Branch and Bough Tree Service and Landscape Care

I can't say enough about Andy and his crew! They were professional, completed when promised, cleanup was exemplary, and were the low bid! Totally blown away by their work! It was snowing and cold when they were taking down the large silver maple close to both our house and the neighbors. With his crew of 5-6 (including women I might add :) , they cabled and block and tackled all the tree branches down without touching either roof or nearby trees. They even contacted me prior to the date to make sure I spoke with the neighbors to alert them of the scheduled work. Andy spoke with the neighbor the day of the work to make sure they had access to leave amidst all the equipment if need be. Would definitely recommend his services!

Andy and his team were very professional, responsive, and great to work with. They do very nice work.

Better than estimated. After inspection and discussions with Andy and a consulting arborist, we chose to save the tree. The original remedy for bracing included one rod and two cables to hold the tree together during windy conditions so it would not split apart and fall on our home. When Andy climbed into the tree's canopy, he had a different perspective and chose to install just one dynamic cable brace. Professional advice and work. Tree saved and braced. Cost less than estimated. We're grateful and satisfied.

Great job by Andy and his team. Fast, efficient and complete clean up of area.

Branch and Bough did an excellent job pruning our Silver Maple and removing our Burning Bush. First, I was very impressed with Andy's knowledge when he came out to give his estimate. He answered every question and did not oversell. When it came time to having the work done, we were amazed with how well the job was done along with the clean up. We were really happy with their work and highly recommend them.

Great service, set up appointment in July and Andy recommended waiting until trees were dormant to trim. We weren't in a rush, so service was performed in Sept.

The crew was excellent. They told me what they were going to do and took the time to answer my questions about other work that I want done. The clean up was phenomenal.

Horribly. Scheduling was very difficult. I insisted that I wanted to be here when they did the work. I would get angry emails from the owner that were always posted after 11:00 p.m. saying the times I suggested (after 3:00 p.m. when I could get home from work) were impossible and rude to his employees. We finally agreed upon a time, but they still came earlier in the day when I was gone. When I called and spoke to the owner, he "mansplained" me and said I was lying, I had never asked to be on the property when they were doing the tree work. He cut me off, talked over me, and told me I was wrong. We finally decided he could come and show me how they'd made the cuts (what I had wanted to see), but he never fulfilled that promise. I did pay my bill, as the work was done and done fairly well, but I will never hire this sexist man again.

Any Hovland is very knowledgeable, and describes and explains in a clear and understandable way. He made appropriate and useful suggestions. It was easy to decide both what I wanted done and what didn't need to be done. The work was completed professionally by his staff, on schedule, and with excellent clean-up. The result is beautiful, and exactly what I wanted. He gave clear instructions for watering/maintenance. It was somewhat difficult to contact him, but email works eventually--and the result well worth any inconvenience.

I contacted Branch and Bough on 4/17 for an estimate to remove a large maple tree. The person I spoke to was professional and said they would get me something in a couple weeks. I had not heard anything from them and followed up on 5/10. I spoke to the same person and she apologized and said she would make sure the foreman went out and took a look and I would have something by the end of the week. As of today, 5/15, I have heard nothing. To confirm, I have had no work performed by this company and so I can't comment on that; however, the lack of follow up and communication is a red flag and I won't be hiring them. I'm disappointed, the reviews on Angie's List were good. This would have been a few thousand dollars of work for them and hearing nothing - not even "Sorry, we're really busy, we're working on your request" - is unacceptable.

Wonderful. Andy even left us a stack of firewood. I had a bunch of plants around the base of the tree. I figured I would lose those, not a problem, if I really cared I could have moved them myself. Lo and behold, Andy dug them out and put them back right where the tree was. I say that's above and beyond. And no mess was left, nothing. I wish I had more trees, I'd hire them again.

They were professional, very knowledgeable about the trees, and able to work around my schedule.

It went excellently! The work was delayed until winter. If oak trees are pruned in summer, the sap will attract a certain insect from up to 4 miles away and that insect can kill the oak tree. Hence, always in winter.

They didn't have to bring in any equipment which we liked. It took them 2 to 3 hours. They did a good job cleaning up. They seem to know a lot about trees and landscaping.

It was refreshing to work with someone so passionate and knowledgeable. Aside from the obvious improved look of our trees, you would have never known that work was done. Clean up was the best I have EVER experienced.

Nothing....They do not answer phone call messages not email.

All the people I dealt with were very friendly and responsive to my questions. The estimator had some suggestions about further work that might be a good idea in the future, but wasn't pushy about it at all. He just gave me the lowdown and moved on to the next thing. The day of the trimming the crew pulled up right on time. The crew leader talked to me to make sure we were on the same page about the work that was being done and then got right to work. I was surprised, both by how quickly the job was done and that they didn't use any chainsaws. Everything was done with muscle power. I expected to have the sound of chainsaws all morning but they were very quiet. The work they did was very good and the price was reasonable - not the cheapest, but on the low end of the 4 quotes I got. I would definitely recommend Branch and Bough Tree Service to anyone needing to have some tree work done.

It went perfectly. . . as advertised and promised.

They made it look easy. They got to our job in a very timely way, cleaned up everything they said they would, and were a better price.

Andy came out to do a free estimate initially. I found him very knowledgeable and easy to talk things over and his price for the amount of work was very reasonable. Andy and team did a terrific job; the trimming was artfully done, they were very amenable to feedback from me about taking off a little more on a couple of trees, and cleaned up completely. Overall my husband and I were totally satisfied. We plan to have them back to do some spring trimming and re-bricking of our patio as well.

A difficult job to be sure, but still pretty expensive, especially since work was done on the same tree 10 months before for $300.00. The tree now looks kind of ragged at top, but maybe that is how it had to be.

Put a call in- they would get back to me. They were busy.

Performed work as arranged. Very good at explaining treatment to us.

Andy performed work several years ago when it lost a major limb. At the time, he said that the tree would likely die b/c of the extent of the damage and the type of tree, but that we might get several more years from it. We elected to keep the tree and 3 years later, the tree needed to be removed because the trunk split. The work was performed over 2 days and went as expected. Andy promptly communicated about the progress and status of the tree. The cost was reasonable given that the tree was 40 ft tall. Andy just finished in the stump grinding and except for the lack of grass, you can't tell that there was a tree there just a few months ago.

They were very professional, wonderful to work with, and did exactly what we expected. They worked in a few last minute requests, and were careful with other parts of our property to avoid damage.
