“They started and finished the job in less than an hour and half.”

"The Advantage Tree crew just finished removing a 60 ft. tree in my walking garden. The guys did a great job navigating a fence, a new 20 ft. maple tree, a pergola swing structure and the hundreds of plants and bushes below the tree. They started and finished the job in less than an hour and half. All four guys were personable and easy to communicate with. Advantage Tree is reasonable in price and were prompt in responding via emails including the initial review and quote process. I highly recommend this company!!"
