We had a tornado touch down on our property with huge oak, pine, Cherry, and every other kind of tree you can think of falling onto our driveway. When I walked down the driveway the morning after the storm, I couldn't speak. It was just such a mess and I wondered how we will ever get this mess cleaned up or who I should call. My wife found GRAVES TREE SERVICE in the yellow pages and I called with fingers crossed. Chris said he was "on the way". He showed up within the hour and when he got out, he was a little stunned I'm sure. His assistant Kelvin was with him and they immediately got started AND I'M TALKING IMMEDIATELY !!!! They cleared the entrance so that we could at least get our vehicle in and out by driving down our pasture and that gave us a lot of comfort, as we were totally blocked in. They worked that day until 5:00 PM and were back the next 2 days, working full days and methodically removing and stacking the debris in the pasture (at my request). The difference between that first day and currently is so night and day and we are both now about the business of getting back to normal thanks to these 2 men. I felt like the cost was reasonable for the catastrophic nature of the situation. I estimate that we had a minimum of 50 trees down and most of these were old extremely large trees with trunks you couldn't begin to put your arms around. When they were done, they cleaned up real well and the driveway looks almost as good as before. I'm sure when it rains a few times and the dirt drains off the gravel, you'll never know we ever had a problem, except for all the tree damage in the woods next to the driveway. I will be calling Chris and Kelvin again whenever I have another tree surgeon need. Both men were very kind, assuring, and pleasant-to-deal-with Christian men and I thank the Holy Spirit with sending them our way. They were "top drawer".
