Fred and Melissa are great to work with. We hired them to assist with a one-off job and ended up asking them to take over our ongoing maintenance at multiple properties. Communication is excellent. They're quick to tackle whatever needs to be done and billing has always been clear and fair.
There's "a coupla guys with chainsaws" and then there's Mountain Wren. If you want it done right, with the knowledge that comes from experience as a tree guy and as a forest firefighter, Mountain Wren is the place to go.
Fred did a great job with tree removal. I will hire him again. Thank you, Fred 😊
Fred at Mountain Wren removed a dying tree from my property over the weekend. He was responsive, friendly, and professional, all at a great price. I'll be using and recommending his services in the future for sure!
Fred has been our arborist for years. We find him highly skilled and completely trustworthy.
