DATE OF SERVICE: â ¢ October 5-9, 2020 BRIEF OVERVIEW: For those of you who are not interested in the details and simply want the bottom line: â ¢ We had three large evergreens that were close to the house and posed a constant high-wind threat. Slightly beyond were seven more that were â aestheticâ removals. All were in an area of our landscaping that, while not â groomed,â still required a light touch. â ¢ Darin and his five-man crew spent 5 intensive days climbing, limbing, topping, falling, chipping, hauling and cleaning. From beginning to end they were skilled, efficient, conscientious, and pleasant. â ¢ My wife and I are both retired ICU nurses. We performed at the highest of standards and always anticipate the same of others. Darin and his crew exceeded our expectations in every regard! â ¢ We have absolutely no regrets! If a need arises in the future, we will contract Darin and ATM again without a second thought. â ¢ We unequivocally and enthusiastically recommend Darin Shoemaker and Advanced Tree Removal. DETAILS: BOSS Darin Shoemaker is an outstanding man. He is bright, articulate and observant. On his first visit to evaluate our project he was on his way home after a very long day. Nonetheless, he spent more than an hour walking the area with me. He listened carefully to my requests, explained what could and could not be done, and offered alternative suggestionsâ some that actually reduced the extent of the work and all of which we ended up following. He noticed details that others had failed to see e.g. the location of our nearby septic tanks and drain field. Most importantly, it became clear that he was a person that I could trust. Darin was only the second contractor that I spoke with but he was the last. CREW Except for a few brief absences, Darin supervised and worked alongside a five-man crew: Butch Randy Oscar Lupe Austin All were experienced and skilled and they worked well together. In the mornings they would gather for a few minutes and Darin would delineate responsibilities and reiterate the goals for the day. There was always an emphasis on safety and communication. WORKMANSHIP / WORK ETHIC Darin and his crew worked efficiently and hard and they clearly took pride in that. Our west patio was on a small knoll above their work area and I often sat and watched them. It was a delight! Lupe was the climber on this job and it was fascinating to watch him deal with his various lines, harnesses and saw. Darin had a Bobcat with a grapple attachment that he used to move the smaller trees and generally police the site. His skill and precision was amazing and he used a trackhoe for the larger logs with equal dexterity. I would usually chat with the crew for a few minutes at the end of the day as they were preparing to leave. They were always proud about what was accomplished and pleased with the progress toward the desired end result. BOTTOM LINE: To reiterate the statement above: we unequivocally and enthusiastically recommend Darin Shoemaker and Advanced Tree Removal

These guys totally exceeded my expectations. Darin showed up within 24 hours to give a bid, gave us an amazing quote that was within our budget and was out the next day to take our trees down. I’d like to thank Darin and Austen for their hard work and generosity.

There was an issue with a neighbor that they handled extremely professionally. They did everything they could to prevent mishaps. The cleanup after was great. I would use them again.

Did a very profesional job and gave me suggestions for later work that would protect my home.

Did a nice job and were friendly.

Job well done, with no damage done while removing a half-fallen tree.

Daren's team came on time, and right to work! They were very skilled and knowledgeable, and fast! My yard was left better than when they started. I would highly recommended they to anyone needing tree remover.

Daren and his team have the skills and knowledge to do a complex job efficiently and safely. They removed a hazardous deciduous tree from my back yard without incident and within my budget.

We had a big, complicated job around the perimeter of our 2 acre yard with many obstacles to work around. The work ranged from logging out, for resale, a grove of cedar trees that were sandwiched between the fence and the house, to "lassoing" a tree angling out over the neighbor's yard, to taking down towering dead trees while avoiding precious plants and playground equipment at the foot. Every time we had thought we had seen all their great tricks, they would come up with new acrobatics for the next challenging situation. They were on time, on schedule, and cleaned up the place beautifully. They also kept us well-informed throughout the process. The price was fair, as well! This is the 5th company I have worked with over the years and is, bar none, the best ever! I will always call on them for any future work.

Able to do the work immediately. Great job. Good clean up.

The consultation was great. Really appreciated the time and expertise. The team did a great job. They were quick, professional and did an amazing job. Will use for any further needs and highly recommend.

Quick and efficient. Everything as described

Project was completed

We had a difficult tree removal with extremely tight quarters. There was risk both to my structures and the neighbor s house. Potential liability was a major concern. However, from every appearance it was handed exactly as Darin said it would with no problems and no drama. One area where Darin went above and beyond is with the cable wires which had to be deinstalled and reinstalled. As he was reinstalling, a little plastic piece failed. He successfully reconnected the cable service and said I would need to call my provider. However, I discovered the next day he had actually done that for me and the free service occurred without me lifting a finger.

Darin was professional and knowledgeable in a dangerous situation.

They showed up on time. They were prepared for the work. They finished the scope of the work within three hours.

Very quick to respond. Came to bid the job just 1 hour after contact. Very knowledgeable. Excellent customer service.

Darin was out to my place and I had a quote within 27 minutes of initial contact! Scheduled for tree removal three days later. They did exactly what I asked them to do and I would definitely use them again and recommend them to people I know.

2-man crew was equivalent to a 10-man crew. They did a great job. I had three 35-ft trees I needed removed. Their quote was fair. Removed the trees (that were right next to our house) safely without damage or issues. Left the cut-up rounds in a nice spot. The only thing I wish I would have known by asking before-hand was whether they take debit or credit card. They only take cash or check as the payment method. This came as a surprise and to be honest, they should take other payment methods as a business. Aside from the payment method aspect, if you are looking for the job to get done right, hire Darin and team at Advanced Tree Removal. I did a lot of research before-hand and got a good amount of quotes. Advanced Tree Removal was top of the stack and backed it up with a quality service.
