Mac & Son Tree Expert Inc

Mac is great to work with. We requested a quote and had the official number in my email within days. We needed 3 trees down, and he got us into the schedule the next week. He was the fastest to respond and the best priced. His crew worked so quickly. They got to the house at around 8am and were done with all three trees around 12 p.m. Mac inspected the area after and made sure we were comfortable with the work that had been done. Definitely recommend Mac & Sons. He's our go-to for his reliability and price.

I called Mac & Son for a quote on my job. Mac showed up the next day and the job was completed a short time later. Mac & Son did an extraordinary job with removing my tree. They went above and beyond what I asked. His professionalism and expediency to do the job was bar none. I would definitely recommend Mac & Son Tree Expert for any relatable job you have. I was more than satisfied. If there were a "10 star" rating, Mac & Son would be deserving and more.

They provided a quote and they were supposed to start work Saturday and abruptly cancelled the service.

It was great. They let me know that I had to contact the city to get a permit to get the tree taken down, and were very helpful. They arrived on time, removed all trash afterwards and did a great job.

Mr. Mack was very professional and provided a free estimate. His team did a great job good quality work at a reasonable price. I would recommend this company and will use this service again.

Mac and Sons did an excellent job. Mr McMillan is very professional. After cutting down the tree, all debris was removed.

This guy is absolutely great. They sent out a botanist, who inspected the tree. Everything he cut down he hauled away. He did an absolutely great job! Mr. Mac was on top of everything that needed to be done. He was very much aware of his employees, and how they were working. I cannot say enough good things about this company. He was not overly expensive, and gave us an Angie's List discount. This was my first time using this company, and would/have recommended them!

They did an outstanding job. They met my expectation and beyond. Price is very reasonable.

I went with another person that you guys [Angie's List] recommended.

They got back to me within 24 hours. Interacted very well. The quote was detailed and included their license information. I will get another quote if needed.

A large old oak blew down, along our property-line, and before I could get a proposal for removal, my neighbor had the tree removed, leaving maybe 6 ft of the 3'ft diameter stump. I had called Mac because he had done excellent work for me before and I trusted him and his crew. The stump was in a corner, roots under and lifting 3 fences, with a 6-ft diameter, 2-ft hole on the back side. Some rusty old farm-fence was embedded in the stump. "Yes" his crew could take care of it, he said. We tentatively planned for next Monday. I coordinated with all of my neighbors, and contacted another Handyman friend, to remove the old chain link fences, and replace them once the stump was cleared. Proposals were reasonable, and due to forecast rain we rescheduled everybody ahead, for the coming Saturday. My handyman removed most of the fences the day before, leaving one (dog-yard) fence over-night. On Saturday everybody was there early. The last fence was removed as Mac's crew was clearing and chipping the brush. They chainsawed the trunk down to the root base (avoiding the embedded old farm-fence). Then the "Stump Grinder" (an awesome machine) began "eating" the stump. It took a lot of work to grind the stump into chips. The primary operator was very skilled with both the Grinder and a Bobcat front-bucket loader. He worked around the stump, "sawing" deep into the soil to cut deeper roots. Finally the stump core broke free and was out. Using the Bobcat, the root hole was filled and the entire area very carefully graded smooth. They also grubbed-out some Brush roots under one of the removed old fence-lines. While the crew raked the area, another previously left stump was ground out and it's area leveled. After Mac's crew left my Fence guy began replacing the fences. Overall a tough stump removal and clean-up went very well.

After some building demolition work, several adjacent old trees were leaning dangerously, likely to fall. One had fallen and Mac responded within hours, having his crew remove two others the next day -- preventing any further damage. (See a previous review) I then had Mac give me a detailed proposal for some additional routine maintenance trimming. This included removal of dead wood, removal of several unbalanced major limbs, and general clean-out of excess overgrowth. I also had one stump ground and backfilled, and some older brush chipped for removal. His proposal was sufficiently detailed that we could add or delete items if necessary during the work. (Things happen, we know that). Since his proposal was competitive and their previous work good, I issued the go-ahead immediately. For most of the work the crew climbed into the trees, dropping or using safety ropes to carefully lower dangerous limbs to the ground. It was hard skilled work, but well done. We had some limbs previously stacked ready for removal, but decided that we wanted all the chips left for mulch -- no problem. They chipped into the truck and at the end dumped a large pile for us to use. We also decided to keep some of the logs for firewood, cut to size and stacked for drying. No problem. They hauled other logs and heavy limbs away. At completion, Mac and I reviewed the work; and I was satisfied with both work and final cost. Mac was exceptionally responsive, his crew competent, skilled, safe and conscientious and his equipment adequate to the job. I would recommend Mac & Son for emergency or routine maintenance.

They came when expected. The job was done quickly. They did a very professional job. No complaints at all. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again if needed.

