The work was done on April 25. We were waiting for the bill to send in a payment. We received a letter postmarked April 27 from a lawyer claiming we were delinquent in payment and we would be sued. I would never hire this guy again. Be careful, because the above experience is an indication that the guy is not operating honestly.

I called 3 tree professionals for estimates and was surprised at the value Doctor Tree provided compared to their competitors. They left an estimate and said they had an opening the next day. They showed up exactly on time and went to work. They cleaned up extremely well and were a nice bunch of guys. I will definitely hire them again. I have more tree work for them. He even owns a nursery and offered to replant some trees for me.
Description of Work: I needed to have 2 trees removed.

Great!!! John was responsive. He and his crew were courteous and professional. I can't believe how quickly they were able to do so much! It was a mature tree and was dead from the Emerald Ash Borer. I was becoming increasingly worried that it was going to fall on our house because it was so close! John gave us a very reasonable price to cut down and remove the tree. They even hauled away all of the debris including what was lying around the base of the tree. They ground the stump too. My lawn and house looks so much better without a dead tree blocking it. Plus now i can sleep at night without worrying about it falling on us! He even gave us a quote for some landscaping while he was there.

John was very responsive throughout the whole process. He came out to my house for an estimate by the next working day after my initial phone call. The job was done promptly at a fair price and they cleaned up after themselves. I couldn't be happier with the work performed and the service I received. I would highly recommend this company and their services!
Description of Work: We needed to have a dead maple tree removed prior to having a fence replaced in order to prevent damage to the new fence from possible falling limbs from dead tree.

In a word Super! We were very pleased. Dr. Tree was on time, efficient, pleasant to work with, safety conscious, very competent and did the job exactly as agreed ... and all at a terrific price! I am generally a tough grader believing that 'A's' ought to mean something ... and that quite a few companies are just average (not really bad - just not standing out). Knowing that about me, I'd give Dr. Tree an A (A+ if I could).
Description of Work: Five large ash trees were removed and one oak tree was trimmed over garage. All were close to the house or our shed; all were very tough to remove for one reason or another (very brittle, leaning opposite direction from desired fall direction, poor access, some climbing required).

Fantastic! The company was responsive and pleasant to work with. They provided a quote and stuck to it. Our yard was simply transformed--and they did it in ONE DAY! We intend to use Doctor Tree for regular maintenance, based on this experience.
Description of Work: Our half-acre property was in serious need of maintenance. We had lots of weeds, overgrowth and invasive plants coming through existing landscaping. We also had a pergola--an attempt at a home project--that had fallen in a recent storm. In short, our space was a mess. Doctor tree weeded, prunes trees and bushes and rebuilt a sturdy, more attractive pergola.

It was a sycamore tree that is slowly dying. It came down a little bit. He took off about 25 ft. He did a beautiful job and cleaned up after himself. When the workers were cleaning up the ropes they used they took time to wrap the ropes up nicely and they have two people for safety. I will have him come back in February.
Description of Work: He finished up work on the second project today.

The initial work described in 1) above was entirely completed in 1 day. John Petros planned the job well and had all equipment and materials needed to get the work done; he brought a full crew to get the job completed as quickly as possible. The crew worked quickly and professionally, and barely even stopped for lunch. They recycled my retaining wall bricks left from the landscaping they tore out and used them to contain and support my rock bed previously being supported by the old wood benches. John and his crew are very meticulous and if something didn't look right, John caught it right away and had it redone. I was so happy with the job they did that I added some additional work to the project, which I described in 2) above. And, again, they worked diligently and had the work completed in just a few hours and it involved carrying a lot of rock! While I did not remember to take "before" pictures, I do have some "after" pictures but cannot find the option of getting them loaded as part of this review.
Description of Work: 1)Tore out old, fairly large landscaped area that sat on a lower tier and contained rotting timbers, overgrown bushes, and out-of-control plants and weeds; tore out wood benches that were serving also as a retaining wall for a rock bed; and relocated the post light. Replace all with dirt to level ground with rest of the yard and then seed. Also, removed a volunteer mulberry bush; trimmed a Bradford pear tree and a maple; and removed an arborvitae tree growing too close to the maple. 2) Cleaned up and re-mulched a weedy flower bed, and replaced two mulched areas with rock and placed additional rock in my rock bed to fill it out; planted a maple tree.

We had one large tree trimmed and ten stumps removed for the price quoted. John and his team quoted the price and performed the job all within the same day. They did an excellent job removing the stumps and trimming the tree. Very professional and cleaned up everything after the job was complete. Can't even tell we had bushes removed. Would definitely use this company again!

John from Doctor Tree and Landscape was very responsive when I called about removing a large tree which was located next to my house. He arrived within a few hours to give me an estimate . This tree had limbs on one side only, as the limbs on the opposite side had been cut off by IPL over the years due to the proximity to power lines. The tree had become out of balance with the remaining limbs hanging over my roof. John and his crew arrived promptly at the time agreed upon and removed the large tree. This was a difficult tree to remove due to its closeness to my house and the condition of the tree. They also removed a number of limbs from three other large trees. They were very professional and efficient and left my yard clean and free of debris. I will definitely call this company again for future tree services.
Description of Work: Removed a large tree located beside my house and removed limbs from three additional trees.

The Petro brothers and their assistant made this spring-time cleanup easy to handle. From day one when they stopped to provide an estimate and then later came by with a certificate of liability insurance, to T-Day when the rains held off and the hive of bees in an old squirrel nest decided it was too cold to get mad and swarm, everything went well. 2 trees were trimmed, dead limbs were chipped, our new septic system "scar" was leveled and seeded and everything cleaned up to look like nothing had happened that morning. And nothing fell on the house. Great job done quickly and efficiently.
Description of Work: Lateral trim of a large soft maple which was planted ?? years ago only 6' from my house. Picked up and chipped a large pile of fallen limbs collected from the past several years. Leveled, raked and seeded newly dug sewer trench. Removed fallen limbs from a hard maple which had broken off and become lodged in the fork. Pruned several small limbs from hard maple. Chipped and raked.

It worked out very well. I would be having them back to do my back yard. I wanted them to do the job in a couple of phases.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Doctor Tree and Landscape Specialist on the 10th of May 2011 for tree service. They pruned some extra tree leaves from the maple tree and also the river birch tree. They cut back the Junipers. They dug a curb edging around the Junipers and added rocks. They trimmed down the Forsythia bush that had gotten very tall and I discovered that there was something else that was growing in there too. They also pruned the Serviceberry tree, violet bush and burning red bush.

John was prompt when coming by to give the estimate. He quoted a fair price and showed up promptly to do the work. When I got home, everything was so clean you couldn't tell that someone had been there doing work. On a previous occasion, he cut down 4 small hybrid poplar trees and ground out stumps. When the invasive root system showed signs of coming back, John removed them when he came back to do the trimming. This is something that another provider refused to do in another instance. It's nice to find people that still stand behind their work.
