Budget Tree Expert

Called around several places to get estimates for above work. They werent the cheapest but they seemed reasonable and I liked his website/ideology regarding over pruning and lion's tailing of trees. Called to set up free estimate, planned for him to come around 10am. He called a few minutes before and said he was running about 20-30 minutes late. Got a call from his partner (Chris Hutchinson), said he was in the area and can do an estimate. Overall he was still about an hour late for the estimate, but he called at least 6 times to let me know he was running late. He looked at the trees and the worked needed to be done, quoted 450, came down to 400 even without negotiating since they were during their slow time. I agreed and they were willing to come out on Saturday at 9am. Earl Smith (owner of Budget Tree Expert) and Chris Hutchinson (H&H Tree Service) both came out Saturday morning. They both work together on various jobs even though they own separate companies. They were 30 minutes late, but their communication is great, they called to let me know. They went to work, completed the above work, welcomed input from me on the progress and pruned the way I wanted to see the trees. They did a great job removing the vine/thorny bush. Overall great job, completed in 3.5 hours. Nice guys, gave me advice for the trees, provided additional services without pressure (tree fertilization). Will hire again when needed.
