Had a truly massive eucalyptus tree (around 120' high) taken down two days ago by these fantastic people. It was fascinating to watch their professionalism (not to mention the bravery of the climber). The team was friendly and helpful even stopping to assist in unloading a new kitchen being delivered to the nearest neighbour, and they cleared up all the resulting detritus. I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending them.
