Wayne had a backyard tree sitting right next to a block wall, and he could see where it was headed. If that tree went the wrong way, the wall might go with it.
He actually grabbed Tip Top’s number in traffic, called, and Tom came out the same day to look at it and quote the job. Wayne was worried that even the act of removing the tree could cause the wall to fail. So this wasn’t a “cut and drop” situation. It needed control.
On the scheduled day, the crew showed up on time, got to work, and had the tree down in about 3.5 hours, cleanup included. Wayne also asked about another sick tree while they were there. Tom gave advice, and the crew removed two bad branches. Then they went further and trimmed additional pieces that needed to come off. When they left, the yard was cleaned up and looking good. Wayne said the team was professional, capable, friendly, and he was happy to recommend them.

“I saw a Tip Top Arborists truck at a stop light and wrote down the number because I needed a tree removed before it damaged the block wall beside it. Tom came out the same day to give a quote, and the crew showed up on time. They removed the tree in about 3.5 hours and cleaned everything up. Tom also gave helpful advice about another sick tree in my yard. The team was professional, capable, and very friendly. I’m happy to recommend Tip Top Arborists.”
