Sutton Tree and Land Care responded quickly to my request for an estimate. Dean was there the very next morning at exactly the time we scheduled. He provided me a quote as well made copies of all his and the company's licensing and insurance information available to me. I obtained quotes from two other contractors. Sutton's was the most competitive. We made arrangements for them to complete the services. The two man crew showed up on the appointed day and cranked out the job in about 5 hours. They were very courteous and professional. I was impressed with the quality of the work and the staff. I would absolutely use Sutton again.
Description of Work: We had two very large trees removed from our front yard.

Sutton Tree Inc. Customer Review Call to Schedule Appt. for Bid ? I called Sutton Tree to schedule an appt. Kristin returned my call promptly. I had many questions regarding tree trimming, their experience and if they had a certified arborist on staff. Dean and Kristin were very patient and helpful in answering all of my questions. Kristin is very professional and responsive, and we appreciated her follow-up. Request for Bid ? I met with Dean Sutton, Owner of Sutton Tree. He was on time for our appt. Dean is very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions regarding tree trimming, maintenance and he provided a written bid. I forgot to ask him for a bid on one other tree. I called him soon after he left our meeting, and he took his time to return to my home to provide a bid for the tree. I was very impressed that Dean was willing to take his time and return to my home. Dean?s price was very reasonable and we hired him and his crew. Tree Trimming Day ? The tree trimming crew, Carlos and Gerrardo arrived on time to start the job of trimming, reducing and shaping (7) Leyland Cypress trees, (2) Carrotwood trees and (1) Podocarpus tree. The Leyland Cypress trees are located between our home and our neighbor?s home. Carlos and Gerrardo were very careful while trimming the trees. They did an excellent job trimming, reducing and shaping our trees, they look absolutely beautiful. The job was completed in the estimated time. They removed all of the tree trimmings and we were very satisfied with how they cleared the property. Recommendation - We give Sutton Tree a ?5 out of 5 Star? Rating. We will definitely be contacting them for our next tree maintenance service."

Sutton came out promptly to discuss the job and gave me a reasonable, written quote on the spot. (Another company that I contacted never even called me back to set up an appointment.) Once I called Sutton to tell them I wanted to proceed, it took a little over a week to be able to have the workers come out. They arrived exactly when promised, talked with me about what I wanted done, with an eye toward shaping the tree in the future, and got right to work. Did a great job and cleaned up thoroughly. One small glitch occurred when the invoice did not reflect the 10% Angie's List discount that I requested. I sent the check in without the discount but noted that there should have been a 10% discount. I wanted to see if they would honor the discount or just cash the check. I'm happy to report that they sent be a refund of 10% and in the process earned integrity points with me. So yes, I will call upon them again.
Description of Work: Trimming three tall trees that were encroaching on a neighbor's property and on our house, respectively. I wanted them topped and also trimmed with an eye toward eventually shaping, while trying to keep as much foliage as possible.

They promptly visited the site to provide a quote for removal, which was more competitive than several others. They removed the tree and cleaned up debris both on our patio as well as from the patio of the neighboring unit. Work performed professionally without disruption to the lives of the tenant or the neighbor. The company promptly addressed any questions or concerns and their staff was very courteous. Tenant is happy, Neighbor is happy, HOA is happy. Job well done. Will keep them in mind for future tree trimming jobs.
Description of Work: Removed an ash tree (about 25 ft tall) from the patio area of a rental unit. Stump was treated to prevent future growth as we did not want the stump removed as it was located in an out of the way spot. The tree was up against the patio fence, the backyard was on a bit of a hill with limited access to remove debris.

Great. They showed up at the arrival time we were given, 2 hard working guys, I begged them to rest/eat/drink water...nope, just kept working!! This is our first (and last!!) tree removal job (we want a no maintenance yard) so I have no other company's work to compare it to. But I will say this...I got a bazillion bids. A few were flakey (no show to appt to give me an estimate, or no follow up) and disappointingly some/many were from Angie's List...I was getting discouraged and feeling like I wasted my money joining AL's since I was having this happen w/ different trades (we are doing a whole house remodel)....but Sutton was the only company (in Tree Services) that had excellent follow up from beginning to end. Dean (owner) came to give a quote. I was meeting w/ another contractor at the time so my hubby met w/ him and forgot to give the AL's 10% coupie. I called and spoke w/ his wife, Kristin (who I've nicknamed my Admin Goddess 'cuz nothing falls thru the cracks with her!), she said she'd take the 10% off. Later on she said Dean actually already gave the 10% but would honor what she told me and took off another $100. That is customer service!! I was scheduled when I wanted w/in a couple of weeks and all work done in 1 day! Oh and the workers were so nice, there was a prickly bush that would've taken my hubby forever to dig out. But w/ their machine, it took a few minutes, so they did it, and didn't even charge extra...and they cleaned up after themselves. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company! Great quality of work and excellent service! Thanks Dean & Kristin, you run a great customer service company. I already referred my next door neighbor. He's got a bunch of trees front/back!! Best wishes for continued success in your business!
Description of Work: They removed 3 really big/tall melaluca (sp?) trees in the back yard, a pretty big/tall liquid amber tree and a smaller liquid amber tree that was growing back (you could tell that that particular tree wasn't properly removed by whoever did it the first time) in the front yard.

