Like a freshly cleaned and clutter free room! A collegial group of 5 men from Toronto Tree Removal worked for 6 solid hours today taking down a soaring spruce and a mature maple wedged between two sheds and in direct contact with a fence and hydro wires. They also limbed two larger spruces similar in size to Jack's beanstalk. The trees had been neglected for years upon years and now they look rejuvenated and my yard is a pleasure to view. Someone on the team has a great esthetic eye!
It took a little time (just over a week) to pin Aaron, the owner/manager, down for a consultation but once I figured out he was a phone guy (not so much an emailer) things happened very quickly and promptly. I met with Aaron on October 19th and we jointly chose today for the work to be done. After collecting price advice, reading the Homestars reviews and meeting Aaron in person for the consult, I felt absolutely no need to go comparison shopping. He and his team were amiable and frank, the price was entirely reasonable, and they honored every detail discussed. Aaron followed up on the day within an hour.
The team had to access our side and backyard neighbours' properties and they took the time to protect the properties before starting their work. All yards were left cleaner than they found them. The truck and chipper didn't fit easily on my midtown-Toronto street and we had to block a neighbour's driveway. I was pleased that one of the team members was always aware and available to move the truck promptly when my neighbour returned home.
I could stop my glowing review right here but I really want to mention two additional touches that impressed me. In addition to the chipped wood, some wood was repurposed in other ways: 1) We had a small existing pile of wood from a fruit tree that Aaron agreed to remove. He chose to save it to be used for smoking planks and 2) Aaron knew a contact who is a floral artist; She came over to collect many of the spruce branches to use in her arrangements.
I will most definitely be calling Toronto Tree Removal for any future needs and will be recommending them to neighbours, friends and family.
