- Tree RemovalIm writing this review based on my experience I had with Ginkgo on March 16, 2017 and in hopes this may assist you with your decision to whether or not to hire this company for your needs. I wanted to remove a dead 70 ft. Ash Tree next to a power line in my backyard. I began to search the internet for tree removal companies in my area. If you are like me, it is difficult to decide especially with so many choices you will find on Google. Reading reviews from prior customers is very important. I found 5 who were willing to come out and give me an estimate within that week. One estimator said he did not want take the job due to the complications of the tree being dead/brittle and located so close to the power line. So, I narrowed it down to 2 choices which were Ginkgo or Morenos Tree Service. I made an appointment for March 08 with Ginkgo to give me an estimate. The owner, Rigo arrived on schedule, explained to me the process, provided me a written estimate and a photocopy of his companys insurance papers (without me asking for them). I also made another appointment for March 09, at 3pm for an estimate with Moreno's. I left work early that day to arrive home on time. I waited until 430 pm before I called for an update or the reason for the no show. There was no answer so I left a voice message. The following day I received a call from Morenos and the lady apologized for overbooking. She said she would be out today at 4pm to give me an estimate. I gave them another chance and said yes. The estimate for the same service was half the price of Ginkgos and the lady (estimator) assured me their company have insurance which she did show me, but I had noticed the expiration date was within a week from the day of the estimate. I figured the insurance is still valid, so I'll give it some consideration. I called Morenos to provide me either a photocopy or a picture via text of their insurance. She said "ok, Ill send it to you" and like the previous appointment, no answer after multiple attempts. I decided to hire Ginkgo for the fact of their professionalism and their competitive pricing. Sometimes if its too good to be true, it probably is. Ginkgos prices are very competitive and reasonable compared to the other estimates I had received. 15 minutes into their arrival, I knew I had made the right choice. Rigo arrived with his crew on time and what appeared to be something out of a movie; his crew began marching straight to my backyard (as if my tree done something to offend them) carrying ropes, shovels, rakes, wheel barrels, carts, and chainsaws followed by their leader with a cup of coffee in hand. He then put his coffee down, grabbed the rope and started to rope the tree for his climber. I almost felt bad for that tree. After looking at it for the past few years it was gone in a few hours. This crew worked like termites on steroids. They were cutting, hauling, and chipping this tree down to nothing. I was so impressed with their work ethics, I had asked them

- Land Clearing
- Tree MulchingYour testimonials helped us decide to contact you for the complete overhaul of one very neglected yard. It had some lawn left, but much of it was covered with overgrown and dead trees, vines, stones and other clutter. Your crew took the time to help us determine what should stay and what should go. They trimmed some trees while completely removing others, cleared all the weeds and vines, tilled and seeded the yard, and even used the flat stones to create a neat garden path. Edging and mulching of existing garden areas made the finished job look polished. It was exactly what we wanted done with zero hassle. Thanks for a prompt, professional job!
- Snow Removal
- Landscaping ServicesI called Ginkgo to help trim a flowering plum tree that had really gotten out of hand over the past 20 years. The team came as scheduled, trimmed the tree, shaped it, cleaned up all the debris, and completed this job professionally. They are very affordable and do an excellent job. I will remember them the next time I need landscaping service. Thanks for a job well done.
