Randy Newton is the owner and he did the actual work. He is from the "old school" line of thought that being in business is to provide a service to his customers and leave them satisfied with a job well done. And that he did that extremely well. He showed up on time to give a quote and discuss exactly what we wanted done. Both my wife and I talked to Randy and told him what the issues were and what we wanted done. There were even some things that he said were not necessary and explained the situation to our understanding. He was very candid about what would have been excessive and we felt he was honest and did not pad his bill. I will recomend Randy Newton, a Certified Arborist, to anyone that needs tree work done. I hold his workmanship in the very highest regard and his personality is just an added extra benefit. His handshake is firm, his smile is genuine, and I got the impression of a person making a living doing what they enjoy, doing it well and not just lining their pockets. Use Newton's Tree Service. It is a very good company to do business with.
Description of Work: Removed a damaged tree, including the roots that were causing damage to the foundation of our house. Also removed 2 large overgrown Junipers. Cleaned up and removed all debris.

Randy responded very promptly to my initial and subsequent inquiries. He came out and gave us a bid and then completed the work in a timely manner. Randy was very pleasant and professional. His price was competitive. We would recommend him to others for this type of work.

I met Randy when he was doing some work for a neighbor a few doors down - I asked him to stop by and give me an estimate on trimming a red maple in my back yard that I believe has never had a professional trimming. Randy quoted $300 and said that he could fit me in within the week. True to his word he called and said he could arrive Monday AM. Randy, the owner - did the work himself as in he climbed my tree- with a helper on the ground. The tree looks great! My neighbors have commented several times how much healthier the tree looks. Randy did a great job, showed up on time, and the price he quoted ($300) was very competitive. I really like that the person I'm paying is the person who
Description of Work: Trimmed a 40 year old Red Maple in my backyard. Trim limbs back off the roof and off the cable wires attached to the house. Ranby did an over-all clean up of the tree to get more light into the center of the tree to keep it healthy. As it turns out there was a ton of old dead wood higher up which is good to get out.

Half of our large maple tree broke off on Saturday of the Labor Day weekend. I called Randy who we had used before and he came out early the next day (Sunday). He is very prompt, professional and obliging. He removed the large branch, trimmed the tree to prevent it happening again and removed a few branches from two more trees. The price seems very high to me, but it was a Sunday, a holiday weekend and an emergency. I was thankful he was able to help me so quickly.
Description of Work: Randy removed a very, very large branch that fell from our 70 year old maple tree and was blocking the street & half of my neighbor's yard. He also trimmed several of the branches still on the tree to prevent this from happening again.

Randy carefully removed a large stump that was located in a difficult position next to existing concrete steps, a driveway and adjacent tree roots. He was timely in providing the quote and the service. And he cleaned up the job site afterwards.

I called Randy for an estimate, and he promptly returned my call and appeared the next day exactly on time for the estimate. He quoted me a price for the removal of a horrible tree I had mostly pruned down to stumps. It was a 40+ yr old Buckthorn tree, which is designated as a restricted noxious weed in Minnesota and is currently illegal to import, sell, or transport them. They are nonnative and crowd out native plants. He also removed another old stump in the same location, as well as 3 bushes that were also problematic, and 2 nearly dead shrubs. Along with the removals, he also ground the stumps, removed other debris, and resurfaced the area so it's now flat and ready to reclaim for new landscaping. Randy completed the work the next day while I was at work, and I was delighted to come home and see the area he transformed. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. He's knowledgeable, courteous, honest, and very professional. I would hire him again in a minute.

Randy returned my call the day I called him. He came over to see the project the next day and provided a competitive bid. He did the work according to our schedule. The work was perfect and everything was cleaned up. He called later to ask if we were satisified and gave us advice on a couple of other things. Absolutely great. We will definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Randy came out on time. He took down a blue spruce and a large branch from a walnut tree, trimmed up a couple other branches, and removed two stumps.

