The trees came with a two year warranty, and one of them died about a year after we first got it. (Probably due to the heat wave last summer.) Heartwood honored the contract with absolutely no hassle. They replaced our tree with one that matched the living tree for free - when they were only required to replace it with a tree that was the size as it was originally planted. They were professional and friendly, a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: We had two Yoshino Cherries planted in our front yard.

Late one afternoon, a landscape person in my yard noticed that a tulip poplar was making cracking noises as the wind blew. It became obvious that the tree was in imminent danger of falling. Heartwood interrupted a sales meeting to send someone out immediately for an estimate. By the end of the day, 3-4 different Heartwood employees (including the owner, Patrick George), arrived to help tape off the tree area, alert immediate neighbors, and schedule removal for the next day. Due to rain the next morning, the removal was delayed by a couple of hours, but I was called to be informed of the delay. The removal took almost 4 hrs, was done very efficiently without any climber in the dangerous tree by using a boom & a spyder. Everything was cleaned up and hauled off. It was a prime example of the professional and efficient work that Heartwood does!
Description of Work: Large tree (102 ft) removed, chipped up, and hauled away.

Thank you. It's always painful to lose trees, particularly to something like lightning. The technology is available to protect trees from lightning which is a lot cheaper and less painful that removing them. When we see our trees as part of the family we're willing to invest.

Description of Work: Stephan came to our house in the early fall to give us a quote and sugestions as to what we should do with all the trees in our yard.

Thank you. I really appreciate you mentioning that everyone you worked with was professional and friendly. Everyone of our team is hired for their attitude, work ethic and love of trees. We can teach most of the rest of the skills and everyone here goes through ongoing training above what the industry requires. Everyone. Working in trees is not just a career, it's a lifestyle that requires keen awareness of the inherent dangers, top physical condition and a sense of responsibility for the more vulnerable forms of life in our world. We love what we do and really love it when someone appreciates it. Thank you. Patrick George, Founder and Manager.

They are more expensive, but the percentage difference was minor, especially given the experience - absolutely worry-free. We'd learned our lesson after a horrible experience with a much cheaper tree service recommended by a neighbor. Heartwood is professional, INSURED, experienced and fast. There is no mess and your property is not a disaster for a week.

Their reputation is accurate -- they are expensive, but they are the best. Everyone was punctual, the job was performed very well, they answered my questions on several areas of tree health, even pruned back some smaller trees for me at no extra cost. They also cleaned up very well when they left, which made them an "A+" with my wife.

The maple tree that shades my front yard developed a large hole where a previous limb had been cut off, and it looked bad enough that I was concerned the tree needed to be cut down. But I wanted someone with knowledge and experience to tell me first if there was anything that could be done to save it. Some tree companies would have just given me an estimate to take it down, but I noticed several reviews that mentioned Heartwood's concern for taking care of trees, not just taking them down. One of their certified arborists, Steve Zimmerman, checked it out: he took the time to show me why the damage wasn't as bad as I had thought and to make some recommendations for care. I really appreciate his help and his caring attitude. And I plan to have Heartwood do some trim work on a tree in my backyard later this year.
Description of Work: I needed an evaluation on the health of a damaged tree and an estimate if it needed to be taken down.

Very well! The only minus was I had to call to get the exact date when they would show up. It would have been nice to have gotten a courtousy call or email to let me know when the crews were going to show up. Other than that, it was a fantastic experience. I would certainly hire HeartwoodTree again. It was pretty evident they are very passionate about trees!

I think you've got the wrong service, but I could be wrong. I've made mistakes before and have the ex-wife to prove it. We've searched our database and phone records and don't show your name or address. I'd love to talk to you about it to get the details but I don't have any contact info. We know we get beat on price sometimes but not anything like that. Fact is we dropped our prices on removals last year because there's so many "Axe Men" out there that have taken up tree felling because of the recession. Please, protect yourself by making sure you certificates of insurance, particularly for Workmans Comp. Tree work has been rated as the second deadliest profession behind firefighting and if they don't have it and get hurt, you become the employer to the victims lawyers. Please check, call me if for no other reason than I know it was us. Thanks for using Angie's list. Patrick George, Owner.

The crew arrived when they said they would, did what they said they would do, and charged what they said they would charge. They left no mess, and didn't do any harm to other plants in the yard.
Description of Work: The service trimmed and shaped three large trees in the front yard, and two trees in the back yard. They took down a medium tree in the back, along with many large bushes and brush. They took out the roots of the removed tree and the bushes, so that we could easily plant other schrubs. They cleaned up and removed all of this. Even though one of the trimmed trees was over the vegetable garden, none of the plants was damaged.

Professional start-to-finish. Pete's initial asessment was right on - he didn't try to oversell us and recommended taking down the obvious problem trees, living with it for a year and then re-evaluating next year if we wanted to take down any more. Together, we decided to take down 8 trees in total, 2 of which were huge oaks precariously overhanging the house. The crew did fantastic work, handling the entire job in a single day, followed by a worker the following week to grind down the stumps. Despite the large machinery, very little damage was done to the lawn and the site was cleaned up nicely. Along with the additional pruning to the remaining trees, the amount of additional light now entering the home is dramatic. We won't hesitate to use Heartwood in the future. Thanks again.

No, THANK YOU! Pete is a board certified Master Arborist who loves his job. When you move into a new home, you don't really know how your trees are going to affect you through the four seasons. We try to teach that if you make them safe, you can then learn over the year how the light, shade or flowering trees affect the comfort and feel of your home. After a year, you're armed with a bit more knowledge and experience that help you make that house a home. Trees take decades to grow, it's nice to give them a critical eye before removing them. We love to talk and educate people about trees and appreciate when you understand their value also. Thank you. Patrick George, Founder

Pete came out and gave me an estimate at a pre-arranged date/time. He was on time and very professional. The estimate seemed reasonable. I was worried about the dead pine and it's proximity to my house and my neighbor's houses. Heartwood was able to do the work a little early due to a cancellation; I really appreciated that! The crew showed up at the appointed time. They were very professional. They used a really cool piece of equipment to remove the dead pine tree. I think it was called a spider. It enabled them to work on the dead tree safely - in a tight space. The crew cleaned up the work area when they were done. This is the second time I've used Heartwood and I was extremely pleased with the experience both times.

That's a Spyder Lift and it is cool. It folds up to 3' wide to go through a garden gate and then the legs fold out to give it that spider look that allows us to reach up to 75'. We got it for 2 reasons. First, to be able to do trees like yours safely, sometimes trees are too dead & rotten to safely climb. Second, it extends the stamina of us "Silverback Gorillas" as the week wears on, particularly in the heat of summer.
