Sounds a little frightening to me! I'm much more concerned that proper cuts
were made on an already stressed out tree. We decided to do our own trees. We
do a little each season, within the safe window to do so. I'm almost ready to
do some on the live oaks this weekend.

If a huge tree fell into the pool, I'm sure my husband would be freaking out.
Green water would make him go mad!

However, it sounds as if you took the middle road and were happy. I would still
have to see some certification before I let anyone touch my 36" diameter live
oaks.

From time to time I search for recommendations on the Internet and thought
for someone needing a tree trimmer, in the future, I would post this. I
don't work for this company.

This last Monday, my trees where hit badly by the downburst (I'm not sure it
wasn't a small tornado) caused by the storms. After calling around and
getting quotes from about five different services, I went with the cheapest.
The cheapest told me on the day that we had agreed for him to come out, that
he would not be able to haul my trees off for at least a week. So I
contacted the next highest bid, HarvestTree Arbor Care, and asked if he
could get to me quickly, because I had a 30 foot tree in my swimming pool
and it was turning green quickly. He said he would and he did. Even though
his bid was lower that the most other tree trimming companies, I could not
have been more pleased with his services. I even had some fly-by-nighters
walk down my street. They quoted me $500 for a huge chin oak that had fell
in the street. They about died when I told them that I already had someone
that was going to do it for $130. HarvestTree was quick, professional, and
lower costing that most. He will be the first one I call next time I need
trees trimmed.
