The work team [Mark & company] were all: professional, coordinated, accommodating, and above all safe. The job involved cutting down two large and one small Washington palm trees, two large Sago palms, grinding the associated stumps, then trimming numerous trees away from the house. All work was completed in about one hour. The crew handled the job efficiently and in a timely manner. Thanks to all involved. We have used this company numerous times and we will hire them for future work!
