They are by far the best people I have had in pruning trees, the price of the large and diverse job was very reasonable, they sort of come when they come to do the work, but as long as there is not a tight time frame (which there wasn't), the quality of their work is excellent

We use the consistently. I have used them for I don't know how many years. Probably since we have been here 20-30+ years. They treat every spring. I know it is automatically billed. I did get a quote from someone else and they were comparable. But I trust this company more. You kind of get what you pay for. Quality is an A. Usually I give them an A but they have been a little lack lately for responsiveness. So I give them a B. I would use them again. One person comes to complete the service, and it takes under 30 minutes. They left the area very clean. Its just a maintenance program so they continually keep my plants healthy.
Description of Work: They fertilize they do, trimming and stuff like that for me periodically. I know they did some fertilization, sprayed for apple scab. They treat and fertilize for all kinds of stuff, disease and fertilization.

Excellent! Care of Trees is the best for tree pruning and tree care. It makes me feel very comfortable with the work to be done when I meet with the arborist first and we talk through the work to be done. I highly recommend them and my arborist, John Kelly.

John came out promptly to give an estimate. He is very knowledgeable about his craft and took time to explain the need for his recommendations. He also followed up when the crew came to do the work making sure that I knew who to speak to with any concerns, walked the crew through exactly what was contracted for. I had asked for some additional work that day, expecting to pay extra for it. They did the extra job with no additional cost to me. The 3 man crew was very efficient and set to work immediately and worked three straight hours to finish the job quickly and efficiently. I was impressed with their speed and skill in dealing with the overgrowth due to our neglect in keeping up with the maintenance of the yard and hedges. They cleaned up all debris and we were very pleased.
Description of Work: Removed two large trees- trimmed 15 years worth of growth on privacy hedge- trimmed remaining trees and shrubs- removed several other shrubs and small trees- cleaned up all debris

They were on time, efficient as can be and super neat. They were very friendly when our 5 year old twins wanted to wave at them from inside the house while they were working (they waved back, smiled, etc.). The neighbor's yard and trees are very neat; these guys did a very good job.
Description of Work: Trimmed ~ 20 feet from two large branches of a Silver Maple in our back yard. Our next door neighbor had them trim several trees & take down a dying tree in their front yard; idk how much that was. They carted away all the branches.

We've been using The Care of Trees - Barrington for a number of years. They're an excellent service. They do excellent work. The prices are very fair. They're superb. We got estimates from other companies for the most recent job and they were all $1,000.00 over the price we got from The Care of Trees. They were very good. Everything went well. They cleaned up after themselves. You can get guys who take down trees who just hack them down. They're not professional and these guys are professional. They're medium priced, not necessarily low.
Description of Work: They removed two of our silver maple trees that have been here for 47 years. They were tall.

I own several rental homes and have used this company at several properties. I had no issue with the company - and would have wholeheartedly recommended them to others until my most recent experience. On 6/5, I called to get an estimate for additional services at a previously serviced address. On 6/11, I received a phone call from the office to see if I was satisfied with the work done. I mentioned the outstanding request for an additional quote. She said that she would look into it and have someone get back to me. On 6/20, I called to see what was holding up the requested estimate. The arborist returned my call, citing his busy schedule (a drop-by had been added to his schedule on 6/6). He stated that it normally takes a week to do an estimate and again said that he had been busy. To date, the property has not been visited to prepare an estimate. From the argumentative tone of his voice, I believe he is more interested in defending why he was unable to visit the property or appraise me of the delay for two weeks than to provide the requested service.

Dan came and looked over the lot and spent time discussing options with me. He sent me a quote and property map. We scheduled a time for work to be done and the crew came out and did what we had discusse and cleaned up afterward. All in all it was a good experience.

They are just the best. Their price was A+ and the service was phenomenal. The professionalism and their clean up were also A+. They then had to take down a big portion of my fence to get their equipment in the yard. After the work was done, they came back the next day and put the fence back up. They were here all day working. They then had these huge logs; they were here at 8 in the morning the next day and cleaned up every log. They were beyond excellent. All their workers were phenomenal with taking the trees down. The stump grinding and follow up was superb. They were very organized and very systematic. Their service throughout the years has been excellent!
Description of Work: We’ve used them for a number of years to prune trees and trim branches; they have also done treatments on the trees. Recently, they did some work for me. We had 2 trees that we were having problems with like branches always falling. They took the 2 huge trees down; the trees were about 50 years old.

The trees did all that until The Care of Trees company cut off all of the branches on one side of it. All that is left are several skeletonized trucks baking in the sun, some skinny little branches close to the ground, and some leafy branches fifty feet up. From 10 feet above the ground to to 50 feet in the air, my tree is bare of branches. Additionally they didn't even seal the raw stumps against insect infection, and they did all this butchery to my tree during the worst of the drought stress on the tree. When I asked the landscape manager of the subdivision about the mutilation of my tree, he stated that if all the branches were not cut off, the tree would just grow more leaves! This logic is similar to amputating an arm to get rid of a hangnail. It is painful to see that tortured tree everyday. And costly to me also in sun damage to my art and furnishings and plants. Others thinking of using The Care of Trees company (or moving to this subdivision) might wish to reconsider!
Description of Work: The Care of Trees company is on contract with my subdivisions HOA for maintaining some of the trees on the property. The Care of Trees is paid hundreds of thousands of dollars of homeowners assessments. On or about 1 August 2012 they were sent by the subdivisions landscape manager, ostensibly to prune a large, healthy, vital tree behind my unit. The tree actually did not even need pruning, and was an integral part of my view, my use of my balcony, several hundred dollars worth of Carge balcony plants, and the shading of an 8' x 10' expensive oil painting which cannot be moved. Aesthetically it was a beautiful tree, which, in addition to all of the above, also kept my air-conditioning bill at a reasonable amount.

John Kelly was the individual who coordinated my tree removal. He provided me with a prompt and free quote to cut down one dead tree and prune another massive evergreen that was encroaching alongside my house. I agreed at a very fair price with him and then he subsequently even additionally included removal of three overgrown bushes at no extra charge. The tree removal staff came prepared with cherry picker, a whisper chipper and a stump remover. The staff of three quickly and professionally accomplished all of the requested tree services and cleaned my property with a leaf blower, broom and rakes. I am very impressed and would not hesitate to use The Care of Trees and John Kelly again!

They were really good but their estimate was more than another company, so we went with the other company. They were very responsive and quite punctual for the estimate. They seemed to be quite professional.

They never actually performed any work, just came out to take a look at the work, then were supposed to provide an estimate. The man who came showed up an hour early at 8:30am waking up my baby (who never sleeps). He apologized and came back at the right time. I left the house for work, my husband said he was nice and was emailing a quote w/in the next few days. I had to follow up w/ them 2 weeks later asking for my quote. The rep. said they'd send it to me right away. It's now been almost a month and no quote. I just emailed them to say to forget about it, I am no longer interested. Unfortunately, this has been a huge waste of my time.

They do excellent work and their equipment is excellent. They are extremely professional and all employees are dressed appropriately. The billing and administration of the company is great.

John Kelly, the representative, is very customer focused, responsive and answered all of my questions. When I contacted them they came out right away to meet with me and walk me through everything. I don't really see them when they come out but I've never had an issue. The men that cut the trees were great. They are on the moderate to expensive side for cost but I feel it's worth it because they do such a great job.
