I know this company has had several good reviews; however...last evening I made an appointment for an estimate this morning between 9 & 10 a.m. At 10 minutes past ten, I called Tom to see if he was still coming. He didn't even remember me. I had to give him my address and then he said, "Oh yes, now I remember. I've had a problem on a job and I can't make it." What??? No respect for my time at all and I stayed home this morning waiting on him. Apparently he doesn't have the ability to log and remember appointments. Needless to say, I won't be using his company. Regardless of a few good reviews, with a work ethic like he has displayed with me, I would worry about the quality of his company's work, especially during a busy season. I'm just glad I found out up front what he is like before I hired him.

.I have used Tom Cramer-TC Environmental Service for many years. His is always on time and very professional. His price is always fair and complete. This job took 3 days; they hauled away all debris and did a complete cleanup every day their were on the job. Tom personally went to the wholesale nursery to pick-up (3) bamboo plants and planted them for us. Tom made an appointment with the fire marshall for clearance and met her at the property . . . she was impressed with the work he had done on the propertyand immediately gave us a clearance. He also offers a micro injection service to protect trees from infections. We had him do the large pine tree so that it would not get hit by the tree beetle like the other pines. We would defiinitely used him again in the future. ntal

Description of Work: Tom was great, and his staff was thorough. They removed a number of trees from our yard, and also trimmed others. They cooperated well with other yard work that we had going on. When they arrived and found things changed through other demo in the yard, they suggested an additional item of work and quoted a very reasonable added cost for this. TC Environmental was our middle quote of three for this work, and I'm very happy with the results, and glad we didn't just go with the lowest bid.

It took a little while to get the job done. He's the kind of contractor that likes to stand around his workers with a cup of coffee and then leaves. It was kind of odd. He was not consistant in communication (as far as parts and when the job would be completed). It was the middle bid I'd gotten, and I chose him because he's an arborist. But he did not know how to operate the sprinkler system. David, that did the work, was really a good worker and a good communicator. He was good about explaining how to care for my new plants, too.
Description of Work: TC Environmental Services put in some low voltage lighting and did a little bit of landscaping.

Our general contractor hired Tom to remove a tree stump in preparation for placement of a new concrete front yard patio. Tom responded quickly (next day) and came with the right equipment to do the job. Tom removed the stump quickly and carefully. He was personable and easy to work with. The charge was fair and reasonable.

Tom Cramer came to examine a snail vine which covered 50 feet of fence. This vine appeared unhealthy. Tom said that it was not salvageable. This advice was free. He was an extremely knowledgeable arborist & I was able to move on, remove the vine, and put in a fence. When I have tree & plant problems in the future. I will return to TC Environmental Services.

The job was done on time and extremely well. Tom, the owner, and his crew were very professional. The working area for one of the stumps was very limited, yet the result was still very impressive. Tom was flexible by accepting an additional stump removal (that was not included in the initial quote) with a reasonable price at the last minute. The total price was very reasonable for the amount of work done and the professional result.
Description of Work: Removed overgrown ivy (10' high) on a picket fence (80' long), one small tree, three large shrubs, trimmed a large vine, and removed five stumps by hand, as well as with a stump-grinding machine. They also hauled all debris away, including the fence.

Provided a clear, professional cost estimate. Price was lower than estimates from other companies. Arrived exactly at the date and time arranged. Worked continuously to finish the job. When their stump grinder broke, they quickly ordered parts and finished the job two days later. Asked us to confirm everything was OK and very responsive. Note: before using them I confirmed that they had a bond and workers insurance at the state web site. Was surprised to see that some other vendors did not have such protection
Description of Work: Correct name is TC Environmental Service, not the ATC originally listed by Angies. Remove 2 trees and grind down the stumps. Cut the larger branches into pieces suitable for a fireplace. Transported and unloaded the firewood to a nearby house. Also, topped off /trimmed a row of other trees. Removed and transported all debris. Good clean up.

THE STUMP WORK WAS SATISFACTORY THE ESTIMATING WAS HIGHLY UNSATISFACTORY. THE BID WAS FOR $1,950.00, BASED ON 2 DAYS OF WORK FOR 12 STUMPS. THE WORK WAS ACCOMPLISHED IN LESS THAN 6 HOURS. THIS MEANS THE ESTIMATE WAS GREATLY IN ERROR. THE OWNER WAS NOT WILLING TO REDUCE HIS PRICE UNTIL I BROWBEAT HIM. WE FINALLY SETTLED ON $1,000.
Description of Work: REMOVED 12 STUMPS BY GRINDING. MINOR CLEANUP.

TOM, FROM ATC, WAS EXTREMELY FRIENDLY WHEN I CALLED REGARDING TREE WORK TO BE DONE ON OUR PROPERTY. HE DID NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME, BUT TOLD ME HE'D CALL. HE DID CALL WHEN HE ARRIVED ON THE PROPERTY. WE DID A WALK-THROUGH AND HE SPENT PROBABLY 30 TO 45 MINUTES DISCUSSING THE TREES. HE LEFT AGREEING THAT HE WOULD SEND/EMAIL AN ESTIMATE FOR THE JOB. THAT WAS THE LAST I HEARD FROM HIM. I DID TRY TO CALL HIM (THOUGH I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO CHASE SOMEONE TO GIVE THEM WORK) AND THERE WAS NO ANSWER THOUGH THE PHONE RANG A LONG TIME. OUT OF BUSINESS ALREADY? I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED WITH THAT KIND OF FOLLOW THROUGH. CAN NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. WASTED MY TIME AND WAS NOT PROFESSIONAL ENOUGH TO CONTACT ME AND LET ME KNOW HE WAS NOT INTERESTED IN THE JOB.
Description of Work: DID NOT PERFORM ANY WORK ON THE PROPERTY AS HE NEVER SENT AN ESTIMATE.
