“Amazing teamwork and quality results.  6 workers got the big job done with professionalism, humor, safety, and speed. They even cleaned up after themselves thoroughly. I will have them back for the next job and highly recommend Durkin Tree Service for all of your tree removal and trimming needs. The price was very reasonable, and quotes were clear and concise. Great job well done!”
