These are absolutely professional, caring people. Caring not only about the customer, but about the trees. While we were talking, they told me they will not damage a tree just because the customer wants some drastic action, but will try to find an alternate solution, which I respect. I only needed 7-8 branches pruned to get them off my guttering and roof. Neil and Tim were wonderful to work with, funny, and professional. Made me comfortable to have around, which I unfortunately cannot say about some handymen. When asked their opinion on a tree question, gave it thoughtfully and honestly. They cleaned up everything and even picked up extra sticks from my yard. When I said they didn’t have to, they replied that that was just what they do. I have used Clipper in the past, and you can be sure I will use them in the future.

We contacted Clipper to remove a large oak in a very difficult location. Pete came out and was confident in their ability to get it done. We submitted the paperwork and waited. I called 2 weeks in a row and was told that they sent the paperwork to Ameren and we were waiting on Ameren to schedule. I emailed Pete a week later and didn’t receive a response. I called the office and asked for the status, I was told the admin would have to check. I called the next day and was told a message would be sent to the operations manager. I called the next day and was given the operations managers cell phone. I called and left a message. The next day I got a text from the manager saying Pete would contact me. Pete finally called, over a month after we thought this was going to happen, to tell me they were declining the job. I completely understand if a job cannot be safely performed but waiting a month to inform us of this is not acceptable. We could have been working with other companies to move forward. Pete did contact another company for us and was kind enough to forward our paperwork to them. That company sent me an email and after 3 messages and 3 emails with no response I have decided that they don’t want the job. Again, they were nice enough to try to keep my process moving forward but the lack of any response, especially when they declined the job in the end, is unacceptable.
Description of Work: Need a large oak removed from a difficult spot at a home recently purchased.

We received quotes from multiple companies and Clipper was by far the best priced. This was partly due to the fact they underestimated the time it would take to remove the tree, but in the end they honored the original bid and went above and beyond to get the job done. They were professional, did a great job of cleaning up after themselves, and gave good advice on how to care for the space going forward. I would recommend them going forward.

Description of Work: Removed a 20 foot Spruce tree from my yard. Bid process was straightforward. Pricing was better than competitors. Only problem was with scheduling. It was complicated by weather that caused a change in the original schedule. I repeatedly said that I wanted to be present on the day that the tree was removed, though I got no advanced call. Workers just showed-up and were 'monitored' only by my 19 year old son with me providing instructions over phone while I was at work. If I had been present, I would have insisted on better grinding-out of stump. Still, I would employ this service again. The job was completed fairly close to my (high) expectations, cost was reasonable and clean up of debris was thorough.

My neighbor has used Clipper in the past and suggested I try them for yard cleanup. I scheduled a visit via email and was able to meet with a representative from the company within a matter of days for a full estimate. He provided suggestions and answers to my questions. He provided a written bid, which seemed quite fair for the amount of work included. He also provided a timeframe for when the work would be completed. I was able to keep following up with the company via email prior to the work being done and after it was completed. The crew came out with enough people and machinery to get the scope of work completed in a day. This even included one member who scaled the tallest trees in my backyard to remove limbs as a preventative measure to protect my yard and house from any damage as result of future weather changes. I was completely impressed with the level of professionalism shown by the entire team. The knowledge and expertise was equally top-notch. They cleaned up and left my yard looking amazing. My insurance agent was in need of a tree removal, and as soon as I shared my good experience with him, he begged for the company's phone number and called them for an estimate. Thank you, Clipper Tree Service!

Description of Work: Came out to do the work when I wasn't home. Didn't know they had been there. Missed a couple branches I wanted removed. Called and spoke to Tony who told me sarcastically they have to stop coming out to my city when I asked him what I should do. I immediately took offense and he became belligerent to me. Asked to speak with owner who never called me back.

Clipper just left my house after doing a wonderful job trimming and deadwooding our large, old trees. The trees look great and I feel much better about the thunderstorms that are forecast to roll through here this week because I don't have large limbs hanging low any more. The crew worked very hard the entire time and did a fabulous job of cleaning up. I wish I had taken some pictures throughout the process because my words don't do justice for how hard they worked and how much better it looks. Clipper was recommended by friends, but we had a couple companies come to bid the job and Clipper was by far the most reasonably priced. I'm so glad that we went with this company and I would HIGHLY recommend them to others.

Everything went very well! First of all the folks in the office were very friendly and helpful. Then the team showed up right on time. The guys worked hard for several hours and did everything they had promised. They cleaned up well too! We were left with a pile of mulch we will use in our garden. They happily took care of a couple items we added on at the last minute--which was great! Will definitely call them again and recommend them to friends and family.

