Definitely call Andy McCracken, a guy who does work mostly around Del Mar and other parts of north county: 858-337-1441.
He’s been doing this a long time and is very knowledgeable, well-respected and offers fair prices. Don’t be put off by his trucks…one of his hobbies is restoring big vintage trucks so he doesn’t have fancy vehicles with a logo, but he is a wealth of knowledge and excellent at what he does. He doesn’t advertise but seems to always be in demand with most of his customers in old Del Mar. He’s done some very large, complicated jobs around town and cares a lot about the environment, especially taking good care of the trees.
BTW, he looks like he stepped right out of central casting for a mountain man type – long hair, beard, and ask him to show you his awesome custom belt buckle (a chain saw). Quite a character, but a genuinely nice guy who has true passion and expertise for what he does.
