Roy L Schwartz & Son Tree Service

Great - it stretched into one and a half days. The Dad bids the job, the son in law (?) leads the crew, then the Dad comes back to check up on things.

Highly recommend Roy Schwartz Tree Service!

excellent. work done quickly , cleaned up nicely.

Two other arborists came out free of charge to look at my trees and gave me written proposals containing more information than the "report" I received for $210 from this vendor. He ultimately refunded the fee and I would not recommend.

I went with Roy's company because he is an arborist and so very knowledgeable about how a tree should be reduced, laced, or removed. He also has a truck/crane with a basket for the trimmer to stand in reaching the tops of all the trees. They also placed tarps over my garden so that the sawdust didn't pile up on my plants. When the crew arrived on Monday, January 16, 2017, I found out that the main tree guy, Justin Coppola, is also an arborist and very knowledgeable. There was a cleaner, Terry Thiel, who kept up with all the debris and when they finished at the end of the day, the place was so clean! These were very professional tree trimmers and I was so pleased!

Came out quickly, was professional and friendly. Estimate was very straight forward.

In at 8am, cleaned up and gone by 12:30!

I would have hired the son. The father was rude and a terrible businessman.

Have used this company before, and again had great service from them. Contacted Roy on a Tuesday, he came out on Saturday to give me an estimate, and did the work on Tuesday. All work as requested, cleaned up and hauled away all trimmings and wood. Will use him again in the future, and have recommended him to others in the area.

Roy and his son trimmed (basically restructured) this same Chinese Elm for me 3 years ago. They did an excellent job, so I called them again. Roy's son, Brian, did all of the trimming this time and Roy provided the estimate and checked in each day. It took 3 days to complete the work - most of 2 days were spent on the elm. They are both very professional and so are their workers. Always there on time and worked hard throughout the day. Brian was the only person in the tree this time, where 3 years ago, there was a 2nd cutter so it took a bit longer. For the elm we focused on safety as it is overhanging the roof and a couple of large branches had fallen (from about 40 feet up) because of the recent rain and wind. The two trees taken out were basic, taken out and stumps ground. The Olive trees are being hit by the drought and the glass winged sharpshooter that is killing olive trees and oleanders. Roy/Brian will only trim dead branches from Olive trees at this time for these reasons. Topping and Trimming live branches would let the bug in. These guys explain this type of stuff to you and do their best to protect the trees and help the homeowner. They answer any questions that I have and keep me informed on what is going on at all times. They may be a bit pricey but they know their business both being certified arborists. If you want someone to just cut & slash with no regard to what is good for the trees, you can find someone cheaper elsewhere. If you care about your trees and want the best for them, these guys will do that.

I like that they don't use cleats to climb trees, They are very professional and all are certified arborists. I like everything about their work.

I can not emphasize how pleased I am with the work done by Roy Schwartz and Son. From my initial contact with them throughout the entire process, everything was done in a professional manner. This began with the answering service who set up the initial appointment for a "free" estimate after hours on a Sunday evening. I really appreciated the free estimate, as I had noticed some other companies, who had lesser credentials actually wanted to charge to come out for an estimate. With regard to credentials, I will note, this is extremely important to me. The trees I had trimmed are approximately 60 years old and shade a pole barn on the property providing much needed shade for this structure. Because of their age, I wanted them to be trimmed and thinned correctly by someone who knew what they were doing. I've seen trees that have been "lion's tailed" that are ruined forever and did not want that to happen to these trees. Roy and his son, in addition to being certified tree workers, are also certified arborists. In other words, they have the training to to the job correctly and actually enhance the natural beauty of the tree. In addition, they took their time to explain to me what and why they were going to do and they gave me a written price quote for the work, which Roy also told me would not change even if it took more time than he estimated to complete the job. I will also note, they were extremely punctual, articulate and polite. Roy showed up to conduct the estimate exactly when he said he would and he and his crew showed up on time as well. They were also extremely considerate of my property and their equipment was clean, up to date and in excellent working order. They were very careful as they moved several large pieces of equipment around the property in some pretty tight quarters around the barn and surrounding orchard taking great care to not damage anything. I will also note, they are fully insured, including workman's comp, which I definitely appreciate. In closing, I will just note again how pleased I was with the entire experience. My trees look beautiful...better than I even hoped for. I will definitely have them come back to do additional work on some other trees. The bottom line...If you have trees you care about, let Roy and his son trim them. You will not be disappointed in my opinion!

