Excellent. Thank you to Alan and his crew for doing an outstanding job. From the estimate to the completion of the work, everything was top notch. Very professional and impressive operation. The entire crew worked like a well oiled machine. Pricing was more than reasonable and job was done quickly and neatly. Would highly recommend and use for any future work.

Allan Potter, owner of Newtown Arbor Services came out the same day I called and carefully gauged the situation. He provided an estimate immediately that was very reasonable, and lower than others. He took the time to explain exactly how he would do the job, and what equipment he would use to do the job. He explained that his company is the only one in the area that has all the equipment to do the job right. They own the biggest reach bucket truck, huge crane, and a large capacity wood chipper. The day of the work, they arrived promptly as scheduled. The crew of five set up quickly and immediately impressed me with their professionalism. It was very impressive to see how they used the crane to safely and quickly bring down the trees, and stack the wood.. In total they took down the three huge oaks, as well as four smaller trees to make room. I asked them to leave the wood for me to process into firewood. They used the crane to place most of the trees in a convenient spot. They chipped up the brush into the woods surrounding my house. In all they were here about 8 hours, and worked quickly to finish the job. As far as I could tell, they did not even take a break. This company is the one you must use if you have a very difficult tree removal problem like I had. There are many smaller companies out there that will do tree work with minimal equipment and no training or real experience. Newtown Arbor Services is the real deal. You will not find better. And because they have the right equipment and know-how, they actually can offer a less expensive service since they can get the job done safely, quickly with less labor and in less time. I highly recommend Newtown Arbor Services. I am quite certain I will have them back again to help me with other trees that are close to the house.
Description of Work: I spent almost two years trying to get a tree service to take down a clump of three HUGE red oak trees that were leaning over our home. These trees were more than 30" in diameter and were only a few feet from the house. They were once cabled together, but the cables had broken in a major storm. I called many tree services to give estimates. Many did not even call back. One vendor who was highly recommended by friends came out and looked at the situation and I think was afraid of the job. He did give a quote, but would never contact us after I asked them to go ahead. I am actually glad they would not do the job, because these guys only had primitive equipment and I don’t think they were capable. Another vendor provided an estimate but also seemed unsure of how to do the job and put in an extra $1300 to hire a crane and operator. This vendor also refused to call back when I asked them to go ahead. Another vendor came out and looked at the job, and immediately declined the job and recommended Newtown Arbor Services.
