Description of Work: I used Grimshaw for several years, for a full range of services. A large white birch needed careful attention, including cabling of two major trunks, frequent pruning, and treatments for disease and insects. Grimshaw's work resulted in a tree of great beauty. In addition, I used their services to remove storm damaged trees on two occasions and other miscellaneous work. All work was accomplished in a timely, professional and safe manner.

Description of Work: Delivered a load of well-rotted chips, and expertly dumped it in a way not to block my driveway while I get the chips into shrub beds. Also gave me very knowledgeable advice on some trees that need pruning; I'll have them back to do it in June.

Excellent
Description of Work: We used this tree service some time ago, actually don't remember the exact date, but they were excellent. They came out in 2008 to give us another estimate for tree work, we were unable to spend/do the work at that time, but they spent plenty of time talking to us. They phoned before coming, came on time and did excellent work. They did clean up work as well. They were easy to talk to, responsive and we would use them again. They had huge cranes to get the work done, which we happened to need for our job. We would recommend this company anytime.

They certainly did what the estimate said they would. The problem was that the proposal/estimate, in retrospect, did not do a good job of translating my stated goals into action. There still are too many overhanging branches for my own plantings to get sunlight, and many of those overhanging limbs still pose a hazard to my property. Moreover, when the workers came, they suggested that I should have contacted additional neighbors beyond the one I had contacted at their salesperson's request. This clearly could not be done on the spot... I had had 2 weeks lead time to make the other contact. Also, based on phone contacts with their support staff, emails I had sent to the company, making clear that the property manager of the neighboring property gave permission for access to his parking lot for their equipment, BUT WANTED TO BE CONTACTED IN ADVANCE TO AGREE ON A DATE/TIME FOR THE WORK, had not been acted on timely. We were fortunate that the work could proceed at all on the date the company proposed to me.
Description of Work: Removing trees and many overhanging tree limbs from back yard, with the dual stated goals of a) providing sufficient sunlight for evergreens I had planted to grow; and b) remove the danger of limbs doing damage to my home/garage, and the inconvenience of the simple clutter caused by such falling limbs

Response from Grimshaw Tree Service
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the posted concerns of the customer. Using the customer's own words, “They (Grimshaw Tree Service) certainly did what the estimate said they would.” This is why we present a detailed written estimate for any proposed work. Our customers sign the agreement, work is scheduled, performed professionally, and payment expected at job completion. Extra work over and above the written contract is possible as long as the customer is willing to fund the extras. The customer's un-willingness to fund the pruning of overhanging branches not stated in our contract is why we felt we were unable to do the additional work. Thank you! Grimshaw Tree Service

I have known these people since I was a kid. One of the guys is of my age. I know him and his cousin. They own the business and they are phenomenal. I would not even consider using anybody else in the future. I remember talking to the people at my work place and they said that they were expensive. I and my wife really don't discuss prices when we go shopping as we get what we pay for. If I go to a grocery store, see some fantastic fruits, I would buy it. If I come home and find it tasting bad then I would not think that they gave what was expensive to me but would think that it was my bad luck. If you quote for the job, do it and do it as you say then I would be happy. They were great and they were very professional. They did a great job and it looked like they were not even there. They were very good. Mr. Jack, who owned the business, called me to say that I could save a few dollars if I put the job off until the winter time but I did not agree as the winter would be kind of slow. I told him that I wanted to get rid of them right at that time. He said that it could save me about twenty percent of the cost but I said that I was not interested.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Grimshaw Tree Service And Nursery Company few years ago for the tree service. They took down half a dozen trees in my backyard, got rid of the sprouts and put new grass seeds.

I have used them previously for trimming would not hesitate to call them again for any type of tree work. Everyone I've met or talked with is professional and they do a fantastic job.
Description of Work: We had 4 large pine trees removed, one of which had blown down during a storm. Grimshaw came the same day I called to provide the estimate and scheduled the removal at a convenient time for me. They cleaned up the yard leaving it better than it was. They also provided options for stump removal service based on how much work I wanted to do myself.
