.Yaniv turned our hedge-pocalypse into a manicured masterpiece, including a particularly rebellious laurel. He arrived on time and completed work as estimated and on budget. Super professional, and left our yard looking sharp! Thank Yaniv and team, I'm sure you'll be hearing from us again soon! Highly recommend.
Yaniv was wonderful to work with, and he really listened to what I was wanting to have done which included cutting back branches from both sides of the house, taking out dead trees/trunks, trimming branches away from power lines. He also beautifully pruned and brought down the height of a maple tree, while taking into consideration keeping a good level of privacy coverage between us and the neighbour. He was reasonably priced for coming out to West Vancouver, and we will be having him do more work for us in future!
Yaniv and his crew were great. Called with a request that needed to be taken care of quickly. Responded to me right away and because they had a short window free between jobs they had it done the next day. Would recommend and use in the future.
