They made sure that I was home before they began the trimming work. They want the owner home to help provide guidance for their service. I was happy with the trimming and they did a complete clean-up of the branches. I was very pleased with the work and clean-up.
Description of Work: They trimmed branches on two large trees on our property.

Maxwell Tree Expert Co Inc really seem to be experts. One of the people that came out early on was a biologist at a local college so they really know their stuff. They are convenient, they do what they say they are going to do. They do it well and we have them scheduled to come out and do our trees on a regular basis.
Description of Work: We have used Maxwell Tree Expert Co Inc numerous times. They treated a couple of trees.

Everything went well. They responded promptly to give an estimate and returned promptly to do the work. They cleaned up so well that the only indication of work having been done was the presence of ground-level stumps.

Rick Wilson treated my Ash Tree. The treatment isn't guaranteed and others companies don't guarantee it either. Rick gave me an estimate over the phone and it was the same on my invoice. He told me upfront it would be a few weeks before he would be out to treat the tree and he would just show up. I happen to be home when he did and talked with him about the tree. Seem very knowledgeable and nice. Plan on having him come back out in two years to treat again.
Description of Work: Treating an Ash Tree that has Emerald Ash Borer disease.

They are very professional and did a good job. They are certified Arborist. They cleaned up after themselves when the work was done.
Description of Work: Maxwell Tree removed some branches and cabling to a tree in our yard. The tree has a crack and to avoid it getting any worse, they put bolts on some of the major limbs and string a cable between the cracks to take some pressure off of the tree.

Everything they have done has been excellent.
Description of Work: They helped us determine whether a wind/lightening-damaged tree was salvageable -- this was their arborist. He was great. This was the first time we used them. We have used them two or three more times after that. They performed ash borer preventitive treatment for our ash tree. The ash tree is doing well. They have fertilized two trees for us for two or three years in a row. We are very pleased with their work.

Their arborist is Ben Butler and I would recommend them and him. They were very efficient and very fast. The cleanup was very thorough. They are going to do more work for me next year. They are very knowledgeable especially the arborist. Ben came out this week to give me some guidance on trees without expecting any contract work. I recommended them to my lady friend and she had work done on her place.
Description of Work: I used Maxwell Tree Expert to take down a tree and treat eight trees because of the Emerald Ash Bore disease.

In 1994 the company cut down a tree which had been struck by lightning. They cut up most of the wood for firewood and hauled away the rest. They left an 8-foot stump, as requested, for a wood carving. Their work was excellent and they did an exceptional job of cleaning up the area when they were finished. Quite a few years later we needed several dead trees removed and the stumps ground out. Again, their service was exceptional. It has been too long to remember how much we paid, but the cost was reasonable. I would not hesitate to use Maxwell again.
Description of Work: Damaged tree removed, wood cut up for firewood, stump of the requested height left (for another purpose). On a separate occasion, several dead trees removed, hauled away, and stumps ground out.

Will have to see how the trees look this spring.
Description of Work: Had Maxwells come out and treat disease conditions/ prevent disease in various trees. I never knew when they were going to arrive. They would just show up an leave an invoice. I have a pool with a privacy fence. I received an invoice one day for treating trees within the fenced area. There are 3 locked gates around the fence. The one at the back of the property was closed but unlocked(my huisband does forget to lock it after he mows), the others at the sides of the house were locked. I have to wonder if the technician truly tried all the gates and found the only one that was unlocked. I wonder if I got the service that I paid for. I will never know but will have to give them the benefit of the doubt and insist that they make an apointment with me when I will be home in the future.

Arborist assessed tree and called me on my cell at work. I authorized the service and it was performed on the spot. They treated the tree within a week of my original call. Arborist also noted the need to treat tree for mites, which will be done in spring.

They were very reasonable. I couldn?t have done that myself for what they charged. It was way less than I ever dreamt it would be, or I?d have had them a long time ago. They sprayed to begin with, and they were not very careful when it was windy, so I did lose a lot of flowers. They were good, but I guess you get what you pay for. I have a different guy doing it this year who is doing our mowing as well. I would consider using them again in the future though.

