An old tree died. Crew quickly removed it and used a nifty small fast moving tractor to gather and move it 200 ft to mulching machine
Excellent service from start to finish. Great communication, and an excellent job with both tree pruning and tree removal, including stump grinding I required. The quote was provided in person, the price was very reasonable and competitive, and they were able to fit me in that same afternoon to complete the job! Everything was completed professionally and efficiently. Would definitely recommend!
Redback have now completed the removal of some unwanted overgrown trees in both the front and backyards of our residential home and we cannot fault them. They are efficient, well priced and leave the site completely spotless. Highly recommend them for removal of any unwanted or overgrown trees on your property
Good communication and friendly staff. I'd definitely use them again. They removed a tree and pruned 3 other tall trees for me, and when one of their chainsaws leaked oil onto my pavers they, without question, arranged for another contractor to come out and clean the pavers before issuing the final invoice. Good service.
Very professional. Punctual and communication was great! The tree removal team, and stump grinding operator were both great to deal with. Very friendly and super efficient! Anniek in the office was lovely to deal with too! Great job, thank you.
