Thanks so much for leaving a review and being candid! It assists us in offering a better level of service and knowing our short falls. As perfect a cleanup as we can offer is our goal on every project and a "full truck" is not an excuse for not cleaning up appropriately. I personally apologize and please note when and if you choose our service in the future your prior issue and i assure you we will make it up to you. Thanks again!

All three times I engaged Friendly Tree service, pricing, and punctuality were all top drawer. I would highly recommend them again, residential or commercial.
Description of Work: Tree removal mandated by municipality due to complaints of a nervous neighbor. Service was excellent, so I hired them two more times (subsequent times were my own decision).

The guy who came over was very knowledgeable and very courteous. That is some of our requirements to make a decision of using a company. The workers were courteous and we communicated with them to ensure a smooth job. They cleaned up and did a good job.

Friendly's representative gave us a great estimate with various options (including removal of one very large tree, which we deferred until spring). He was very knowledgeable and saw a lot of issues we did not see. We would definitely recommend Friendly to anyone and expect to ask it back next year.

They met or exceeded our expectations, showing up when promised and providing outstanding service.

After thorough online research, I contacted this company for an estimate because it was inundated with positive reviews. I hired them and was not disappointed. They are responsive, friendly, attentive to your needs, arrive timely as agreed, & work hard to ensure customer satisfaction. They are definitely skilled workers. Upon completion, all debris was removed and the appearance of my property has improved.
Description of Work: Overgrown Juniper needed to be sheared tightly to shape, topped to stand approx. 6 feet and cut back from fence. Shrubs cutback/pruned from house, also cutback/elevate Cherry Tree low stressed growth along driveway.

Thank you for the review and all of the projects we have been able to help with over the years. As you know we look at each client project as an aspect of a relationship as opposed to a transaction; sounds a bit cheesy yes but with a long term plan and prioritization we can attend to all of your tree care needs over time. Much appreciated that you took the time to review us and we look forward to any and all future assistance we can offer

The tree trimming was well done. The man was friendly when he came for the free estimate, knowledgeable. They cleaned up afterword. MY ONLY COMPLAINT is that the workmen broke off the corner of one of my patio tables (I guess a tree limb fell on it) and never told me. I only noticed it when I had a BBQ last weekend, and now it's too late to complain.
