Nelson's Hardscape & Tree Service Inc

Call Nelson's and the story customers tell is almost always about speed. A homeowner writing in July 2026 had a diseased tree quoted and taken down the same day, worksite left neat. In May 2026 another had an old stump, a weed-infested lawn and a broken walkway assessed, quoted, and started the next morning — the crew worked all day and finished it. One reviewer, after a storm, spotted the team working a neighbour's house, phoned, got an answer on the first ring, had someone looking at the downed tree 30 minutes later, and it was gone within twenty. Tree work is the core of it: three large trees felled to drop precisely, a pair of willows taken out, mature maples pruned clear of electric wires, a cherry tree trimmed back off house siding, a big ash dropped without a branch touching the roof — some of them 60 feet and up. The same crew turns up for the rest of the yard too. A gravel pad laid for a shed. Four overgrown shrubs and an untrimmed tree cut back with fresh mulch down, inside three hours. A fence put up. Rainwater diverted off a patio before it could freeze in winter. And after the blizzard, a driveway berm six feet deep and three and a half feet high cleared away. The record is deep and current: 4.9 from 159 Google ratings, 4.8 from 56 on Thumbtack, and 27 of those reviews landed in the last six months. Quotes tend to hold — an August 2025 client had two large oaks removed and arborvitaes trimmed across an eleven-hour day and said the crew remained true to the quote; an April 2026 customer said the written estimate arrived promptly and beat the others they had collected. The one complaint on file is about scheduling rather than the work. In April 2023 a customer said their estimate was delayed three times and warned against a firm that could not keep commitments. Worth pinning the estimate appointment down when you book. For tree removal, storm clean-up and the yard work around it, this is a crew people keep calling back.
