Tree Removal

Let's start this review out on a positive note... We hired Benjamin & Sons Tree Service to fall and remove 4 swamp willows. These trees were very old and very large. We have been given several estimates through the years that were simply outrageous, most likely due to the size and unpredictability of these type trees. We chose to go with Benjamin & Sons because they were insured,offered a great rate, and a local family owned business. They safely removed 80% of the trees. That is the end of my positivity... We were told stump grinding would be more than previously quoted, due to the length of time the job had taken. Never mind the fact that their work day consisted of 5 days 11am-4:30pm! We opted to not have the stumps ground out at this time. We were told that the 4 foot stumps remaining would be taken down to ground level in 2-3 weeks, due to the ground being too wet and the company having far too many other jobs to do. 2 trees with large sections of the trunks were just left, and 4- 4 foot stumps at 5 weeks later, no attempt to return. For a company that prides themselves on leaving your property like they were never there, my property was left an absolute mess!

This second time my husband and I have used Benjamin tree service. And again they did a excellent job. I recommend them to anyone. They reasonable rates and they clean up debris like nothing done. Anyone need tree service call. They are fantastic. Thank you. Mike and Deb Kelly .
