Report
We had them come out to our home a little over a week ago to cut down two pine trees. What an efficient and polite crew Miguil has, in addition to doing a fantastic job cutting the trees and cleaning up. We are so pleased we used Smith Lawn and Tree, will definitely use them again along with referring to others! Thank you "Miguil Team" at Smith Lawn and Tree! You certainly represent the company well!
