Do not hire Ed App. He did not complete the work outlined in our written agreement. I made a huge mistake - I paid him in full in cash because he told me the work would be completed that day. He had several crews working in my neighborhood so I thought it would happen. He cut down the trees and left them lying in my yard. It took him almost a week to get back to cut up the trees thus killing my lawn. Although his men did take away the wood, they left branches and leaves in several piles all over my yard. After a week I began calling him every day to remind him about removing this brush. Each time he would minimize the amount of work to be done but said he would be there that day or the next to take care of it; he never came. His crews were working at other houses in my neighborhood but never returned to mine. I finally hired someone else to pick up the brush even though that was part of our agreement that he would remove this mess. His charge was almost $7000 and caused me a great deal of stress and anger for three week in the spring. He is, by far, the worst person I have ever hired to work at my home!

In 1968 my father planted 3 Silver Maples and 2 Colorado Blue Spruce trees in the yard. Other than cutting off a branch every once in a while, and cleaning up after a bad storm, these trees were left pretty much to grow wild and they looked it. At a very fair price, App Tree trimmed off all the dead limbs from the Colorado Blue Spruce trees giving them a healthy clean look. They cleared the Silver Maples of the dead limbs,overgrowth, and the undergrowth that was’t getting any sun --- as well as made the storm ravaged tree look symmetrical and healthy again. They worked efficiently, listened to my concerns, and communicated to me the needs of a healthy tree. In the end they transformed the overgrown old forest looking yard into what could be a Norman Rockwell picture of Maple Street, USA. Great job!
