Work was done completely to our satisfaction. Trimmed trees let in more light in the yard. If it weren't for the missing limbs, I would not have know they had been there. They even removed limbs that had fallen on the ground from the wind storms over the weekend. We would definitely contact Ping's if more work becomes necessary.
Description of Work: Removed dead branches and pruned limbs in a half dozen mature trees in our back and side yard.

Jay Engledow (arborist) was very personable and professional and provided a very detailed estimate of the work to be performed. The crew arrived as scheduled and performed the work in a professional manner. They did a great job and the clean-up was very good to excellent. Ping has done work for me in the past and I've always been very satisfied thus I did not pursue additional estimates.

For the past two years, we've used Ping's to treat our Ash tree and deep-root fertilize it to protect it from Emerald Ash Borers. They come out and do the job without making a mess, and the tree is doing great.

This was a very small job - I was glad they could work it into their schedule due to the frequent rains. Our agreement was for them to remove one 3" maple tree branch that was too close to the ground, and do some light trimming of a red bud tree to keep it in shape. The crew did a fine job and cleaned up very well. While at the maple they also clipped off a few tiny branches that they said would eventually die anyway. The entire job only took about 50 minutes - even less than I had expected. I was told in advance that the work was not even up to their minimum charge to come out, which is around $270....so there was no surprise at the price. But I had no idea they would be here for such a short time. Just seems like they could have some more reasonable way of handling this brief of a job for a repeat customer. On the other hand, the quality of their work is very good, and I will likely use them again.

They did a great work. I'm pleased but they're a lot more expensive. They did a great job and I'm pleased with the quality of service. You have to wait for a very long time to get them to work.

Thank you for your review. We apologize it took longer than expected to finish your job. Unfortunately, the weather does affect our ability to work and occasionally causes us to get backed up. Our goal is to provide superior tree work in an effective and timely manner. We hope you will consider our services again in the future.

In 2014 I requested an estimate to trim a large front yard ash tree due to some damage on my house from the tree branches. The estimate included a program to treat that tree for Ash Borer. I had the trimming work done to my satisfaction and they began the Ash Borer treatment. Later, a second arborist recommended a $475 repair for a split in the tree trunk: I said that I was disappointed that the first arborist hadn't mentioned the split repair. I was told that the split may have just occurred, but I know that the split has been there for several years. With that information at the outset, I would possibly have saved around $500 by having the tree taken down rather than to spend the cost of having it trimmed. (This is reflected in my price and professionalism ratings) Another reason I decided to have the tree taken down is that Ping's did not provide any warranty on the treatment for Ash Borer. Despite this, I asked Ping's take the tree down and have them plant a replacement tree in it's place. The takedown included chipping and grinding the stump and removing the wood too large to chip. They also planted the replacement tree with a 1 year warranty. All this work was done in a professional manner to my satisfaction, including cleanup.
Description of Work: Trimmed large ash tree, later taking down that tree and second smaller ash tree. Planted 2" Black Gum tree.

Thank you for the review and detailed description of the service you received. We always strive to offer our customers the best, most accurate recommendation from the start. There could be many reasons why the first arborist did not recommend the split repair when the second one did. However, we are glad that you are satisfied with the end result. As for the Ash Borer Treatment warranty, because trees are living things, there is no guarantee that a ANY treatment will work. We do have a high success rate and will continue to save as many Ash trees as possible.

Sales people were verbally degrading about service of their own company, Pings Tree Service, when coming to my home to do estimate and service. This included arborist and salesmen. This did NOT include the manual labor guys-they are polite, professional and respectful. I have been a long time customer for over 17 years and Mr. Ping was always professional and responsive. Communication and follow up is now very poor, fragmented, disorganized and unprofessional. I was put off for 12 weeks with my summer job. When I would call monthly for follow up regarding timing of project, I was told it will be 3-4 more weeks. I only stayed with Pings out of loyalty. My loyalty with Pings is over as is their loyalty and service with long time clients. I will no longer recommend Pings Tree Service to family, friends or Angies List.
Description of Work: Removed dead tree from front yard by porch that was at risk of falling on my house and neighbor's car as I was advised by arborist. dead branch removal of several large trees in back of lot. They estimated work for removal of large trees in the back yard. $2500.00, and work order has been cancelled. Pings is more interested in signatures for payment and getting approvals, stalling, than getting the job done in a professional manner.

We are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with our services. We always strive to resolve every issue and ensure our customers' are satisfied. Our records indicate there was some frustration with obtaining the neighbor’s permission for us to access his property while performing your tree work. To protect both ourselves and our customers from potential law suites, it is our policy to secure permission to access the neighboring property, if access is necessary to properly and safely preform tree work. We are unable to do the work until the permission is granted. Our records also indicate that we offered you a special discount because of the amount of work you needed done and your loyalty to our company. However that discount was only valid if all the approved work was completed. Since you cancelled the majority of the work, the discount was no longer valid. Attempts were made to explain both of these policies, but we could not win your satisfaction. Your job was cancelled per your request. We are truly sorry that this situation was frustrating for you.

Dispatch person had very difficult parameters to work with in scheduling an appointment. I called on Friday afternoon and they couldn't give me a time within 2-3 hours when they would arrive. That's fine if I am just sitting around all day waiting for the tree guy to arrive....but I'm busy too. I will not be using their service no matter how high they are rated by Angies List

Thank you for your review. Due to the number of properties we visit daily, we are unable to provide you with a specific time when our estimators will be at your property. Generally, we do not require the owner to be present for us to do an evaluation and make recommendations on your tree care needs. We apologize that this is an inconvenience for you and hope you will reconsider our services in the future.

