Wow! First time I have contracted for tree services and so glad I called Rick Sotil. Rick was very polite and professional and his crew was a great team to watch as they worked together very efficiently and safely to fell 5 trees. Their use of a crane, bucket truck, bucket loader, large chipper, saws and hand tools was quite expert in taking down trees that were growing over the roof of our house and one poplar about 115 feet tall that would cause significant damage if it were to fall during a storm. All of this work in one day with no damage, a yard left cleaner than before, and many logs stacked where I wanted them, bucked and ready to cut for firewood and lumber. It was especially impressive to watch the delimbing process aloft, with branches dropped safely below in a controlled manner where suitable on the smaller trees and lowered by crane from the tallest trees. Down the road a bit there will be other trees to take down and I will not hesitate to call Sotil Tree Service back again for that work. Thank you Rick and crew.
