I found Jamie the owner of Alpha to be real cool when we met. We thoroughly discussed the plans and he offered a price that seemed highish considering that I would be doing the clean-up (which took four hours), but hey, I can't really climb that oak myself, so I paid his requested amount. He had to cancel the day-of - about an hour late in fact. He made it over a couple days later. Did a good job cutting, was safe and all that. We seem to have had a miscommunication about when he would finish; I told him "Why don't you go ahead and go" after a while. He said "Don't you want us to do that?" (pointing to the last part of the job - above the garage). I said "Nah I can take care of it." Turns out I thought he was referring to the pile of felled branches, and he was apparently referring to the last part of the job. I suppose I forgot about that part. So it was kinda 50/50. But his ability to communicate with me and get back out here to finish what I paid him for was seriously lacking. I have now written him off, expecting he won't make it.
Description of Work: Trimmed a number of trees. Hung a bird feeder for me - gratis. Was going to try and get some leaves out of my rain gutter, but didn't do so. Forgot.

Called on a Friday. Came on the following Wednesday. Was there less than an hour and did a thorough job removing the stump.
Description of Work: Jamie Clemmons is the owner who performs most of the work. He has taken all of the classes necessary to be considered a certified arborist, but he has a family, and hasn't yet taken the exam. He knows his stuff. He is great with trees. I have used his company numerous times over the past few years and he is always fantastic, professional and reasonable. He does great work, does not charge an arm and leg, he is very fair. He is kind and he does the majority of the work himself. This last time I just needed a stump removed and he came right over and did it. The machine was massive and he was done in less than an hour. You can't even tell there was a tree there. He's great! If you need a tree guy or a stump removed, he is the person to call.
