Description of Work: I had whitney tree service come by and give me an estimate for clearing small,brushy type removal. He was very educational and was honest saying that I did not need to hire an aborist to do this job because there was not any climbing of trees involved. Honesty is the foundation of a successful business. I would call again before anyother. highly recommend

I'm very pleased to have done business with Whitney Tree Service. They know their stuf and then some. It took a while to get out here after a rain cancellation but worth the wait. Ed and his assistant couldn't have been any nicer or more accommodating and jumped right into the work. They completed the job in a lightning three hours and removed and cleaned everything - and I mean everything. It was worth every penny and we were pleased to have them here. They'll hear from me again.
Description of Work: Removed four Ash trees in front and rear of house. Removed Box Elder. Trimmed and topped Silver and Norway maples around property.

Description of Work: They re-graded my backyard, put lots of loam down and seeded it. Well done. Plus they cleaned out the gully behind my fence and planted really nice bushes to block the view behind. Finally they put in a brick front walk that looks wonderful!

Whitney Tree Service and their tree and landscaping crews were a pleasure to work with. They not only performed all the services agreed to without any incidents or back-and-forths, they did it all with promptness, professionalism, and care. Everything came out far better than we could have expected. A wonderful experience.

The three man team were on time, very personable and talked with me before they started to make sure they were doing exactly what we wanted. Everything was shredded and hauled away. They raked the lawns where they worked taking up a lot of twigs, etc. which fell during the winter. They even cleaned up the street from their chipping machine.
Description of Work: We've been using Whitney's since before there was an Angie's List. This time they pruned all the large branches on the lower parts of the trees out front and both sides of the house to let in more light.

I ended up going with another provider only because they got their estimate back faster and could do it two days later. By the time I got Whitney's estimate I had already had the work done. Their estimate was pretty close to what I paid for having the work done. I would recommend their services based on estimate only as I did not have them do any physical tree work for me.
Description of Work: Came out to the location and wrote up an estimate.

I hired Whitney after the first tree service left the work incomplete and my yard a complete mess. Whitney came in grounded a stump, cut trees, and completed the clean up. Their work was really good and they cleaned up wonderfully. I would use them again.

This was a very professional company to work with. They brought arborists who did an evaluation of the property to determine how to trim and cut the trees to allow more sunlight to get to the ones that were staying in our yard.
Description of Work: They removed 4 large trees from our yard. They ground the limbs and stumps for mulch and cut up the trees for firewood.

Signed and mailed estimate after a site visit and discussion with us the homeowners. Did not call with date they would be coming. Showed up early morning. Trampled and destroyed strawberry patch when it could have been avoided. Threw large logs onto shrubbery and small trees killing them. Left wood on lawn instead of placing in woods as requested in estimate. Did not grind stumps as requested in part of written estimate and then charged us full price instead of winter rate. Very disappointed and would not recommend.
Description of Work: Estimate for removal of 3 large oaks from rear of yard at Winter rate. Cut into 18" manageable pieces 18" so we can chop, split and use for firewood. Take away brush.
