Extremely well!
Description of Work: Trimmed trees. We used his expertise as a qualified arborist to trim our trees appropriately without damage to the trees systems. He is very professional and conscientiously does the job in a way that does not damage you lawn or trees. He doesn't spike the trees by climbing with spikes. I'm not sure that the date of service I gave is correct is all.

Description of Work: We always use them for our tree trimming. We have several large trees, some very near the house and they cut them preserving the form and improving the overall health of the trees. They also leave the yard nice and clean.

Overall, a job very well done.
Description of Work: A big wind storm split a very mature box elder tree which knocked down an ash tree. Bill came out and gave a quote on Father's Day and performed the work the following day. The job was done promptly, professionally and clean-up was great.

It went even better than expected.
Description of Work: After a major storm devastated our neighborhood, Bill and his crew came the next day to rescue us from a blocked driveway and front door. He and his crew worked hard for several days to remove uprooted, fallen and badly damaged trees and haul them off, cleaning up the yard when finished. When a credit card mix up occurred later, Diane was most helpful in its resolution. Urban Foresters is THE BEST!

Bill is a certified arborist and was present through much of the work, performing a substantial amount himself. They paid special attention to the aesthetics of the trees and were meticulous about cleanup. I would definitely hire them again!
Description of Work: Bill and two members of his crew trimmed three trees, including an old blue spruce, and advised me not to trim another one. They removed dead branches, ones overhanging wires, and ones which could become problems in the future due to health or location.

The did a great job. I came home from work and it was like the tree had been vaporized. The yard was clean and undamaged. The only thing left was the stump which they removed a couple of days later right on schedule. They did all this with only access through our back 36" gate. Other companies said we'd have to take down a section of our fence. We got our quote a year ago and were delayed in having it done because of our travel plans. The price went up by about $40.

I used this company on a recommendation from another Angie's List tree trimmer I called who was not available. Because this company was also listed on Angie's list, I called them. The person who answered the phone was very friendly and the response time for the estimate was very good. Scheduling took place right away with a one week delay due to rain. The crew was efficient, friendly, and the results are excellent.
Description of Work: Provided estimate for full yard trimming and then were hired to trim trees and bushes, and to remove buck-thorn and a dead bush. They are also returning this winter to complete work on two Oak trees (thin, prune).

Was informed that they currently do not remove trees with Dutch elm. Was confused on why a company would turn away what likely would be a $1000+ job, plus future business... but I would imagine the company has their reasons. My responses below reflect the fact that my only contact with the company was the receptionist. The receptionist was pleasant on the phone... though I had some difficult in getting through (lines were busy). My B rating for overall experience is primarily because of my disappointment the company doesn't remove trees with Dutch elm. I indicated that I wouldn't hire this company for future jobs solely because I want a tree service company that can handle all my needs.
Description of Work: Called for a quote on removal of an American elm with Dutch elm disease.

Great experience working with this company. My call for an estimate was returned immediately; the estimate was done quickly and the work completed in a timely manner. Bill is friendly, knowledgeable, professional and efficient. I had a large section of one tree hanging over a neighbor's fenced yard. Bill removed that limb without disturbing the neighbor or his fence. I'm not sure how; but he did. I was very pleased with the clean up. They did not leave a twig behind, all was ground up and hauled away; that day. EXCELLENT experience.
Description of Work: Removed one tree, pruned many others, cleaned up and removed all debris.

BILL WAS QUICK TO RETURN MY CALL AND TO COME OUT TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE. HE WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND PROFESSIONAL. THE CREW PERFORMING THE WORK WAS THOROUGH, POLITE AND PROFESSIONAL. THEY ARRIVED A LITTLE LATER THAN I HAD ANTICIPATED, BUT THEY WERE EFFICIENT AND FINISHED THE WORK IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. PRICES WERE A LITTLE HIGHER THAN I PREFERRED, BUT SERVICE AND RESULTS WERE EXCELLENT.