He was very affordable. It was a referral from a neighbor. After I called, he came out and gave an estimate within 24 hours of my calling him. He was a local guy so he was just a few blocks away. We really like to use the locals as much as we can. Within a couple of weeks he came out and did the trimming. I wasn't around when he did it, but it looked clean and he did a great job. I referred him to another neighbor and he has done some landscaping work for her and she has been very happy with him. I didn't use him for landscaping so I guess I can't really say what other things he does. I would definitely use him again if I needed him.
Description of Work: The tree service company came out in July and trimmed up our 25 year-old maple tree prior to construction.

I originally called Newton's to trim the tree off my phone wires. Even though it was buckthorn, I was hoping to save it. It was all I had to shade the back of the house. Randy agreed to that job, but when he began working, he noticed right away that the tree was so ready to fall down that he was afraid of pulling the wires down by mistake. After a consultation and negotiation of price, I agreed to let him remove the tree and what was left of the rotting stump. I appreciated Randy's concern and honesty, and felt they charged me reasonably for the change in plans.
Description of Work: Removed old and dying buckthorn tree from beside my back steps.

He was exceptional to work with. He was able to provide an estimate the first day I called. Furthermore, the price was the lowest of the 5 tree service vendors I called. Many of the other vendors were the ones offering coupons & even despite the coupon, the price came in lower. He returned all calls timely. And the work was done is record time. Great result. Got exceptional value for the $$.
Description of Work: We had Randy Newton remove a big tree/clump/overgrowth from our backyard. It was a cluster of 4 different types of trees. On top of it we had to ensure a neighbors tree 3 to 4 feet away would not be affected.

Great job! He gave an estimate, returned in about a week to complete the work at the estimated price. The priced for removing the larger tree was $175 and he added the small tree for just $25. Randy also disposed of a pile of branches that had accumulated from previous storms at no extra charge and advised us on future work to be done, including free topping of trees by electric company before removal. Very satisfied.

Both jobs went very well, no damage to flowers below or the roof. The large limb was very high but they did a very good job. The stump removal was perfect. Mr. Newton even raked the area smooth. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Mr. Newton came out and gave me an estimate for a large oak stump removal and gave me advice on another tree. He advised not trimming it until fall to avoid dutch elm disease. I had a large broken limb over my house that he gave my name to another company. The referred company came out within two hours and removed the limb and did an excellent job. I was extremely happy with both companies and the results and the prices.

It went well. No problems. He did what we agreed upon, plus hauled away the large slice of a tree that I had in my garage. Clean up was all that I could ask for.
Description of Work: Returned calls in a timely manner. Did the work in the time period we agreed upon. He said he would be here between 9 and 10--arrived at about 9:30. Removed lower brances on maple tree. Tree had never been trimmed and it had a lot of low branches. He removed all of the branches and sticks that were on the ground including a small pile I had by the garage. He also cut a Buckthorn down level to the ground. I had removed it but wasn't able to cut the remaining 1 foot high stump. I also had a large slice of a tree that I had "saved" last year when my neighbors cut down a tree that strattled our property line (so that they could put an addition on their house). The slice was too heavy for me to move and too large, about 30" in diameter and 6" thick. I asked if he could also take that and he did. No extra charge. He is a hard worker and pleasant to work with.

RANDY CAME BY IMMEDIATELY AND CUT DOWN THE LILACS. HE CAME BACK LATER WITH A DITCH WITCH AND GROUND OUT THE STUMPS. IT WAS ALONG A FENCE LINE BUT HE GOT IT ALL. NONE OF IT HAS TRIED TO SPROUT IN THE PAST YEAR, WHICH IS AMAZING FOR A SCRAGGLY LILAC LIKE THIS. RANDY CHIPPED AND REMOVED ALL OF THE LILACS AS WELL AS TWO SMALL SAPLINGS AND A 6 AROUND TREE I CUT DOWN ON MY OWN. MY NEIGHBOR WATCHED THIS HAPPEN WITH ME AND ASKED RANDY TO CUT DOWN AN OVERGROWN ARBORVITAE. RANDY HAD IT CHIPPED UP AND GONE WITHIN A DAY FOR $300. SPEEDY WORK, VERY THOROUGH AND A GOOD PRICE.
Description of Work: REMOVE 3 LARGE LILAC BUSHES AND STUMPS. CHIP AND DISPOSE OF ALL WASTE INCLUDING 3 SMALL TREES I CUT DOWN ON MY OWN EARLIER.
