Kyle and his crew recently removed a bunch of fairly large pine/spruce trees including stump grinding. Overall they did a great job at a fair price. Very good communication and the crew was organized and professional. May I also add "honest." Their truck damaged my high-end basketball hoop while backing into the driveway. Rather than ignoring or denying it, they stepped up, told me about it and bought a replacement. Based on my experience I would definitely recommend Kyle and his company!

Read on GoogleCalled owner Kyle for an estimate to trim some oak trees and clear out dead tree limbs on the ground. He was over the same day to look at the trees and provide a quote. The price was very reasonable and he was able to so the work a few days later. Kyle and his crew were very professional and did an excellent job, including cleaning up afterwards. I strongly recommend using Longtree Tree Service and will definitely use them in the future. Excellent and prompt phone/email correspondence.
