Excellent service, Paul is obviously very knowledgable and capable. HIs team were punctual and professional. Paul shared a great deal of advice and gave us a great deal of education regarding our new property with a wooded lot. Very reasonable service and rate aimed at appropriate lot management, tree conservation and building a relationship with the estate rather than making money for unnecessary tree removal. Highly recommended
