It took a couple contacts to get the arborist to tag the appropriate trees for removal (a rule for our neighborhood approval), but once that was all set, it went well. Their crew on the actual work day was smaller than expected (due to illness, they said), so they had to leave some large tree trunk sections and come back another day to remove them. They also had to come back because they forgot to remove a large hanging branch that was in the quote. We live in a heavily wooded area, so it is sometimes hard to identify all the specified trees and branches unless the arborist who did the original quote is present in person (he wasn't there the day of the actual work). The crew members were friendly and were careful using our neighbor's driveway to access some of our trees. Overall, happy with the service and would probably use them again (though not a certainty).

The company was very responsive, came out quickly to give me an estimate. We had some difficulty setting up the appointment for the service partly because our needs changed twice due to neighbors changing their mind. Foti was totally flexible and gave me 2 other estimates. All 3 estimates were below (and in one case way below) the 2 other estimates I got from their competitors. When the work was scheduled, they were on time, very professional, very courteous and friendly and did a perfect job.

We needed to screen our yard after the sudden appearance of a very large house next door. At least two trees were needed, one to lengthen a 20 foot tall hedge of variegated color evergreens and another to stand alone and provide both interest and cover. Matt was extremely helpful proposing the right kinds of trees and patient with our repeated questions and visits to his nurseries to view and think over specimens he had recommended. He was also very good finding us trees that were already big enough to answer our need, attractive, hardy and, very important, affordable. On the day of installation, his crew first dug out and trucked away the huge stump and root system of a 40 foot Norway Maple we?d had removed the prior year. It was a big job to do in a small area without ripping up our small driveway and it was done with skill. The crew were very patient and attentive to my fussy instructions on placing and orienting the trees they planted. I asked for one of the trees to be planted well above grade in lawn I planned to re-grade later. They brought 8 yards of loam, built a small rise, and located it perfectly. In following months, I followed Matt?s watering instructions carefully, eager to protect the investment.That the newly-planted trees survived the following winter beautifully when drastic temperature variations in Eastern Massachusetts killed so many trees and bushes (including others of mine) I attribute to the high quality of Matt?s trees, the expertise of his crew in handling and planting them and the emphasis he put on regular watering. Now, two years later, the trees are growing well and in excellent health. If I?m able to buy more large trees again, I will get them from Matt. I strongly endorse his professionalism and expertise.
Description of Work: Advised us on best trees to provide screening and attractive landscaping, showed us a wide range of trees to address our interests, made a proposal we could afford to install and guarantee the trees we selected, removed a very large maple stump and root system to make room for one of the new trees, expertly planted the trees, provided loam and landscaping to regrade the yard to complement the new plantings, provided detailed instructions on caring for the newly planted trees.

I had several trees that needed trimming or removing, including one in close proximity to the house so a crane was needed for the trimming job. They came by and provided a quote promptly and was able to accommodate my request to schedule the job within less than a week. Several of the smaller trees had grown through a fence which I expected would be destroyed in the process of removing them but Mike's team was able to carry out the removal task while preserving most of the fence. The work was complete in timely fashion and they did a great job of clearing all debris.
Description of Work: They pruned or removed several trees and bushes from my property, also removed a couple of piles of yard waste.

We had a great experience with Foti tree. Joe worked with us to understand what needed to be done with all of the trees on our property. The large Norway maple was ~125 years old and we were really reluctant to cut it down. Joe understood our concerns and recommended an specialized arborist to give us a detailed prognosis for the tree. The team provided the services over 4 separate visits and were very efficient and courteous. We couldn't be happier with the results.
Description of Work: Cut down a very large Norway maple and two smaller dead ash trees, pruned 4 other trees, fertilized a Japanese maple and large rhododendron, added a support cable to the Japanese maple, and treated hemlocks for aphids.

I called them to diagnose and old and beauitful sugar maple in my yard. They were able to diagnose the problem, perscribe treatment and put me on an annual plan. The tree bounced back to health and they are very proactive in contacting me to schedule continued care. Recently I had a general tree question for them and they were very patient and helpful on the phone, helping diagnose something for my own treatment.

They quoted me $11,000 for removing quite a few trees, which was really high. However, what they said was if they had the equipment, it would've been about $4000 or $5000, which I thought was a fair price given the number of trees. But since they didn't have the equipment, they were going to have to do it all by hand. Otherwise, they came on time and they were quite professional.

Came and performed the work professionally and cleaned up all debris. Were courteous and respectful to homeowner and were happy to answer any questions as they work proceeded.
Description of Work: Major limbs of large tree in back yard were trimmed to expose other trees to enough sunlight to remain hardy. Foti trimmed only the necessary limbs, thereby saving me the expense of further pruning and also keeping the aesthetics of the tree that was trimmed. They are really concerned about the HEALTH & LONGEVITY of the trees which is why I trust them and always use them.

I called for an estimate on trimming a few trees that were interfering with the driveway and some overgrowth. Within 24 hours and estimate was left including a suggestion for pruning another tree for health of the tree. The estimate was reasonable and the work completed within a week. Enough was trimmed to open up the space; certainly not overly aggressive.
Description of Work: I have used Foti Tree for many years and have always found the work to be first rate. Estimates are typically completed with 24-48 hours and work within a 7-10 period barring storms or other events of nature that call them to emergency work. The crew is incredibly thorough and leaves a neat work site.

They did a good job. They came and gave me an estimate and I called and they were booked up because of a storm. It was a couple of months before they got back to me. Initially, they got to me promptly, but didn't do the work until a couple of months later. I knew they were backed up so they just showed up when they started my job.
