LARKIN TREE AND LANDSCAPE SERVICE

The first time i called and left a message,He responded that night to my first call. He showed up on time for our appointment. The price was agreed upon and a date was set for the trees to be removed. When that date came around, he did not contact me to confirm he was doing the job that week. I called him to see what was happening. He called me back that night and said he wanted to do the job in a week or two. I was not comfortable with that due to my christmas decorations and wanted to wait then until after the holidays. He said we could do it after Christmas. But then the next week, my neighbor called him about taking down some branches of their tree. Then he wanted to do the job the next day. I was still concerned about my decorations, but was assured they would be taken care of. And could they access my neighbors tree branches from my driveway. I said ok, but my trailer would have to be moved. On the day of service, I was dropping my daughter off at school when they arrived. They had already jumped my 6ft fence to get into the back yard and that tree was cut down first and removed. Then they moved on to the front yard tree and put cones by the wires of the Christmas decorations to protect them. The tree was taken down with out a problem. They moved my trailer forward so they could then remove the branches for my neighbor. I had to leave to pick up my daughter from school and paid them. When i came home they were gone but had not moved my trailer back to its original spot. We tried moving it but could not. I called him and said they would have to come back and move my trailer back up the driveway. He did not respond to my call, but he and his workers showed up the next day around noon and moved it back. He is a very poor communicator but great at cutting down trees and thats exactly what i needed.

Peter Larkin was great (my dogs loved him too). His guys did a great job on the work, and the price was WAY better than anyone else. The one bummer is that because it was a smaller job, we had to wait a couple of weeks to get it done - and then another week to have the stumps ground. But it turned out great.

Kevin Larkin is very personable. He gave us a very reasonable quote and his crew did a very good job. Keven inspected the work and made certain we were happy with the results. We liked him so much that our daughter had him do work at her house too.

Kevin took out two very large trees in our backyard that were hanging over our house and one smaller tree. He scaled the trees on some major equipment and methodically threw down chunks to his workers below. He was totally professional, was honest with us about timing (that he would fit us in and might call us at the last minute), etc. I liked that he explained every aspect of the job -- that he had to wait until the lawn wasn't quite so wet or the lawn would be ruined by his equipment, etc.

All work was done on time, well done with no mess and at the agreed upon price. Kevin was a pleasure to work with. I will use his services again.

They called back right away and gave us a written estimate.

I liked him. I spent around $200.He seemed to know what he was doing and he didn’t cut the entire tree out. He wasn’t brutal. I liked that. In fact, I wanted him to use him again, but he was too busy and he lives far away. I think I will call him again. I have already received quotes for some other work, but I like him the most. I will use him again in the future.

This is the second time that I have used Kevin (1st was probably in 2007, to remove a very large dead tree and the stump.) Each time he has returned my phone message the next day, given the lowest quote, stuck to it and done the job within a week of our initial conversation. He is a really nice guy and a pleasure with whom to do business!

Excellent. The timing was tricky-- not sure when they were coming since they were trying to group jobs. But they gave us one of the lowest estimates we received (and not everyone even returned calls to do estimates). And the work was excellent.

Kevins work appears to be solid. The biggest problem was contacting Kevin and scheduling a day for him to come out and do the work. It took a long time for them to come out, but it was worth the wait.

They did a great job, no complaints at all. They cleaned up afterwards and there was no damage to our property what so ever.

I have three very tall oaks (60-90') in my front lawn that were beginning to branch out over the roof, thus I wanted them trimmed. One of them is beginning to crack the driveway, so I was planning to have it cut down (I had no idea how expensive this would be). I got three estimates and decided to go with Larkin as his was the lowest bid for trimming (but highest for removal - I decided to keep the tree based on Kevin's advice - the other two companies were enthusiastic to cut it down, but since my wife is a "tree hugger" we listened to Larkin and kept it up). Kevin is an easy-going guy with a no BS attitude - he doesn't do a "hard sell". Two weeks after accepting his estimate, his team arrived in the morning and was finished by the afternoon. The estimated price was what I was billed -no surprises. Overall I'm very satisfied. There were three large divits in the lawn from falling branches that could have been filled -but that's a minor point and easy to take care of on my own.
