We recently removed our 75-year-old oak tree, which was 12 feet around and 85 feet tall. It had survived lightning strikes, poor pruning, and insect infestations over the years. That's why we chose Arbor Grove Tree Care, a Certified Arborist and Tree Risk Assessment Qualified company, to handle the job safely. Watching their team work together was impressive. They made a difficult job look easy. The brave hero in the tree, the crane operator, and the ground crew communicated smoothly and worked in sync. They chipped or hauled away everything. The cleanup was so thorough you couldn't tell they'd been there. The cost was reasonable for the six hours it took to complete. The team was professional, experienced, orderly, and efficient. I learned a lot from the process. I would definitely use Arbor Grove Tree Care again and highly recommend their services.
