Four trees were near a fence and they were removed without damage to the fence. One tree was located near a shed and the tree was removed without damage to the shed. Tree that needed pruning was located near a utility pole. Workers safely pruned the tree to provide clearance from the utility pole and power lines. Company contacted contractor (JULIE) to have underground utilities identified before work was performed. All work was performed as required by the homeowner.
Description of Work: • Pruned 2 trees • Removed 4 trees and flush cut stumps as low as to grade as possible • Back filled mulch into holes and leave excess at site ª Cleaned up and hauled away all tree debris

We used Homer Tree Care to remove a dying tree about 4 years ago and just used them again. Both times we were exceedingly happy. They are very professional and thorough, plus the work is quickly and neatly done. The bonus this time was their price was almost 50% lower than a competitor's price.

Description of Work: They came and removed a huge ash tree from our front yard. All the workers were professional and answered any questions we had. They were pleasant and did a fantastic job! When they left the area looked as if no one was here. It took approximately one hour for the tree to be removed and cleared away. I would definitely use them again and recommend their services.

Homer Tree came out and removed a 40 year old diseased tree from our front yard. They arrived at about 7:30 a.m. and were done and cleaned up within an hour. I was amazed at how safe and fast that they removed our tree. The men were friendly, courteous and quite professional. They dropped the tree as if you were in the woods and wanted to yell "timber"! I was quite impressed!! After dropping the tree, they cut it up and removed all debris. After they were done, it didn't appear that there was any work done except for the mulch pile. We had to wait a few weeks to get on the job list but it was well worth it. I would have Homer Tree back for any type of work that they do. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

Description of Work: Homer Tree service removed 2 trees and ground the stumps. They also trimmed 2 other trees in the back yard. The crew of 5 men were excellent. They were quick and efficient. The men cleaned up the yard very well. Another truck was suppose to come by later in the day to pick up the large trunks left behind. I had to call the next morning because the large trunks had not been picked up yet. The woman who answered the phone was very nice and within an hour someone was there to pick them up, hence the "B" grade for punctuality. I had several quotes from local places and Homer Tree service was by far the most competitive.

Didn't hire them based on unprofessional service.
Description of Work: Contacted them to get a quote but took them over a month to finally provide one after calling 3 to 4 times to follow up. Upon speaking to the arborist to follow up on his quote, he was rude and condescending when asked questions.

They were really nice guys, but we did not have any work done. They were very straightforward. They did not try to beat-around-the-bush. They gave us a price that was fair and competitive. We just decided to hold off for a little while on the process, but they were very honest. They explained what they were going to do and were not pushy. They were just good guys. They were quick to respond. They would be most likely the one we would be using in the future.

They provided a quote the next day after I called. The quote was very reasonable and fell right between 2 other quotes we had received. After accepting the quote they completed the work promptly. They did not disturb any of the other landscaping and cleaned up every last branch. They had discussed concerns about what their machinery may do to the front yard considering the wet weather and asked if there were any new patches they needed to avoid. Despite the warnings, they didn't damage the front yard at all.
Description of Work: We had them remove a 15' foot tree tree that was going to grow to big considering the proximity to the foundation. The tree was completely removed and the stump was ground out.
