Felt a strong urge to leave a review. Simply fantastic!
Gavin and Tom are whom you should be calling with your 'tree woes.' Courteous, professional, reliable...I could go on and on. Needed work done within a limited time frame and Gavin came through with a competetive price via email (lower than the two other companies that I contacted) and left my property clean! For a job that size I was expecting a disaster in my backyard. Was left speechless as to their thoroughness and aptitude. Would highly recommend!
Thanks, Gavin! (and Tom!)

Gavin is amazing! We had started out with a different company that after quoting the project, did not return calls and left us hanging for weeks. We got in touch with Gavin, who was professional and courteous and got us a quote within two days. His price for the job was very competitive. After being left in the lurch by the previous tree removal service, we needed work done quickly to accommodate a landscaping company, and Gavin was here within the week. He was very careful on the job site, and took a great deal of care on our property. The job was done promptly, correctly, on time and on quote

Gavin and his crew were fantastic! It is so rare to meet such a warm personality and someone who takes pride in their work. Unlike most of my experiences with various contractors, I did not have to point anything out, argue about contracts, or micro manage the project. Gavin and his crew did everything that was discussed and went above and beyond that! I am so impressed and would highly recommend him!

Had Gavin and his crew over to my house in Hamilton to trim several trees and completely remove a few. They showed up on time and were done on time and did clean, professional job, for a reasonable price. In my case, the neighbours wanted to weigh-in on what was being cut. I liked it that Gavin was ok with making several decisions on-the-spot as to some of the limbs that were being removed. I would hire them again.

Gavin and Dennis cut down a big dead pine tree and did an excellent job. It was easy and fast to obtain a quote remotely as we spoke on the phone and the quote with a fair price was emailed to me after a few days. During the job, when Gavin noticed that the tree is used to hold up a wobbly fence at the back, he graciously suggested and helped leave a bit of the tree trunk and nail it to the fence.

The clean-up was very thorough and the back yard looked neater than before! It was a pleasure to work with Gavin as he went above and beyond to get the job done well. I would definitely recommend Gavin
