Very unprofessional.
Description of Work: They came out to give an estimate but the guy who came couldn't give one. Why would you send a guy to do an estimate that can't do one? He said he would have his son come by to give the estimate. He came 2 days later (I saw the truck outside) but never rang the doorbell and never called to give us the estimate. We never heard from them again.

When they got going on the lower branches we noticed the centers of Each branch was diseased. We expected this because of what Had been dropping on the carport for the last two years. Large pieces Of branches with black curled leaves. I sat watching them cut The limbs and after cutting only three limbs they pulled back and Moved the truck out. They moved to my neighbors back yard and cut sm shrubbery .... My neighbor arrived and I spoke to him About the fact that the branches were still 25 feet overhead onto Our car port as well as disease . I asked him to come and look at them which he did as WELL as Earl the owner of Throop and sons. He told me that that the tree was not diseased and that the black Limbs that were falling from the tree was normal. I explained to him that my husband had a dbl PHD in agronomy And ask Earl if he wanted me to go get him. At that point he shook His head and waved his hand at me like what I said was non sense And then said and quot;That's all the farther my bucket will goand quot; and walked Off. I had been filming when they first started in the bucket way up on the Tree and the statement that the bucket wouldn't go any farther Was incorrect and Earl knew that.
Description of Work: First of all I need to state two facts. #1 our neighbors have NOT lived in there house for 2 years. #2 we have 4 dogs who are out back laying where this Tree overhangs and large diseased branches fall. Throop and sons were supposed to cut huge branches that overhung on our property. Showed up three times NOT scheduled to cut the tree back. We travel so this wasn't working . We called to get in touch and try to coordinate a time when we would be home. The lady we called to Was very rude and short on the phone. We finally got together on a date that we would be there to allow The trucks access to the back yard .

I called several places to get estimates, and Throop and Sons came in lower by half than anybody else. They were quick to come give an estimate, and once I was given a price they came to start on the tree a few days later. On day one they took down all the branches, on day two they cut down the trunk. Everything went into a chipper, and they raked up anything left in the yard. We were billed in the mail about a week later, with a due date 10 days after receipt. About a week after we paid, we received a thank you card and magnet from Earl. Overall VERY satisfied with our experience, and we would definitely recommend Throop and Sons to others. It wasn't a problem for us, but be aware if you hire them that they do not accept credit cards.

Description of Work: We called Throop to cut some very large branches of our tree that were hanging over the neighbor's garage and to trim and shape the rest of the tree. They were on time, had the job done very quickly and cleaned the yard up as they were working. We have a small and compact yard and they were very careful. Not a plant or flower was damaged.

I initially called Throop and Sons a week ago and have called 4 times since then to try to find out when we could get someone out for an estimate. I was told by the women in the office, that she would pass on the information and the guys would call us back when they had time. Well it has been a week and we still haven't heard anything. At this point, we will be going with someone else since they are unresponsive.

We can't tell now that the trees were there. There are no stumps and no roots. Our experience was excellent. I like that there are no stumps out there that we have to mow around. Now when we mow the yard, it's just going to be nice and smooth. They came in and cleaned up. It was over and done; we can't tell that they were there. With regard to price, I really don't know. I have talked to a few other people whose pricing was less. However, they were left with the stumps. My husband and I didn't want the stumps or the roots to be left. We would definitely use them again in the future.
Description of Work: We used Throop & Son Tree Service to have two trees totally removed. They even took the stumps and the roots. We also had several lower branches cut down off of other trees.

Mr. Throop stopped by early on the 11th to give us an estimate for removing the three trees. We weren't in any particular hurry, but he said he thought they might be able to get to them in the afternoon if they finished a big job they were working on. At about 3:00 his crew pulled up in front with a large chipper and truck. One of the men scaled the big pine, removing limbs as he went,, then cut it down a piece at a time from the top. Every time he would stop cutting to move higher, other crewmen would grab the branches he had removed and haul them out to the chipper. With the big tree down, men started cutting up the trunk and taking the pieces out while others started on the other two trees. It was the most efficiently organized operation I have seen in a long time. By 4:00 they were all done, equipment stored, all the debris raked up and carried away, and the driveway blown clean. It was a pleasure to watch.
Description of Work: We had a large (2' diameter - 30' to 40' tall) pine and 2 smaller diameter (but not much shorter) pines removed from our fenced backyard/

They were very professional and got the job done in one day. They cleaned up the mess from the project as well as cleaned the neighbor's yard and driveway. If you hadn't seen the yard prior, you would never know there used to be a huge oak tree there.

I called for service twice within 2 weeks. I requested a diagnosis, estimate, and probable tree removal. The woman who answered the phone took my phone number each time and told me that someone would call me back. It has been a month since I last called, and I have yet to hear from them, so I guess they are not interested in my trees!
