Called Shaun to take a look at a tree that wasn't doing well, and he also pruned the rest of my trees while he was at it. I was impressed by how easy the whole process was—he was responsive, showed up when he said they would, and prices were very reasonable. You can tell he knows what he is doing and cares about the outcome for the client!

Found Shaun online because I wanted to support a local business. And this paid off. He got back to me right away and was out the next day to Inspect and give me a free estimate. No pressure to commit or anything. We had high winds in the forecast and I was concerned one of my damaged trees might fall. He came out right away and ratchet strapped my tree, and did an emergency trim on the spot to keep it from falling. He took care of the rest of the job the next week, and took care of a pile of wood and brush that my tree had been dropping for the last 3 years. Sad to see these trees go, but super pleased with Shaun and Tree Labs. I'd recommend his service to anyone who needs help with tree pruning, removal, planting, etc. will definitely use him when we decide to plant replacement trees. Bonus: kept my kids occupied and away from the TV for 2 days!