Overall a pleasant experience. Workers were professional and work was done beautifully.
Description of Work: We took bids from 3 different landscapers and not only was Maxwell the least expensive but we liked their design better. Work was started on time and finished on time. We feel that we got a lot for our money. Christie is very friendly and worked with our every desire. Therefore when we needed more work done we called them again.

They came and gave me a good estimate. The time they got the job done was really good. The gentleman who did job was excellent to work with. He explained what additional things needed to be done to the trees to help keep them in good shape.
Description of Work: Maxwell trimmed a few branches away from our home and also cut back the canopies of the trees. They also removed a dead tree and hauled it away for us.

I said I paid for this before but I specifically asked for it not to be cut this time so I don't want to pay for it. My resolution this time was to ask if I could call them whenever it needed mowed and not be on a contract, or I'd just find somebody else. His response was it's not working out for me I won't charge you this time, but I'm pulling your contract; I don't want your business. Cost was per mowing.
Description of Work: They mowed my grass. When I first got them the did a very good job, the problem was I signed a contract for a week to week. I asked him if a week goes by and my grass doesn't grow are you going to charge me? He said if the grass is short they would not mow and not charge. It was working out ok for a couple of weeks but one week when my grass did not need cut I got back from work and I noticed it was a little bit shorter. I called them to find out if they cut it. They said yes. I complained and said I don't want to pay for this. He said we mowed everyones grass today. I asked to resolve this can we just have it mowed every other week. That was OK for a couple times. Just last week my grass was extremely short, and I called to request prior not to cut my grass this week. I came home from work that day and they cut it. They cut it a day early and even when I requested them not to. It took me 2 days to get a hold of the guy and I told him my feelings.

Response from MAXWELL TREE EXPERT CO INC
THE MEMBER LEFT A MESSAGE ON GREG MAXWELL'S VOICE MAIL ON TUESDAY JULY 3RD (IF MEMORY SERVES US RIGHT). GREG WAS OUT OF THE OFFICE MOST OF THE DAY. WHEN HE RETURNED HE RECEIVED THE MESSAGE AND PUT A NOTE ON THE TIME CARD OF THE FOREMAN TO NOT MOW HIS LAWN THAT WEEK. BECAUSE IT WAS A HOLIDAY WEEK THE MOWING CREW HAD TAKEN THE INITIATIVE TO WORK LATE AND WORK AHEAD ON THE SCHEDULE SO EVERYTHING WOULD GET DONE IN 4 DAYS INSTEAD OF 5. SO THE MEMBERS LAWN WAS MOWED ON TUESDAY AT 6:00PM INSTEAD OF THE NORMALLY SCHEDULED DAY OF WEDNESDAY (WHICH WAS THE 4TH). IT IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR A CLIENT TO CALL IN AND ONLY MOW WHEN THEY WANT IT. OUR DAYS ARE SCHEDULED AND ROUTED AND TO NOT KNOW WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE TO TAKE CARE OF A PARTICULAR PROPERTY FROM ONE WEEK TO THE NEXT IS DIFFICULT. WE HAD ACCOMMODATED THE MEMBERS REQUEST FOR EVERY OTHER WEEK BUT THE REQUEST TO CALL ONLY WHEN HE WANTED IT MOWED WAS ONLY GOING TO CONFUSE THE ISSUE MORE. GREG MAXWELL TOLD HIM THAT WE WOULD NOT CHARGE HIM FOR THE MOWING ON JULY 3RD AND WE WOULD TAKE HIM OFF OF THE ROUTE. HE HAS RATED OUR QUALITY OR WORK AT AN A AND WE ALWAYS TRY TO DO QUALITY WORK WHICH I BELIEVE HE WAS RECEIVING. THE PROBLEM AROSE BECAUSE HE WANTED TO CHANGE OUR PROCESS AND SCHEDULING WHICH WAS NOT BENEFICIAL TO US.
