We had a smaller tree get struck by lighting in our yard. The team was out within a day or two to give us a quote. After obtaining one other bid we decided to go with Out on a Limb. We were not disappointed. They came back the next day to remove the tree with such precision, total time was less than 30 minutes. Teresa, who scheduled our service, was very responsive and easy to deal with. Would use them again and recommend. Plus, their pricing was half of competitors quote!

they came to my home the week of the 4th & said that they would put me on the schedule for next week (10th). I called them & asked if they would be out "before" the storm & I received this text: " we are trying to get you lots people want tree only can do so much thanks Out on a Limb". So the week before I was going on the schedule & then I became insignificant to them. They did not say they were that busy when they said I would be put on their schedule. Highly unprofessional & I never heard from them again.

They did a great job. As soon as they looked at my tree & saw that it had a risky crack, they managed to schedule to come out & remove it the next day. The tree was close to my house & my neighbors house so I appreciate the responsiveness to get it down as soon as possible. They also provided recommendations on what I need to do to reduce this risk on my similar trees.
Description of Work: Removed big bradford pear tree which had a large crack.

This man and his crew were wonderful. They arrived with all of their equipment and went straight to work. Within two hours they had completed the work, cleaned up my yard completely and left. The work was so well done. His crew of three knew exactly what to do and how to do it. James himself was here the entire time. I can't imagine anyone would do a better job.
Description of Work: James removed 4 huge cypress trees and ground 5 stumps. He then took out 7 over grown laurels. He chipped it all and took it all away.

As always, great! Teresa and James have done work for me over the past several years so I called them immediately when I saw that broken limb. They were extremely busy because of damage caused by the storm, but they sent out their climber, Carlos, Wednesday morning after the storm weekend. He carefully trimmed the broken limb, then climbed the pine tree to remove the broken limb and a second limb that had been damaged when the first one broke. He and his helper removed the limb, cleaned up the yard and were thorough and professional. When I have issues with trees, Out on a Limb is the first company that I will call. They are fair, honest, professional and do great work!
Description of Work: Removed/hauled away broken limb caused by the 2016 ice storm in January.

parcelThe provider met with me at the site where the work would be done. We discussed the job, and they said they would get back to me the following day with their quote. Never heard back from them. After several days, I called them. They said they were shutting down for a time. I would have appreciated them contacting me with an honest reason for not responding. Needed work was unduly delayed due to their failure to communicate.
Description of Work: The provider showed up for me to show them the job that needed to be done on time. We discussed getting their insurance binder and the bid for the work to be done. i never heard from them

I can't say enough good things. Came out the same day I called and cut our storm damaged trees down to the ground, later that same day, so that they would not cause any damage or harm. They let things dry out and came back a few days later to finish and clean up. Very professional job at a fair price. Thanks again!

They came, they sawed, they cut! Everything went perfectly and they were a great value compared to other estimates we received. James, Teresa, and their crew showed up on time to initial appointment, called in advance when they were going to drop by as we requested. When performing the job they worked efficiently and fully cleaned up all the debris resulting. We also asked for several branches outside of the additional scope and they charged extremely modest amounts for the incremental work. Would wholeheartedly recommend them to neighbors and all others.

Description of Work: We initially called this company when a tree fell across our driveway. They responded within a couple of hours and removed the tree. Because they did such a good job at a reasonable price, we have had them back to do additional work.

The company came out with a crew of about 7 people and knocked the job out in less than 6 hours. They cleaned up the yard afterward and I was pleased with the service.
Description of Work: Trimmed 25 foot tall bushes back from property line about 4 feet. Cut down one 75 foot tall tree near the house that required rigging to bring it down and felled another 100+ tall poplar in the back yard. Trimmed up the canopy on three or four other trees that required scaling the trees to cut down the branches. Cut down 40 foot tall bradford pear. Ground 2 stumps each measuring approximately 2 ft. in diameter Cut down 5 or 6 other smaller trees 5-7" in diameter at the base. Cleaned up property line for overhanging limbs.

They were great! Very easy to work with. They came out originally for 5 trees, we asked about the 6th and they said no problem. They showed up on the scheduled date right on time. The crew knocked out the job all in the same day. We are very pleased with the work that was done and would definitely have them back if we need them.

Out on a Limb's Teresa and James are a wonderful pair. I contacted them through Angie's List, and Teresa responded nearly immediately. We arranged to meet at the site a day later, then walked through the details of the job. They priced the job immediately, we shook hands, and then scheduled the work for the following week. The night before the job was performed, Teresa called to confirm all the details. Once they began, there were a few questions about different trees, and Teresa was kind enough to call me at my office to walk me through my choices. When I arrived home that evening to check out the completed work, the jobsite was absolutely immaculate! All the debris was gone, the chips were blown to the agreed upon spot, and there was not any trace of their vehicles left on my lawn, pasture, or edge of the pond shore. (I had feared that the rain would have softened the ground, making it easy to drive ruts in the grass if driven over.) I highly recommend Out on a Limb to you all. I will definitely call upon them in the future. (And, James even took the time to teach my brother-in-law how to fish the pond. Later that evening after James and Teresa departed, my brother-in-law caught the largest bass ever hooked in my pond!)
Description of Work: Cut down one dead pine tree, cut down one 2 foot diameter dead pine stob, and then cleared the underbrush and dozens of small trees along the edge of my pond. All debris was cut up, removed from the site, or chipped onsite.
