We are very disappointed with the quality of work performed. Huge logs were dropped on the lawn creating a deep gouge and deep tire marks from the claw truck. Logs were left on the lawn for a week calling it standard industry practice! I spent a significant time picking up after them raking leaf and branches, and have to hire lawn professional to fix more issues. Also received a nasty phone call from owner. I have hired two tree professionals before and their work was immaculate. Go with Stumpy’s in Ashland. I will never hire BR Tree Service again nor recommend.

They did not perform the service. gave multiple excuses, did not return calls.
Description of Work: We purchased a big deal. Called the provider in August to schedule the service, asked if service could be done later in the fall- they said no problem. Called them in October to schedule. They promised to get back by the end of the day, but did not call back. I called myself, and they told me they do not serve my town anymore. I complained that they promised to perform the service, and now are suddenly changing their mind. Their person on the phone promised to discuss with the owner and call me back by the end of the day. He did not call. I called myself in a couple of days, and now the story was that they are booked through December. Promised to check if they can fit me into their schedule. Never called back. Their behavior was unprofessional, they don't return calls as promised, and they change their story every time you speak to them.

I purchased a big deal at $199 for $400 worth of service. The company responded immediately but due to my schedule and theirs, it took several months to find a mutually convenient date for my work. A very knowledgeable tree professional came to remove a low-hanging maple tree limb and help me figure out how to remove the rest of a deteriorating tree stump. When he had completed those tasks I asked if it was possible to remove another, larger limb from another one of my trees growing horizontally over my neighbor's back yard. He assessed the situation and did a skillful job of removing that very large limb. All the debris was removed and in less than two hours everything was completed. The question of cost came up when the tree technician reported back and the owned called me to discuss a further charge. We came to an understanding about the complexity of removing the extra limb and I agreed to pay another $100 to cover some of the cost of cutting and removing it. I was very satisfied with the quality of work that was done. I appreciated the skill and knowledge of the tree professional, and the final price was quite reasonable. The only real difficulty with the transaction was the problem I had contacting the office personnel to arrange a time for the owner to assess the work to be done. My availability for phone calls during the work day is erratic, so there were several weeks of telephone tag, and some miscommunication before we finally settled on an arrangement. I would definitely use BR Tree Service again, but not unless we can schedule an assessment in advance so we were both clear on the work to be done and the estimated cost..
Description of Work: Removed two large tree limbs and removed part of a stump.

All went very well. I called for an appointment on Monday May 18 and they came and did the work on May 20. Fabian, the tree cutter, arrived a few minutes late, but he was traveling from Natick to Somerville at rush hour so that was understandable. He was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and friendly. I told him what I needed to be done, he said "No problem!", and I left to go to a class. When I returned, all the work was done and the yard and driveway were cleaned of debris. There was no damage to my garden or yard. I got my money's worth!
Description of Work: BR Tree Service trimmed medium-size branches from three trees on my lot. The silver maple branches were too near the house and were overshading my vegetable garden. The London plane branches in the front yard were near to or touching overhead electrical wires. All waste was picked up and removed.

I purchased an Angie's List Big deal from BR Tree service, the company contacted me very quickly after purchasing the deal and was in contact to discuss work for about a week. They sent over an initial estimate for work on 3 trees. I asked for a more detailed breakdown and some clarification on what was recommended as the estimate through email did not have much by way of details. After this point there was no more contact from BR Tree Service after for over 2 months after multiple calls and emails asking for updates or any sort of contact back.
Description of Work: Provider would not return calls or emails after initially establishing contact.

Response from BR Tree Service
Dear Mr. [member name removed], I apologize for the lack of communication you experienced with my company after our initial contact. In addition to transitioning to a new scheduling system this spring, we had some personnel changes that caused us some unfortunate delays in our ability to respond in a timely manner to new customers. We pride ourselves on professionalism at BR Tree Service and if you do chose to consider us in the future, I will personally ensure you experience the quality and professionalism our clients have come to expect. Sincerely, Bernie Gauthier

Bernie and his team were here promptly in the morning. They removed all the trees and all the debris. When they were in the bucket they even removed a large dead handing branch from another tree. The stumps were left very low, which is what I had requested. They did very good pruning, taking the right branches and leaving the collars so the tree would heal properly. The price was more than fair, the work was excellent. I would definitely call them again!!!!!!
Description of Work: Took down 3 pine trees--one over 45' tall, 1 large maple --about 45' tall a dead tree in my woodland area and pruned a oak over my driveway

I am canceling the work due to lack of response from the tree service.
Description of Work: It took a while for the company to get back to me for an estimate. Once Bernie came we talked things out and i got an estimate on some additional work. I emailed him with a confirmation and request for a date but have not heard back from him

I met with Bernie yesterday and by the time he left, we were up to $880 for the deal. I just wanted branches removed and he wanted to remove trees and suggested a lot of extra work that I did not request. Things were not adding up to me and I decided that I did not want to pursue the deal.

Response from BR Tree Service
Hi (removed member name), In the tree industry we at B R Tree Service have a standard to follow, Massachusetts Arborist's Association along with the international society of arbor culture and with recommendations in attending continued education at New England Grows Conferences which is to do whats best for the Plants in question. We were asked to make cuts to trees which would not recover from such requirements by the homeowner and would keep us from following best management practices. We suggested the removal of said tree for that reason and it is leaning toward the front of the home and pulling out of the ground in a wetland area, along with that it was also keeping a Japanese Maple from acquiring sunlight therefore a lack of development on that side of the tree had occurred.We offered at no extra cost to prune the maple to help promote a full life cycle.We suggested the removal of two trees street side where they are a hazard and competing with each other, full of vines restricting maturity. Another tree along driveway was mentioned being it was dead and included in the scope of work brought to our attention by the homeowner. We are willing to revisit your concerns for tree services if we can follow best management practices set in place by the regulating organizations mentioned. Bernie Gauthier

They were professional when they arrived. When we needed a quote they were extremely reasonable. They saved us a lot of money over other quotes we received from other services.
Description of Work: They cut down several trees and pruned branches on taller trees.

Arrived when they said they would. Did what they said they would.
Description of Work: We were expecting a northester and we called them 2 days before the storm and they fit us in. We had a large, old maple tree that was half dead too close to the house. I recall they showed up on the weekend and got the job done just before the storm. Thank you!