They are seriously amazing. Super professional. Good price.

They were good. They left the area fine and the staff was fine. I think it was the father and the son. They were nice. The work didn't take long at all. They came when they said they would come, plus they answered my call pretty much right away. They also came out pretty much right away.

They showed up on time with a team of 5 men. They did a very careful job of tying off limbs. Nothing fell in neighbor's yard. It was all cleaned up and they were done in 6 hours total. I could not ask for more.

Brian, the son, arrived on time and went right to work. Both trees were removed quuickly, efficiently and safely. I was very impressed by the focus on doing the job the correct and safe way. I would recommend this company very highly.

They were expensive but, they were very good. Best performance on angies list. I have never seen a group work that hard.

Roy promptly responded to my request for a quote. He was able to schedule me in within just a few days. Roy's son, Brian and another worker came out to do the job at the time promised. Both worked non-stop carefully trimming and lacing out our trees. After they were done they did a thorough cleaned up of all trimmings. I hired Roy first because both he and his son are certified arborists which is critical if you want the job done right. I was extremely happy with his service and there was a noticeable improvement to shape of our trees. I highly recommend them and will use them again.v

I left a message at the Schwartz number asking for a tree-work estimate and received a call back early the next morning from Roy Schwartz. He offered to do a free estimate right away. Within a few minutes he was at my door. After sizing up the job, he wrote me an estimate on the spot. I had made up a list of likely competitors to call before making a deal, and that is what I told Roy. But after he left I changed my mind. I had so appreciated Roy's professional approach and his price, which seemed super-reasonable to me, that I called him again and told him I wanted to go ahead. Then he told me he could do the work the next day, which was great. Roy and his crew arrived sharply at 8 the next morning. The morning crew consisted of Roy's son Brian and two helpers. Roy explained the job to them and got them started and was on-site off and on throughout the work. Brian did all the climbing and cutting, and did a masterful job, avoiding any damage to the chain-link fence that was one foot away on one side and landscaping piping that was two feet away on the other. The tree's trunk measured 3 feet in diameter at its widest part at ground level, holding up some very large limbs. All this was cut into sizes that the helpers could carry by hand down a 52-step bank that makes up much of my back yard. I'm guessing that each helper made at least 100 trips up and down. In the afternoon Roy added an additional helper to the crew. All-in-all, the work couldn't have gone better. The whole Schwartz company team did a superb job, and I will definitely call them on any future need for tree removal or trimming.

I have 3 Large (taller than house) Ficus trees in the front yard. Have not done any work in years as far as trimming, other than small reachable limbs. Dropping leaves and berries all over the place, limbs growing into phone/cable lines & way over the roof. I made an appointment to get a quote. Roy arrived on time and listened to what I wanted: trees cut back from cable/ electrical lines, limbs trimmed/ cut that were growing over next door neighbors yard, and all three thinned out. I liked what I heard about how carefully all that would be done, especially since the neighbors front yard has many potted plants. I made an appointment for the next week. Roy, his son Brian and another person (I have forgotten his name, I 'm sorry!) arrived on time & ready to go. Roy went over everything with Brian & the other person, & shared opinions about how to best go about it, such as shaping of the trees, how far back to cut the overgrown limbs, etc. He left after a while, & the work continued. Every so often I would go out & look, & if I had any questions Brian answered them right away. Limbs were put through the shredder as they went, so no big pile a the end. They worked very carefully & my neighbors yard & plants remained intact! Roy came back in a few hours, helped finish up the job & made sure everything was done to my satisfaction. They cleaned up all the branches, swept, cleaned the street that had trimmings as well as anything that fell on my neighbors "sidewalk" which is actually dirt. Best of all the trees are looking better than they have in many years! It takes a lot of knowledge to know how much of a tree you can remove, which limbs, & leave a pleasing shape & healthy tree. These guys know their stuff & I will never call anyone else but them!!! I was also pleased that the price quoted was actually lower with the Angie's List discount. Can't beat that!

This is the second time we have used this company and we can't say enough about how good they were. They responded right away when we explained the damage a storm had caused and managed to work us into their schedule to get the tree off the wires. They were able to reduce (trimmed) some damaged limbs to save the tree. We highly recommend them.

