  Joseph and Gabe were prompt, courteous and responsive. They did a fine job, even with the tricky tree caught between the power lines and a cabin. We are on Gabriola and they kept us posted on the ferry situation and their arrival times.

  I am truly impressed with his work, his skills are remarkable and very responsive to feedback. What was remarkable was his integrity - when a job could not be done did not put himself or me at risk and freely gave refund. You can rely trust this guy he is a good soul.

  What more can I say? I would recommend Joe at Neighbourhood Tree Service to friends, family & customers who need trees trimmed back or taken down. Before I had any work done, I got three estimates. Joe was VERY proactive & followed up with me right away, then again a few weeks later. No one else did that. When I did engage his services, he showed up on time, did the agreed work at the agreed cost! He was professional in every interaction we had. I would not hesitate to use Neighbourhood again or recommend them to anyone looking for quality work at a very competitive rate. Thank you Joe!
