I highly recommend Max and his team. We had a very large maple tree that had become unstable and required bracing and pruning. He explained all steps thoroughly so that we understood the plan and were assured of his professionalism. It was obvious how much he cared about the safety of ourselves and our property as well as the health of a beautiful tree. I will definitely use his services again.

We had a great experience with Independent Tree Care. Max was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He came out for an initial quote and was more than willing to return when we made changes to the work we wanted done. He took the time to answer our questions and make sure we were comfortable with the plan. Max and his colleague did an excellent job, completed the work exactly as promised, and left everything clean and tidy when they were finished. Throughout the process, Max was responsive, honest, and great to deal with. We would highly recommend Independent Tree Care to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality tree services.

Max and his team are highly professional individuals that did a fantastic job with our tree. They conducted all of their business in a timely manner, as agreed upon. They cleaned up all of the trimmings and loose branches as well. Effort and care of this kind are rare in this day and age. I highly recommend Independent Tree Care for their exceptional service.
