A big thanks to Pete, Will, AL, and Aaron (Bay Crane) for their amazing work! You guys went way above and beyond what was expected (literally and figuratively) and cleared so much of the dead and dangerous trees, we'll have firewood for years! You're good guys and we really appreciate your hard work and amazing skills! Largess Forestry company picnic at our place! Lol

After reading positive reviews online, I called Largess Forestry to help us with some much-needed tree trimming around the house. They did a great job. Not only did they take care of the limbs that I was worried about over and close to the house, but they also helped us with some cosmetic and tree-health trimming. Thanks to Pete and Team for a job well done!
