Acme did an outstanding job! Their estimate for the work was very reasonable. The job required a large degree of skill because the limbs, about 30-35 inches in circumference, extended above our house, a picket fence, and patio. The crew came in and did the job skillfully and without issue. When they left, the only way that you knew they had been there was the missing limbs on the tree. I would recommend them to anyone needing tree work and would not hesitate to call them again.
Description of Work: Acme Tree Service removed two very large limbs from a silver maple tree that extended over our house and patio.

All good. Very punctual. Showed all possible vigilance to the safety of his crew. Especially showed flexibility and openness to give us just what we wanted at this time. Gave us good advice as to what our future needs might be.

We moved into a new house at the end of July and contacted Acme to have someone come by and give us a quote for getting rid of some dead tree branches still hanging on and a couple limbs to make sure they did not do any damage to the house. Acme responded quick and came over quoting a price of $350 to do the work. We agreed to have them do the work and they advised since it was a small job they would do it when a crew was in the area in the next week or 2. 4 weeks pass and I call them back wondering why the work has not been done. They lady that answers the phone I guess does not have the ability to look up jobs or anything so I had to wait for Bob to call me back. When Bob called back I got told they were very busy and that it would be another 1-2 weeks before they could get it done. Fine, we had enough other things going on I did not want to take the time to hunt for another tree service. 4 more weeks have now passed, no calls, no work done, nothing. I called again today to cancel my service request and again I have to wait for Bob to call me back. Maybe the company does good work, just hope that they bother to show up and do it.

We had a large branch fall on thee roof and land on the patio awning on Sunday afternoon. It was putting lots of stress on the awning and my wife... I left a message on Bob's phone to call me on Monday. He called me back on Sunday and came over right away to look it over. After getting one more bid I went with Acme. He was more expensive, but I like him and trusted his advice. He said it would be a week before all the work would be done. Much to my surprise the came early and did all the work on Weds the same week. It looks wonderful . Everything was clean and done better than I imagined it would be. Thanks Acme !

Bob and his team were a pleasure to work with. Bob came out and gave an estimate for the work. He was able to accommodate our schedule, due to a fence being installed at approximately the same time. The four Forsythia bushes were so overgrown they were the size of a small bus. When the crew arrived, they were able to clean up as if they were never there. The neighbors tell us it is the best the tree has looked in years.

We were in the middle of adding a covered deck when we realized that our 15 yr old ash tree was going to be a problem. I called Bob to see if he could help. After talking to him we decided to go ahead and do the other two trees at the same time. Due to the time crunch with the construction, they came out the next day and did a wonderful job. As a result the construction was able to remain on schedule. We had never had our trees professionally trimmed so was not sure what to expect. I was very impressed with the job they did. I am not an easy person to please and I'm incredibly picky. I would strongly recommend them and I'm planning on using them again in the future. The price was very reasonable, they cleaned up everything and removed it from the property. VERY GREAT EXPERIENCE!

ACME did a fantastic job; the look of the trees is night and day. We had six bids for the work, ranging from $1200-$2400, and their bid was the second cheapest. The crew worked from 9-4:30 on the project. Based on other member reviews we expected ACME to do a great job and they did. The staff was friendly and professional. The crew cleaned up so well after all the trimming it didn't look like they were even here. We will hire them again in a few years for maintenance.
Description of Work: Had three large trees (locust, pin oak, and ash) in the backyard trimmed and all dead branches removed. Have lived at the property for just a few years and neighbors had said they don't remember the trees being worked on in the past 10 years and thought it had probably been longer than that.

They were very careful with not dropping branches and damaging the lawn and planting underneath. Material was carried out to the street for chipping without damaging anything. Nice clean up. The tree looks very nice.
Description of Work: Trimmed a large Austrian pine. They took out dead wood and opened the tree up for better air flow. They also cut branches that were growing towards the house and did so in a way that the tree still looks balanced.

Great job, would absolutely use again and recommend
Description of Work: I had 2 trees that needed major trimming and one smaller tree to be removed. I called and requested an estimate which I received within a couple of days. I agreed to the estimate and the crew showed up in about a week. A bit intimidating at first as they appeared as with chain saws blazing.....they did an amazing job, true arborist. the trees were trimmed safely away from power lines yet still maintaining the integrity of the tree. The tree that was removed was undetectable! I can't believe how clean they left the yard and driveway. Call these guys, great price, and great quality arborist!

Acme's crew was great. They came, they sawed and they conquered! Bob said they'd be out that week and they were out on Monday. Friendly crew. Did just what I'd asked and worked with me in order to save some money on the removal. I'd definitely call them again.
Description of Work: Took a 50 foot dead pine down that was surrounded by electrical, phone, and cable lines. I had it left with a 15 foot stump and I did the clean up in order to save on the price. Bob was great to work with and they cleaned up and left everything looking great.

They completed the job over two days. Since they showed up the first day around 4pm or so, they had to stop before the job was done (though they actually got the tree completely cut down, just not cut into smaller chunks and hauled out). The second day they came back around 12:30 or so, and it took them until dark to finally finish. They told me that when they came to do the estimate, they didn't realize how tight of a space there really was, and that the tree ended up being MUCH bigger than remembered. It was a hard job getting the limbs to fall in the small amount of space available (we have a lot of fruit trees and garden in the back yard). He said that the deal we got was WAY lower than it should have been in price, but they stuck to their estimate for the most part (I had remembered my top dollar amount as about $100 less than what they asked for).
Description of Work: We had a very tall - appx 100 ft tall - dead cottonwood tree right behind our house. I contacted two companies from Angie's list - Acme and one other - and one company that a neighbor had used. Acme called right away and said that someone would come by to look at the tree and then call me back with an estimate. It took a little longer for them to get back to us, but when they did, they were much lower in price than the competitor, so I hired them on the spot. He told me it would be about two weeks before they could come. They showed up one day and got to work!

I had volunteer tree in my back yard that needed to be removed. It was growing right on the fence line and was starting to grow into our power/cable/phone lines. I called Acme, left a message and within an hour they returned my call. They showed up later that afternoon, we agreed on a price and they started taking it down that day. Since it was late in the afternoon, it got dark early and they had to stop, but they returned the next day to finish the job. The owner was on site. He was courteous and responded to my questions. I will use Acme again.

Really fast, friendly service! We received a quick and reasonable estimate that was based exactly upon what we requested, and they showed up within a few days to do the work, which was very nicely done. Their work and clean-up was so tidy that unless you were looking at the tree, it was impossible to tell that workers had been there. We've used a couple of other tree services in the past, and Acme's service is the best experience by far. (One service took 2+ months to do the job and another did the bare minimum of clean-up and left us with a lot of work to do ourselves.) Acme will be our go-to choice for tree services from now on -- very highly recommended!
Description of Work: Limbs from a neighbor's tree were rubbing against our roof and chimney, and we wanted to have those limbs cut back to prevent damage. Our neighbor did not want further work on the tree, so we wanted a limited job.

Bob Odom from Acme stopped by the same day I called for an estimate. He said it would probably be 2-3 days but they showed up late that same day. There were about 8 men and they swarmed the limb and yard like ants. Within about 20 minutes the limb was gone from the back yard, it was raked and all the other piles of branches we had made were also picked up. I had forgotten to ask during the estimate if he could trim a dead branch over a phone line but when I went out as they were working he had already done it! He said he was also looking for anything else he could reach to trim. They re-strung a cable line that the limb had brought down, too. They were quick, thorough and very neat.
