"Rick" responded within hour of an email I sent requesting the work be scheduled. (I did not request a bid ahead of time as we have used him twice in the past five years and were highly satisfied with his responsiveness and the exceptional quality of work done by his crew.) Within a week, three trucks and a half dozen men arrived promptly at the scheduled time, performed the work beyond expectations, cleaned the limbs, branches, leaves, and debris from our lawn leaving it immaculate. They also checked the health of the tree and assured us we will have many more years of shade and beauty to enjoy from it. Before leaving, they asked us to inspect their work and made sure we were 100 percent satisfied.
Description of Work: A 40-year-old tree needed dead branches and hundreds of "suckers" removed along with a general clean-up and reshaping.

The offer was a hoax. $99 for $200 worth of tree trimming. I don't feel the quote to perform the service was fair. I asked for my money back and was promptly refunded.

Rick cam out the day after I contacted him for an estimate and see what the job entailed. He told me the coupon would definitely cover the work. A couple days later, one of his men came by, cut off the limb, took it with and left no mess. I was very pleased.
Description of Work: I had a large diseased limb on my maple tree that needed to be sawed off. I contacted one company that had a $350 minimum which I thought was way overpriced. I saw a Gruopon offer of $99 for $200 of work, so I bought it.

Rick quoted our job and told us how hard his team works. He wasn't kidding. We had close to 3 days worth of tree and brush removal - as trees were removed we uncovered additional trees and brush that we wanted to remove. Even with the added work, his team was able to come in at the initial price estimate without any sacrifice in the quality of work. Would recommend to anyone.

Rick prompted visited the house to meet with us while other vendors visited without notifying us of the time and just emailed quotes. He explained the process, gave us knowledgeable recommendations for what should be done now and in the future, and emphasized the safety considerations for both his workers and the house. The crew was friendly and thorough and removed most of the debris from the front yard afterwards.

Large crew showed up on time and quickly removed the huge tree with no problems. Crew asked me how I wanted the other trees trimmed and when done, all debris was completely cleaned up. They did a great job. I only wish their price had been a bit lower, but I wanted to go with professional firm with current insurance given size of tree and proximity to my house and deck. I think they were worth it.
Description of Work: Gray Tree removed a huge silver maple that was near my house and near the property line with my neighbor. Ground out stump of tree that was removed. Also removed branches from another large maple and pruned a small Japanese maple.
