This is by far the most exceptional experience I could have received in dealing with a nightmare of a tree I acquired when I bought my house. From the very first contact with Tammy, to the interactions with Evan, Lisa, and finally Andy and his crew, this company has exceeded all expectations. Every single employee I interacted with is knowledgeable, personable polite, and professional. I feel fortunate to have them fulfill my landscaping, tree trimming, and stump removal needs from this moment on. I am confident in their abilities as they all have shown immense skill. Impressive, actually. I would give more than 5 stars if I could.

We were very pleased with the exceptional job Cumberland Valley Tree Service did in removing standing and downed trees on our property! Knowledgeable, considerate, and very hardworking-all around a great group of workers! Arrived on time, careful not to tear up yard and fields with equipment. We definitely would use their tree service again and highly recommend their company.
