Above and Beyond came right away, in a day or two, to give me an estimate on the job. The price they gave was 50% less than the first company that came by and that person wasn't even very nice. I was anxious to get the tree removed and another tree trimmed and they came the next week (even though they had 2 weeks of work booked). I was very happy with their service. They they got rid of everything, chipping it up. They even cleaned up the residue that was left in the street, from the chipper. I'd highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Medium tree cut down and another medium tree trimmed

Very smooth, they used a large crane truck to lift large pieces of the large tree, over my home, to the street, from there into the chipper. They were done in approximately seven hours, with everything. A very professional crew. I highly recommend them.

Crew was supposed to come on Friday, but was delayed due to weather. As promised they came Monday. Did a good job trimming, hauled away all limbs, and raked the yard. I would not hesitate to use them again.
Description of Work: Removed a medium size dead tree and trimmed some other tree limbs.

I hired Aand B based on reviews here and a past experience with them. When I offered the owner Kevin the job, I specifically stated that under no circumstances were they to put any part of the tree on my lawn, and that I also wanted them to leave me some of the smaller pieces to use as firewood. I even told him I could cut it into managable pieces so no need for his crew to do so. Came home to workman hauling big pieces of the trunk with a large dolly and dumping directly on the fromt lawn. I told the workman I had stated I didn't want it there to Kevin, and he said and quot;It won't hurt your lawnand quot; and something about them picking it up that evening or first thing tomorrow. The huge logs were there the next day at lunch, but gone in the evening, leaving big gouges and depressions as I feared they would. There also was no firewood left for me as I had asked - it had already been loaded and tucked away by the time I got home. The only thing they left was a lot of sticks, and wood chips which buried the lawn next to the area where the stump was ground. Someone also left their big gulp drink cup. Wood chips from felling the tree that covered the driveway were blown on to the lawn. Sine it started raining, I assumed they would come by and clean up the mess the following day - they did not. When it was time to grind the stump, heavy rain had started to fall. When complete, the heavy machine made big tracks in the saturated lawn. The workman also moved some bags of yard clippings away from the street - I assume because they were somehow in the way. They didn't move them back so they were not picked up by the city. Kevin called me about the check and I stated my frustrations which seemed to make him mad. He came by, offered no apology for not leaving any firewood or the mess which he didn't bother to look at. He said the truck that picks the logs was broken down - not sure why the logs could not have been transported to the driveway when the truck arrived. He took the check and was gone. Apparently he does not communicate the wishes of his customers to his workers.

Was told our tree was healthy and that he would NOT provide an estimate for cutting it down. The tree is very clearly diseased, we have already received the required permit which also indicated the tree was diseased. Our neighbors also feel the tree needs to come down before it ends up on their house.

This is the second time we used Above and Beyond although the first experience was better than the second. Both times they did and excellent job. They showed up on time, worked non-stop and did a excellent clean up. The second time we thought the estimate was on the high side and they weren't as friendly.

They showed up in time and worked non-stop yet were careful and got done at a reasonable time. Payment was made after the job was done. They did and excellent job with the stump grinding. We got numerous estimates on the job and they were in the middle. I would defiantly recmomend them.
Description of Work: Had a large oak removed and the stump grided.

The experience went very well overall. Two gentlemen came out, did the job well and cleaned up after themselves. They finished the job within 2 hours, and they had a tree grinder, too. I was very pleased.

The estimate was given promptly and the work scheduled. After a few phone calls and a week or so late the trees are gone. The crew was professional, all debris was removed and the area was cleaned.

Above and Beyond Tree Service did an excellent job. I was away for a week, and when I came back everything was done. I was quite surprised that he didn't mind doing the work without the money upfront. Everything went great, so I've already hired him to do more work.
