100%"Kevin was neat - he was prompt and helpful. I spoke with him candidly (very candidly!) about the pricing as I thought it was expensive and that he could be "having me on". He reassured me that he wasn't "having me on" and since the job has been done it is worth every cent. Thanks Kevin and the team.

100%"This was an excellent company to deal with from beginning to end. Can't believe how promptly Kevin got back to me with my request and how quickly the job was done. The Team were very professional and safe. My request was a little out of the ordinary but it was no problem for them and the Team leader (sorry bad with names) was so good at communicating and making sure I got what I wanted without pressurizing me.
Thank you HCTC you have reduced my stress considerably."Rating by: Katherine Kellaway | Rating posted: 17th Feb, 2016 | Contact: Kevin | Job date: Feb, 2016Katherine Kellaway•17th Feb, 2016•More details…

Original review: I purchased two hours of Harbour City Tree Care work from Grabone to tidy up my front hedge. Kevin and two staff turned up and did a great job in the time available, there was no mucking… about wasting time. Kevin asked what I wanted done and what the priorities were, and made suggestions as to how hard some of the tree species in the hedge should be trimmed due to whether they would grow back very bushy or just remain as bare branches. I really appreciated his advice and could change what I wanted accordingly! Hedge now looks much better and I was very happy with the service.
"Kevin responded:"As to the original review thank you for your comments and I believe they were heartfelt at the time you made them. The additional comments have left me somewhat confused. Firstly I am not quite sure what ETA stands for but we'll move on. I don't quite get point you are trying to make, as in the phone conversation we had after you received the reminder invoice for those unpaid charges, you said that you didn't realize extra charges were incurred for travel and green waste removal. This tells me that you may have not actually read the conditions of the deal before you purchased as these charges are clearly noted. Also I informed you of this when we arrived, gave you a quote with the charges listed before we started and an invoice for them when we left, none of which you seem to have looked at until you received a reminder invoice. Putting a large heading on the top of a review in a publicly accessible forum and trying to imply that I have in some way tried to cheat you by invoicing you for charges, which were listed in the deal, and to which you were bound by purchasing the deal, smacks of deformation and character assassination to say the least and is wholly inappropriate.

100%"Kevin and his two staff were brilliant - friendly, fast, and clearly knew what they were doing. Talked through options about a tree touching power lines and the removal of this and three other trees was done efficiently - no mucking about. They tidied up the debris, asked if I wanted to keep any of the wood for firewood and then cut it into reasonable lengths for me, and thought to give me advice on how to keep some of my younger trees managable as they grew. And, bless him, on the way out… Kevin gave me some great ideas on how I could put a latch on my new gate. Highly recommend."Rating by: Fiona | Rating posted: 18th Jun, 2015 | Contact: Kevin Squire | Job date: Jun, 2015Fiona•18th Jun, 2015•More details…

Kevin was very careful to make sure he fully understood exactly what we wanted, and politely explained what would and wouldn't work in terms of tree health and appearance.
We had Kevin and two of his guys working on our trees for most of a morning, and they were very hardworking and friendly. They also left everything clean and tidy when they had finished.
We would absolutely use them again."Rating by: Caroline | Rating posted: 1st Apr, 2015 | Contact: Kevin | Job date: Mar, 2015Caroline•1st Apr, 2015•More details…

The work was done while we were not home, and when we returned we were pleased to find everything completed, especially as there were some utility lines involved so the location was a bit tricky. I was also impressed that care had obviously been taken not to trample the garden/plants around the tree removal site.

63%"Kevin is a pleasant person to deal with, however, I was not present when the work was done. Kevin assured me this was not a problem because he took notes about what was to be done. I had asked for a lupin tree to be removed as it was crowding a grevillea - unfortunately both lupin tree and grevillea were removed. I had also asked for all the small pines to be removed from top of bank - only the larger ones were removed. Disappointing.

He was very quick to come to the property to provide a quote - which was much more reasonable than the other two companies I contacted. He did the work when he said he would and carried out the work as per the special requirements I had asked. The end result was bang on and all done with no fuss and minimal mess. In a nutshell, Kevin provides honest, helpful and concientious service at reasonable costs.

The free consultation was valuable: Kevin listened carefully, questioned, and offered excellent suggestions and alternatives. He and his assistant carried out the various aspects of the job skilfully, efficiently & effectively. I appreciated Kevin checking that I was happy with the progress of technical tree-thinning and canopy enhancement about which I'd been a bit apprehensive. Am rapt with… the results of this, the tree is enhanced and looks superb and the house receives more light. Delighted with all other aspects of the job and appreciate the methodical, clean and tidy clean-up and removal of all debris.

The service and advice we have received from Kevin has always been excellent and so we wouldn't consider using anyone else - particularly when we look around and see the results left by the "cowboys".
