grand Oaks. Independent Tree Service has been doing our work for years. We were referred to Jerry because he is a certified arborist. He respects the oaks, but also knows they need to be properly trimmed to keep us safe. Jerry always gets the necessary permits when he works on the Grand trees. The inspectors at the City respect his opinion and appreciate his professionalism. His crews are safety conscious when working. They clean up the property after the job is done. The cost is fair, not the cheapest, but reasonable. Jerry has to schedule in advance because he is busy. He comes on the scheduled day, does the work we agreed to and charges the agreed price. We once had another provider come do some trimming on a "big deal". The contrast in their lack of professionalism made me always go back to Independent, even if the cost is slightly higher.

I was not home at the time of the removal and was delighted when I returned and found the work had been done and the site all cleaned up. I communicated with Jordan Upcavage by telephone and found him to be very responsive and professional. This company does have a minimum amount of $150 that they charge for any job which may be a consideration for anyone with a small job.
Description of Work: I needed to have a 20 year old ligustrum tree removed from the front of my house. I called Independent Tree Service because I had used them previously and had a good experience at that time.

Jerry responded immediately. When I told him I was in a time crunch, he readjusted his schedule to get the work done in my time frame. He is excellent in planning the scope of work and very professional. His crew showed up as promised and did a fantastic job. All debris was hauled away and the result was fantastic. I highly recommend Independent Tree Service.

They came out to give me the estimate the day of my inquiry and arrived to do the work on the scheduled day at 9:00 A.M.. All work was done to my satisfaction with thorough clean-up. The elm turned out beautiful and looks like a large Bonsai. Workers were cordial and very professional. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will use them again.
Description of Work: Trimmed elm in front yard to remove all deadwood and moss. Removed part of a bottle brush tree crushing existing rain gutter. Removed two oak limbs overhanging part of the yard and removed a tall white bird of paradise.

Outstanding effort from estimate to completion; this is the second time I have used this company. Jerry demonstrates exceptional knowledge as a certified arborist that I have not seen from other tree "experts." He gave me written and priced options for how to deal with the large oak tree from which to choose from and accessed the health of the tree. The oak had one oversized limb that overhung my home which I was concerned could lead to a problem during the hurricane season. The team doing the work was quite careful while cutting, removing and lowering small sections of large branches by rope after cutting them from the sky bucket lift. It was difficult and dangerous work but well executed and nothing was dropped on my house nor my neighbors home. Another large brach overhung the neighborhood sidewalk and it was completely removed and other select branches were trimmed. All cut branches were gathered and grinded on site, all debris was picked up and sidewalks and neighbors driveway where they parked was blown off. No surprises on price, exactly what was promised.
Description of Work: Removed extremely large brach overhanging house and other select branches, all large size, from oak near front of house.
