What we were working with
This Phoenix-area homeowner reached out about a 52-year-old Aleppo pine that was past the point of saving. Once a tree is declining, the safest, kindest thing for the property is a clean, planned removal before it starts dropping limbs on its own.
Twilight came out to look it over, gave an honest assessment and a clear written quote, and got the job on the schedule quickly.
How we handled it
- Took the tree down in controlled sections to protect the surrounding yard, fencing, structures, and landscaping.
- Planned every cut and rigging point carefully so nothing came down where it shouldn’t.
- Kept clear, friendly communication from the first quote through to the final cleanup.
- Cleaned up the work area completely, leaving an open, usable space behind.
Fair price, fast turnaround, and a yard that was ready to enjoy again – a removal handled the right way.
I found Tony while searching on the list of certified arborists in the Phoenix area. I had a 52 year old Aleppo pine that was suffering, and I didn't know whether we could save it or not. I needed an expert opinion. Tony was responsive from the first call and immediately found time to come out and take a look at the tree. We'd recently landscaped the back yard, and he explained what had (sadly) killed the tree...it was the destruction of the shallow root system when they scaled the yard. He'd taken the time to look at satellite photos of the tree over time, so he already understood when the problem started and how quickly it had progressed, before he even came to the house. He told me that the tree would not survive, and he was almost as sad as I was. He said there were no signs of disease or other trouble...just death by drought. I decided to use him for the tree removal, because I was impressed with his knowledge and no-nonsense attitude. We set a date for the next month. The team arrived on time and ready for action. It was a HUGE job, and there was a lot at risk, between branches potentially falling on the tile roof our the house (the tree was leaning over the roof, 15 or 20 feet above it) or onto the newly landscaped yard, full of little plants. Miraculously, they found a "path" in the yard where the tree could fall without hurting anything, and as I watched and held my breath, they made it happen. It was terrifying for me, but they knew exactly what they were doing, and they managed it perfectly. Not a single plant was harmed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company for any job. I'll be calling them again, for sure.
