A-1 Tree Service is outstanding! My phone call was returned promptly (thanks Karen!) and Steve came out the next day (earlier than initially planned to beat the spring snow storm!) to give us an estimate. (Another tree service said the job was too big.) We had been worried about these two HUGE pine trees for a while and Steve agreed they were the top priority on our property. The crew showed up the following Monday and got to work straight away. My husband and I kept going out to watch the process because it was so cool! Shout out to Kevin! I may have developed a (non-harassing) crush. (We’re not worthy!!) He is AMAZING!! Kevin (Marine veteran) is the climber and the feller and was incredible to watch as he climbed, swung, and chain-sawed his way through the two ponderous pines, from the very first branch until the final, perfectly placed drops of both trees. A-1’s crew and (also cool) equipment buzzed around efficiently underneath gathering the branches and brush to feed the chipper- who knew they could handle such large branches?!!- or pile the huge logs for removal later. The Vermeer ‘gatherer’ was fun to watch as it lifted logs that seemed to weigh more than it did!! Apparently, our yard is not user-friendly to any type of service, but the company persevered and pushed through all the challenges. Sorry!! DEFINITELY recommend A-1 Tree Service and will call them again when we need them!
