"Worked closely with me about trimming the tree. Scotts crew is knowledgeable and don't try to do unnecessary work.They did everything by hand as there was no way to get the cherry picker to the back. All debris was carried out and blown clean. They had the lowest bid for doing extensive work in our complex as well."
— Denise Verbeck
"Scott was very professional and prompt, he and his crew was there on time ,they removed the 100 foot pine that had fallen on the fence and the massive root ball in one day,when they were done you couldn't tell the tree was ever there.