After a hard winter and adjacent building demolition, one tree had fallen towards a back fence. We were slowly de-limbing and cleaning it up ourselves. Another tree started showing signs of distress, leaning noticeably towards a neighbor's fence, shed and house. I'd been soliciting proposals for general tree maintenance and clean-up. When Mac returned my phone call, I explained the new situation and he met me on-site 3-hours later that evening. We discussed various options and he have me a proposal to remove 2 adjacent trees and chip our large pile of branches the first tree. I accepted his proposal as fair and reasonable. The next morning at 9:30 a crew from another job arrived and began chipping the brush. Their Climber rigged and began removing the worst limbs from the leaning tree -- now over the fence and shed. They were obviously skilled, safe and knew what they were doing. By Noon the tree was safely cut back from doing any damage. After lunch they fell both adjacent trees, chipping the limbs and hauling off the trunk-wood. They dumped the truck full of chips, which we wanted for our own mulch and ground-cover. I'm thankful for Mac's exceptional response, both immediate inspection and proposal, and his skilled crew's immediate attention to a situation that could have become much worse.

The price was lower than any other estimates I received. However that's not why I chose this company: it was because they responded quickly to my rerequest for an estimate, sent an estimate in a timely fashion as well as completed the job within 2-3 days of confirming it. I never actually met anyone in person as it was all handled over the phone and by email but would absolutely recommend them to friends and neighbors. Will use again if I have other treee issues!

Everything went smoothly, workers arrived on-time and completed work quickly, left the yard clean.

The "owner" brought what seemed to be day workers and gave them instructions. But at some point he left them. Since they couln't or wouldn't talk about the service, I couldn't get specific details about additional or different work I wanted. Another limb fell of the tree during a storm. I'm not sure if it was one that should have been cut off or if the storm did the damage. I think if the owner had examined the tree he may have seen what the workers did not see. The work that they did was okay, but it might have been better if they were supervised.

I had a small oak tree that was leaning into my backyard fence and the roots were protruding out of the ground toward my neighbor's foundation. I reviewed serveral tree removal services from Angie List and sought out additonal services in google. I had used Mac & Son for a prior tree removal service about 10 years ago and I found them to perrform exceptional and timely service; therefore, I was excited to find out that they were still in the tree removal business. Mac & Son estimate came in the middle range of the services I sought for the removal of my tree. The other tree services were only going to cut the stump down low and leave the protruding roots, which had become a safety issue. Mac & Son arranged fo Ms. Utiltiy to mark my property for electric undergroud wiring several days prior to removing the tree, removing the stump, repacking the empty hole and the surround areas with mulch.The contract was clear and precise and there were no hidden cost. The area was so cleaned, no one would suspected a tree was once there. Also, initially I was told that I might have to replace the area of the fence that the tree had grown into; however, to my surprise the Mac & Son crew was able to remove the tree without damaging the fence. If you desire clean, and professional tree service with no hidden cost, then Mac & Son is the tree service.

I have used them twice now. With hurricane Sandy happening they still came under price than everyone else and still did a terrific job. They are always professional, thorough, and efficient. There is not enough things that I can say about them. I would highly recommend their services to others and will continue to do business them.

The service went very well. I contacted three companies and Mac and Sons, provided the best quote for the large stump and a smaller stump. Mac and Son's was very professional. He called to let me know that the crew was running behind and would not arrive at the appointed time. The crew performed the work and left. Mr Mac came out later to inspect the work, and ensure that I was satisfied. I was extremely satisfied with Mac and Son's.

As above. They never showed up to evaluate the work after making an appointment.

It goes very well. He is very good at what he does. He comes out and looks at the situation and lets you know the best option. He is very responsible and cleans up after himself well. I have never had to call him back for any reason. He is very honest.

William came the day after speaking on the phone, to give a free estimate on the removal and stump grind of a Bradford Pear tree in our front lawn. He was going to leave a written estimate at the house if I wasn't home. I happened to be there at the time he arrived. William was very friendly and professional, giving a detailed written estimate. Out of the three estimates I received from different companies, his was in the middle, relative to cost. Had I not found a lower estimate elsewhere, I would have definitely used Mac & Son's services.

They were the lowest priced. They did a good job and took care of everything. I would grade them B on responsiveness, as they had a long turn around time. I would use them in the future.

They did SUCH a great job! In fact, after Mac's crew came in to remove our trees, Mmy husband and I thought they were done. The next day, however, they came back and completely removed our stumps. Our neighbors are amazed at how great our trees were removed. Mac also gave us some advice on how to take care of our lawn, including the places were the trees were, over the fall so that we are all set for next Spring. We would definitely use them again. GREAT work and were definitely willing to work with us on the price. Having obtained several estimates from other vendors, I believe they are one of the best and reasonable tree removal companies in the DC area. Would highy recommend.
