Sunset Tree Service did an outstanding job removing our large oak tree that had fallen into the lake and another that was leaning that way. Dave was very responsive and his crew cleaned up the area so well you couldn’t even tell they had been there! Will definitely be using Sunset again!

Sunset Dave and his crew are incredible! They handle the toughest of jobs with professionalism and expertise. They arrived on time, carefully analyzed the trees and work area, figured out a work plan then got to work and got the job done. Very friendly crew to talk with and watch them work, they make it look easy, but I can state from firsthand experience that it is not. Tree work is extremely dangerous brutal tough physical work that requires a high degree of knowledge, safety practices and expertise. I do some tree and trail building work around my land with excavator, track loader, saws etc

Sunset just completed removing three trees and trimming quite a few others.I was so impressed with their professionalism that I wanted to write a review, something I rarely do.
They were a whole new breed of tree enthusiasts . They were respectful of us and of our trees. They were also knowledgable and "spoke tree."I felt they worked well as a team and completed the job quickly - paying attention to detail and clean-up. They worked hard to prune exactly as I wanted while being mindful of what was best for our trees. I highly recommend them.

Sunset Tree Service came to our yard yesterday. We are very happy with their professional work, tree trimming, tree removal and they even cut the big logs into 16 inch pieces for firewood. The price was good and we even got a better rate when we bundled their service with two other neighbors. Aaron did the 3rd story work, removing the neighbor's tall maple. That guy is awesome, he cut each branch and dropped them safely without damaging the house underneath. One other thing, they cleaned up the entire area, almost didn't know they were there. Great Job!

When high winds brought a big pine tree down on the deck of our cottage, Sunset Tree Service was there to help! They were able to get to us quickly despite being very busy, and cleaned up the tree for us fast and efficiently. Dave (the owner) and his entire crew are extremely polite, hardworking, and knowledgeable. They are a pleasure to deal with and highly recommended!

Dave and his entire crew were a pleasure to work with. Dave gave us an extremely reasonable price and worked from the early morning until nearly 10:00 p.m. to get our job completed in a single day. They went above and beyond to clean up every bit of debris and left our property looking great. I would definitely recommend Sunset Tree Service to anyone looking for great work at an extremely reasonable price.

If you are looking for a high quality professional tree service we recommend Sunset Tree Service. Safety is priority with this company. Dave Scott and his crew did an amazing job removing a 100 ft + tall white pine tree that had become a safety hazard to our family and home. The tree was located in an awkward position between our home and garage. Mr. Scott and his crew removed the tree with precision that is second to none. The crew worked in a professional and positive manner while maintaining a sense of humor that put us at ease in a very stressful situation. We were also very impressed with

Awesome company and crew! We hired Dave and his team to remove some trees, and we were so happy we did. They're by far the best tree company we've ever hired. They were extremely professional, on time, and reasonably priced! They removed some cedars around our gardens and they took great care not to impact any of the surrounding plants. Their clean up with exceptional. They raked the yard, blew off the deck, and removed all cuttings. We will be using them again and would highly recommend!

I contracted Sunset Tree Removal (Service) to cut down two trees off my property on two different occasions. The Owner, Dave Scott, was very informative about the process. I am very pleased with the work. His crew was professional, courteous and thorough, and they were in and out of there before I knew it. The attention to detail and meticulous clean up was much appreciated. I used a different tree service in the past and I had to spend days cleaning up the after math. I have recommended Sunset Tree Service to my friends, all have been very pleased.
