The job went very well. The crew was very professional with a great work ethic. The cleanup after the work was absolutely fantastic. Other than where the stumps were removed, the lawn was hardly disturbed.
Description of Work: Three 90’ trees removed along with stumps ground. One of the trees was about 15’ from the house with several big limbs hanging over the house..

They are knowledgeable about what they do and professional with good equipment, but not the cheapest you will find, I'm sure. Still, I never felt pressured and in fact, felt he would rather save the tree and keep it up if at all possible, and only cut it down if it was going hollow an in danger of going down on the house. I felt that they were trustworthy and did the work in a timely manner and for the exact amount as the estimate.
Description of Work: Cut a downed limb as part of an insurance claim, then I had them evaluate other trees in my backyard (there are many) and then return in the winter to cut down two of them that were hollow and trim up one other.

It seemed to go well. We won't know if the treatment worked but that won't really be an issue with Urban Foresters. They did their job professionally, on time, and no problems. We'll call them again in two years. Nice people to do business with. Good job.
Description of Work: Treated 2 ash trees to control Emerald Ash Borer. Note: the cost includes MN Sales Tax.

It went well despite it was raining on and off the day. They were on time, finished the job in one day. I felt reasonably priced. I have used their services in the past years to cut down large trees.
Description of Work: I had 1 large tree removed a Linder tree pruned and broken limbs ans sprouts removed from other trees. As well as the stump ground on the tree that was cut down.

The job went perfect; they have this wonderful machine they bring in to reach the tallest parts of the tree but it does not wreck your lawn or driveway. Our tree covers 1/2 the neighbors yard too. They made sure we had permission from the neighbors to be in the their yard as well and the neighbors were impressed with their equipment and expertise as well. I have used them for years and always had a good experience.
Description of Work: They trimmed a HUGE silver maple tree in the back yard and our Japanese lilac tree in the front yard.

Bill and his guys did a fantastic job! They were very consciencous about my property. The clean up was superb. I thought his price was great for all he did. Bill & his crew were very kind & got the job done quick. Thanks guys!!! UPDATE: BILL & his crew came back & did more tree trimming on 2 large trees & did a fantastic job!!! He pointed out one was more diseased than I thought & trimmed up more so I wouldn't have to pay more to have him return again next year, or limbs crash down in a storm. As usual, Bill & his crew cleaned up so good you couldn't even tell they were there other than the trees were trimmed. It's such a relief to go out & find you don't have to clean up after someone who was working. Bill is a class act!!!

I have used Bill and the crew at Urban Foresters for 11 years. The whole experience EVERY time has been top-notch. I have a wooded lot with mature trees so Bill comes in and looks at my trees and determines what the priorities should be each year. He does a great job of spotting what needs to be done. The trees always look great. He will always take time to explain to me why he is going to do what he does, even if my original idea is different. He explains what the tree needs and how to keep it looking balanced and in proportion. I have had both small work done and major work done. Each time they are careful as they work, adhere to safety standards and clean up after themselves. The spider they use is a fabulous piece of equipment that lets them get right up where they need to go with no damage to my lawn. I will continue to use them in the years to come!

After using several other services over the last 20 years, I came across Urban Foresters 3 years ago. I have a large Ash tree in my front yard that needs regular maintenance. Bill comes out and gives detailed explanations of all the trees, not just the ones you want him to work on. He has the best equipment, the best office staff (they always keep in touch and return calls), and they do an amazing job caring for my trees! Do yourselves a favor: don't use those big firms that spend your money on advertising. Use this service, you will not be disappointed.

I've used Urban Foresters before, and I've always been satisfied with their work. The price is reasonable, the trees look good when they're done, and they do a good job cleaning up. They're also sensitive to my needs (i.e. I don't want to spend too much on a few of my trees that probably won't last too much longer). I will definitely continue to use them for future work.
Description of Work: Urban Foresters performed some maintenance in my yard. They pruned all of my trees, raised the crown on several trees, removed a few large broken limbs, etc.

Bill came over and taught me a lot about taking care of the oaks in my yard, then gave me an estimate that was right on. His crew was able to do the work a couple weeks later. They did a nice job, the trees look better than they ever have, and everything was cleaned up well.

Bill came out and consulted with us, in depth, on what we should do with our trees and what he could do. He gave us his opinions and listened to what we wanted to accomplish. He and his crew arrived on time, completed the work in a very professional manner, and cleaned everything up. During the trimming, Bill let us know what was happening and what the schedule was. We were very pleased, appreciative of his knowledge of trees and will use them again.

They trimmed my trees and bushes. They are capable and seem to give good advice. They know what they are doing. I have not compared the price so I don’t know if it is reasonable. I have used them several times before.

Bill came out to give me an estimate in the evening. He spent a lot of time walking me through what needed to be done, which I appreciated. I ultimately chose him because his bid was much more detailed and easier to understand than the others I got. I also felt like I could trust him. His crew worked about a day and a half on the job. They did some of the trimming in the trees with ropes, and some with a cherry-picker on tracks that he drove into my back yard after taking down my fence. They did a great job cleaning up, and did almost no damage to my lawn. Bill also coordinated with Excel Energy, since they needed to drop the utility lines to take down my trees. After the job was done, Bill gave me some advice on how I could try to save one of my other large trees which is looking a little weak. Overall, an excellent experience and I would definitely use Urban Foresters again.
Description of Work: Trimmed four big trees (spruce, ash, locust), put a bolt through a smaller mountain ash, and removed three large pine trees. Stump-grinding was included in the price, but was sub-contracted out.

He completed the work very professionally and dealt with all tenants very well. The work was done in the winter and was cleaned up as best possible with snow on the ground. Then at no extra charge he came back in the spring and cleaned up the bark and branches that could not be cleared during the winter. He was friendly and professional throughout the work. We will be using him again when next we do our tree trimming!
Description of Work: Bill submitted a very complete and detailed bid for the services needed for trimming the trees in our town home complex comprised of a block's worth of homes, 9 duplexes. The work entailed course pruning several of the trees, removing four dead ones, clearing branches from overhanging the buildings and balancing the shapes of the trees. His bid was very detailed and competitive and much lower than some of the others.

The guys showed up the morning they scheduled and did the work we talked about. Bill discussed the work with us and oversaw the team. After they finished, they cleaned up and removed all the cut branches and foliage. They have a great philosophy which balances necessary trimming with a respect for the beauty and life of the trees.
