We had a tree that had been eaten by termites and was in danger of coming down. Ron's was recommended by neighbors, and came in with the lowest quote (fully half what a competitor wanted to charge for the same job). The work was done within the timeframe discussed, and every effort was made to ensure that nothing fell on the house or our neighbor's property. The guys were also good sports about my husband and father-in-law hanging around the whole time and picking out logs they wanted to save. Would absolutely work with this company again.
Description of Work: Removed one tree and trimmed several branches overhanging the house

I had someone else (who has had work done by them in the past) try to contact them and get an estimate, but they got the same amount of responsiveness. I have no idea about how they work, but if their work is on par with their ability to schedule and be professional, then I wouldn't use them.
Description of Work: I called the provider a few times, and tried to set up a time for an estimate, but was informed that they were unable to schedule that far in advance.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Ron. I received an estimate of $1600 to cut, grind stumps, and remove both trees on 6/30/2011. In December I was finally ready to move on with the project, however I also wanted to cut down an additional two smaller trees in the back. I called Ron on Saturday 12/10/2011 about 4 pm. He called me back on Sunday. He honored his price on the quote of 6 months earlier and came out at 6:30 am on Monday, 12.12/2011 to look at the 2 smaller trees. My total estimate was $1850. Ron did all the work on Monday 12/12/2011. When I came home from work, the job was done. Ron stopped over later that evening and I paid him. Beautiful job. In addition, Ron put me in touch with a contractor who is going to resurface my hardwood floors at an incredible price. And a contractor to do some dirty work in my back yard. Ron is a great guy who just GETS IT! What a find!
Description of Work: I needed two very large, old trees removed from the front of my home between the sidewalk and the street. The trees were interferring with my sewer line, so I needed the stumps grinded and disposal of the wood.

THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME I HAD RON DO WORK FOR ME. BOTH TIMES I WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH ALL ASPECTS OF THE JOB. HE WAS PROMPT AND DID ALL OF THE WORK IN A TIMELY FASHION. THE FIRST JOB REQUIRED THE REMOVAL OF TWO VERY LARGE TREES (ONE OAK AND A MAPLE) AND GRINDING THE STUMPS. THE SECOND TIME, HE REMOVED TWO LARGE SPRUCE TREES AND A MEDIUM SIZED CRABAPPLE. SEVERAL EVERGREENS ALONG THE SIDE OF THE PROPERTY WERE TRIMMED AND MANY FALLEN LIMBS WERE REMOVED. TREES ALONG THE DRIVEWAY WERE TRIMMED AS WAS A LARGE MAPLE ON THE FRONT LAWN. I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE WORK DONE AND WITH THE PRICE CHARGED.

Ron came out himself to look at the trees and did the estimate. He was the first to call me back and to do the estimate. I thought the price was reasonable for the size of the job. After calling him back to let him know that I had decided to go with his service, the work was completed a few days later. They had all the equipment needed and 5 people worked to do the job in a matter of a few hours. They completed it even though it started to rain at the end. I was a happy customer and would gladly use Ron's tree service again.
Description of Work: Removed an ailing large tree and its stump in the front yard and two scrubby small trees in the backyard. Also removed an old, rotting woodpile left by a previous owner. The tree in the front yard was close to power lines, so a bucket truck and rope system was used.

I had received quotes from other companies, but Ron's agreed to do it at a price I requested after I asked them if they could come down in price a little, only if I paid in cash on same day. Responsiveness to phone calls was very poor. I had a very hard time getting phone calls returned. The work done on the tree was a little rushed and limbs were just taken off at random - I was asked by the crew what I wanted done, when I had already explained this to the person who had originally looked at the tree. It was my understanding that the details would have been given to the crew prior to coming out. I even noticed after they left that some dead limbs were still on tree. Overall, not a great experience.
Description of Work: We had one large maple tree trimmed back some - dead wood removed and elevated off roof and street.