I searched Angie's List for a tree trimmer and found Roy L. Schwartz Tree Service just about a quarter of a mile from my house. I called him on Tuesday and his secretary set an appointment for the next day at 10:00 am. Roy was right on time, inspected the tree and gave me a good estimate ($575). I told him I found him through Angie's List and he said I would get a 5% discount; so the cost was only $546.25. He said his son (Brian) would be out to do the work tomorrow at 8:00 am. Brian was there right at 8:00 am with a big rig and chipper. He and his co-worker introduced themselves and got right to work. Brian climbed the tree and did the topping and trimming and his co-worker did the hauling and chipping. They were done in a couple hours and did a very good job. I was well pleased. During the job, Brian kept checking the see if I approved. I appreciated that. After the job we had a nice chat and he thanked me for the business. He and Roy (his father) were very nice and friendly and it would be my pleasure to recommend them to anyone that is looking for tree service.

This company was phenomenal! There is no other word for it. Roy came and gave me a very fair estimate and we scheduled the appointment for a few days later. The monster tree was situated on a slope in the back yard of a narrow lot. They made it all look so easy. They arrived on time. They slowly and carefully backed their massive truck with chipper trailer up the sloping front yard through the narrow passage into the back yard to the awaiting tree. They quickly and neatly setup for what I saw as a Herculean endeavor. However, to this well oiled machine it was just another Monday morning at work. The owner's son strapped on his gear and jumped into the bucket. Although the truck had to be parked close to the house it was never a problem. They were so careful every minute they were here. The crane arm lifted the bucket into the tree and so it began. Limb by limb they skillfully chiseled away at the giant nuisance. The chipper quickly devoured each and every bit of the tree and the mulch filled their giant truck. They methodically cut the massive trunk into chunks that the chipper could manage and cleaned all the residue from the top of the old shed and around the truck. I will absolutely use this company in the future and you should feel good about having them do work for you.

I sent Roy an email explaining what I wanted done and asked to schedule an appointment for an estimate. He responded through email that he got my message and would call me asap. And he did, got a call from him the next day and we set up an appointment for Monday between 9a and 10a. He arrived right at 9. Looked at both trees and gave me an estimate on the spot. It was competitive with another quote we had received (slightly cheaper) and he said he would honor an angie's list coupon. Made an appointment for Wed at 8am to complete the work. Got a call on wed around 730 that his son would be there at 8 but he got called away for another appointment. Totally fine. His son and partner arrived right on time took a look at everything and got right to work. Took them about 6hrs to complete everything including clean up and they checked in with me before cleaning up to make sure everything was as I wanted it. They did a great job removing the tree in the front, you would never know that a tree had been there, didn't even damage the grass around it and I didn't even think to ask that they be careful about that they just automatically did it. And they did just what we wanted with the back tree and the ridiculous root system that was spreading through our backyard. If you need tree work done I highly recommend using Roy and his team!

Right form the beginning I was impressed with the way Roy ran his company, specifically by having everyone there so he could introduce them to me by name. They are smart about what they do. They work as a team. They mean business. They are extremely down-to-Earth and easy to deal with. Every one of them knows what respect is all about. They treated me, my neighbors, my property, my neighbor's property, and the sidewalk and street in front of my house with respect. Before they started the 2nd tree they made sure I was happy with the first one. The two tall ones are approx. 50 feet tall and the beard of dead leaves was out of control because I had not had them trimmed in a long time. I still can't believe the price. And while he was here he showed me how to trim the Windmill Palm in my front yard. I appreciate that. It's time consuming to manicure that specific palm species and to have it done right costs money that I don't have right now. He actually showed me how to do it. At one point I asked him to take a look at my Grapefruit tree because I was having issues with it, pitiful fruit that drops early and yellowing of leaves and these brown spots with a yellow halo around it. He said he was 98% sure what the problems were, but before he told me he went to his truck to look up something. A short while later he told what it was. Citrus canker and I can't remember what the other issue was, but he was spot-on. I had not been on the internet regarding the grapefruit tree issues, but after they left on went on the internet and googled the symptoms and he was 100% correct on all counts. He nailed the issues, didn't miss anything. Copper fungicide treatment, fertilizer, and something else that he wrote down for me. After this review, I'm going to go but the stuff. I'm happy with the sick diagnosis, because now I can address it. The last thing each of them did before they left was thank me for my business. His son Brian thanked me for the opportunity for them to earn a new customer. I'm glad I called several other tree companies first. I appreciate what he did for me. I'm posting some pics.
