Lewis Tree Service was very professional about the job. They had to work in a tight space and move some very big machinery in and out without doing any damage. They did a great job and in a timely manner. Even after a hard days work they had a great attitude. I will use them again if we ever have any problems like this again.

We had a very overgrown 25+ foot palm tree & Skylake Tree Services did a wonderful job getting our palm back in shape! When I reached out for a quote, Ashley helped us and she was super nice, friendly & professional. John, who is a long time trained arborist, came over to take a look at our tree & gave us an estimate & reviewed the whole process with us. He too was super friendly & professional & very knowledgeable. The estimate was competitive. When he came back for the job, he & his crew worked efficiently, and diposed/cleaned everything up nicely. I would definitely use Skylake Tree Services again in the future & I would recommend to anyone needing tree care.