They came right out to give me an estimate for the trees in the front of my house. They said about 2 weeks but trimmed a couple branches right then that were hanging over the walkway. The came about a week late but that was weather related. They also came back to clean up but it was rather dark by then and they missed a lot of branches in the ivy - but that is not an issue for me.

We used Clipper Tree back in '09 and were very happy with their work. And, like before, this time Don came out very promptly and provided us a quote. He also kept in constant contact about the status of our job. It had to be rescheduled due to inclement weather and Don made it a point to contact us to let us know. The customer service is top notch and very friendly :) The trees look beautiful, thanks to Clipper Tree Service. And our neighbors even talked to Don as Clipper was working today and got a quote to do some work in their yard. We would definitely use Clipper again in the future and would highly recommend their services!

I could not have been happier with the service provided by Don. Clipper Tree Service was removing a tree from one of my neighbors yards and Don happened to park in front of my residence. I asked him about the dogwood in front of my house and after taking a few moments to assess the situation provided me an estimate. He indicated that the price took into account that they were already in the neighborhood -- so let that be a lesson that it never hurts to ask when you see someone doing work on a neighbors house. Don was efficient and professional. Being a new homeowner, he welcomed my questions and observations while he was working. He explained to me in detail what he was doing and how I might approach routine maintenance moving forward. After finishing, I asked Don about the trees in my backyard. He took a few extra minutes to walk to the back with me and provided his thoughts as to what I might do moving into the fall/winter. I would use Clipper Tree Service again.

The tree fell on the house. This company came out and decided to over charge us. The tree was not difficult or dangerous to cut out and away. We asked them to stop. We asked them to get off the roof. Repeatedly. They kept going back on. They kept so no, because they had a contract. Once the insurance check got cleared they wanted to finish the work even more. They are definitely a bad company. I would not recommend them. They are scam artists. They are dishonest.

We were in their neighborhood after a tornado had gone through working on another tree when we were told about the (member name removed). Their home had been temporarily condemned do to the tree falling on their home. After speaking with (member name removed) and his insurance company about the estimate to remove the tree from the home and approval received. We did the work using a crane to remove the tree. To date we have not received any payment for the work provided, the insurance has stated that the payment was issued directly to (member name removed). We do wish the best for (member name removed)

They were very good. They cleaned up their work afterwards. I loved to use them as I had used them couple of years ago. They cut a huge tree and I have a bridge that goes over a creek. I was really worried about that but they didn't damage that at all. They did a great job. I had lot of people saying that they can't do it as the bridge would be damaged but they didn't damage. Their price was very reasonable and excellent pricing.
Description of Work: I used Clipper Tree Service Llc around June of 2011 as I had some trees come down. They went and cleaned the trees that were hanging in the streets and put those back. I had one in the back yard also and they cleaned that up also and trimmed them down.

It was wonderful working with this company. The person who came out for the estimate was very meticulous in writing down exactly what I wanted. He promptly handed me a valid insurance paper when asked. (The last company I brought in for an estimate gave me an expired insurance paper), On the day of the work, the crew was very courteous and prompt. They did exactly what I needed them to do, plus a few extras which came up. They cleaned everything up and didn't destroy any of my other plants. Several days later I received a postcard thanking me for my business. A very classy company and the price was totally competitive. I would certainly use them again.

The service crew showed up promptly on their agreed upon time (eleven o'clock A.M.) . There were 5 men in the crew, and they went to work immediately starting on the Maple tree. All of the crew were courteous and friendly. They were meticulous in their work including clean-up including both neighbor's yards. The Owner showed up after lunch (to make a crew of 6) and climbed the Cherry tree and started trimming, in essence became one of the crew. Everything was done and cleaned up in under three hours. The crew is very safety oriented. I was very impressed with their work efforts site clean up.
Description of Work: My neighbor has a mulberry tree that has on multiple occasions grown onto my property to the point that last fall during a strong storm had damaged my roof. We have trimmed it back ourselves prior but after the addition of a new roof (!) I wanted this nuisance gone. The services to be performed were to trim the mulberry tree back to my neighbor's property line, the removal of dying wild cherry tree that started in my neighbor's yard and came over into my yard, and also any other vestige of tree that crossed the property line. Alsoo, I have a large Maple tree that was now growing into my other neighbor's yard and was over their roofline, so I wanted any vestige of that tree removed so I can't be called a hypocrite. Overall work was one half of a large Mulberry tree, 90% of a Wild Cherry tree, and 25% of a large Maple tree. Their bid was in the middle of the pack, out of four bids.
