Used services twice before

I've used the services of Releaf Group twice before and am considering them again for more service soon. Andrew and his team are very thorough and professional with their work and their prices are quite competitive. (I live in a house with plenty of trees and backing on to a ravine so I do need regular tree care services, and have only not used them once, when they were super-busy.)
The first time I hired Releaf, Andrew removed to large ash trees in my backyard that had become infested with the ash borer, and he put a brace on a HUGE maple tree to secure its two main sections that branches out about 15 feet above the ground.) The second time, he came to our house after a wind storm had cause a very large branch from a willow tree in our front yard to fall precariously on top of our electricity wire, and was risking snapping the connection to the house. He quickly removed it, cut it into smaller pieces and again removed it.

Tree removal and trimming

This review is long overdue. Andrew and his team of workers arrived to remove five declining/dead trees, including a birch that was in danger of falling on our house.
After arranging for the work to be done, Andrew arrived two weeks beforehand to trim the birch because he was concerned it would succumb to high winds before our appointment. We were impressed that he cared enough about our property to provide this level of service.
On the day, the crew worked steadily until the work was completed, late into the evening. The stumps were ground and the wood hauled away. He left firewood for our neighbours to pick up, even cutting the logs to size for easy transport.
His team also trimmed some mature trees that were overhanging the roof.
Andrew impressed us with his dedication to trees, mindfulness about safety, and thoughtfulness for the homeowner. We highly recommend the Re:Leaf Group.

Tree removal

Andrew promptly responded to my email request for service. He came to my house the next day and looked at the dead tree I needed to cut down. He was friendly and easy to talk to. We agreed on a date for the work to be done. The team came when they said they would and began to work right away. They were friendly, careful and very efficient. They completed the work in no time and thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. Thank you.

I would not hesitate to call these guys again and highly recommend them.

Tree removal

Very friendly! They cut down a massive tree, in the front yard, so expertly. This is the only company that I would use in the future. They showed up on the date agreed and they were so careful that my neighbours wanted to know who they were. I recommend them without reservation.

Tree Trimming

I had a bunch of dead branches that never recovered from the ice storm on 5 large trees that hadn't been trimmed in 10 years, as well as a bunch of young maples trying to grow in my backyard. Andrew was very quick to respond to my quote and I found the price so reasonable I increased the scope of the work. He and his team arrived exactly as planned and did an excellent job. I told him that the cleanup was so good there was less mess on the lawn then before he started. What impressed me most was that as the trimming was done while I was at work Andrew came back in the evening to make sure everything was ok and quickly took care of a small additional trimming I requested. I see no reason not use Andrew for any of our future needs.

Tree Removal

I had recently contracted Andrew and his team to undertake the removal of a large pine tree in our backyard. I am writing this review primarily to applaud this companies professionalism and workmanship. They are a credit to their profession. When contacted they responded very quickly and we were able to arrange an onsite quote meeting without too much bartering. I would highly recommend this company because of these factors. I am certain you will not be disappointed. I will suggest as well that I had tried contacting several other companies without as much as a return call. I was told that it would be up to several weeks for a return call or visit. Not that Re: Leaf was the bottom of my list and or not busy, I just did not hear back from the others. Andrew actually attended my home at 9:00 in the evening after a long hot day working to provide his quote. This guy and his team know how to run a ' Business ' and provide service. The other tree companies are also on the first page of contractors.I will not name them, but they would never get a call from me to waste my time and breath. They have no idea of what customer service is or how to run a business. Don't waste your time either, call Re:Leaf first.

Tree removal

Andrew contacted me within hours of posting my query about removing a cherry tree from my backyard. The other 4 arborists I contacted took several days and some never responded. He was quick and efficient and took care to remove any debris from the tree. He was also available through email for any additional questions and responded promptly. I was very happy with the service he provided.

Removal of Crab Apple tree

My neighbor and I need to remove the Crab Apple trees in front of our houses. After checking with several companies, we decided to go with Andrew's team. He gave us good impressions from the time we got the free quote to when the job was done. He responded quick to emails and finished the job in a really short time. I was worried that my shrub and perennials under the tree would have been damaged by the job but Andrew finished the task without any sign of damage. Highly recommended.

Tree Removal and Replant

We just had Andrew and his team removed a dead ash tree from our backyard and replaced it with a locust on the same spot. Andrew was very pleasant to deal with. He responded to my all inquiries and questions in a timely manner. We must have exchanged 10+ emails prior to the job and each and every questions were patiently answered. Everything was done professionally and the price was fair. They cleaned up all the debris afterward. We are 100% satisfied with the work. Highly recommended!

___________________________________________
Andrew Evans H.L.T. is the owner and founder of ReLeaf Group and an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborist.

Andrew unearthed his passion for trees during his high school summer vacation job at a local nursery, where he was introduced to all the different trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials. His first experience with nature was a lasting one. After two summers at the nursery he was hired as an Ontario junior ranger with the Ministry of Natural Resources and was stationed in northern Ontario, tasked with maintaining canoe portage trails and tree planting.

After graduating from high school, he knew he wanted to pursue a career in the green industry. He spent the next three years studying at Humber College graduating with honors in arboriculture (the care of trees) and received an honours diploma in landscape horticulture. He was awarded the Board of Governors' Award, which honours the most accomplished student.

From Humber College, Andrew was immediately hired by the City of Toronto and over the next thirteen years he was involved in pruning, removal, planting, fertilizing and inspection of trees in city parks and streets. As part of an select group, he spent six of those years working under contract to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency where he was trained to inspect trees for infestation of the Asian Long Horned Beetle and the Emerald Ash Borer.

The ReLeaf Group was founded as a part-time business to provide tree care service to private home owners but his exceptional reputation soon grew his business into a full time venture.

Extensive credentials combined with expansive experience!
