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.

They did outstanding work. They arrived on time, worked efficiently and quickly. They were very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. They gave us helpful information about problem areas we need to work on in the future. They worked beyond the scope of what we requested and expected. For example, as they were trimming branches on a large tree, they found that a large part had died and could fall and be dangerous. Although they could have removed the dead part, the tree would eventually die. We agreed that the tree should be removed, which was not in the scope of work, but they quickly cut it down at no additional cost. They cleaned up thoroughly after their work. We used an Angie's coupon which provided a set number of man hours of work. Sean had preliminarily assessed what could be done in that time period. They completed all of it and more, even finished it ahead of schedule.
Description of Work: They removed a large tree and some smaller ones and trimmed branches from several other trees and shrubs.

Everything was completed as discussed in a timely manner by the very professional and caring team. On arrival, the team reviewed the work order with me to confirm we all understood what was to be accomplished. I will definitely call Princeton Tree Care again.
Description of Work: Tim and his team have completed several jobs for me: hurricane clean-up of fallen trees and a 'mantle tree' -- a more proactive approach.

It was pretty good. I think it was for 7 hours but it took them like 5 hours. The time was less. I think it was a good price. There wasn't really enough to do for the 7 hours and that's probably my fault. Overall, I was satisfied. The person that came out probably could have said that this doesn't require 7 hours. I guess he's just accommodating me. They did a good job. They were responsive. They came when they said. They were late but they called. They were very prompt.

Did a good job of pruning. Were on time. Guys were friendly and professional. They had to come back to grind the stumps, and there was some delay with that due to some hold-ups on other scheduled jobs, but that was not a problem for me since there was no urgency for us.

The service was an A overall. I did feel that a little more could have been accomplished had all members of the three man crew been working to their full potential. But they did do a very good job and my primary goals were met. After they left, I inspected the property. They did miss a few bag worm nests that I noticed. I contacted Tim at the company via email late that evening, and the crew was back at my home the next morning to remove anything they missed. That is why the A rating is well deserved. I will definitely use them in the future to complete more clearing I need to have done in the woods.

Very good experience overall, the work was done on time and as quoted. The stump grinding machine left some unfortunate track marks throughout our grass but I don't think that could have been avoided (although having a heads up before hand would have been nice)

They are awesome. Princeton Tree Care is the real deal. Sean is great. His team is professional. We had another tree company come prior to Princeton Tree care who were paid in full and never completed the work nor did they do a 1/4 of what Princeton Tree Care did. Our property is 1.3 acres. We have a few dead and diseased trees on our lot. We definitely will rehire Princeton Tree Care.
Description of Work: Sean came to our property two times to consult with us about the work we needed done. We had three trees (50-60ft) huge towering over our house. The three trees were were taken down and the stumps were grinded. We also had seven large trees (30 ft) that fell down. His team cleaned up the seven trees. They also took down four trees from the side yard that were (20-40ft) tall. All trees were cut and the wood was stacked neatly in our front, side and back yard. The site was cleaned of all debris. The workers completed the job in less than 7 hours. I believe there were five workers. I can't remeber. They worked quickly and continuously until the job was done. They even looked for other trees to take care of in our yard because they finished quickly. They ended up topping off some branches of a tree that was leaning in our front yard.

The tree work was prompt, efficient, and performed with both skill and care. The numerous surrounding shrubs showed no sign of disturbance. Clean up was good. Excellent work at a reasonable price!
Description of Work: Princeton Tree Care did major pruning, from a bucket, of two large aggressively expanding shade trees and removed one medium size pine tree. They displayed experience and artistry in shaping the tallest tree. They cleaned up thoroughly with rakes, chipped all debris, and left me the wood chips.

It seemed like he was trying to take advantage of the situation as he never did explain his business policies.
Description of Work: He was too expensive. I got someone else that was more reasonable. Then he tried to charge me a cancellation fee that he had never mentioned in his policy before.

Response from Princeton Tree Care
We always appreciate feedback, and we value feedback so that we can learn and grow. This was an unfortunate situation. Members Name Removed signed off on the project. When the agreement is emailed over, the terms and conditions state that there is a cancellation fee when the project is cancelled within 48 hours of the projects scheduled start date. Members Name Removed called hours before we were scheduled to arrive. There are costs associated with last minute cancellations. We offered to match the price he had gotten from a competitor. Our offer was not accepted. We did not enforce the policy so the cancellation fee was not paid. We always strive to be fair and reasonable and we hope to receive the same in return.

PrincetonTreeCare is a top notch organization. They live up to their name. I would recommend them for any tree / landscaping project whether large or small. I called around and folks this organization outdid them all and I was not dissappoined. Not only did I get the best price but awesome service. Sean, Scott and crew were ontime and did not waste one moment. The crew went right to work and didn't stop until the job was completed. They cleanup after themselves. Sean is a jewel and gave me great advice and insight regarding healthy trees I was considering cutting down along with others. That's honesty and integrity. He didn't drum up business because he truly cares about your trees. Since I was happy with the results, I called them back two weeks later for a second project. Same results! Awesome service at a very affordable price. No organization in their field can beat them, price and service. My name is Pastor Steve of the Word of Faith Church, Philadelphia. You can take my word for it. This company is the real deal! I would recommend them for your project. Pastor Steve

I loved this company. They were professional and friendly from the initial consult. The trees in my backyard were hard to take down because you can only reach my backyard through my garage (I live in a row). However, they arrived at 8:30 in the morning and were done by 11:30. Not only did they finish the task quickly, they cleaned up after themselves as well, hauling the wood through the basement and into their truck, and even raking up the leaves.

They arrived on time and started work immediately. The gentleman who climbed the tree and did the cutting was amazing. He made it look easy. The crew was friendly, respectful and courteous. They did a fantastic job cleaning up. The job was finished by mid afternoon. Stump ground, large pieces of stump hauled away. It's hard watching an old tree come down but they had all of the equipment necessary to make the job as painless as possible.
