Report
I employed Mountain Tree Care to remove two pairs of large aspens that were dead or dying. They were very prompt in getting back to me with a quote. The date was quite a long way in the future because of the demand for their work, but they duly arrived at the time and date promised and very efficiently removed the trees. The stumps were ground out the same day, and they tidied up after the removal.
The workforce that arrived knew exactly what they were doing, including some specific requirements I had mentioned when first booking the work. Overall I was very impressed with their professionalism, on-time arrival and efficiency. They were also very safety conscious, which I was pleased to see. I am very happy with the service they provided and would happily use them again.

Aaron was able to meet with me quickly and knows so much about trees. Even the history of the local weather that damaged an ornamental fruit tree and what could be done for it at this point. His crew did a great job pruning with a thorough clean up afterwards. Highly recommend Mountain Tree Care.

Long story short, we had to get a Box Elder removed and needed it done quickly. Mountain Tree Care came right out and gave us an estimate and were able to get a crew out there to complete the job within a week. They did a fantastic job. Both Caleb and Jacob were prompt, professional, friendly, and did a great job cleaning up afterwards. There were some obstacles that made cutting the stump low difficult, but they took their time and got it lower than we even expected. I highly recommend Mountain Tree Care!

Mountain Tree Care did a great job of removing my two trees. Clean-up was great, you would never know they there. Price was great, and my work was scheduled quickly. I would use again and recommend.
