Tree Removal
Description of Work: My initial contact with the office was prompt and positive. He arranged a time to come look at the tree that needed removal at a time when I was not home and agreed to send a bid. A few days later I asked him to also look at a tree that was struggling and provide any suggestions. He kindly agreed to add that onto the quote so I appreciated the flexibility. The team arrived when stated and performed the work seamlessly and as quoted. Great job!

HE CAME OUT A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AND ADVISED US THAT WHILE OUR MAPLE COULD USE SOME WORK (ESTIMATE: $325), THAT WE COULD POSTPONE THAT WORK FOR ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO. I APPRECIATED HIS HONEST, THOROUGH ASSESSMENT AND WILL DEFINITELY GO TO HIM WHEN WE GET THE WORK DONE NEXT YEAR.

HE ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS ON MY INITIAL CALL ABOUT THE TREES AND PROVIDED ADDITIONAL WRITTEN INFORMATION WHEN HE CAME OUT TO EXAMINE THE TREES. HE PROVIDED A WRITTEN ESTIMATE, WHICH INCLUDED A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK TO BE PERFORMED AND THE COST. DUE TO THE COST, I AM NOT HAVING THE WORK PERFORMED AT THIS TIME.

ARBORIST WAS GREAT. PRESENTED A CONVINCING ARGUMENT THAT ONE NEEDS TO USE A CERTIFIED ARBORIST RATHER THAN ANY TREE COMPANY. SEEMED TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF THE TREES, RATHER THAN A QUICK JUDGMENT THAT ALL OF THEM NEEDED TO BE TRIMMED SIGNIFICANTLY.

GEORGE WAS VERY INFORMATIVE ABOUT THE TREES IN THE AREA AND GAVE GREAT SUGGESTIONS FOR KEEPING TREES HEALTHY. THE TEAM CAME OUT AND TOOK SOME LARGE BRANCHES AS WELL AS TRIMMED A HUGE SILVER MAPLE. THEY DID SUCH A GREAT JOB WITH CLEAN UP I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOW THE WORK WAS DONE WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE TREE. I HAD MENTIONED HAVING A COUPLE OF SMALL APPLE TREES TAKEN AT THE SAME TIME WHEN I PICKED A WORK DATE WITH GEORGE (NOT IN THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL/QUOTE). UNFORTUNATELY THEY WERE MISSED AND WHEN I CALLED TO INQUIRE, THE TEAM CAME BACK THAT SAME DAY AND DID ANOTHER GREAT JOB. VERY SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE AND CAN RECOMMEND THEM HIGHLY.

HE SAID TWO BIRCHES WERE DECAYED AND WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED. I SAID I WANTED A 2ND OPINION AND HE HAD NO PROBLEM REFERRING ME TO THE MN SOCIETY OF ARBORICULTURE WEBSITE. SO FAR I DON'T PLAN TO USE THEM TO TRIM OR REMOVE THE TREES BECAUSE I GOT A DIFFERENT OPINION, BUT I FIGURE ARBORICULTURE IS AN ART. THEY SEEMED LIKE A PROFESSIONAL COMPANY. I REFERRED THEM TO A FRIEND AND SHE SEEMED HAPPY WITH THEIR ADVICE AND PRICES AND HAD THE WORK DONE SUCCESSFULLY.

THE ONLY THING IS THAT THEY SET A DAY AND TIME TO DO MY WORK AND THEN A DAY LATER THEY CALLED AND ASKED ME TO CALL GOPHER ONE TO MARK BURIED CABLES AND WATER AND GAS LINES. I FIGURED THAT A TREE SERVICE WOULD HAVE SUGGESTED THIS THE DAY I MADE THE APPOINTMENT OR THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT THEMSELVES. IT DELAYED MY WORK BY TWO DAYS BUT THEY WERE HERE PROMPTLY WHEN THEY SAID AND MAILED A BILL TO ME NOT EXPECTING TO GET PAID THE DAY THEY WERE HERE. IT WAS NICE BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE TO BE AT HOME WHEN THEY CAME.

GEORGE REALLY KNOWS AND HAS A PASSION FOR TREES. HE DID A COMPLETE WALK ABOUT OUR YARD, OFFERING SUGGESTIONS FOR 'DOWN THE ROAD' WORK TO BE DONE. NOT A HIGH PRESSURE SALES PITCH WHATSOEVER FROM HIM. HE LAID OUT REALISTIC TIMELINES FOR US, POINTING OUT HOW LONG WE COULD 'GET BY' BEFORE HAVING TO ADDRESS SOME CONCERN OR ANOTHER. HE HAD A VERY MATTER OF FACT MANNER ABOUT HIM AND HE TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN WHAT WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE AND WHY. HE WAS VERY HONEST WHEN DISCUSSING OUR SICK SILVER MAPLE. HE SHOWED HOW THE TREE HAD BEEN SPLIT IN A STORM SOME TIME BACK AND POINTED OUT THE DISEASED PART OF THE TREE. WE ARE ABSOLUTELY GOING TO RELY ON GEORGE FOR ALL OF OUR 'TREE NEEDS'! WE WERE JUST THRILLED WITH THE SERVICE WE GOT!

GEORGE WAS PROMPT IN PROVIDING ESTIMATES AND TOOK THE TIME TO CALL AND EXPLAIN MY OPTIONS. THE TREE HAD SECTIONS THAT WERE DYING AND I WANTED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE IN REMOVING THE BAD SECTIONS OR REMOVING THE ENTIRE TREE. ONCE I ASKED TO HAVE THE WORK DONE IT WAS 6 WEEKS UNTIL IT WAS COMPLETED. IT REQUIRED 1 FOLLOW UP CALL WHEN THE WORK WAS NOT DONE AFTER THE ORIGINAL TIMING ESTIMATE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL IF I HAD GOTTEN A CALL EXPLAINING I WAS STILL ON THE SCHEDULE.
