The estimator was professional and so were the guys who did the work. They do need to improve their automated answering system and scheduling process. However, when you are able to speak to the person in the office, she is excellent.

They removed both trees in 2 days with no problems. And after they cleaned up, you would not know they were even there. I highly recommend them.

Princeton Tree Care did an amazing job with our recent project! It involved removing and disposal of several large trees, some of which were very close to the house and other trees. I was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism, efficiency and courteousness of Sebastian's team. They worked carefully and with strong attention to detail to complete a hard day's work. I noticed one stump that could make a great end table and Anthony trimmed it for me on the spot. We carefully researched to find the right company for this big job. Princeton Tree Care exceeded our high expectations. Well done guys!

Their initial assessment was different than that of other companies but they seemed very knowledgeable. However, took lots of effort to schedule, then, they did a half decent job of remove dead limbs but failed to notice dying branches and leads. Within a few days of the work performed the limbs were too heavy after the removal and fell onto neighbor's yard. Ptc did not do much to address their role. They've got the equipment and knowledge but service can be hit or miss.

We appreciate the feedback. We consulted with the client and provided options of service. Options included dead wood removal, structural pruning as well as an option for complete removal. The client was advised of each if the options as well as the benefits of each service. They chose the least expensive option of having the dead wood cleaned out of the tree. A few weeks later a large healthy lead fell out of the tree, a healthy lead with leaves and no sign of decay. The client assumes that this failure in the tree should have been forecasted by our Team. The client was reminded he was given the option of a structural prune, which would likely have helped to prevent the healthy lead from falling out of the tree. The client wanted us to do additional work at no cost once the lead fell. We offered to do the work at a discount. Unfortunately we were not able to see completely eye to eye in the end.

PTC does my routine upkeep. In the horrible storm we had 7/3/18 I had a large oak limb fall in my driveway and across my whole yard. I called them within 10 minutes and they came while it was still raining and cleared everything away within an hour of my call. They cut up pieces of the limb so I could use for firewood, shredded the rest. They were also helping direct traffic as there was a downed tree further up my street

Estimator met me within 24 hours, identified dead trees and dead growth from the winter storms.,, Sent out a remarkable crew in 2 weeks., Completed in 1 day and cleaned the property as if they never showed.. Workers were polite and courteous.. Started in the morning and never stopped until 6:30pm., The fact that half the work was over a pool without one branch or limb going in was amazing..

I got in touch with someone right away, even though I know they were extremely busy during the bad storms we had last winter. They got out as soon as they could and took off the fallen branch, treated the tree to protect it, and cleaned up some of the branches that could cause problems down the road. The tree is happy, we were happy, everyone was happy. We love that tree!

Oh what a bummer! We try our best to deliver services as promised. Unfortunately, the homeowner that was home and present during the project was different then the person who we originally met with during the assessment. Our Crew was asked to perform additional services above and beyond the work scope by the person who was home, we provided a price and the person that was home approved the work scopes. Our Crew proceeded to perform the work and did so according to ANSII standards for tree care. Miscommunication occurred between the home owners and we got caught in the middle. We ended up providing a partial refund for the additional work that we were approved to perform to try and assist with the issues, and it appears that was not enough.

A very short time later, I think less than a week, they were in my yard grinding and removing. I came home to find that where once had been a minefield if roots and obstruction, was now a minor hole filled with a soft, pliable pile of wood chips flush with the surface of my lawn. Now my landscaping plans of a few bags of dirt and either some grass seed or a few rectangles of sod will make everything good as new. Thank you once again Princeton Tree Care for being prompt, professional, and competent. I am also impressed with how tech savvy this group is. You get your quote attached to an email and you either approve it or make changes, and then just push a button on the screen if your phone to send it back to them. And they respond very quickly. Last time, when they took down the three trees I was so impressed and grateful that I drove to their office to pay them. This time I did not have to because when I got the email with the bill there was also a button there to push if I wanted to pay. They had my credit card in the system and I paid with one press. Easy Peasy. I’m thinking Liz and the other woman in the office are the brains behind this cool stuff and they hang out with talented chain saw jocks and stump grinders. Thank you to all at Princeton Tree Care. If only dealing with all companies was this easy, efficient, effective, and gratifying. How I wish I could find a company this courteous and proficient to repair, powerwash, and stain my wooden fence. If only.
Description of Work: After Princeton Tree Care took down 3 trees for me with flush cuts I noticed that one of the trees had some gnarly roots protruding quite high above the surface of my lawn. Between that and the stump, I knew I was not going to be able to disguise it with additional landscaping, as I had planned. So I sent Liz, at PTC, another message, asking for a quote pertaining to stump grinding away the obtrusive roots and stump. In a timely manner PTC responded with a quoted price I found reasonable so I approved the quote and returned it to them.

It went great. With winter hanging around an extra month this year all providers who work outside are behind schedule. I am behind schedule in things I want to get done in my yard. Princeton Tree Care went the extra mile to help me although I was not the most consistent or cooperative customer they have ever had. A woman by the name of Liz that works in the office at Princeton Tree Care to me personify's customer service and professionalism. They fit me in their schedule and did an amazing, clean, quick, efficient job of removing the three trees in question. I was amazed and beyond impressed. I was grateful and appreciative for them going the extra mile for me. This is a great company. I will use them again without hesitation.

OK, let me explain. I purchased to reserve the service for $225.00 the balance to be paid on completion (listed at $1,499.00). It was listed as 3 people for up to 7 hours. When the Project Manager, Corey arrived we reviewed what had to be done and it was going to cost more. The office scheduled the appointment. On the work day, I had at least 6 people show up which meant I would get less hours. I reviewed again what I wanted done and they got to work. For some reason they seemed a little rushed. I had to ask a couple of times for them to do additional pruning. on the front trees it meant the gentleman had to bring the bucket back out and go up again. They were already in the truck and ready to leave without ringing the my bell but I did catch them and asked how much time I had left which I was informed about 20 -30 minutes more, and I was told they were trying to get to lunch before their next job. I wanted one of the trees cut back a little more which they did. I would have liked them to have done more cutting on a couple of trees and we could have discussed if they had not been in such a hurry, in fact I found some of their tools in the backyard but caught them before they left. Liddy, who works in the office was very nice.

We were very happy with the professionalism in the removal and cleanup of the trees they took down and trimmed. However, while using the small tractor to move the limbs from the last tree, the tractor broke down in the back of the yard. I know that something like this can't be helped, but in an attempt to remove it, they dug up and rutted our yard, pretty badly. They assured my husband that they would restore the yard to the way it was, but that didn't happen. If they had, I would give them a glowing review. But now, my husband and I have to attempt to do the yard repair ourselves. Considering that both of us are in our 70's, it will be no easy task. For that reason, I am overall disappointed.

Awesome! The guys were professional, explained how they were going to remove the very large branches over the house and over my neighbors electric wires. They took real care. What I thought was a simple job; as I watched them take extra cuts on each branch in order to control the way the cut branch fell to avoid wires and not damage my lawn. They cleaned up all the leaves that fell along with all of the dead wood. I was really impressed!
