Very well!
Description of Work: I needed to have a ***** Willow bush rejuvenated, but know one knew what I wanted until I called Urban Tree Specialists. They came out, told me what should be done, how much it would cost, then came back when it was time to do the work. They did a great job, will definitely use their service again!

Description of Work: Nicholas Goergen came out 3.26.15 to give bid to cut down three dead trees. Very nice & gave verbal bid on spot. I was delighted I could afford the service so agreed to move forward. Nicholas sent email w/confirmation of services & cost w/ note he would schedule and contact me. 5.31.15 sent Nicholas email to inquire if we had been overlooked and if he was still planning to come. No response whatsoever. Very disappointing and unprofessional to leave clients hanging; a simple reponse is not too much to expect.

Description of Work: We had a very large tree in our backyard that needed to come down. Because of the size and location of our lot, it was going to be a tricky job and we knew it would be expensive. We also had a second tree that just needed to be trimmed. They bid the job at the same price as another company but they had a much more clear plan that was going to be better for us for several reasons and so we went with Urban Tree. They were very professional and checked in with me before beginning work each day and at the end of the day (it was a two day job). This was nice and allowed me to ask any questions or express any concerns I had. They had to bring in a crane for the job and actually lift pieces of the tree up and over the house. While this was a little nerve wracking, I could see how good these guys were and how well they communicated with each other to be sure it all was done well. I have no complaints at all. They did an awesome job cleaning up after themselves and being sure not to damage anything. I will be using these guys again and would recommend them to anyone. And don't be scared by the price I paid-this was a highly unusual situation and chances are you won't have to pay nearly as much for your work!

The owner from Urban Tree Specialists Company came out to do an estimate for the pruning job. However, he noticed that there was a tree branch that needed to be removed. He dealt with it immediately while he was there to give me an estimate. I thought that was great. I had two other companies here and neither one of them did so. The workers that came out for the pruning job were great. They were really professional and responsive. They were serious about what they were doing.
Description of Work: I used Urban Tree Specialists Company in February to get a few trees pruned.

Bret Cleveland the owner came and inspected the trees and told me what he recommended. He explained everything very clearly. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He then provided a written estimate. (The final charge was exactly as estimated.). Some time passed before he could schedule the work. The company is located in Parkville, MO.. As such, many of their customers are in the northern part of the KC area. However, there was no critical need and he kept me informed.
Description of Work: Urban tree did maintenance pruning as well as girdling root inspection and correction as needed on 10 trees. They also removed one tree and ground down the stump deep and wide so another tree could be plated in the spot. In a subsequent visit they did deep root fertilization for the trees. The trees had not been trimmed in 8 years and needed extensive work. They did an excellent job. I especially appreciated that they did not recommend coming back every year as some companies do. Such work is necessary only every few years or as needed if there is a problem, like a limb with potential for slitting..

They did a good job in cutting the sick tree down. I had a tree specialist look at the tree, but since it was old enough, I had to cut it down. I liked their services and will use the same in future.
Description of Work: I used the services of Urban Tree Specialists to remove an oak tree, in June, 2011.

The owner came and gave us a quote when we were first thinking about trimming the trees on the property and returned a year later when we were ready to get serious. He asked us what our goals were with the trees in regards to privacy and maintenance and then discussed each tree with us before providing an estimate. The work was done in one day by a professional and well organized team that left the property even cleaner than they found it. They cleaned up the entire work area, including any leaves/debris that had fallen on the roof and ground and left us a nice pile of firewood (at our request). They also took steps to protect the ground from any damage from the big equipment they had to use. The men on the team gave us ideas for what we might need to do in the future and communicated with us about our wants through the entire process. They were very interested in preserving the health of our trees even though they needed significant work. We look forward to using them again as the need arises.
Description of Work: We had one large tree and many smaller trees removed from the property. Additionally we had three large trees trimmed and a significant amount of brush removed and trimmed. They also treated the area to prevent re-growth and removed the poison ivy.
