Vegetation Removal / Defensible space

I have about 3/4 acre of fairly steep downward sloping land located just beyond the minimum required defensible space behind our home. It was full of brush, half dead trees, thorny berry vines, poison oak, and branches from the neighbors trees touching the ground all along one fence. Vegetation Management Services gave me a quote considerably higher than the price indicated on their website, I'm guessing because of the steep terrain and the need for a ground crew to support the Forestry Mulching operation. They were able to schedule the work within about a week of my first contacting them. They mulched everything we asked them to on the entire lot in about 5 hours! I am delighted with their service! Any other tree service would easily have charged several times what I paid and could not possibly have ground all the material to mulch in that period of time. These guys showed up early, started doing thorough checks of all of their equipment, and then got right to business. No loung...

We had a steep hillside with lots of undergrowth and a few dead trees. We were very concerned about fire protection. They got rid of the dead trees, and all the heavy fuel load was eradicated. The extra with this crew is they don't leave wood chips (which I am concerned about embers catching them on fire), but turn it under and leave a bit of soil on top. All this in a very quick time. Chris and his crew were exceptionally professional, great at communication and hard working. I would highly recommend them.

Chris did a great job creating defensible space around our property in Glen Ellen. His machine is truly amazing and does more in a day than a team of 6 guys with chainsaws and chippers. He gave us a fair bid and did everything we discussed and took care of a few additional areas that were uncovered in the process. We will absolutely be using him again.
