About us

Princeton Tree Care is based in Mercer County in Princeton New Jersey. Our mission is the genuine care of our life giving trees. Professional service to our clients is our highest mission. The Princeton Tree Care experience enhances lives, improves community and fulfills even the unexpressed wishes and needs of our planet. After Sandy in Princeton, New Jersey, a father and son armed with their camping axes took to the streets of their neighborhood to assist in clearing downed trees from across driveways. What started as an act of service quickly grew into a passion. Princeton Tree Care was formed in 2013, set on becoming one of New Jersey's premier tree care services. Our philosophies are focused on proper tree care and health. Through proper care, we can extend the stay of our valuable life giving trees. Utilizing proactive maintenance and pruning techniques, we greatly increase our safety while helping to protect the structure of our timber friends.

First off - the better part. They are punctual and responsive when you call or email. They show up on time. Now for the part that did not go well: I bought a deal on Angies List that says 1500 for 2900 worth of work with some exclusions. I hoped to save about 1000 with the use of the deal - assuming that I will still pay some extra for the exclusions. I asked Princeton Tree Care to stop by and give a quote. The Quote was about 2800 for the entire thing. I asked them to apply the Angies list deal and send it back to me and the quote I got was 2650 for the entire thing. This is just not done. I asked them if there was any money remaining in the deal - in which case I can get some more work done at the same price. Their answer was 'No'. The deal is fully used and this is what it would cost after using the deal. Obviously - I felt cheated and did not proceed with the work. The quote was a terrible misrepresentation and the deal is just to lure you in with 45% savings and then offer something like 100 dollars of savings. I had a few other people come in and they quoted 40% below Princeton's price. Princeton guy was knowledgeable and punctual but very unreasonable!!
Description of Work: I had a tree in my backyard that needed to be taken off. A few other trees needed trimming.

Response from Princeton Tree Care
We appreciate Mr [Member Name Removed]'s feedback and the opportunity he provided our team to work with him. There are a few stipulations of the deal that were not applicable to Mr [Member Name Removed]'s project. The deal was for 21 man hours, had to be purchased through Angie's List and was for certain services (not all services). The deal was applied to Mr [Member Name Removed]'s project and certain costs through the deal such as debris disposal and stump grinding are extra. The deal isn't meant for all projects, as is the case with Mr [Member Name Removed]'s project. Mr [Member Name Removed] agreed to our pricing when he signed off on the agreement, he opened the confirmation email of when our Crew was scheduled to arrive, viewed the invoice days in advance (our software notifies us when an invoice is opened) and waited to make mention he wanted a deeper discount when our Crew arrived to perform the work. As a Customer Service oriented company, we will do everything in our power to do right by our clients and we hope our clients and potential clients will do the same.

The crew was on time as promised and ready to go. The tree that I thought would take quite a long time to rig so it would fall safely was done in nothing flat. The crew ground up all of the stuff that could be chipped in an industrial chipper and sawed the entire rest of the tree into pieces and loaded it up on trucks to haul away. They racked and blew the lawn, cleaned the street and in the end it was like nothing had happened at all. The crew dumped the first load and came back with empty trucks and promptly went to work on the other side of the house cleanup. Again they did a great job, chipped or hauled away anything that needed to go and cleaned up after themselves. Multiple times during both jobs the the guys checked in with me to make sure they were doing all that I expected (and they were). One final check with me in the end and off they went.
Description of Work: Two pieces of work done by the same six man crew on the same day. The first and large work item was to safely drop (so as not to hit a large solar array) a double trunk 150 ft tree. The second part of the job was to clean up three truck loads of tree branches and logs dumped illegally on my property one late night

The salesman was very friendly and courteous. He listened to what I wanted and then made some wonderful suggestions to help me avoid paying for unnecessary stuff. The workmen were professional and were there half an hour before they were scheduled to be there. They completed the job and left before I got to the house. When I arrived at the house I noticed that they didn't grind a stump that was hidden in the grass. I called them and they returned that same day to finish the job. Very professional and do great work without breaking the bank!
Description of Work: I needed several trees cut down and the stump ground.

Great, after a minor delay due to understandable inclement weather and equipment repair. The crew arrived as scheduled and with limited access to the trees, adjusted on the spot and did a truly amazing job. They proceeded industriously and safely for approximately nine hours, not only dropping all 4 trees, but also cutting them to my specified lengths(21 inches) and piling them up for me. After doing all that, they proceeded to clean the whole area, much nicer than what it was originally. I would wholeheartedly recommend Princeton Tree Care to anyone. Additionally, I want to acknowledge everyone there from the owner, Tim, (who personally kept me up to date on the schedule) the office worker, Liz, the estimator, Sean, and especially the crew of John, Scott and Ryan. Thanks again, jim

Princeton Tree Care was awesome. Our family had a huge dead dangerous tree removed from our parents property. Princeton Tree Care beat the price of other estimates, were very responsive via phone and text keeping us up to date on the progress, workers were extremely courteous and the job was done within a few hours. They even noticed a small crack in sidewalk caused by the removal and came back months later when the weather warmed up to repair it. We will definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone.

They are very knowledgeable with horticulture. They are more than just tree people. They have a large knowledge of the trees, the plants, diseases and they are very on the ball. I use them all the time. I used them last year all year and I’m getting ready to use them this year.

They removed a 35+ foot tree in our backyard and ground out the stump. Yard is not accessible for their lift, so they climbed the tree to cut it down. Ground out the entire stump, removed all branches and debris and left the yard perfectly clean. Excellent work!

Sean was great at evaluating and presenting my options. What I just couldn't understand is why they would advertise on Angie's List that for $750, you would get a $1399 of service. If you look at my invoice below, you'd notice that my true discount is $608.18, not $750 as advertised so to me, this is border false advertisement. In the grand scheme of things, the difference is nothing in terms of overall cost when compare to the amount of work that was done, but I just feel that the math was a bit sneaky. The work is top notch nevertheless.

Job was handled very well. Sean came to inspect, and I was so grateful for his flexibility as I mixed up the appointment time. He was very gracious. He also made useful and appreciated suggestions! Also, Chris was very responsive, keeping in close contact with me with both of our difficult schedules. All the work and recommendations were thoroughly explained. The trimming came out great!
