We very well. They seemed to know a lot about trees. Did their job after listening carefully to me about what I wanted. Cleaned up after themselves. I will call them again this year.

Service was great. They were willing to walk the property and quote me without me there, which was very convenient. Very professional write-up was in my mailbox when I got home. Answered my questions quickly and confidently. Price was about $100 less than the next competitor in line, about 15% lower. Certificate of insurance was emailed promptly upon request. They did the work while we were away (again, very accommodating) and sent a bill to follow. The work was well done, exactly to contract. Overall very professional group and I'd recommend them.

This is an excellent company. Their prices are unbeatable and they are very knowledgeable and extremely clean. They did the jobs in a timely manner and I couldn't be happier.
Description of Work: I have used this company two times already. The first time was to trim four trees, and one bush. The second time was to take down six trees that were pretty much dead.

Extremely knowledgeable arborist. Very honest and articulate. Very helpful
Description of Work: Winkler was the third service I consulted about the pruning of a crabapple tree and the only one of the three that was able to speak knowledgably about the needs of this particular tree. The gentleman I spoke with explained exactly what would happen if I had the top of the tree trimmed back and what would happen if I removed particular branches. What he recommended in the end was something I could accomplish myself. The gentleman spoke clearly with the knowledge of an arborist, not as a hacker of branches. He was the only person from the three companies I consulted who could articulate the consequences of the pruning of this tree. Highly recommended for professional pruning.

Was told that it would be 2-3 business days before a sales person could visit my home to provide a quote. Asked if anything could be done sooner due to the severity of the situation and that the trees were in jeopardy and was told it would be minimum 2-3 business days for a QUOTE. No sense of urgency or empathy at all. Would never contact or recommend this company due to how I was treated on my phone inquiry.

Response from Winkler Tree & Lawn Care
We are sorry that you were not happy with our service, but 2-3 days during a busy summer season is not a long lead time for the free estimate you inquired about. Bag worms in a tree are unsightly, but they generally do not destroy a tree. Cutting the bag worms out and spraying will take care of the problem. We work very hard in the office to accommodate our customers which is why we have remained in business over 40 years. If you look at a number of our positive reviews, you will see we have many satisfied customers. We hope you have since had your tree issue resolved satisfactorily. Thank you, Joan Winkler

The job was done perfectly. There were 4 large trees on the lot and all were overhanging the house and the house next door and both garages. There were electrical, phone and cable wires entangled in some of them, too. When we bought the house the first thing we did was to sign the contract to have all 4 trees removed. We had used Winkler's for two jobs in the way distant past and knew that we wanted to use them again. We got the estimate before closing and signed it on closing day. We had to wait 5 weeks, but it was worth it. The crew of five, with several very large cranes and trucks, arrived on time early in the morning. They worked very efficiently all day to finish the job. There was a fence in the back yard, where two of the trees were. So there was some very fancy juggling of giant logs into trucks. The electric company had to be called to take down the power lines to both houses, and Winkler's took care of arranging for that ahead of time. The other two trees were in the side yard between the two houses. I thought the job was impossible and couldn't believe that they were able to remove all of that wood without damaging anything. I was sure cable would be out or that something would go wonky at the end of the day, but all was fine. They had a chipper truck for the branches/trunks that were small enough for it to handle. The other big logs were placed into a truck via crane and taken away. Two of the stumps were outside of the fence and we had those both removed. They did a great job of grinding them down, even one of them that bumped directly into the fence. The other two stumps behind the fence were taken down as low as humanly possible. The fence door opening wasn't big enough for the grinder machine to get through. I wouldn't hesitate to use Winkler's again for any tree work.
Description of Work: Removed 4 large trees that were overhanging two houses and two garages and removed two stumps.

Tree was removed as quoted and requested. Overall I would say they did a great job and I have already recommended to neighbors. Only complaint is I would have preferred if they clean up some of the wood chips a bit more but their quote was very competitive so I was ok with having to do a little work after.

Prompt and pleasant estimate given and, although there was about a five week delay in getting on their busy schedule, since there was no emergency it was well worth the wait; it cost exactly $500 less than the other estimate. Workers showed up exactly on time and worked efficiently, clearing up as they went. A very professional job and I would certainly use their services again.

It was great. They were the best price in town by a few hundred $. I was skeptical but i read the reveiws and they did an amazing job. When i got home from work, the tree was removed and everything was so clean i couldn't tell they were there (note, my husband was home when they came). I have already recommended them. They have also started treating some trees for beetles.

Overall experience was great. Crew arrived on time and if I recall correctly took about 4 hours if that. The guys also took away the loose sticks and branches from the side of my house. They consulted with me before the work started and after they were done. There was a branch they missed and the crew happily removed it.
Description of Work: Trimmed 2 large trees (50+ feet high, linden and maple) and 2 smaller trees (30 feet high, birch and cherry). Raised the canopies. Intent was to also get branches away from the roof of the house.

We have been having Winkler's take care of two trees on our property; trimming and fertilizing. We also just started the lawn service. They have separate staff for expert care for trees and the lawn. All staff have been knowledgeable and helpful and the care is tailored to exactly what our trees and lawn need.

The estimator came out the day after I called to look at my lawn, but i was not home when he came over. The person I spoke with when I made the initial phone call took my information and said the estimator would look at my yard and leave an estimate letter in my mailbox. Well, he didn't understand what needed to be done, so he called and we spoke and agreed that he would come by this week, either Monday or Tuesday (today) in the morning. He failed to show up either day. I called him around 11:00 this morning to say that if he wasn't going to show this morning, I would need to go a different direction. He called me back while I was leaving him a message, and I missed the call, so I called HIM right back and he didn't pick up. I left another message but I never heard back. I don't like to use companies that waste my time and are unprofessional right from the get-go as I fear it's a sign of things to come. Too bad for them! I have a lot of trees and could give them a lot of business!

Aside from a higher price,the only negative is that their truck left oil stains on a newly installed concrete driveway. I was told that they were aware of the leak, and they did put put a tarp under the truck when working to prevent stains. That was OK while working, but there was no protection when driving out of the driveway and oil stains were left in that area. Frustrated that they were aware of the problem, were asked not to use the driveway and didn't prevent stains. The truck should have been repaired before putting in service. Would recommend Winkler's based on their professional and skilled work, but watch where they park and don't let them park in your driveway to do work.
Description of Work: Removed tree branches overhanging the house in front and side. Their estimate was not the lowest, but most responsive. I needed the work done prior to new roof replacement; Pat Flanagan scheduled the work quickly to precede the roof work. The work was professional and complete with good clean up.

They were prompt and worked quickly to prune the trees. We asked for some additional branches to be removed from the maple since some of the branches hung over a volleyball net in the backyard. They also kindly cut some landscaping timber into smaller logs so that they could be taken away during the city's annual spring cleaning. Would use them again.

Called for estimate. They called back that day, came out the next morning to give an estimate. Called two others and never heard back. Scheduled job for May 6th and they showed up at 8:00 that morning with very new equipment and two very qualified men. The job was done and TOTALLY CLEANED UP in just a little over 2 hours including removal of all wood, raking and blowing. When I called to confirm the price since I added some work, and they lowered the quoted price back to the original quote before the added work because "its only fair based on the amount of time the crew was there". I couldn't ask for any better service, price or results.
