Diagnosis and treatment of the maple trees appears to have been accurate, i.e. manganese deficiency and treatment with manganese. The trees had produced yellowed, sickly-looking leaves for two years and are now green, lush and they appear to be healthy. The trimming of the trees and bushes was satisfactory. (I will definitely consider using this company again in the near future for additional tree and bush trimming.) The company provided prompt and courteous service. Also, when I called with concerns, my concerns were addressed timely and professionally.
Description of Work: Diagnosed disease and provided treatment for two red maple trees. Trimmed two additional trees and a bush.

They are doing a good job. The downside was, they did not notify us when they sprayed which was stated in the contract that we signed given the proximity of the tree to our neighbor’s house. They did not leave any notifications for our neighbors that they will come.
Description of Work: I used the services of Smith Tree & Landscape Service. We had them come last autumn to evaluate a tree in our yard and they did place fungus treatment on the tree recently. They will do a second treatment after a month.

We have used Smith Tree & Landscape since 2004. We initially used them to trim a large number of trees. We use them on an annual basis to treat any diseased trees. They are competent, friendly, on time, competitively priced, and do what they say they will do when they say they will do it. We would recommend them unconditionally.

They have always been dependable and come out to answer questions if I need it. Very professional and responsive to my needs. They are a little expensive on some services, I think, but when it comes to the health of a tree, it's worth it to have someone I trust who won't prescribe more than is needed as I think some lawn services mights do. I highly recommend them. I have been using them for many years.
Description of Work: they have been treating 2 everygreen trees 2 times a year for a disease "needle cast" for many years. I have also used them for advice about whether to remove trees and they were very helpful.. I trust their advice and have empolyed other to remove the tree they suggested needing removing because I could get it done cheaper. I payed ahead to save 10% early in the year and don't remember the price to treat 2 big trees twice--a little over $200, I think.They

We have had several experiences with Smiths Tree and Landscape and they have all been positive. They have an arborist named Jeff who has consulted with us about our trees and has overseen tree trimming for us. Also he has arranged to feed or spray trees that needed help. He is very accessible and allows us to ask as many questions as we want. He offers suggestions and recommendations, and tells us what Smiths can do, but there is no hard sell. They have other people who sell trees and shrubs who are also helpful. Sometimes we have called and ordered specific plants that we want for a specific place, but in our most recent encounter, we asked their landscaper to design a plan for us. She then met with us to talk about it and revised it according to our response. Two weeks later her staff came to plant the things we had agreed on. It rained that day and they worked all day in the rain. They checked with us regularly about the placements to make sure it was how we wanted it. The quality of the plants we have purchased has ALWAYS been top notch. I suspect Smiths is more expensive than other landscape services but have never done comparison shopping. I like them because I know I won't get a hard sell, I know the plants will be high quality, and I know the workmanship will be first rate as well. All the people we have interacted with have been courteous and thoughtful in their interactions with us as well as neat and thorough in the work itself.
Description of Work: Designed a new landscape for one corner of the yard, shared the design, revised it based on our feedback. Then bought the trees and shrubs and planted them for us.

They dug out 4 dying trees on my property line, then created an edged bed that is approximately 50' long and 6' wide, and then planted all the above trees, shrubs and plants. Then they finished the bed with a layer of mulch. They came when they said they would. The landscape designer was here to make sure the trees were planted in key places. Two hard-working men then completed the work in 95+ degree heat. The result looks great! It provides a lovely barrier between my property and a close-by neighbor. It was quite expensive but I love the outcome!
Description of Work: Created a landscape design and presented it to me. I asked for a few changes and they were made. They planted five trees (7-10' tall), 12 shrubs, 7 tall grasses, 5 rose bushes and 3 flowering perennial plants.

The initial consultation with Dana sold me immediately. He was knowledgeable and provided me with a lot of advice and information. He came up with a treatment plan and provided me with options regarding "green" and normal products and explained what the advantages and disadvantages would be. The workers that came to actually perform the treatment were friendly, professional, thorough, and fast. When I had some questions about the aeration results, they sent a worker back to check to make sure everything was OK?at no cost! Yes, they're more expensive than other providers in the area, but I believe in this case you get what you pay for. Decades of experience in the area and the latest research and techniques in lawn care. I was extremely impressed. I should probably mention that the lawn is looking better every day, too. :)
Description of Work: Slit-seeded over bare patches in grass, aerated lawn, treated moss, lawns, and flower beds.

This company has always provided excellent work and this job was no different. The review included answering any questions I had. They were very honest about the prognosis of one of the trees and my attempt to save it. The men arrived on time and explained what they would be doing. At one point, they needed to gain access to one tree via my neighbors drive. They were very respectful and patient as I went to ask my neighbors approval.Before they left, they explained that the stump removal required a different unit and would be done within the next few days. That is exactly what happened. I returned home one day and found the stump was gone and the area was level and clean as could be. It's really nice to be able to trust that the job will be done as explained and that the estimated cost will be equal to or less than the final cost.
Description of Work: Trimming of one large tree and removal of another large tree between two homes and intertwined in home electrical/power lines. This included stump removal. Removed all debris and left the area level and clean.

They called me after 10 days of my initial request for an estimate, and only after I called them twice.So far so good (!), this is where it gets surreal. The person who called (who has been with the company for 15 years, and I think owns the business) wanted to know the names and quotes of all the other service providers I had called for this job! His reason: he practices "honest" business, and would not quote unless I am in market for "good or higher-grade" services. He claimed that he chooses the customers, and not the other way around! I had gotten estimates from other companies (rated equally high on Angie's List) for the same job; and was unwilling to share them. Eventually, he declined to provide an estimate as the company had already made a bad impression on me (calling late and then making strange demands). I'm not sure if this is a new marketing technique or a standard practice with this company, I found it extremely annoying. I'll never ever use or recommend them.
Description of Work: I had asked for an estimate on tree services: pruning, cutting, cleaning etc. The response was late, and then they wanted to know the names and quotes of the other companies I had gotten estimates from for this job! Eventually they declined to give an estimate.

Two man crew was prompt, inspected the tree and determined the best spot to install cable brace and how to prune and shape the tree. They prunned and shaped, and installed the cable brace. The tree looks much better. They cleaned up all debris, raked the yard, chipped all the debris and cleaned the drive when done. They did a fantantic job...and in very hot conditions. I was very pleased with the job and so glad I called the company!

The arborist arrived on the scheduled date. He was knowledgeable and thorough. He looked at my ailing crabapple in the front yard and suggested things I could do myself right away. Then he suggested having it sprayed next spring. He also looked at a couple redbuds in my back yard that are not as healthy as they used to be. He suggested fertilizing in the fall. About a week later, I received his complete written assessment and estimated costs in the mail. The prices were very reasonable. There was no charge for his diagnosis. I will certainly be using them in the future.

I called to get a quote for having some stumps removed. This company did not do stump removal but they gave me the name of someone who does and he was EXCELLENT! I was very impressed with their willingness to help even though they were not receiving my business. They even asked me to call back if I had a hard time getting a hold of the person they recommended. A class act.

Response from Smith Tree & Landscape Service Inc
We were sorry to hear of Member’s experience with one of our best representatives. May is an especially hectic month in the landscape business, and we often find ourselves juggling an extraordinary number of balls. Sometimes one gets dropped. We try to set our clients expectations properly. While we cannot always get proposals out within days, we try always to make sure that when we say something is going to happen, that we deliver on that promise. If we failed in that basic promise, we offer our apology. We do strive to provide the highest level of service and responsiveness. We do not always reach that goal.
