We have 3 employees we don't all usually work, we do mostly tree topping but we remove tree and stumps also, we can do jobs as big as clearing out tree lines to just removing a tree dead or to close to the house. We use climbers mostly so we don't destroy yards with bucket trucks and spilling hydrolic oil everywhere.

"John was here to help take care of a well issue. He and another employee were here less than an hour. We were told by John that our bill wouldn’t be close to $900 and they would bill us. We received a bill for over $800 with a $500 dollar labor charge. When I called and spoke with Travis his reason for the high labor charge was they had to “prepare” the tuck and we were charged labor the minute they started loading their truck to come to our home which is a 15 min drive. Travis was rude and stated he doesn’t care about reviews and he has plenty of other customers . I wouldn’t recommend them for anyone or any job due to their outrageous labor charge. Travis is extremely rude and doesn’t need any more customers according to him so I would recommend taking your business elsewhere."

The installation process for a concrete basement floor spans several days to weeks, depending on project scope. Preparation work includes removing existing flooring, creating proper drainage, and establishing a suitable base. The concrete itself requires adequate curing time before finishing treatments can be applied. Weather conditions, basement accessibility, and chosen finish types all influence the overall timeline.
Concrete slabs are constructed at ground level as part of a foundation system, while basement floors are installed below grade within an existing foundation structure. Basement installations often require additional moisture control measures due to their subterranean environment. Both utilize similar materials, but basement floors frequently need specialized preparation to address ground moisture issues and integration with existing foundation walls.
While some preparatory aspects might be manageable for experienced DIYers, concrete basement floor installation requires professional expertise. The process involves precise measurements, proper reinforcement placement, and skilled finishing techniques. Errors in mixing, pouring, or curing can lead to significant structural problems. Most homeowners find that professional installation, though more expensive initially, provides better long-term value and performance.
Proper maintenance includes regular sweeping and occasional mopping with appropriate cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage sealants or concrete surfaces. Address spills promptly to prevent staining. Inspect periodically for cracks or signs of moisture problems. Reapply sealants according to product specifications to maintain moisture resistance. Controlling basement humidity helps preserve the floor's condition over time.
A properly installed concrete basement floor can improve moisture management when incorporated with appropriate waterproofing measures. Vapor barriers, drainage systems, and quality sealants all contribute to moisture control. However, concrete alone cannot resolve serious foundation water issues or hydrostatic pressure problems. Comprehensive waterproofing approaches that address exterior drainage, foundation walls, and interior systems provide the best results for persistent moisture concerns.
