I expected a single-tree (13 inch diameter) removal quote to be around $750. The quote was $2,000.00. I said forget it. He said: $1,500.00. He said the average single tree removal quote for York County that I used was not good. I caved and gave them their required %50 down payment. They arrived two hours earlier than the agreed to time. Their work was okay. I asked what they would quote to trim three of my holly plants. The quote was $150. I said okay. I expected them the next day. I called that evening. They said Is Tuesday okay. I said okay. I called Tuesday evening and the person mumbled something, I said okay, he hung up. That was nine days ago. I have been slowly trying to trim the holly trees myself with a pole pruner, but I am 88 years old and am still trying.
