Description of Work: Bob Lester Jr. and his crew did a great job removing dead trees, small saplings, broken branches and some brush from the wooded area of our lot. They also denuded leaves from the vines on many o the trees and pulled many of the vines down. The area looked much better after they spent a day working on it! The entire crew was polite and well trained. Some could even be described as artists!

Description of Work: Mr. lester is very professional in his line of work. His team come out and did the tree removal and cleanup in a very surprisingly quick amount of time. They then returned the following day and ground down the stump. I recommend his services to anyone that has a tree problem. Thank You BoB.

Description of Work: They did a great job of dropping four dead trees. We thought we had five, but Bob confirmed four. He was obviously very honest. He called before showing up and called after the job was done to be sure it was satisfactory. He was recommended by many people in my community in Severna Park.

I sought several estimates for tree removal, pruning and other work. They responded promptly, politely and professionally. I had forgotten to add a request to review or estimate for a third situation and staff nicely telephoned me back to check and confirm all potential work with no pressure but professional throughout.

We are buying a foreclosure. There is a tree that is leaning towards the house and already is touching the roof of the house causing damage to the roof. We had an inspection and got a list of recommendations from the home inspector on contractors he uses. I called Bob on Wedesday for an estimate to remove the tree. Was told by Bob's wife that he would be out on the following Tuesday. Bob calls on Thursday, two days after the date the wife had told me to get directions to the house and says he will fax the estimate to me, does not do text, GPS, or email. His wife calls that Friday and says sorry, we are too far out. She said she could recommend us to someone but we are too far out in Bowie to recommend to. Needless to say that Friday was our storm of the century and the tree fell on the house. Not saying anything about their work, never made it that far, but I would have got someone else out there if I knew they would jerk me around all week. Maybe if they were not a referal or just told us up front they would not take our business, we would not right a review.

I watched them do the work and was very much impressed. They were very careful not to cut too much, too fast. The stumps were removed, and mulch was used to fill the craters left by the removed stumps. Quality work and well planned.
Description of Work: We had four large trees in our front yard. They were in very poor condition. One of them had branches surrounding the phone line to the house, and one of them would easily have fallen across the power line if not properly removed.

They brought in a boom and a mulcher, approx 6 guys, and had the whole job completed in one day. Clean up was fantastic, especially around the driveway. They also dealt with a very difficult neighbor, who originally wouldn't allow them to come through his yard. We were extremely happy with the service. Everyone spoke English and he was fully licensed and insured, unlike other tree service providers who approached us for the job.
Description of Work: They topped and rounded 6 trees and ground a stump.

Mr. Lester kept his original appointment on time. He provided a cost estimate nearly one-half that of another company we liked and had used previously. His crew arrived on time on the scheduled start day and completed the work in less than five hours! A more professional, well-coordinated crew we have never seen. Stump ginding was scheduled for a second day and that crew arrived on time and completed the job with dispatch. To protect the lawn, this company places plywood tracks for its machinery to traverse. Clean up was excellent. We were pleased to note that several neighbors have also used Bob Lester Jr Tree Service.
Description of Work: NOTE: THIS COMPANY NOW DOES BUSINESS AS BOB LESTER JR. TREE SERVICE (410-590-6652). Bob Lester Jr Tree Service removed seven 40-ft pine trees and two 40-ft maple trees and then ground the stumps. We asked that they leave the mulch.

He did everything that he promised. On down side was that when I tried to call, I got an answering machine and had to wait for a call back. They came on a Monday and completed the job on a Wednesday. When I went out to check on them he let me know that they were not going to be able to complete the job in one day. I think the communication could have been better. We would have liked to have been more informed as to the next step in the process. We didn't know if he was coming back the next day when the job wasn't done on the first day. It was a lot of work, and I think the price was fair based on the difficulty of the job. Bob was very professional and knowledgeable when he talked with us about the job.
Description of Work: They took down a tree and we had them stack and leave the wood. They shredded and removed all of the leaves and limbs.

He was timely, polite, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to help. His price was very reasonable. He was so good, I have already referred him to fiends.
Description of Work: I have a lot of trees. He handled the county certificates to take some of those down. He trimmed up others. He is very knowledgeable, and gave great advice for what I needed done and what could wait. He provided some stump removal. They followed up well until the work was completed to my satisfaction. They cleaned up the yard.

Bob Lester promptly called when he realized extenuating circumstance would keep him from being on time for estimate date set. He showed up on time when rescheduled. Crew showed up on time to do the work. The clean up was good. The attitude of everyone was great.
Description of Work: Removed storm-damaged tree. Cut and left wood as requested. Removed storm-damaged limbs on other tree. Trimmed back several trees in severe need of lightening up due to height and proximity to house. Trimmed back maple that was way overgrown for the yard. Ground to below grade several stumps, one from this service and a couple from trees that were previously removed.
