I needed to trim my enormous cherry trees in my backyard. I am pleased to have found Shady Lane to do the work for me. Everything is smooth from the first contact by e-mail until the work done at the end. You guys were very professional. They were clear about what to do and the quote was reasonable. The day I had to do the work, I wasn't available to be there, but when I got home, everything was perfect and clean. That was really professional work. I would highly recommend them.

Shady Lane rescued our old magnolia from a bad scale infestation a few years ago. We've used them for preventative treatment a couple of times since. We've found them to be very responsive, knowledgeable and competitively priced.

My compliments and thanks to Shady Lane Expert Tree Care on a job well done. My request was not for one of their usual services but was to have some Christmas lights put on my 35' spruce tree. Allan and Robert arrived on time, in fact a bit early and did a great job installing the lights and removing some old ones. Friendly, efficient and very personable guys. All in all, including my communications with Connie and Jeremy who arranged the appointment, this was a very pleasant experience. I'm certain I will use their service again and would recommend them to anyone needing a tree service company

Jonathan and his team took one of our tree down which was comprised and was sooner or later going to fall on our neighbours house. The whole neighbourhood was out watching the spectacle. You guys did an amazing job. Thanks Sandra.
