Traverso Tree Service

The team from Traverso was excellent. They removed a large dead tree on my property. I feel they went above and beyond taking care during removal and cleaning up after. I also hired Traverso to remove large branches hanging over my house. They did an excellent job. I will definitely hire Traverso again when I need tree service.

We just used Traverso Tree for the first time, we had a fallen Acacia, and much overgrowth and some safety concerns with many of the trees on our property, we requested haul away services too, it was a two day job, but they were so quick and professional, they even swept and blew away the excess saw dust. They did a great job, and I would absolutely use them again and recommend their services. I wish I had more before and after photos but I'll post what I can. The trees that they thinned looked so natural, they were careful to not drop any trimmings onto the neighbors yards, even when they had to move our neighbors planter to get the crane in the driveway, they remembered to move everything back where it was. That level of consideration and care is so rarely found. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

I got bids from five different vendors for the removal of seven trees, all of which were more than 60 feet tall. Treverso was actually a bit more expensive than three of the others, but I chose them for two reasons. First, a very knowledgable certified arborist named Rhys gave me a written bid 10 minutes after he arrived. The other four vendors said they would send me a bid the next day, but it generally took them 3-10 days to get me a bid. Second, and more important, Traverso ground the stumps down 18" below the surface of the ground. The others ground stumps down about 4-6". My decision turned out to be a good one and I recommend Traverso without hesitation. They brought a crew of five guys, two huge cranes, a huge wood chipper that devoured limbs, and a very large, remote-control stump grinder. I'm sure they also do much smaller jobs, where guys climb trees with chainsaws, but my trees were huge and the equipment matched the job. They would wrap a chain around the tree limb about 2/3 of the way up, and then cut off the branch at the point where it intersected the trunk. The huge crane would then move the 40+ foot branch directly to the chipper, where two guys fed it into the chipper, with the chain still attached for more than half of the limb. They took down seven trees in less than 5 hours, and ground the stumps down 18 inches, as promised. Another thing in their favor: I had one stump that was surrounded by shrubs. I should have removed the shrubs before they got here (we are relandscaping the entire yard), but I didn't. The shrubs prevented the stump grinder from removing the center of the stump down as far as they promised. It looked OK at the time, but after the landscape crew cleared out all the shrubs two weeks later, we discovered that the grinder missed some of the stump. They came back and took care of it, at their expense. Traverso is a first class operation. I learned from the crew that the company has been around for more than 30 years while the owner, John Traverso, is retired from leadership. he still trains people, and most of his employees have worked for him for years. Traverso was not the least expensive, at least in my case, but they did a fabulous job and I would not hesitate to use them again.
