It was an emergency call on weekday evening as a tree was rooted and leaning toward our neighbor's house. I called several other tree services but they all went straight to vm or said it was past working hours. I called and receptionist said they will call back right away. I received call from Fidel in 15 min and they arrived at our property in an hour. The guys arrived and took down the 20-30 ft pine tree in about 1hr 30. Very professional and friendly guys. The price was on the high side understandably as it was emergency. Will call them again when I need service. Thanks

The project went great. The crew was on time, did a safe job cutting the tree down without damage to the house, roots grounded out and removed and the clean-up was as I expected - a great job. I will use Alraro's Tree "Experts" again to maintain my yard.

Alfaro's tree service did a fantastic job trimming and removing branches. They also made some recommendations for other branches that needed to be trimmed. They were punctual and very professional, and very fair with pricing.

Fidel and his team were wonderful. They were on time and finished on time. Removing a tree from a back yard can leave a lot of mess. However, every leaf and branch was carefully removed and any damage to the grass was repaired. I didn't have to do anything! I will definitely call Fidel if I ever have any future tree issues. He and his team are great!!

They did an excellent job. The team was prompt and hard working and highly professional and very responsive. Alfaro is a very talented and responsible professional and an excellent supervisor of his team, who are all very well-trained and knowledgeable. I will definitely hire him again.
Description of Work: Alfaro Tree Service trimmed the four large trees in my yard. In the front yard, the trimming kept the branches away from the electrical wires and also allowed a better view of my house, which is very nice. The team also cut down several small, half dead trees along my back fence and trimmed the plants in the front. They also completed a massive clean-up of a lot of tree and plant branches and leaves that I had cut down before they arrived.

all work was done to our complete satisfaction. We were pleasantly surprised that they planted grass seed where their equipment had (unavoidably) damaged grass.

They were very professional, timely, and competent! I was concerned because the tree was planted next to the house with gas, cable, and electric lines surrounding the stump. They provided their licensing and insurance. They calmed my fears and did a great job. They took down each limb using rope to ensure I didn't get craters from dropping them. They cleaned up after themselves and though I'm sad to see the magnolia gone, they did an excellent job. I couldn't believe they completed the job in 2 hours! I would hire them again! They also gave me a discount for being an Angie's customer. The price was awesome!

Fidel (the owner) and his team were professional, timely, and overall great communicators. We had some unforeseen issues which the team resolved quickly. We also had some bad weather, so they scheduled around it.
Description of Work: We had a MASSIVE tree that was dying (8 feet+ in diameter), so we needed to get it removed ASAP. Since we had to do this work, we decided to get several stumps ground since they were already here.

We were impressed when Alfaro was even willing to come to our Southern Maryland home from Germantown just to do the free cost estimate. On the morning of the estimate, Alfaro called to let me know how far out he was, and arrived a few minutes earlier than he'd estimated. His team took the tree down a couple of weeks later and took the tree down in a little over an hour, cut it into segments as I requested, and shredded all the branches into the back of their truck. They also ground the stump down. You can't even tell there was ever a tree there.
Description of Work: We had a large (over 30' tall) tree leaning dangerously toward our house. Alfaro's team took it down.

They were on time and completed this amazing task in two days (delayed due to rain), removed the stump, stump chips and covered the area with top soil and reseeded the area. This company expertly cut down this very large tree without causing any damage to our property. They had all the equipment to remove the very large stump and to chip the branches and haul away the massive lower portions of the tree. They were friendly, determined to please and were easy to work with. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. The price was more reasonable than other estimates that I got for the same service.
Description of Work: Alfaro Tree Service removed a large 50 foot red oak tree (October 28, 2016) precariously perched above and only inches from an 8 foot wall and fence on one side and overhanging my house and my neighbors house and fences on the other sides.

Great, 2 men came and started early in morning. They did what the job was in 2 1/2 hours. Mk Alfaro's, the owner outlines the job before hours. They used top quality mulch. I thought the cost for this of mulch was a bit pricey, even if it was a high quality I gave it a B+.

Alfaro's employees are courteous, and hard working and almost unobtrusive! They came and left quietly, and if I didn't look out the window, I'd not know they were there. At the end of every day they left no evidence of their presence except for the progression of the job. From the brick-laying to the dirt being hauled, the top-soil being laid and the grass seed being sprinkled and covered with straw, everything was done as Mr. Alfaro said he would do, and with good workmanship. Yesterday it rained and the system was put to the test. The pipes laid worked as they should and I was overjoyed. A harder test will come when we have a heavier downpour, but Mr. Alfaro promised to make adjustments if things don't work as planned.
Description of Work: I had been looking around for a long time for someone to help with drainage in my back yard. Alfaro's Fidel Alfaro came to inspect the yard, and was very knowledgeable, and helpful. Mr. Alfaro seems to love what he does. He explained very thoroughly what he believed would be the solution to the matter, after going around the yard listening to my grievances and taking notes. he also makes suggestions as to how to improve elsewhere to ensure the whole yard looks good!
