“Zymba did an excellent job trimming and shaping our trees with his long-handled electric saw. He cleaned up so well afterwards that there was hardly a leaf on the ground. He also shaved our wooden gate which was sticking badly because the wood swells when wet. Now it opens perfectly. He came to give us a quote the very same day we called, and he did the work the next morning, all for a very reasonable price. Whatever the job, he can get it done, and I really appreciate that he insists you inspect everything when he finishes so he knows you feel is has been done to perfection. Highly recommend!”