I was worried that one of my large palm trees, which was on a slope, could potentially fall on my house so I wanted it and another one removed. Sutton Tree promptly gave me an estimate. While I was at it, I also wanted them to clear the plants that were overgrowing into my driveway. They showed up promptly on time with a three man crew. I was amazed that they were able to cut the palm trees down with little to no damage to the plants surrounding them. The were also able to remove my 80'x10'x8' Cape Honeysuckle hedge that was a real mess. Everything was done efficiently and professionally. I will be using them in the future and can highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Sutton Tree and Land Care took out two large palms for me without any damage to the plants around them. One of these was in a particularly difficult location. They also cut down a Cape Honeysuckle hedge that was about 80 feet long, 8 feet high and 10 feet deep and cleaned up the plants that were overgrowing into the area where I park my car. Everything was done very professionally.

Their work did not match what I asked for. I thought that the trees and roots would be removed too. These were moderately high trees twenty five to thirty feet high. The job done was not up to my satisfaction. I kind of felt let down. The boss came in order to make for the time and made someone do the job; that’s the positive experience. Their price was good. It was B for whatever was done. I would not use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used Sutton Tree Inc to get the trees and roots removed. They did the work probably two months ago.

From the time I first called Dean to give me an estimate until the time the work was done I was very pleased with the service. The estimate was done right away. Very fair pricing compared to the other companies I got estimates from. They showed up on time, did all the work and cleaned up after themselves. Couldn't ask for a better experience. I would highly recommend them.

Description of Work: I had Sutton Tree Service remove 3 loquat trees that were extremely messy near our patio and pool area. They did a great job, very fast and very nice clean up. I also had them trim a large bush on our slope that sits between my house and my neighbors. All this for a very reasonable price!

Sent the insurance certificate over as soon as I requested it and was very easy to contact when I had a question (a real person answers the phone!). Crew showed up on time and did a great job.

We found Sutton Tree and Land Service via Angie's list and called for a quote. Dean Sutton was very prompt and knew (before I even spoke) the exact way New Zealand Christmas Trees should be trimmed. His quote was reasonable and I felt comfortable hiring he and his crew. The crew, headed up by Samuel, arrived promptly. They were professional, knowledgeable and cleaned up well. Sutton Tree Service was the best tree professionals we have ever hired, including a licensed arborist who we hired as a result of a neighborhood newsletter referral. They have our service as long as we have this home!!!

Crew was very knowledgable, quick and efficient. The job required climbing high into the trees which they did with great ease. The tree thinning was very natural looking and nothing like the topping you see others do. We are very happy with the result.

The crew with owner arrived on time and started work right away. They were professional and careful of noise level as well as protecting my property and neighboring properties from harm. It was done with great clean up as well. Although price was a higher than other quotes, I got what I expected and it was done quickly and competently . The crew were careful of patio surface,fences and did a great job. Thanks Sutton.
Description of Work: I asked for a quote on removing 2 large palm trees from a small condo patio. We arranged for a date 2 weeks after the proposal. There was a Mexican palm about 40ft. in ht. and a king palm about 35ft.high that were removed and the stumps ground up. The space required removal of materials down a drainage ditch. All vehicles and debris from trees was carefully and completely removed. Clean up of my patio and next door neighbor's was well done.

Very professional from start to finish. I had concerns about one tree because although it needed badly to be trimmed it does provide privacy between our house and the neighbors and I didn't want to lose anymore than I had to. Both Dean and Josh spent time with me and really listened to what I wanted and also explained what was best for the trees and how they were growing, etc. Very patient and they did an excellent job. They have been in the business a long time and it shows.
Description of Work: Dean came out to do the estimate and then called the next day to set up the work which would be done the following week. Josh and 2 helpers arrived on time and trimmed/thinned out 2 large trees, removed some dead limbs in another tree, and topped 2 small trees. Removed all the limbs, brush and completely cleaned up the area.
