## The honest read

Good Old Boys Tree Services takes down trees and grinds stumps; on its BBB page the company describes its services as tree removals, stump removals and stump grinding.

A recent Google customer wrote that Brian Palmer and his team of arborists arrived on time and took down about ten trees, and that when they were done the tree trunks were stacked neatly and the lawn was raked clean.

A 2024 customer wrote that Brian came up with a plan to use a crane for the tree removal, then met with the crane company at the residence and took multiple measurements of the driveway and property. In that 2024 account, several trees needed to be hoisted over the house with the crane, and the customer said neither the property nor the house was damaged. A 2025 customer said workers took down a tree in the front yard and a limb off a backyard tree, controlling the limbs with a pulley; after the stump grind, that 2025 customer said they put in fresh soil, seeded and laid down hay. A 2024 customer said Brian and his crew took down a rotting tree and chipped and ground 3 stumps. A 2024 customer said they called on a Saturday and had a reasonable quote within a few hours.

A recent Google reviewer who drives by a house where the company worked wrote that 3 huge trucks were illegally parked on a frequently busy sidewalk, and that the work ruined a flowering tree that now looks like a kidney bean.

The business holds an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau and 4.8 stars from 23 ratings on Google.

**Strengths:**
- Crane tree removal — a 2024 customer said Brian planned the job with a crane
- A neat cleanup — a recent customer said trunks were stacked and the lawn raked
- A quick quote — a 2024 customer had one within a few hours

**Concerns:**
- Sidewalk parking — a recent reviewer said 3 trucks were parked on a busy sidewalk
- A ruined flowering tree — a recent reviewer said the work ruined it
