About us

Outdoor Specialties has been locally and operated since 1990. Trees are an important part of a landscape. Maintaining trees can prolong the life of the tree and add value to a property. Outdoor Specialties’ offers tree trimming, tree repair, tree spaying, stump removal and full tree removal of any residential or commercial landscape. Our company offers well trained employees and we are fully licensed and insured. Outdoor Specialties’ tree trimming is offered for dead limbs or purely for shape and aesthetics. Tree trimming includes a full clean up of debris and limbs removed. Tree trimming is offered year round. Tree repair can be attempted in some situations by cabling or staking a tree to try and correct damage or leaning. Outdoor Specialties’ offers full tree removal in the event of dead, diseased or unwanted trees. Our company will remove the tree, all debris and grind out stumps for the full removal. We are able to remove trees in hard to reach areas with a crane service as well. Tree removal is also offered year round. Outdoor Specialties’ also provides emergency tree removal in unforeseen circumstances that deem removal necessary; including, but not limited to, storm damage.

If a provider is too busy or doesn't think his service matches my request, fine. Just take a minute to call and say so and I'll move on. It's unprofessional to advertise free estimates and not respond to requests for information.
Description of Work: More what he failed to do. I used the Angies list message service to request an estimate, got no response. I called and left a voice mail, got no response.

Description of Work: Removed two large silver maple trees from the back yard which required the use of a crane. Did the job in one day and in a very professional manner. They also pruned a neighbor's tree on the same visit. Did a very good clean up following the tree work.

They showed up on time on the arranged day. They spent quite a bit of time shaping and trimming the bushes. I was particularly impressed with what a nice job they did cleaning up afterwards. I do not recall the price, but it was fair and certainly competitive.
Description of Work: The company was working in our neighborhood, and I ask them to stop by and give me and estimate for trimming my overgrown/out of control landscaping. The quote sounded like a fair price so arranged to have them do it

One of the best home improvement projects we've experienced (and we've been through many remodels and landscape projects). What was unique about this was that we worked with Chris, the owner, through all phases. He was on point for the design consultation so really understood what we wanted and then was there performing much of the work or closely supervising during the execution. The project was sequenced perfectly and we always knew what was happening each day. They had all the right equipment and brought in only what was needed for that day's work (including only the boulders or the dirt or pavers that they were currently installing) and then cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day. It was amazing and far exceeded our expectations. Even at the start, I had some worries about the large oaks we were taking out that were up close and hanging over our and our neighbor's house. Their work was flawless and the trees were laid down perfectly and cleanly removed from the property. The price was very fair given all the work that we had done and the quality of work was exceptional. We would highly recommend Chris and his team for any landscaping, boulder work, pavers or tree services - all of which we had done. It was a great experience from start to finish.
Description of Work: Removal of five large trees very close to house, regrading of yard and boulder scaping, new sprinkler system and sod installation, fire pit with paver patio surround.

The team was able to do all work in one day because they had the right equipment and a very good team working together. Very professional. Quality work. They took extra time to make sure they did a great job and did not hit the house or garage with any branches. Clean up was really good.
Description of Work: Removal of four trees and trimming of multiple other trees.

The work was done on time and they left the yard looking great as all branchs and brush were removed without a trace. I have used this company a number of times and they continue to exceed expectations.
