I am happy to provide a recommendation for Licensed to Cut tree service. Who recently completed a large tree trimming project at my home. They spent approximately 10 hours removing 1/3 of a very large tree. I was extremely impressed with their work ethic, they demonstrated a high level of skill and professionalism. They paid attention to details and safety. If you are looking for good quality work at a great price I highly recommend Licensed to Cut.

We had Cody and his crew cut down several trees and trim several others in Litchfield, Pa. They did a fantastic job! We asked to keep some of the wood (old Ash trees) to burn and they cut them into logs and stacked them neatly all along the edge of our rural property. All the debris was cleaned up and they left our property neat as could be expected. Cody and his crew mates were very accomodating and we plan to hire them again.

Cody and his crew were very professional and stayed in contact with us, they arrived on time and worked in the rain to get the tree down. They cleaned up the yard and took care of the brush and wood from the tree. Definitely would use them again in the future.

Thank you Licensed to Cut!! A huge eye sore of a dying tree was removed from my front yard quickly and neatly! Now I am able to plant something that will compliment my landscaping instead of blocking my home. I can’t recommend Licensed to Cut enough! If you’re thinking about tree removal, don’t hesitate to call this company!!

I recently hired Licensed to Cut for a large tree removal and trimming project at a local apartment complex, and we are very happy with the results. From start to finish, they were professional and efficient. They completed the job ahead of schedule and left the entire area clean and neat. I highly recommend Licensed to Cut for any tree services, big or small. They are very reliable, experienced, and clearly take pride in their work.

The communication was fantastic. Cody kept me up to date regularly. They went above and beyond to get to the trees that were in my back yard and not easily accessible. They even came and worked on a Saturday to finish up the job. Highly recommend these guys!

License to Cut (Cody & crew) are a great group of guys! Kind, respectful, and professional, start to finish. They show up when they say they will and do what they say they’ll do! Neighbors remarked how well they cleaned up the property when they were done. Anyone looking for someone to do tree/stump removal, look no further. I highly recommend License to Cut!!!

On behalf of Vander-Built, LLC, I want to express our satisfaction with the services provided by Licensed To Cut for a recent tree removal project. They responded promptly to our request and arrived at the job site quickly to assess the trees that needed to be cleared for our garage project. During the visual inspection, the team was thorough in understanding our requirements and provided a fair quote along with an estimated start time of just a day or two later, which we found exceptional. When they arrived, they efficiently cut down all the trees as requested. We were particularly impressed with their approach to payment. There was no pressure; they simply requested payment at our convenience, which we appreciated. As it turned out, we needed to remove additional trees beyond our initial estimate. Licensed To Cut handled this change order seamlessly, returning the very next day or two to complete the work without any hassle. Their pricing was competitive, the team was highly professional, and they left the site clean after finishing the job. We wholeheartedly recommend Licensed To Cut and will definitely engage their services for any future projects. They have earned our trust and appreciation.

Recently, I had a large silver maple in my backyard. The tree was between 80-90 feet tall. The tree was located 10 feet from my home, with adjoinging fencing. I received multiple estimates, several were noted that the job was considered high risk. One of the calls I took was from Cody with Licensed To Cut Tree Service. He showed up promptly, surveyed my property and, while he did note the exposures, he reassured me that it was not anything that he, and his crew, could not handle. I had set an estimate that I wanted to stay with in budget and he came in below that, which I was very pleased with. HIs professional approach and manner also were very welcome. They arrived within two days and went straight to work. They are experienced climbers, as was exhibited throughout the job, and exercised great care in removing all of the branches cleanly. Afterwards, they scoped out the exact distance and dropped the main body exactly to where they knew it would land. I expected damage to my lawn, but was surprised at how little there was, with only two small spots that I added a minimal amount of top soil and re-seeded. This was not a small job as the base measured 3 feet 4 inches. The cleanup work was impressive with no more left than an expected small amount of saw dust. I was very impressed. I have had several people I know see the work and have been glad to hand out Cody's business cards to them. I highly recommend Licensed To Cut Tree Service to anyone.

It was a pleasure using the services of "License to Cut". Cody responded to my online request for a quote the same day. It was a holiday for the record. The broken limb was removed, and cleared just 2 days later. Fast, professional, and very friendly crew.

They answered the phone and came within a week to cut down some trees hanging over our swimming pool. Now, instead of spending an hour a day skimming away leaves, our pool is practically leaf free. Excellent customer service.
