Large Tree Planting

We have used Underhill's several times in the past and trust their work. We didn't ask for competing bids.

Our neighbour to the back had removed some large limbs creating a gap in the woodsy feeling of our Underhill's landscaped back yard. We called Dave Underhill for his expert opinion. He recommended two, eight foot tall evergreens (Hemlocks) planted six feet apart. The Hemlock is about the only evergreen that can grow in the deep shade of our yard. They are also among the most beautiful trees we have seen.

Dave's crew arrived exactly on time with two absolutely perfect Hemlocks and planted them with skill. It took somewhat longer than we expected - the root balls were huge and extremely heavy. John and Alex (the planters) explained that they were native grown (Ontario) and should adapt to our yard better than the cheaper BC grown trees.

We paid $1200 plus tax for the trees and installation. That seems reasonable compared to trees we saw at a Sheridan Center.

As an aside: The complaint I saw here about paving stones made no sense to me. Underhill's did two large paving stone projects for us six years ago and they are still in perfect condition. That person must be thinking of some other contractor.

Approximate cost of services:
$1,200.00

Company Response

While this review was written 2-1/2 years ago, those native, shade tolerant Hemlock trees are filling that space quite nicely. Also, we truly appreciate Mr McKean's rebuttal to a previous (and since removed by HomeStars) "rogue" review about our paving stone work. We've been installing quality paving stone projects since 1967, with many, many happy homeowners enjoying our work.
