How I Work

Hi! I’m Brendan and I own Taylor Tree Service. You’ll meet me when you book an estimate and I’m almost always on the project. I pride myself on providing professional service to each and every person that entrusts us to handle their tree problems.

I’ll quickly visit your property to assess the situation and provide the best possible plan for the services you need. 

Tree work can be scary, and as a former professional firefighter I always put safety first. You can count on me to work with you throughout the process to ensure your absolute satisfaction for a job done well, safely, and promptly. 

I truly love the work I do and I think you’ll be able to see that when your project is done.

My Process

Step 1: Free Estimate

I start by coming out to provide a free estimate. During the estimate I’ll come up with a game plan for how to complete your project. That plan will include what equipment we need, how long it should take, and price. If I think there are any “hidden costs” that will pop up after the project I’ll always point those out before we start working. The same day we meet I’ll get a contract to you in writing.

Step 2: Show up on time and get to work!

Most days we only do one project, so you can expect us in the morning. I’ll check in with you multiple times throughout the project to ensure you are happy with the direction it’s going. If there is anything else you would like done feel free to let us know while we’re working!

Step 3: Recycle the Waste

Everything we haul away gets recycled. Chips and pulpwood are turned into mulch or burned for electricity. Stumps are broken down to harvest the loam stuck in them. The remnants of processed stumps are used to protect waterways from erosion and pollutants. Good timber is milled into lumber to build homes. Less desirable timber is s sent to EAD Woodwork, who creates custom furniture from trees that would otherwise be discarded. We try our best to do our part and waste nothing!