Got an estimate via email for $1500 to remove tree. After getting several other estimates from various tree companies which were much, much lower the $1500 quoted, I decided to go with another company.
Description of Work: Called to get estimate on an oak tree in my front yard, lower limbs were taken off during a poor pruning job and only a few top limbs remained on tree.

We had a very bad storm on a Friday nite which resulted in a 20 or 25 foot tree in our front yard being blown over. I called Ron's tree service on Saturday. I was told He would not be able to come out until Mon or Tues to look at the situation. He came on Tues. afternoon and quoted me a price of 350.00 for removal and grinding of the stump. The crew came the next day and in approximately 25 min it was all cleaned up.They did a great job and we were very satisfied.
Description of Work: We had a fallen tree cut up and taken away. Also the stump was ground down.

We left a message on the machine and Ron Harrington returned our call the next day. He scheduled us for an estimate within two days. He was reasonable and able to do the work sooner than others could even come for an estimate. The crew came when we were told they would, checked with us as to what was to be done. The job was performed efficiently and clean up was great. I would recommend them to anyone needing a good job at a good price.
Description of Work: Two trees and a couple of bushes needed to be removed since they were very close to the house and provided easy access for squirrels to our cedar siding.

Overall, service was excellent. They cleaned up all of the branches, chips and leaves from the area, around their truck and the road and collected them in their truck. They completed the job in about an hour and a half.
Description of Work: A fir tree fell on the side of my yard after an 18" snow storm. I looked up tree services on Angie's list and picked 3 close by in DE. Each gave me an estimate, two which were the same and one higher. Although Ron's didn't give me an estimate until the next day, he was able to do the job on the same day as well as including grinding the stump in the estimate. The crew of 3, John, "Primo and Mirena" arrived on time, cut up the fallen and remaining 2 trunks of the tree quickly. They worked well as a team, dragging the branches and stumps to the chipper. As two were chipping, John ground the stump thoroughly, not leaving any above ground.

We had a mostly dead tree in out front yard that needed to go. It was next to power lines and the street, as well as over our driveway. Looked on Angie's List and found a couple companies. Got a great quote from Ron's Tree Service. They were busy so we had to wait a while, but being fall it's understandable. We are busy too and missed a call from them as well, so we had a little trouble connecting, but it worked out. Tree and stump removed nicely and they cleaned up great. Very pleased.
Description of Work: Tree and stump removal. Tree was near power lines, next to the street and our driveway.

During a wind storm, approximately 40 feet of the tree in our front yard toppled to the ground. Within 15 minutes of calling, they came to provide an estimate. They removed the piece of tree on the ground that same afternoon and swept the sidewalk and raked the yard. The next day(after the wind had died down)they came with a crane and removed the remaining damaged pieces of tree. They were very careful not to hit anything(house, cars parked in the street, our light post)and I was impressed that they managed to do so given the tight quarters. Same as before, the crew swept and raked afterwards and my yard looked better than it had before the tree fell. I would not hesitate to use them again!
Description of Work: We needed someone to remove a large section of tree that had fallen over and to clean up the damage to the part of the tree that was still standing.

After problems with another contractor, I asked another company to check the tree. His climber said they could remove it manually though it had a hole and significant rot. However, he didn't seem that confident to me. I decided to use a crane for safety. I called Ron and he was able to schedule me on the same day as another job to share crane expenses. He was professional and easy to talk with. The First State crane company and Ron's Tree worked together to finish the job. A small branch fell out of one section and made about a 5" hole in the roof. Ron phoned me right away to give me a head's up. Ron had a nearby roofer come patch it immediately, and says he is willing to have a more complete job done if I don't think it is a strong enough fix. He flush-cut the stump, and removed all debris. He also elevated the sweetgum limbs that were too close to my roof. He put things back to their former state. Overall, good to work with, competitive prices, well done.
Description of Work: Removed hazardous 125' Tulip Poplar with crane located within a few feet of a rear corner of the house. Elevated several sweetgum trees. Removed all debris.
