Had some initial difficulty reaching the company (they had email issues) and getting the job scheduled, but the crew did a very nice job. Stumps and surface roots were removed and they were careful to not trample surrounding plantings. Price was very reasonable and we would hire again.

I finally picked a new tree to have planted today by a local nursery in the same spot where the ash tree was located, with the understanding the stump was ground and removed. When they arrived, they showed me where the entire stump remains. The nursery doesn't have equipment to grind a stump, only roots. I had to have them plant the new tree 5 feet away from the original. Obviously, it's not the end of the world, but I was really upset and disappointed when I learned that a new tree could not be planted there. After leaving a message with Gray Tree Service about how upset I was and asking that they refund me for the service they never provided, I received a phone call back within 10 minutes. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name, but he explained that in the tree business, it's understood that 'stump removal' only removes a stump down 6-12". It is never advisable to plant a large tree in the same spot. It simply won't survive. After his explanation and apologetic tone for not explaining this to me at the time of the service, we both concluded that this is something he might want to educate his customers about in the future. I really appreciated his understanding and calm explanation. I will definitely share this information with any friends/family removing/planting trees in the future.
Description of Work: I paid to have an ash tree and stump removed last august (2016). This service is written on my receipt, 'Remove dead ash tree and stump.'

After we accepted the proposal I asked for proof of insurance, which was emailed the next day. On the scheduled day the crew was delayed a little by rain but I was notified by email of the new estimated arrival time. Once they arrived they got right to work, which involved ladders, ropes, and a lot of climbing. The crew was pleasant and efficient. They were careful not to let falling tree limbs crush my native plant garden, and they cleaned up the fallen debris afterwards. I wanted to keep some of the tree limbs to use as garden borders; they were very accommodating of this request and my request for some wood chips. The price was extremely reasonable for the large crew and the amount and physical challenges of the work. I had used them before and will use them again.
Description of Work: We needed some dead limbs pruned from our large silve maple in the backyard. We also had a small dead redbud tree that needed to be removed.
