This fellow did a great job cutting down and removing two tall (90+ feet) tulip poplars close to the back of our home. Other companies proposed bringing in large cranes, including one that wanted to reach *over* our two-story house! Tip Top took a less dramatic approach, with excellent results and minimal damage to our lawn. One of our neighbors was so well impressed by their work that he contracted with Tip Top for work right after they finished our job. Tip Top did a nice job of cleaning up, which was a huge help considering the amount of debris after the stump grinding. We will use Tip Top again if we need any tree services.
Description of Work: Removed two large tulip poplars that were in our back yard, including removing the stumps by grinding, and then filling in with topsoil.

After talking to Don around 9am, by 2pm he had done all the work for the HOA, me, and another neighbor, and cleaned up. He did a great job and it looks good. He takes time to trim up the little branches and to make sure the cuts are clean.
Description of Work: Don trimmed up a tree that was messy and overgrown and growing into the gutters on the neighbor's townhome and also removed limbs high from a tree in my backyard that obscured the sky and threatened to damage my shed if they fell. He was in the neighborhood already for the HOA, and I asked him if he would be able to do the job. Checked it out, and gave his price.

Don did an amazing job. He came on time, got the job done quickly, and cleaned up the area. He was very professional and didn't charge an arm and a leg. We would highly recommend Tip Top Tree Service!
Description of Work: We had a huge poplar tree removed from our backyard. Don assured us he could do the job without the use of a crane. All the other companies that came to give an estimate said they had to use a crane and wanted to charge a lot more for their services.

After the June 2012 derecho, we had a tree limb the size of a small tree (~8and quot; diameter at base) fall from a tall Tulip Poplar behind our house. This limb missed our house and deck but broke all the slats of our wooden fence. This caused us to reassess the risk of the two two 90-100 foot tall trees falling on our house or one of our neighbors' houses. We elected to have them removed. Tip Top Tree Service gave us the best price among three bidders, as well as the least disruptive removal approach. (Another bidder even proposed renting a large crane to reach over our two-story house to remove the trees - Yikes!) Tip Top did a fine, quick and effective job, including nice clean up of the amazing amount of wood chips from grinding the stumps below grade. This is the second time we have used Tip Top, and would definitely use them again. They also got a job helping one of our neighbors, and did nice work there, as well. Give them a call!
Description of Work: Removed two large (approx. 90 foot tall) Tulip Poplars that we decided were too much of a risk for falling on our home. He did a very nice job of safely removing the trees, grinding the stumps and removing the associated debris. This also required removing part of our fence for access, which he did very nicely.

They were very prompt and professional. Responded late on a Friday evening, as the remaining portion of a fallen tree was threatening to fall on the house. Removed some branches to make sure the tree was safe overnight. Returned the next morning to remove the entire tree. Gave us an estimate for more work in the future.
Description of Work: Removed a fallen tree and another smaller tree

Don Bridge called us back right away about all the storm damage in the area. He let us know that he might get to us this week. He later called and came out earlier than thought. They trimmed some old cherry trees. They also cleaned up our back yard filled with logs that were around 36 diameter. He made everything into mulch for us (he can dispose of himself but we wanted to keep it). The only thing he doesn't like to do is work on trees that will likely to fall on an electrical lines. He did an amazing job for us at a very reasonable price and he was very honest.
Description of Work: We got hit bad by a storm and had a huge mess to clean up.

I came home yesterday after school. They were clear cutting the house across from my house. You need a permit to cut down trees in our area. I asked if they had a permit, and they got short with me. Then I heard them yelling at my neighbor and chasing him up his yard. Then they started yelling and cussing at me across the street while I was standing outside watching. We called the police and they couldn't do anything about it. I feel unsafe now because they know where I live and they were saying a lot of nasty things to me. I even noticed them cussing a little girl out. This happened 2 days in a row. He blocked the entire road with a machine he had, and he would not move for me until I laid on the horn. On top of cutting down all the trees on my neighbors property they rolled onto my property. I don't want them on my property because I am afraid they will do something to me.
Description of Work: They were doing work on the neighbors yard across the street.

Don Bridge the owner is very responsive but is very busy. It took us several days to get in touch with him because of the volume of business he does. However, it was worth the wait. He gave us an honest evaluation of our problem and a very competitive price(at or below the going rate). He came when he said he would and very quickly and professionally did the work. Although the trees were very dangerous to work on, there was no damage to the workers or to property. The company is licensed (1014 - listed on DNR site as TIP TOP TREE and LAWN SERVICE) and insured (Don provided a copy of his policy). In addition, reviews that I found on the internet indicated that he did a good job of cleaning up; he went far beyond a good job of cleaning up before he left. I could not be more satisfied with the outcome and recommend that, for any type of tree work, you get an estimate from Don. You will not regret it.
Description of Work: Removed three trees. The trees were partially uprooted and were not on the ground but were ready to fall. One tree was over two feet in diameter.
