Poor communication between the arborist and crew doing the work. Forman for the job was unprofessional rude and disrespectful, team had a snowball fight while working our job, didnt trim trees as arborist had agreed with us, couldnt get a return call from the office on details, and not 1 crew member had a mask on while working. I would never use them again.

We highly recommend Shadywood Tree Experts. We used them (Chad) for stump removal. He is very professional and keeps his word. He was punctual and communicated throughout the entire project. Customer service is number one priority for him and this company. (An addition, Chad is a VET) We will definitely use for other projects and highly recommend.

Shadywood did an excellent job on both our front yard maple and backyard oak. They show great care in preserving the architecture of the tree. When we felt a bit more should come off the tree hanging over our neighbors yard, they came back, listened, assessed and brought the crew back for more pruning. Excellent staff, great work and thorough cleanup! Very impressed with Steve Satherhis extensive knowledge of and deep care about trees and his great customer service skills! I highly recommend Shadywood!
