They told and made sure that they got the okay from me to be able to go in the yard to take the tree out. They were very thorough and very complete. I don't have a worst part. The best part was the pricing and the knowledge of what they were doing. The price was excellent. They were really good.

They did very good work. I was pleased with the service. The price was reasonable. I've had no problem with price. I appreciated the work that they did and they did a very good job. Everything was good. From the first contact with the manager until the day that the work was actually done, it was good. I'm going to give them a call to remove another tree and do some trimming. I'll do some business with them again.
Description of Work: They removed the tree in my backyard. They removed some bushed and trimmed up some bushes.

It was fine. It went well. So far, so good. They sent out a very knowledgeable representative. The workers were very efficient. They actually came the same day because they had a crew in the area. I have a River Birch Tree that has a chlorosis in front of the house and I had to cut off one of the branches. They had to cut that off. I didn't want to lose the rest of the tree so they did the first chlorosis treatment. They were very good. They were reliable. I was able to negotiate the price a little bit. I think they were fair. They worked with me based on my budget so that was very nice. Overall, I was very happy. They were excellent. I have no complaints. The guy that came out did not push any extra products on me. I had a good experience with them.
Description of Work: They did tree trimmings to both trees and chlorosis treatment.

They were very nice. I took his card. I would have called them again. They were a little bit expensive and we're retired. They were knowledgeable and very good people. They were ethical. I do remember being impressed by them because they are so knowledgeable. The man who came out was very good with people. He had people skills. He was helpful and offered a lot of information as to the health of the trees. I thought they were very good. They did good work. It's just that the expense for some of the other work was too much so we went with someone else. I'm impressed by them. I would refer them.
Description of Work: They removed some branches from a big old 50-year old tree that was hanging over the roof line.

It was okay. I did have them come to give me an estimate on what it would cost to replace some bushes around the house. They did tell me they were going to send me an e-mail but I never did receive that. I have no clue if ever it got sent or not. Another guy came out and he was looking on my yard. I talked to him and he said he was going to find out what happened. I still haven't heard from them. I thought they did a nice job. I think the price was the same with anybody who charged to trim trees. I would consider using them again.

They removed the tree and it's probably a year or more ago and I though everything was fine. It was all a positive experience how they did the service when they said they would and they did the service well.

It was okay. My husband worked with them more than I did. I just know he was dissatisfied. He felt like they were charging a lot. We had them out for one specific tree but then they started saying, "This is wrong. This is wrong." They were pushy wanting to sell more of their products.

We've used them for a number of year because the quality of service has always been consistent. They are very professional. It's always well done. They clean up after themselves. They never leave debris. Everything has always been top quality. They always announce before they start anything that they're here and if it's alright to proceed. If you have any questions and if you physically want to talk to them one-on-one, they're always happy to come out. They have trained arborists. You're talking to somebody that knows about trees and plants. Their advice has been very professional and valuable. They're consistent.

They did fine work. We had no problem with it. I think they were a little expensive. Quality was excellent. I think punctuality was fine; otherwise, I would have complained. The only thing having a reaction to was the price.

They came in and took that tree out and cleaned the stump up and you would have never known they were there. They first year when I had them out and do some work they trimmed trees and they did a great job. I had nothing butt the best experience with them. They've done a good job and they are knowledgeable. The gentleman that I dealt with was very knowledgeable and helpful and the fellows that have done the work have been great, so I don't have anything but praise for them. The price was reasonable. They were here on time, they got the work done and they cleaned up. My experience has been wonderful. I have nothing but trust and respect for him.

It was fine. I recently got some tree service from a different supplier on Angie's List. They were little expensive for their amount of work. I think quality was good. I don't remember an issue of trying to schedule or anything. I don't remember a problem with their punctuality. I'm pretty sure they came on time as expected. They were very professional.

It was wonderful. We just had them come twice. We don't want to spend all the money for the whole season. If I had the money, I would do it and we would have a perfect lawn. It works very well. What he does is amazing. It really gets rid of everything. We've had them come every year. There's no problem. We call him and he does it. We know he did it because we see the little sign. A week or so, the weeds are gone. We would absolutely use them in the future.

It was good for a couple of years and then I've had a problem with the last year and then they didn't show up this year. I have apple scab and it needs to be sprayed at three different times during the spring. Last year, they didn't come in a timely fashion. This year, if you don't want their services, you have to let them know, I assume they were going to come and they never came. I called them to find out why and they never called me back. When I called, they said somebody will get back to me and nobody did. The work they did do when they did it was good. My tree was beautiful. They should have given me the service. My tree has apple scab this year and the leaves fall off early in the season. They're all yellow and they have spots on them. It's a fungus. Now, I have to clean up the mess that's left. They should have responded to me. I think they've gotten big and I'm a little customer. I thought it was a reasonable price. Everybody was very nice. I'm going to pursue it again because it does control the apple scab.

They've always done excellent work. They always have follow-ups. They send somebody out who is actually an arborist to make determination on what's going on with your tree. They will send a crew out to complete the work. You're always getting somebody who knows something about the trees and the bushes. They're expensive but you get what you pay for. They are not cheap however they worked at it for 11 hours. They involved a crane in the situation to take the tree over the top of the house. I got my money's worth. They are the top-of-the-line. They were out very quickly. We've had storm damage and they came by as soon as they can. They were out here very quickly. Their punctuality was very good. They were here when they said they would. I had no problem.
