Berkelhammer Tree Experts was recommended to me by a family member who has used them for years. I had used a large company in the past, but was not pleased with the quality of service or billing accuracy. Fred Berkelhammer and the other employees in his small company are real experts, and Fred is always punctual at returning phone calls and a pleasure to talk with. I used them for several jobs last summer, and they put me in their system for work to be done on a large ash this spring, at the ideal time to work on the tree. They removed a number of dead limbs, thinned the crown, and cleaned up well. Last summer I had them take down a couple of large old trees before I had some solar panels installed. I was also very pleased with their work at that time. The only minor issue was that they forgot to remove a fairly small pile of brush, but it was not a big deal. When I mentioned this to Fred at some later point he was very apologetic and offered to come over to clean it up. I will definitely use this company for any of my future tree service needs, and for planting new trees.
Description of Work: Thoroughly trimmed a large ash tree.

The experience was high quality right from the first contact to the execution of the contract. The estimate was competitive with the others I received and the contractor was upfront with his schedule on when the tree work would be completed. He gave me a courtesy call before showing up to complete the work. When I inspected the areas where the trees were serviced, there was no debris to be seen, they cleaned up the branches and leaves very thoroughly.
Description of Work: Berkelhammer Tree Experts serviced several trees on our property.

I would recommend them. They charged me $1500 and it was quite a bit. That?s more than I have ever paid for tree service. They are very responsive. They might be more expensive than average, but they have always given me very good service. So, I haven?t really done any comparison shopping on that. They seem to know about trees and about when they should be trimmed. They have given me some advice about the trees on my property. They are not pushy at all. They just do the service that I want. I will be calling them because I have got a lot of work.
Description of Work: I used the services of Berkelhammer Tree Experts Inc. about two weeks ago for taking care of two very big trees. I have used their services many times for trimming and removing old stumps.

Excellent tree service. Fred actually remembers the trees he plants and follows-up to see how they are doing. He's selected and planted two trees for me, both of which are thriving. He's extremely knowledgeable about trees and consulted with me rather extensively before we decided on the type of trees to plant. They selected the trees at the nursery, planted them, removed old trees and provided instructions on how to care for the newly planted tree (which is guaranteed for survival for a year). Berkelhammer does a great job of pruning our trees. They know exactly what time of year the various trees should be pruned and do it the best way for tree growth and health.
Description of Work: Selected, planted, removed tree. Pruned trees.
