They shaped the trees that were near the house so that they retained their balanced appearance. The cuts were made appropriately and according to good forestry practices. They cleaned up quickly and neatly. Just a nice couple of guys who knew what they were doing and did it well. They were a little more expensive than other estimates but I wanted someone who could do the correct kind of job of trimming so the trees could heal from the cuts. I would give them my highest recommendation.
Description of Work: The trimmers took out dead limbs, pruned limbs that were close to rubbing on the roof and additional limbs that were rubbing on one another.

Came as scheduled and cut down tree, chipped fallen logs and limbs and then cleaned up all the left over twigs, leaves, etc. No problems. At a later date another crew came in and ground the stump. Again, very quick, clean and professionally done.

The company is great. They were professional and responsive from start to finish, Jack and Kris are extremely helpful and also nice . . . I really can't say enough good things about this company. You can tell they're going to be around, and successful, for a long time to come.
Description of Work: The company removed a few dead trees, some shrubs, and trimmed several very large trees in my yard. They also removed a lot of vines and other unwanted plants.

We were concerned about the health of a large black walnut, a great tree that dominates our back yard. Contacted Guardian because they had a good report on Angie's List. Even in our short initial phone call, Jack was helpful and offered information and options that proved useful. Jack met us that evening (I appreciated his willingness to schedule around my work hours). He was able to diagnose the unsightly but thankfully minor problem we were having AND was able to make recommendations to ensure the long term health of the walnut. He was generous with his time, walking the entire property to listen to our concerns and offer his opinions regarding the characteristics of the different trees and what we might expect to see over the next years. We made it clear that we could spend a relatively small amount of money now, but planned for more work in the future. He stayed to prepare a clear, detailed quote that separated all the work needed by trees throughout the property, which allowed us to select our highest priority items, with a clear understanding of what it would take to address the remaining needs within the dictates of our budget. Based on that quote, we were able to authorize him to schedule some trimming right away. Jack was in touch via email, and his crew returned (as promised) a week later to do the work. They were efficient, safe, and left the yard clean. The tree looks great, with the straggling dead wood removed, the overall shape of the canopy seems refreshed (like it just had a great haircut). We expect to have Guardian back in the future for more trimming on other trees, and to fertilize the highest value trees.
Description of Work: Diagnosed what was (to us) a rather mysterious wound on the trunk of a prized walnut tree, and trimmed away the dead wood and low hanging branches. The crew roped themselves up this very tall tree (without benefit of a lift), trimmed, and removed dead branches.

Three old silver maples in our back yard were overgrown and marred by storm damage. We were about to give up on them and have them cut down. I asked Guardian Tree Experts for an opinion. They could have made a lot more money by telling us the trees were a lost cause. Instead, Jack Richardson advised us that a careful trimming not only could make the trees look good again but would also help save our lawn by allowing in more sunlight. We gave the go-ahead, and the job they did was fantastic. The trees and the whole yard look so much better. Jack did the work quickly for a reasonable price and left the yard absolutely spotless--and a nice half-cord of firewood neatly stacked! Incredible job. I would recommend Guardian to everybody.
Description of Work: Extensive trimming on three silver maple trees; cutting limbs into logs and stacking.
