"Hello! I'm writing to say I had a wonderful experience with the crew that came to plant a tree for me. I don't know the names of workers, but they came to my home last Thursday (4/30), around 2:00pm. These guys went above and beyond any expectations I had. In fact, I kind of didn't have any expectations and started wondering if maybe I fell off the list, or if there was shortage of trees, and I ended up planting a butterfly bush in the spot I was thinking of for the tree. When the guys came out to my house, they noticed, then called AND texted me to ask about my preferences on the matter. I felt so bad about making the job more complicated for them, but they cheerfully offered to transplant the bush into the bucket (that the tree came in) for safe keeping and replanting later. Then, they also very neatly arranged the decorative stones I had all around the tree once it was planted. And on top of all that goodness, they sent me a picture through text, and I didn't even have to ask. These guys completely made my day, and my heart is warmed by their goodness and kindness toward me every time I see my new tree. Thank you ALL for being awesome, I could not have asked for a better experience...this has been the best!"
