What a wonderful company to work with. Cost was extremely affordable. They were fast, efficient and cleaned up afterwards. We cannot highly recommend them enough. This was the 2nd time we used them and we will again if needed. They deserve 100 stars in our book.

They respond very quickly whenever you contact them, and they get the job done fast—which is really important to me. They completely removed the dying agave and dead tree from my yard, including the roots. They had been such an eyesore and a headache every time I looked at them, so I’m so relieved to finally have them gone. Thank you so much!

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.

Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.

Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.
