We recently had Green Heritage Tree Services remove some trees from our back yard. We had a few quotes from other companies before getting the work done. Wesley Jenkins, the owner of Green Heritage , came to give us the quote. The quote was received quickly and proved to be our best price. The company has all the insurance coverage requirements and Wesley has other related credentials that are helpful. They came to do the work in a timely fashion showing up at mid day and finishing by late afternoon. It was obvious they are safety conscious. They did a good clean up. We were very impressed and

We had Wesley come and remove 5 dead trees off the cliff in front of our house yesterday. He climbed the trees like a monkey and had them all down in under 3 hours, cut into moveable pieces (as requested for our fireplace in the winter) and even helped trim a few branches that were encroaching on some power lines coming into the house. Wesley and his assistant Paul were very polite, speedy and professional. I would and already have recommended them to others and will be calling them again in the future! Thank you for the amazing work!

Wesley was great. We had an big old elm tree that looked like it might be a danger to our home. He said it was healthy enough, but could stand to lose some of the dead limbs. He saved the tree and protected our house! Thanks!
