Gillaspie Tree Service

David arrived promptly to give an estimate, and he and his crew arrived on time to do the work. The work was done quickly and safely. We had a special request to leave approximately 12' of one large tree standing to become a wildlife snag. We also asked that the crew dump the chips in the front yard so that we could use it as mulch. There was no problem with any of our requests, and everything was done at a fair price. Any time we need tree service in the future, we will go with Gillaspie Tree Service.

Dave showed up on time, showed me his bond license as requested, removed the tree as described (no whoops!), cleaned up nicely. Very personable. Did much of the work from a bucket lift truck. After asking he took wood away. Ground most of the smaller stuff in a large chipper.

My experience with Dave Gillaspie was nothing but positive. He answered my call right away; set up a time to view the job and give me a quote and then set up a date to remove the stump. After not receiving a call back from one of the "bigger" services and having to fire one who faiIed to show up or call, I was beginning to wonder. I was concerned as the stump was right up against the house, which has a basement, and did not wish to compromise the basement walls. Dave showed up on the date and at the time agreed. He took steps to protect nearby shrubbery. He was able to totally remove the stump and roots within a short time. I love a man who cleans up after himself! He cleaned up the site and driveway. His manner was polite and professional and he's a really nice guy. I would not hesitate to recommend him based on his work.

Working under less-than-perfect conditions (houses close to trees, confined spaces) Dave Gillaspie did a great job: no damage at all to buildings, shrubs, lawns, sidewalks; tree trunks were cut into the requested lengths and every scrap of debris was shredded and removed. Dave visited the site, gave us a detailed written estimate, started and finished very close to the promised dates (there were several days of severely bad weather just before he planned to start).

They were referred to us. He went above and beyond what we were talking about doing. I think he is very reliable and he follows through with what he said he would do. He worked with me very closely.
