Amazing service...very fair prices, and honest, good people. We had a cord of wood delivered. Alex was great with communication, fit me right into schedule, and delivered and was on time. His employee, Luke, stacked all the wood. Looks perfect!! And He had a great personality to boot. Would recommend them over and over again!! 100 stars!! Don't waste your time looking anywhere else. Nice hardworking guys.
Really screwed a friend of mine over…she wrote a detailed review and it was removed. Kind of pathetic really!
When it comes to professionalism and getting the job done, there is no better than Alex and his team! I have hired Alex multiple times to take care of many trees that had potentially dangerous implications for my property. This time around like the others, Alex was able to not only remove the trees completely but also was professional, considerate, and most important a pleasure to work with. Hillstead Property Management has gained a lifelong customer and is always the first I recommend to friends and family to which he has also done many immaculate jobs for them too. I cannot express how happy I am with their service and how lucky I feel to have a "Tree Guy" that I have complete confidence in. I did not take a before picture but I was able to find an older picture to show the before so please see below how Alex and his team renewed my property and gave me a front lawn to use!
We hired Alex and his crew to cut some trees and limbs that were overgrown and hanging over our yard and barn. These guys were great to work with and very helpful. Alex helped us decide which trees needed to come down and which were healthy enough to stay. We did have to reschedule from spring to late fall due to nesting green herons in the pines nearby which they were very respectful of and understanding of our decision. Highly recommend!
Alex and crew were excellent. Fast, efficient, professional and affordable. Very happy with service. Would definitely call again!