Overall the experience with Ping's was very frustrating and stilted. The initial survey and estimate of the job was very prompt. I contacted them on May 27 and had the convenient email estimate on June 3. I accepted the proposal on June 8th. On June 10, I emailed them to confirm they had received this. I finally received the "approval" on June 22, stating related to the "high volume" it would be 3-4 weeks before they would be able to complete the service (i was fine with this and was expecting our tree to be trimmed by the late middle of July). On July 15 I received another email related to the storms and their increase in emergency work and that this would further delay our service, which I again understood. On July 31, I emailed Ping's asking for an approximate time frame of when our service would be done. No response was provided. I emailed August 6 and August 11 with again no response. The last email asking if I could just terminate our contract, since their workload seemed to be too great. I called during this time with no helpful reply. After August 11 I called a few times a week attempting for someone to give us a time frame, and each time I was told they would have a manager call me back at the end of the day or tomorrow. I never received any return calls. On August 24, when I called and asked to speak to the manager for an timeframe and questioned if other costumers who had scheduled at the beginning of June were still waiting for service (which they stated some were and some weren't), I finally received a return call stating they would be out to trim our tree on September 1. They arrived September 1 while I was at work. Upon inspecting the tree, Ping's only trimmed the branches away from my garage, but not the specified 8 feet of clearance noted in the contract and did not clear the neighbor's garage nor the power lines. I called them and they returned the same week to complete the job. I went to speak to them while they were there the second time and was told that "they had not cleared the garage enough and would take care of it." I stated they also needed to clear the neighbor's garage and power lines in which they were not aware of and I had to bring out my contract for them to look at before they were accepting of doing these tasks. They completed the full job at this time and it does look great, but the effort and frustration that went into this service was unnecessary and disappointing. We paid our invoice the day of completion in full and have received 2 invoices still asking for money since and had to email them our receipts of service. I will not be using this service again.

I actually haven't used their services yet. I am hoping to actually make use of their service this fall. The quote that they gave me was very detailed and I would say that that was a good thing. It was a little bit of a high quote compared to some of the other ones that I had received. The quote itself was pretty detailed. They provided the quote pretty quickly. I didn't actually interact with anyone. I went online and they delivered me an email quote. I would consider them again.

After the violent storm occurred one evening, the tree in the front yard - which we had long known was on its way out - was swaying in the breeze. We located Ping, which was very busy in the area helping other homeowners cope with damage. Despite the demands on their time, they came right over and agreed to take care of the problem the next day. Although the estimate sent by email seemed high, the urgency to have the tree come down before it fell down was higher, so we agreed to the price. Imagine our surprise when Ping called to say that the estimate we received was sent to us by mistake and that in fact, our work would be considerably (less than half) of the estimate. The work was done promptly that afternoon. And because they felt badly about the confusion on the price, they removed the stump for free. Excellent service, to say the least; good, honest people to work with! (This is our second positive experience with Ping.)

Ping's tree service removed 12trees. Technicians did a good job removing the trees and cleaning up after removal . This was a 3-day process. Day two was removal of the wood in which a different set of technicians came to do this and day 3 was a technician coming to grind the stump. Each day, the technicians came early in the morning as promised and did a fine job. I would not use this provider in the future, not because the provider did anything wrong but I simply don't need to because I had them take down all of my trees in my back yard.

Everything was arranged over the phone. They inspected the tree and reported back to us and explained the charges to treat the tree. Then they came back and treated it. A year later the tree looks great while most ash trees in our area are dying. We know we are committing to reapply the treatment every 2 years, but to keep this tree which provides a lot of shade in our back yard is worth it.

Not well this is the message that I sent through their contact page: I am contacting you to let you know how disappointed I am in your service (without even actually using it). For the 2nd year I have contacted Ping's Tree Service through the "Estimate" page on the website. Both times I asked to be contacted prior to the estimator coming out so that I could meet with them. And for the 2nd year the estimator FAILED TO DO SO. Both times I gave specific instructions on what I wanted done and both times the estimator didn't include all the work I wanted done in his estimate. If he had called me, like I requested, this could have been avoided. The estimator that arrived at my house unannounced was Gordon Adams. In his estimate he indicated that he ..."**Sorry we wasn't able to meet.I left a Voicemail**". HE NEVER CALLED ME! He also didn't include all the work I needed done in his estimate. This is VERY DISAPPOINTING considering Ping's reputation. If you feel you need to contact me further you may do so at the email associated with this contact request.

He also didn't include all the work I asked for in my initial request. This could have been avoided had he called so I could meet with him. I will NEVER contact Ping's again. My thought is if they can't follow these simple instructions to meet how can they be expected to honor my requests on the work I am requesting.

Both trees are located near the house, so we wanted them trimmed away. For the larger tree, they informed us that they were going to trim it back significantly "so that we wouldn't be complaining in a year" that we need to have them back. I trusted and appreciated their insight so that we don't have to repeat so quickly. They cleaned up the area and left no trace that the work had been done (a good thing!).

I did use a tree service to take down that tree and I think it was Ping's Tree Service. Everything was just fine. They gave me a quote and came out and did it on the day they said they were going to do it and cleaned it up. I would use them again. It was a pretty good sized tree that was about 2 foot in diameter at the base. It was right on the property line and the neighbor was worried about it falling on his garage. They charged me about 1000 dollars. I got 2 quotes and they were almost identical. The price was fine too. They were both too high with the truck and all that. If we needed another tree removed, I would call them.
Description of Work: They took out that tree last year in spring time. It was very apparent that the tree was totally dead.
