Robbie K. · Alton

"They came out and gave me an estimate. The estimate was very detailed and included their insurance information. I also got a quote on stump grinding. I had no issues when I declined that option. After the job was scheduled and done they sent me a bill after making sure I was satisfied!"

Alice L. · Alton

"Matt clearly knows and cares about trees, and not just trees, but also the context of the whole environment: the possible impacts on bees, birds, pets, etc. of the treatments my property needed. I found him reliable, easy, and pleasant to work with."

It depends on where the tree stands. Trees in the public right-of-way or parkway strip are generally the city's rather than yours; trees fully inside your property lines usually are not. Requirements vary by municipality, so we confirm what applies at your address before we quote, and we pull any permit the work needs.
