Derek's Tree Service Inc

There were a bunch of trees on the perimeter of our property that needed to be removed, all less than 3" thick, plus two more trees that were about 6" thick. Derek said that he'd cut the trees, dispose of them and grind the stumps so that the remnants of the tree won't be visible above the ground. His team came to remove the trees, and most of the trees were removed except for some trees that were too close to the fence. He had warned me about that beforehand, saying that his chainsaw would ruin the fence and be dangerous to operate.

After I had paid him for his work and his team left, I noticed at the back of the property behind the shed, his team had left a few stumps ungrinded. So I called him to discuss why that was the case, and he said it was muddy and there were some stacked patio slabs in the way. He told me he would come in to remove those stumps when the weather was better and I had removed the slabs. So I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I removed those patio slabs and notified him that they were removed and the area was not muddy anymore in a voice message. I waited 3 days and no answer from him.

The end result is I had to buy a pick axe and rip out those stumps myself. That took about 1 hour of hacking; one of those stumps was 6" across!

This job involved cutting down 2 trees and grinding the root stumps. The price quotation provided by Derek was competitive with another quotation received earlier and, based on customer testimonials, I asked Derek to perform this work for us.

Derek and his team arrived on time as promised and quickly set up their equipment. The job was completed within short order and Derek's team was also very co-operative in cutting/stacking the firewood for a neighbour as requested. The crew was also very thorough in cleaning up the debris afterwards.

As I have some tree pruning to be performed this fall, I will definitely be calling on Derek to perform this work for us.

After contacting Derek's Tree Service via HomeStars, I received a quote the same day.
The next day the work was completed, at a fair price.
I'll be sure to reccomend Derek's Tree Service to my neighbours.

Derek and crew arrived on time. Job was completed efficiently, safely and clean up was fantastic. It was almost as if it never even happened. "Couldn't have asked for a better job!"
Thanks again all.

Totally satisfied with the service. Derek and crew were on time, did a very good job. It did not take too much time to cut the tree and clean up of debris. Price was excellent.

Derek’s crew were able to work around phone wires Bell strung through my Ash trees 30 feet up. Large branches were removed with surgical precision and cleanup was excellent. Yard will be much brighter this summer!

We contacted Derek's Tree Service earlier in the week for an estimate appointment. Derek came out to the appointment on time. We walked through what we wanted to have done to the yard and he provided some suggestions. We received an estimate from him on the spot. He came back the next morning with his crew to complete the work. The work and clean-up were done with no issues, great job. It was a great experience working with Derek to get the work completed. Thank you. I would definitely recommend Derek to friends and family or call him back if I needed more work on the trees in the future.

We had one tree removed and two large trees limbed, as they were damaging our roof and chimney. Derek also raised the canopy and sculpted a large maple tree by our pool. The work was very professionally done. Derek and crew were very polite and knowledgeable. They worked quickly and efficiently, and all debris was removed and the area cleaned. We are very pleased with the results. Our yard looks so much better. Thanks so much, Derek!

A polite, courteous six man crew showed up to trim and limb a large ash tree which was beating my chimney down and hanging well over my neighboiur's yard. The tree was limbed and all refuse picked up in short order.
Thanks, Derek

After shopping for a reliable company to remove a very tall spruce that suddenly died, I've selected Derek's from the excellent comments I've read. And his quote including the stump grinding was the cheapest I received. Some of his competitors were asking 2.5 times more i.e. $500 without the stump grinding! A rip-off!
Derek's and his crew showed up as per the agreed day and time. They cut the tree, chopped it in logs for my firepit, cleaned the cut branches and various debris and in ½ hour, they were gone.
I couldn't have expected for a better service.
One of my close neighbour to whom I was related my experience and quality of service I received already mentionned that he will surely hired Derek for relocating a few trees in his backyard.
Quality of work surely pays off more than big ads!
Thanks Derek.
