HORRIBLE. He raised the pin oak about 15 feet. Said he couldn't find the crab in the corner of my yard, Written in his quote, "dying crab in the back corner" He removed a beautiful 25 year old Sugar time crab next to my deck. He said they walked the yard and couldn't find another crab. A phone call would have settled everything. When he came to give the estimate, I walked the entire yard and told him what I wanted. I guess he didn't pay attention.
Description of Work: Needed dead wood removed from a pin oak and raised a couple of feet, 2 birch trees and a Canadian cherry trimmed back from the house. A half dead crab tree removed from the back yard.

Brian was very courteous and professional. We are very happy with his work and his pricing. We would definitely use this service again.
Description of Work: we had several trees in our yard that needed desperate care one of which was extremely tall. Brian called me back within 2 days, and I had an estimate to review within a week. We did have to wait a bit before he had availability but that is to be expected during a busy season and right after a big storm.

About three weeks prior to the time we had scheduled to have the tree removed I received a call from Brian. He said that he and his crew were done ahead of schedule for the day and asked if he could come out and remove our tree early. I said that would be great, but we had not removed the fence panels yet. He said that was okay he and his crew would do it. So I said Great! Shortly afterwards Brian and his crew arrived at our house and got right to work. They removed the fence panels, cut down the tree and cleaned up the job in about two hours. They even put the fence panels back in place when they were done. They did a fantastic job and the clean up was amazing. My husband was really impressed and Brian is just a super nice guy with an excellent work ethic and expects the same from his crew. I would recommend Arbor Barber for any type of tree service. They just cant be beat in price or professionalism!
Description of Work: We needed a 40 foot Mulberry tree removed that had grown into our fence line and was pushing on the fencing. My husband is very picky about workmanship so I looked on Angie's list to see if there were any tree service companies that stood out above the rest. I read the story of how one company started along with the reviews. Arbor Barber had some very good ratings so I sent an email to them on their website. I received a return call in less than 12 hours from Brian who is the company owner. We scheduled for Brian to come out and give a bid on a Saturday morning. Brian arrived on time. My husband met him and took him to the tree we needed removed. Since it was in the fence line he said that some of the boards of the privacy fence would need to be removed. My husband stated that we would remove them ahead of time. The bid was very reasonable and in fact came in quite a bit lower than other bids. The Arbor Barber bid even included a treatment to put on the stump to prevent foliage growth since we chose not to have the stump ground. However, they were about a six weeks out on jobs so we would have to wait to have the job done. We said that was fine and scheduled the next available date.

Brian and his crew are great! I had 2 trees that needed attention. One large tree needed to be removed and the other was storm damaged with a broken branch hanging over my neighbors swing set. I was stunned by Brian's bid. It was at least 1/2 of the others, with the highest bid of $1300! Normally I shy away from low bids, but Brian mentioned that my neighbor was one of his clients. This neighbor has the best landscaping in the neighborhood and is VERY persnickety about his lawn and home maintenance. I couldn't be more pleased - Efficient, polite, terrific clean up in my yard AND my neighbors yard! On a scale of 1-10 I give the The Arbor Barber an 11!
Description of Work: Storm damaged tree - removed broken limb, and trimmed the rest of the tree. Completely removed another large tree.

Brian is great! We have used him several times in the past, and will continue to use him in the future. His work is top notch, and he cleans up all the debris when he is done. Brian knows his trees, and really makes sure he trims the trees to allow for their health and future growth.

Brian is an educated professional arborist. He has the proper equipment to get the job done properly and safely. He has a good crew to assist him. They were protective of my other plantings and did an excellent job of cleanup, removing all debris and even returned my patio furniture to it's proper arrangement. Brian will also be removing an old overgrown tree from my back yard in August. I have peace of mind that with his equipment and safety practices, it will go well. I have used other tree services in the past, but never received the performance and service that I received from Brian. I am very pleased and highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Removed a midsize ash tree and ground out the stump, trimmed another midsize ash tree, trimmed three 35 ft clump river birch trees, and reduced two of the trees from 4 stems to 3.

Brian is a hard-working, easy-going and overall nice guy. He took care of four huge trees that I'd neglected for five years. They had lots of dead limbs and needed overall trimming away from the house and neighbors' yards. It was an estimated two hour job that took four hours. Though it took about 5 weeks from estimate to appointment, the quality and price were well worth the wait. His assistant works alongside picking up the branches and raking -- not an easy task. They'll be back in the fall for two more trees.
Description of Work: Remove dead limbs from 4 mature trees and overall trimming.

This was a wonderful experience. Brian is prompt, polite, and very good at what he does. We had scheduled him to do some extensive removal but found that it would be better to wait until August to complete all of the work. However, we needed some of the work done immediately and he was very accommodating and came right out and got to work. We plan to complete the work in August and I look forward to working with him again!
Description of Work: cut down several trees, chipped them for his removal, ground stumps, and removed several dead shrubs.

Everything went very smoothly from my e-mailing him, to his scheduling an estimate, to his promptly trimming the storm damage as well as mulching it and disposing of it. We have trimmed trees many times, but getting rid of the limbs is another matter. Our trash hauler wants tree limbs just so-so per their specs which requires a lot of pruning/sawing/cutting into small pieces and bagging into paper bags.
Description of Work: We had storm damage on a Bradford pear in our backyard as well as a little in another backyard tree. My three neighbors had used Brian before and were very satisfied with his fine work. I e-mailed him, and he called me very promptly in order to schedule his free estimate. He is very reasonable. He called me on my cell a few days later to say that he was in the neighborhood. I was not home, but Brian and his helper did a wonderful job. Can you believe it, a workman who did a terrific job without the homeowner even being home? Brian can definitely be trusted! Just as happy as my three neighbors who would use Brian again for sure. Brian will be trimming some big trees for us in the future.....Gave his name to two other neighbors with downed trees too.

I called Arbor Barber on a recommendation from a friend. Brian was busy and ask if he could come and give me and estimate with work to be done later and he would call me later in the month. I agreed and he called me as we agreed to set a date. He arrived on time, dressed appropriately, ask me to walk around with him to survey the trees. He made recommendations after hearing my ideas. I agreed with him and he indicated what he would do and how long it would take him. He proceeded to work efficiently, quietly, and carefully. I was pleased at how quickly he was able to prune even the large branches from the ground without climbing. Brian hauled the limbs and branches to his chipper, put the chips in his truck and raked the areas to be sure they were clean. I paid him the amount we agreed on. I was very pleased.
Description of Work: Six large trees were trimmed by raising the ceiling more than five feet. Two large limbs were taken out. All wood and debris were cleared and taken away. The work was completed in one day.
