They did a tremendous job and they came out on a Sunday, when the tree fell on our house, with a whole crew, which they normally do not do. They gave us a very fair price, which we were shocked. I called Gerald on Saturday and told him that we needed to be put on the schedule and they came out on Sunday. I have used him before and he was amazing. He is very fair with people. He does great work and the guys clean up very well before they leave your house. They will ask me if everything looks okay. He makes sure that I was satisfied before they leave and he is a great businessman. I would highly recommend him. Our house was just covered in tree. Even the insurance company was shocked at what he charged, especially on a Sunday. We always call Gerald out when we have tree issues; we have 5 acres of trees.

He said he would come and trim my tree and never showed up.
Description of Work: This provider returned my original phone call and set up an estimate visit one or two days later. He came when he said he was going to for that original "estimate visit" and said he would try to have someone come the following week. We did not hear from him during the week, but on Sunday, he called and said he would have someone there by the next Tuesday. That was the last we ever heard from him. He never called or came by and, obviously, did not do the job.

Because one tree was leaning dangerously and the wind was blowing so hard, I called and asked him to come earlier than scheduled appt. He did! He trimmed the two trees beautifully, cleaned up all around, and advised me on the leaning tree. Very pleased with him and his work. Will call him for future tree trimming.

He removed the tree without disturbing any existing landscaping. His pricing is more than fair.We communicated with voice mail part of the time. He is prompt and returned my call in a timely manner. We highly recommend him for any tree removal you may have.

All-in-all very satisfied.
Description of Work: They came out and Pre quoted a full tree project. We have a number of large trees on the property but the pricing was very fair. Though a family emergency prevented them from performing the services on our set day, they made it out shortly thereafter and completed everything in a single day. They were quite receptive to our wishes and worked well with what we needed. The trees, in general, look great considering we had to make some pretty major moves to get them back into reasonable shape.

Purviance Tree Services did a wonderful job for my friend and didn't damage the lawn at all. He actually placed some large holders and enhanced the site where the trees was removed so she could plant flowers. I never would have thought of that. He made it look better than it would have. I think his quote was very reasonable for my trees. He trims all the trees in my mother's neighborhood and his tree trimming work is beautiful.
Description of Work: I had called Purviance Tree Services out for my mother's but she had unfortunately gotten someone else. I recommended them to a friend who had a huge tree removed. They also ground the stump. She was very happy. They were lower than everybody else. He came over to my house to give me a bid and recommendations on three of my trees. I was very pleased with his recommendations and his bid.

Once I received the quote,I gave the go ahead for the project and they began to make the inquiries to PGE, and phone/cable companies. The power and phone lines for 4 homes are tangled in the tree. Two days later, I called in tears and had to cancel the project because, I was presented with a lay-off notice by my employer(Thanks alot Gov. Davis and The State of California).Anyway,They were so kind and gracious on the phone to me. I definitely plan to use them to remove the tree as soon as my employment situation stabilizes.
Description of Work: I called to receive a quote on removal of a 75 year old pine tree. They responded to my message within 8 hours, came out that same day and gave me a base price. The price quote was much higher than one I had received one year ago from another firm,BUT this new quote covered ALL the services and machinery not just the cut-down. I appreciated that he did his "homework" and educated me on all the factors related to this complicated project.

They do an excellent job. They've been in business for quite a while. They're very reliable. I would recommend them. They did everything they were supposed to. Our tree is still standing, and it's healthy. We never had any concerns. They were very professional. They always showed up when they said they were going to.

It is a owner operated company and the owner himself does all the work, but he has a crew as well. He does a really good job. He is very inexpensive and reasonable. The cost for tree service depends on what needs to be done.
Description of Work: We have been using the services of G Purviance for tree service for about 8 to 10 years now. I last used their services about a year ago.

I have used Purviance Tree Service a few times before and every time has been a good experience. They do a good job cutting...one that is healthy for the tree. I've seen other "tree services" that have damaged trees by hacking the trees up. Their prices are reasonable and they do an excellent job cleaning up.
Description of Work: I had an Oak tree trimmed and had my neighbor's trees trimmed back to the property line.
