Not much to say other than, they would not give us the time of day. No call backs. No returning of messages. Like many services providers near by, they may be enjoying a glut of business. So for them I hope it's worth it. When and if the economy shakes up. it's businesses like this I'll remember who seeming had no need for a retail client when we wanted to do business with them. After attempting to work with them, many weeks before Christmas, to not have even been able to speak to a person there is a sad example of an incompetent business, prospering more our of liuck than they are proving themselves to perspective clients. That's my opinion.

Very, very good. They are excellent people to have. The cost is just the same as anyone else around. Quality is good too. I don't like grading that way, other than saying they do a very good job. They are one of only two or three in the neighborhood that do this kind of work. I've never had experience with anybody else. I've had them for years.

The workers showed up on time and were very courteous and knowledgeable. They went the extra yard when I asked that one tree be cut back a bit more. They also did a good job cleaning up all the debris. I'd definitely work with them again.

Do be specific about which trees need to be removed
Description of Work: Two gentlemen arrived at 7:45am. They took down a very large maple tree and three oak trees. They left the logs in out of the way places and removed all the brush, even some that had nothing to do with their job. They were done by 3pm, were very polite and professional and I highly recommend this company. I think the names of the gentlemen were West and Sterling, very, very nice folks.

We use Lucas Tree Experts every year. They are good. It's a pretty big company. The state even uses them on the highways. They don't just walk in with a little bottle and spray. They back a truck into the driveway with a huge fan on it and they blast probably about 10 feet into the forest behind our house. They mark the lawns and they do walk around with a canister and do the perimeter as well so they are real thorough and real good about it. They call before they come so we can be prepared for them. I have had other people come in and offer but as far as the tree service, they are pretty consistent. I think they charged us $45 or $50 to do the whole yard. The price range is very reasonable. What they do is they hit a neighborhood and pull in from one driveway to another. They called us today about spraying for mosquitoes and I have got to call them back to set it up.
Description of Work: Lucas Tree Experts came out and sprayed for mosquitoes last summer.

Wow!!! A hard days work and these guys made it look simple, clean, and easy. They know their stuff!
Description of Work: This is the 3rd time I have used Lucas Tree Experts. Starting from when I started dealing with my Consulting Arborist (Jon) until the completion of the job, these guys are the pros. I did have lower quotes provided but after talking with people around me, you get what you pay for. The 5 trees I needed taken down were near high power lines. These guys came in, took them down, cleaned up, and talked me through the entire project. The service was outstanding. A great job Duncan and Jared! Thanks for all the hard work!!

They took the trees down and they were great. I would recommend them anytime. They wanted to come back to grind the stumps, but it would have been the same amount as taking the trees down and I couldn't afford that.

The service was excellent and I will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Lucas Tree Experts to help fertilize and treat 3 fifteen year old trees that we were going to use from a disease. They also planted a new tree in place of another tree that we actually did lose from the disease. They assisted us in diagnosing problems with other trees and did not charge us for that.

Had grub issue on front lawn last year and my regular landscaper does not do lawn treatment. Called Lucas and they applied treatment. They proposed yearly service for fertilizer and I opted for the organic treatment. This year, as a repeat customer, they do have discounts if you sign up early. They just came 2x this week for the organic fertilizer and then the pre-emergent grub application. They are always professional. A number of people this week have complimented me on my lawn.
Description of Work: Above price is for yearly service- lawn fertilization (organic) and treatment for grubs. This is my 2nd year with Lucas. Lawn looks great and grub issue appears to have been addressed.
