I have recommended them to my parents for some yard work they need done.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Very professional and did a good job in removing a large stup from a large spruce. When the work was finished it doesn't even look that there ever was a tree that existed at that spot.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I had a dangerously angled Russian Olive, which is a nasty thorny tree. They swiftly and surprisingly quietly cut down the beast. Everything was taken away, even the ling narrow leafs, which I was not expecting. Cost was as quoted, so no surprises. Quick and thorough, I recommend easily.
