I just had 10+ trees removed from our property last month by Santa Maria and we couldn't be happier with their work. They took care of everything in regards to permits and approval, so I'm not sure what they wrote on the paperwork that got the work approved. The trees were not dying or leaning, but they were very tall. There were 3 pines and a mix of others, it was impossible to grow grass, and the roots were EVERYWHERE. We have a 1 year old and with the trees on the property, there was no safe place for him to play. I hope that helps!
