Ben and the guys did a great job taking down the silver maple in my yard. I have another job already scheduled with them and would recommend them to others.

Ben and his crew were amazing. I had 5 different estimates on the removal of 4 pine trees and trimming of my large Japanese maple. Not only did his estimate come in under the others, but he did more than the other companies were willing to do. Ben not only removed the stumps of the pines, but followed the roots into my yard and the neighboring yard and filled the area with top soil and seed. He and his crew were professional, punctual, clean, efficient, and have the best equipment to do the job. I have already recommended them to others and will be having him to work at my father's house. Thanks, Ben! You rock!

Getting ready to write a review was the first time I looked at previous reviews.It's easy to see why Ben and his crew get five stars across the board.Courteous, Professional, Detailed, Competitive Pricing, Timely; these are just a few of the adjectives I feel apply to Ben and each of the men on his crew.To a person they (seven of them) were polite, protective of our yard and property while taking down three 80'pine trees very close to our home and property line, all in one day! Even two of our neighbors offered unsolicited compliments on how professional they were and what a great job they did on clean up.I will look forward to recommending Cook Outdoor Contracting to family, friends and neighbors.

These guys did a fantastic job of taking down 6 trees at my house, including a very large maple tree next to the house. Extremely efficient and professional. They worked very hard all day, and by the end of the day they had all the wood and stumps removed and I was impressed by their cleanup as well. Maybe most impressive was Ben's ability to get everything correct, we had discussed several different options and after a month had gone by and he returned to do the work, he remembered everything we discussed and got it all right without even needing to ask any questions. I highly recommend them.

Ben and his team went above and beyond for our tree trimming! They spent over 6 hours meticulously pruning our massive maple/oak trees in the front yard of our new home that had been neglected for some time. They also did a great job with a few smaller trees and stump grinding in the back. Ben was so communicative over text for scheduling as well as in person, regularly checking in that I was happy with the progress. Their pricing is also extremely reasonable! We are so pleased with how everything turned out.

I was totally impressed with Ben Cook. I had a huge tree pretty close to my house to cut down. He came on time for the estimate & followed up with the quote. Ben & his crew came on time the day that was scheduled & worked carefully, all day. They had all the necessary equipment to get the job done; they cleaned up everything & were professional and polite. Ben was there making sure everything was done correctly. They were careful of the fence as well. I would highly recommend this company.

Ben Cook and his crew are the best! Professional, responsive, easy to work with, competitive, and their cleanup is impeccable! We have two150 year old Maple trees located extremely close to our home, that desperately needed trimming. They were responsive from the start, came out to quote the job quickly, answered all of our questions and we were on their schedule in no time. The crew are professional and they took great care in trimming these trees so they are safe while maintaining their beautiful canopy. Their cleanup is equally impressive! Seriously would not know they were ever here! All of our landscaping was well protected too. We have more trees that need trimming and will be working with Cook Outdoor Contractors every time. Be sure to give them a call, they do not disappoint. Thank you Ben and crew for great work and a job well done.
