It was great. They did all the trimming and cleaned up afterwards. You wouldn't even know they had done some work the yard was so clean.

They are my heroes! I had hoped they could get to my driveway on Wednesday but wasn't expecting them until Thursday. However, when I got home from work Wednesday night my driveway was cleared! If I have need of a service that Out on a Limb provides, they will be the first ones that I contact for an estimate.

We got several bids to do the work, they were in the mid-range of the bids. We were delayed due to weather, scheduling on both their end and fence. So, it didn't get done until almost the fall. But, when they came out they did a good job. They let me know when they were coming, and communicated throughout the day's work. I would use them again.

We first called out on a limb to trim our giant oak tree after two other providers failed to show up! They were there exactly on time, did a great job for a great price, and were very professional. We called them again to remove a dead tree from our front yard. When they were finished, you couldn't even tell there used to be a tree there! They replaced the landscaping and left a beautiful result. Would definitely call them again!

Great! Last year, we had storm damage and our insurance co. contacted Out on a Limb to do the clean-up. They did a great job, so I called them this year for additional work. they did it while I was at work. When I got home, the trees looked great! And, NO debris anywhere. Even where they ground out the stump..you can't tell there was anything there! no chips of wood anywhere. Sam was very cooperative in the scheduling and great to work with. While at my house, my neighbor got a bid for tree removal since she was so impressed with how fast they worked, and cleaned up the area. Highly recommend, very knowledgeable AND nice guys!

I'm not one for writing reviews, but in this case I have to give Mike and Sam credit for their work. They take care of our home and commercial property and do a wonderful job. We are extremely satisfied and cannot say enough for their professionalism and quality of work. This also holds true of their tree service business. We highly recommend them.

We had to wait a little bit since all the horrible storms caused so many emergency downed trees that they had to remove as a priority, which was understandable. They called Monday the 9th to say they would be here on Wednesday. They showed up at 9 am and had all trees cut down, removed and cleaned up by 1 pm. Very courteous and welcomed any questions I had. I would definitely use them again as they were very reasonably priced and professional!

Called in October and needed at least one of the trees trimmed prior to some other construction commencing on November 12th. Sam gave me an estimate and we agreed pending their ability to meet the timeframe. They got the work done on November 8th. Not only was the work completed satisfactorily, but it took them less time than originally expected. Therefore, I was charged a little less than planned. Overall, a pretty smooth experience and would recommend Sam and Mike to others.

I called in mid September to request an estimate, and they came out within a few days and provided a reasonable price. At that time they indicated it would probably be at least late October before they could get us on their schedule, depending on weather. When I hadn't heard from them again by the first week in November I called them, at which time they indicated it would probably be the next week, and that they would call a couple days before. Work was eventually scheduled for the above date, and they arrived a little after 8 a.m. They did an excellent job overall. The four pine trees were removed, and a fifth tree trimmed. All stumps were removed, including the one that was very close to the house and which they initially indicated may be a problem to get to. Stump removal was so good that you would not know there had been trees there. There appeared to be a crew of four men, and the work went very quickly. Their cleanup was excellent, with them even using their leaf blower to remove pine needles that had accumulated on top of our covered gutters. They left the yard and driveway very clean. I highly recommend this company. If only we could find workmen this good for all our household projects!

The whole process couldn't have been smoother and the guys couldn't have been any nicer. After reading Angie's List reviews of Tree Service companies we chose Out On A Limb and made the call. We left a message stating that we were interested in getting an estimate for tree timming services before winter, My call was returned shortly by Sam and appointment time set up. Sam arrived promptly @ set time and gave a bid on the work to trim limbs from two trees. We had several limbs that were on utility and cable lines, a couple that overhung a fence into neighbors yard and a couple that were over the gutters of the house all of which we thought would be a problem if we had a heavy snow or ice storm this winter. Sam informed us of their time line which was about a month out which was okay because we just needed the work completed before winter. We (especially wifey) thought the estimate was very reasonable so we got on the guys schedule for service. Sam contacted us before the month timeline was up to inform us they were ready to get to work on our job. Yeah ! Sam and Mike both arrived the next day and began trimming our trees. I watched most of the work from inside the sunroom and was impressed at how Mike made the cuts to take down the larger limbs - cutting out smaller bulk first and making the weight less so that the larger heavier part of the limb did not accidentally pull down any utility/cable lines. As Mike made the cuts Sam was on top of the cleanup dragging branches and limbs to their truck and wood chipper. Later Sam called me outside before the work was complete to inspect and see if I was happy and I was. Sam and Mike were both so nice and didn't seem to mind my other tree questions unrelated to the trimming job. The bill was right in line with the estimate, there was no debris left in the yard or on the sidewalk, St. Francis was returned to his watchful spot in the yard and we couldn't be happier with the job Out On A Limb did for us. Thanks Sam and Mike ! You will get our call in the Spring for some additional work.

The job went extremely well. Originally, I had planned just to get the tree trimmed. However, the first company's owner who came to give an estimate (which was nearly twice as high as Out on a Limb), noticed that a major limb had already broken over my home's power line. That limb was hanging very precariously and had not fallen only because it was wedged into another branch - also over the power line. I thought the first bid was high, but I was reluctant to use precious time seeking another opinion because of the power line. Based on Angie's List reviews, I called Mike the same day I received the first estimate and explained the situation. He and Sam came out the following day and presented their extremely reasonable bid. They moved my job to the top of their list and immediately called OPPD to confirm the power line could be disconnected at the scheduled time. Mike and Sam arrived as scheduled. As trained arborists, they were thoroughly skilled at their craft. I expressed some concern about the age of the ash tree and explained that my goal was to save as many branches (and even some suckers for aesthetics) as possible, as long as it did not compromise the tree's or lead to unnecessary future breakage. They listened closely and did exactly what I had hoped for; I caught them a number of times standing back from the tree to look again before making their next cut. (This is in comparison to another company that trimmed the tree several years ago while I was at work. I returned home to discover the workers had removed more than I had wanted and had left uncut the branches I had called the company about in the first place.) The fact that Mike and Sam are the owners of Out on a Limb and do the work - bidding and cutting - themselves makes all the difference. Before they left, I asked Mike if a younger maple tree in the front yard should have a few of the lower branches removed. He explained that young, growing trees at work. They did a very thorough job of cleaning up afterward. I cannot say enough. Sam and Mike are very personable, skilled and reasonable in their pricing. Oh, and because my backyard is not accessible to a cherry picker, these guys climbed the tree to do much of the work. Finally, trees are about all Sam and Mike do, except in the winter when they do snow removal and early spring when the do some other yard chores such as mulching. I asked about their snow removal pricing, and it is very competitive.

I had out on a limb perform some tree trimming and tree removal. The guys were aweome and the price was amazing. I had several quotes from other companys for the work i needed done any they beat everyone by a long shot. They are a smaller company with probably less overhead which is probably why they were such a good deal. My only warning for potential customers is they are buisy so whenever you get a quote you might want to act fast on getting a hard date for them to come out.

This is a 2 man crew. They are the owners who do their own bids and work. Because of this it took a week and a half to get to my job. Understandable with all the work they have from the storm we had. I would only add that they communicate better what their schedule is. Even so it wasn't an excessive amount of time. They did a fine job of trimming my trees and seemed real knowledgeable about their profession. They also cleaned their mess. I support small businesses and you should too!

They came out the same day I called. Said they were really busy and about two weeks out but would squeeze me in to their schedule because I was trying to sell my house. Within a few days, they had trimmed the two trees and the out of control burning bushes and I wouldn't have even known they were there because they cleaned up so well. Very happy with the service.
