Dave was a little hard to get hold of, but when he time, he came by to give us an estimate. While he was here he took the time to answer my questions about my other trees. He did not try to sell me anything, he was just being helpful. The crew arrive exactly when scheduled and went right to work. The tree looks great. They did a nice job of cleaning up.
Description of Work: We have a large Chinese elm in our backyard that was growing over the roof. We were concerned that it might allow rats and other vermin to get to the attic.

It worked out great. There was no extra charge. They were great. It was great. He was good with everything. He was very professional. He was very knowledgable and he gave lots of tips about the trees. It took a couple of hours to complete the work. They cleaned up everything. There is nothing they can improve on.
Description of Work: I purchased a big deal for $430 for 4 Hours of Tree Service.

THe guy did not show up for the appointment, did not call to cancel, nothing.
Description of Work: After I paid $50 for a service through Angie's List, I had to leave numerous messages for the business to make an appointment. Finally, I was able to reach the owner, Dave(?), who told me he would come at 5PM on 07/01/2016 but never did, didn't even bother to call. Very strange. I will not use this guy ever again.

Within 2 days I received an email stating they would be in the area to give an estimate. I advised them I couldn't that date and we re-scheduled. They never showed during that time. I didn't call them again until after Christmas and we had a lot of back and forth. As of this morning; I called again to request a refund.

Description of Work: They removed a large silver maple tree from a tight location between two houses. They used a 40 foot crane to lift out large sections of the tree up over a large date palm out into the street, where they then cut up and chipped or loaded on trucks and trailors. One rotted branch broke off while it's parent section was aloft. It landed on my neighbors roof, but did no apparent damage. David, the crew manager and owner, immediately contacted my neighbor and gave him his insurance info, etc. All in all, an excellent day's work. Safety precautions, clean-up, we're top notch.

The work was performed very professionally. The two trees were removed by lifting large branches and trunks, using their truck mounted crane, over a fence where they cutup the branches and ran through their chipper. They were very careful in protecting the building and fence that were very close to the trees being removed. The job site was very clean after the work was completed. Dave and his crew were very nice to work with. Extremely happy with the whole process. Looking forward to working with them in the future to solve my tree needs.
Description of Work: Removed two large trees and stump ground. Also health pruned one large oak.

This was a big deal purchase. It worked out well. They came out and got the job done. At the time we set it up at the allotted time. They did not damage anything and did what they said they were going to do. That is okay by me. They didn't damage anything, that is a positive, I guess. They replied, set up the appointment, came when they said they were and got the job done in about the same amount of time that they said they would be able to do it. They met all of the details of our agreement.
Description of Work: They cut down a tree and removed the materials.

I've called this business twice with no return call. The first time I gave them the benefit of the doubt; maybe they were super busy and my call slipped through the cracks. The second time is unacceptable. If you're too busy to take on new clients, at least return a call stating to that end.

Response from THE URBAN ARBORIST
sorry for you mistaken appointment [Member Name Removed] I have two reviews like this on angies list but none have contacted me through the messg center and nether one is in my data base through my web site. if you call and asked for an appointment through my web site all calls are recorded thus I have 5 different categories the call is placed in and the computer automatically prompts an update. and if you leave a mssg and don't hang up I will call back. as to if you reach me on my cell phone and do not have a scheduled appointment for that day . I try to fit you in but tell you that if you choose to be added for that days appointments I will call you after the scheduled appointment in front of you yes that means you are on stand by. and my not get in that day that is the risk you take to be added to that days already scheduled appointments. sorry if that is not clear as I have had this happen two times out of 120 that have ben taken care of in the last two months not a bad record in my opinion for a non scheduled time frame please use the angies list mssg center leave a through mssg with all information including your name your address and you phone number with best time to call. and if you choose to make an appointment we will get to you maybe not if you choose to be on stand by but than you had no scheduled appoint ment or we could look you up in the angies list mssg center or on my web site tks so much for your understanding and have a blessed day

Description of Work: Urban Arborist arrived on time. The arborist and I reviewed my expectations of the work to be done. He noted my wishes to have the crown thinned and have large branches removed from over the roof. We discussed the wind and shade factors. The crew was amiable and went right to work under the watchful eye of the arborist/owner in charge. The arborist/owner remained on-site directing the operation throughout the entire time work was being done. Prior to the actual work day, the arborist made himself available to me via phone and e-mail to discuss concerns and issues.

tks for your concern as you are not in the message center for ever having contacted me throe angies list. as well as my web site has a recorded line and tracks phone calls we have no call from you there you may have called my cell phone while I was in the field working which is why I encourage calling 888-781-1960 it takes about 4 to five rings but you will be recorded the computer automatically will prompt a fallow up call if for any reason we don't it will do the same with e mail

Dave Rowan came and gave an estimate for removing five trees he considered beyond help. He and two helpers arrived several days later, on time. The two helpers immediately removed the trees in the front yard, while Dave started on the largest tree in the back yard. They cut off limbs and immediately put them in a shredder. They then removed the large trunks in pieces and placed them in the shredder. When I asked, Dave removed a limb from another tree that we had not identified for cutting and at no extra cost. They picked up large debris and swept and raked up smaller debris. They swept the street where some debris had drifted. After they departed the yards looked as if nothing had occurred except for the additional light in areas where the trees had been.
Description of Work: Removed five trees, cut out fire blight from a large decorative pear tree, and recommended how to deal with fire blight and how to remove two large stumps.
