Description of Work: Two Trees removed and shaped up 4 other trees. We made an appointment to view the job. when I called to confirm, Gary said he forgot our appt. but would still make it over-but he'd be late. |I should have asked more questions about grinding out the stumps and cleaning the mess up.sometimes paying a little extra is worth it. Gary was very personable and seemed like he knew his stuff

Gary was very quick to respond and to perform the work. We had some questions on completion, and Gary was here early the next day to answer and provide added service HIMSELF! He really cares about customer service and repeat business. We appreciate this quality in a business owner.

Description of Work: Cut damaged trees and dig out the root of arborvitae, 14 of them. They left some root sticking out so I cut them off as deep as I could so that the ground is smoother. I seeded grass seeds in the entire area. The grass sprouted and able to cut at the end of the season. They cleaned up well. The Cutting Edge is a logger not an arborist. So the job is just cutting the trees I would hire them. If the job is involved trimming or cutting branches I would hire an arborist.

I called Gary and asked for an estimate. We agreed on a time for him to do the estimate. He arrived on time for the estimate. We came to an agreement and I signed a contract. Gary returned and did the work, as specified, at the agreed upon time and to the agreed upon standards. He behaved professionally and was very personable and easy to work with at all phases of the project. I am very satisfied with the work done.
Description of Work: Gary removed two trees, one a large Ash with large limbs that extended over both my roof and the neighbors roof. He also removed some overgrown Arborvitaes near the house. He ground out the two tree stumps and pulled up the Arborvitae stumps. He and his crew swept sawdust and other debris from the roofs of mine and my neighbor's house. They removed all parts of the trees and left the worksite in the condition stipulated in the agreement.

Description of Work: I recently purchased a home with lots of trees and vegetation which had not been maintained. There were several large trees alongside the house I wanted trimmed back. There were also two large oaks, one which had partially split two years ago and so presented a hazard since if it were to split again it would likely fall toward the house. The other oak was on the backside of the house and there were also a couple of smaller elms further back which were leaning towards a power line. Gary showed up to provide the estimate promptly. My yard is a difficult one because there's no vehicle access to the back yard, and the yard sloped up hill at about 20 degrees and has lots of thick brush. So a climber would be needed for all of the trees as opposed to just using an aerial. Gary also pointed out that the two trees on the side that I wanted trim were rotting at the trunk and so he recommended just cutting them down as well. I agreed to that and when the trunks were cut there were certainly large hollow spots developing so I was glad he made that call. Because the cleanup work would have been more time consuming given the no vehicle acces and thick underbrush I elected to just have them down all the trees and leave them in place and I am working on cleaning things up myself. But all the agreed work was done without any problems. I would definitely use this company again in the future.

Gary responded very quickly to my request to look at the trees at a house I recently purchased. He identified 2 very sick oak trees and 2 more oaks that should be trimmed. He agreed with me that it would be a good idea to remove 2 pines and an elm that were very close to the house. He also agreed to remove all the buckthorn in the yard and 1 othe elm that was crowding some other more robust trees. He gave me a quote of $2150 to do the work (which did not include grinding the stumps). Once work started, Gary determined that one of the oaks that he was going to trim was actually rotten at the base and he suggested removing it instead, which I agreed. He also showed how another oak was not very healthy and even though it could live anywhere form 5 to 15 more years, there was a good chance that a large portion of it could break off at any time and trimming that part would not leave much of a tree. We negotiated removing the 2 oaks for an additional $1150. It took Gary and his team 3 days to remove and clear out everything. He also left me a stack of firewood that should last me about 3 years (we don't light a lot of fires). During the process a large branch landed on and damaged our chain-link fence. Gary fixed the damages the next day. I found Gary to be very professional, his team fast and efficient and his prices excellent. My wife and I were sad to see so many trees leave, but we are confident the remaining trees are healthy and now our yard looks much bigger.
