Anyone have any experience with the HOW Foundation doing tree removal and stump grinding? I have a good price for them just not sure about the quality. Not even sure how I should judge quality of tree removal and stumpgrinding (if the tree is gone when they are done, I presume). Advice?
Thanks!
You might get another bid from Kimble Davis Tree Service......853-5383
Haven't used them for a specific tree removal, but have used them for tree limb removal, leaf and general lawn service. My parents have also used them three times for moving services when the moved houses. I also used them to paint my car (I wonder if they even do this anymore, I noticed when i picked my car up, no one was using a mask while painting . . . I hate to make assumptions, but . . . it was pretty easy to get high in there. ;))
All that said, I've never been disappointed with their work and have always been happy with their prices.
I used them to remove two trees after the Great Ice Storm. They showed up when scheduled, removed the trees without damaging anything (though the big pine tree falling shook the house), ground up the stump well enough, and cleaned up before they left. I was satisfied.
Thanks to everyone for their comments. The tree is coming down next week!

Welcome aboard and keep posting.
Anybody have a few other suggestions as to who to get quotes from for some tree trimming?
I really like We B Trees.
Tim Nall is the owner.

I've heard good things about We B Trees as well. http://www.webtrees.com/
I ended up with Kimble Davis because they were competitive with HOW on price (and less than the 3 other companies I approached) and he is a certified arborist. He showed up when he said he would and the tree was gone at the end of the day.

Yeah, what ever happened to the Nosaks anyway? Haven't heard much from them as it relates to their 'reality show'.... aside from one of them running for the LtG.

His nephew got drunk and killed another motorist a few months back. Only took less than 24 hours for Nosak to disown him on the "Nosak Raw" web site. I suppose they are still killing trees. I sporadically hear ads for a home restoration service they have.
Do you have contact info for kimble? My first two quotes have almost killed me. Might only het a small project in now based on those quotes

I wouldn't use the HOW foundation for anything but picking up dog poop. Several yrs ago I used them to help me move and it was total chaos. One of their recruits worked for a handyman service which I used and he and his drunken partner totally ruined my house I paid the company they worked for good money to do several repairs and the work was so shabby and so sub par. They even left in the middle of the day with MY big ladder because one of their stupid drivers got a truck caught under a car wash.

They did our trees a couple of weeks ago. I'm very pleased.
I read this old thread to get recommendations for removing a tree at my house. I wanted to post my results in case anyone else searches the forum and finds this thread. I got estimates from three companies that were recommended by TulsaNow folks: We B Trees, S & W Tree Specialists, and Kimble Davis Tree Company. All three had certified arborists look at the job.
Kimble Davis was the most expensive by over $500 and his price did not include hauling off the stump grindings. We B Trees and S & W quoted the same price, but S & W offered a discount for having the work done in the winter. I went with the lowest price, S & W, and they did a fine job removing the tree, grinding the stump several inches below grade and hauling off the grindings to ground level.
i guess that's why it pays to get multiple quotes, a friend of ours used Kimble Davis about a month ago and he was still much much less than the other two quotes.
