“Great selection of plants, shrubs, trees, etc. Nice inside store of other items like snacks, preserved in jars, olives, coconut oil, eggs, beef, decorative items also.... just gotta go visit to see for yourself. The driveway is one lane long gravel, but all the signs at the front gate indicate it's the right place. To top it off, the owners are very nice and helpful, just wonderful people!“
“Ryan and his crew even returned my dishes clean after I made them lunch to go. If that doesn’t tell you the kind of person and boss he is, let me say more. Ryan goes above and beyond every step of the way. He communicates in advance, something we really appreciate and expect that so many other workers are incapable of doing. Ryan showed up on time (6:45 a.m.) and after being onsite 9+ hours on a 90-degree day apologized for cutting out “early.” Removing large trees is truly a strategic process, an art form really, and one of ours was in close quarters between a carport and fence and another tree more than 40 feet tall was right near healthy large trees. Ryan is careful not just about our property, but also our neighbors’, going so far as to knock on the neighbors’ door, ensuring them their driveway would not be blocked as Ryan and crew removed six large trees near the property line. As soon Ryan cut a branch down, knowing how to have it fall exactly where he wanted, his two employees grabbed it and cleaned up debris. The neighbor later told me how impressed they were with the crew’s efficiency, professionalism and courtesy. Plus, Ryan has his own fleet of equipment (lift truck, wood chipper, debris-hauling truck, etc). We would hire him again and very highly recommend him.
On a side note, the less expensive tree guy we first hired (lesson learned!) was a no-show several mornings and didn’t communicate ‘til hours later and only after I had texted and left voicemails; finally showed up weeks later, with his car and a chainsaw, and thought we wanted trees just topped not removed as discussed; said he didn’t have a wood chipper after his bid included wood chipping; and then, after less than six hours of work, had the audacity to ask us for a $1,000 advance to cover his weeklong family vacation and said he would not be finishing the job until after. We fired him and called Ryan.
Spare yourself any frustration when it comes to tree services and just hire Ryan Whittle!“
