Wow! Super impressed with the quality of service provided by Howard Hansen of Heartwood Tree Care. If you have trees and care about your home, you need to keep this company in mind.
I contacted Howard because I needed help with 7 Australian Bottle trees in my front yard. They were a mess! Always losing leaves, which made my property an embarrassing disaster, and dropping limbs at random. I exhausted every possible scenario of tending to the trees myself, from various Internet searches about tree health and maintenance, to following every piece of advice I could get from local nurseries. Nothing worked. I didn't know what to do next, but I knew I had to do something. One of my neighbors constantly had my leaves covering his lawn, and another neighbor parks his shiny new truck (on his own driveway) under one of the trees. Needless to say, my concern of damaging someone else's property or my own was growing.
When I contacted Howard, he came over to take a look and assess the situation promptly. He was extremely knowledgeable about diagnosing the health of the trees, the attributes of the species as a whole, and listened intently to my questions and concerns. I ultimately decided the trees would never be what I wanted them to be, and in the interest of my home's appearance and safety, I asked for a quote for removing the trees.
When I received the quote, I accepted immediately (the price was extremely reasonable) and asked Howard to schedule the work at his earliest convenience. While he was there, he discussed how he would remove the trees safely, which was also a concern of mine, given the proximity to my house, the neighbors, the street, and a fire hydrant. His ability to articulate the manner in which he would work really put my mind at ease.
On the scheduled workday, Howard arrived when he said he would, and came prepared with everything he needed to complete the task at hand. I observed through a window and was completely amazed at the care and attention to detail he took while working. He did absolutely everything we discussed and left my yard tidy and looking great. I was so impressed with the quality and value of the service he provided that I asked for a stack of business cards I can give to friends and family.
I will be installing a couple new trees when I receive HOA approval. Guess who I'll be calling to handle that project? Howard Hansen and Heartwood Tree Care. By the way, two other homeowners on my street will be having Howard do tree work. He left a great impression with everyone who noticed his skill and work ethic.
