We had a 24 inch at the base Red Oak tree that the City of Summerville felt would be good only 5…read morefeet from the foundation of our house die. Yeah, that was a great decision. After 4 quotes, we found the price to be reasonable, so we made contact. The Team worked around our vacation schedule to make this happen quickly, and the work was done with precision! 10 feet of the dead tree was over our neighbors roof. 15 feet of the live part of the tree was over our roof. Yeah, I was very nervous about roof damage. They set up a pulley system and cut and lowered each piece like it was a priceless piece of art. There was no dropping 20 foot sections from 50+ feet in the air. Besides the 2 houses, also under the tree was azaleas, both still living and unharmed, blackberry bushes - also unharmed, and out sewer pipe feed-in. Also undamaged. They cleaned the yard before they left, and when they were cutting the tree, they asked if I wanted firewood. I asked for half the tree, and they cut half the tree to 18 inch size pieces I could split. The remaining half they took away. I would very highly recommend them. In addition to being a local group, they were highly professional, they were 15 minutes early, they respected my property and needs, and they cut firewood for my firepit.

Cut and pasted my G review because they were awesome…read more A Notch Above did a FANTASTIC job! We needed a tree removed and the other trees trimmed. We had three estimates, with Blaine (I think he's an owner) coming out to do the estimate. He's kind of rough around the edges but brutally honest and down to earth, and did not try to upsell me anything like the others did, and I liked that. Besides, his estimate was about half what the others would have charged for the same work. The crew arrived on time, were friendly and professional and did an OUTSTANDING job. I watched Butch grind the stump at least a foot down from the grass line. My trees have never looked better, and we have had them trimmed several times by others who charged more. I intended to run the tiding mower with bagger after they removed the massive sticky-ball tree from the yard, but they did such a thorough cleanup afterward that I didn't need to. They even cleaned up debris that wasn't from the tree work. The yards, back and front, looked much better than when they arrived. Lastly, Ricky was the tree climber and was a wild man. He did a fantastic job navigating and trimming my trees even to the upper branches, at least 75 feet up. He does how-to videos on YT as GeneJerz or #Genejerz, check out my house and the job the crew did. Top Notch is now my go-to tree service. I don't need to look anywhere else.
