Gold Standard Tree Specialists

Found these folks on Facebook advertised as 'cheap tree cuts'. I have a rule of getting 3 quotes and choosing the middle quote, generally this has worked out well for me, not in this instance.

Now I accept blame when something is my fault and I did not play close enough attention to the specific wording used in our correspondence with David. I wanted my stump be be grounded down, but the wording was stump ground down to the dirt. Again, my fault for not catching that...live and learn. Now the problem is my stump is not flush with the dirt, it sticks out 6 inches. I passed on the attached photos to David and he agreed it should have been cut closer to the dirt and he promised to send someone back...this was 6 weeks ago. I am a patient man, but I have been brushed off and forgotten about. Serves me right for being trusting and paying the full balance before the job was completed.Now just as concerning to me was the mess that was left behind. I paid more than double for logs to be cut and for the area to be cleaned up. Logs were cut...some were 80lbs and very difficult to move. The area was NOT cleaned up.

Hired Cameron and his team to take down a 80 foot tall behemoth oak. I had no idea how they were going to pull it off as it went over my roof and the neighbours pool, but Cameron told me he had a secret weapon and he wasnt kidding. He showed up with his team and put his colleague Jason in the tree and to my surprise and amazement, they took down the entire tree and removed it all from my property in one single day. A lot of my neighbours wanted quotes and they really put on a great show for the neighbourhood. It was money well spent and better entertainment than the super bowl! I would definitely recommend these guys. All the best and thank you again Cameron for providing me with a fair quote and seeing that the task was complete!

This company provided a very good service for us. We had 2 Maples cut down and pile in our backyard near our pool and no issues. They cleaned up well.

Had a mess of dead cedars and spruce trees to remove and Cameron at Gold Standard Tree Services gave my wife and I a spectacular price and a definitive start date and we were very happy with the results. Would do business with them again.

We hired Cameron and his team to do a 12 pine tree removal on our property in Stouffville. We found the fees were fair and the customer service was especially exceptional, we plan to hire him again in the future.

Cameron completely butchered my fruit tree claiming it was a dull saw and not realizing how sensitive fruit trees were. Clearly not understanding basics of fruit trees after I repeatedly asked if he was familiar with pruning them and he said yes. Well. This was the end result (please see pic of a close-up) - this is what my entire tree looks like. 2nd photo is what needs to be fixed and a quote. Have since been ghosted.
