Friendly Tree is the most knowledgeable company we have ever worked with. John is amazing; his extensive knowledge of all the trees on my property and their growth patterns was impressive. The first time we used them, he told me exactly what they were going to do and what the net result would be going forward for the tree. The tree then did exactly that over the next two years...Second to none.
Description of Work: various tree items over the years from removal to trimming of trees. I live in a heavily wooded area.

Thank you for the review! A long term care plan for your trees allows for a safe healthy attractive environment and allows priorities to be metered and scheduled to fit all budgets. Tree care is a process not a transaction.

Everything was so great - from meeting John for the estimate to the crew that showed up to trim our tree. The crew was in and out in about 2 hours and left our patio/backyard cleaner than when they came. They took off quite a few large branches that were hanging over our house, but made sure to keep the tree looking healthy.

John came out to the house to do the estimate and was able to provide expert advice that took into account both the aesthetics of the yard and concerns about the health of the trees. The crew who followed up to do the work executed the plan perfectly and communicated with me throughout the job. Highly recommended!

Great company. Always good work. I add new work every time they come because they have great ideas to make the property look great.
Description of Work: They have done alot of work at my house from cutting down several trees damaged by storms to replacing those trees and putting in bushes. They work with other contractors to help solve issues even if they aren't there fault (had a sprinkler guy who put in wrong sprinkler type and killed a tree.) Friendly tree coordinated with the other contractor to replace the tree the same day the new sprinkler was put in to avoid inconvenience for us.

They called me back, came and gave me estimate. Explained why the price was that high. On the way off, the crew showed up, they went to work , removed the tree and cleaned up the entire mess.

They did an excellent job. The owner, John, came out soon after I called for the estimate. He is thorough, professional and answered all my questions. John is very responsive. The crew were all nice and cleaned up the yard very well. I would definitely have them back for more work.
Description of Work: some trees were cut down as they were dead or a hazard. They trimmed some very tall trees in the front yard.

Lots of hiccups with scheduling: apparently, I chose the rainiest messiest week. After getting permits for spots (time consuming and costly!), Friendly cancelled due to weather. After 2 more reschedules, they came showed up, did an awesome job. Was so pleased by Ray's professionalism. True class act. Tree was pruned expertly to property line, and even when my neighbor called police (what?!!), Ray came back & gave 100% support while I (the homeowner) cleared up any concerns w/police. So pleased with Friendly. These guys are awesome.

The Friendly tree crew was great. Ray, Pedro and Dilton (I believe was his name) were efficient, very careful, and listened very well to my wishes, but also offered helpful suggestions on the trimmings. John who came out to assess the project - very clearly knows trees. The crew cleaned-up everything very well. Could not be more pleased. Will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Needed to have trimming/thinning out of 4 trees, 3 very large and 1 medium. Also needed 2 medium sized trees cut-back as they had over-grown the space they are in, plus 1 large dying tree needed to be topped about 20 feet from the ground, leaving the truck for the woodpeckers.

Very Well..clarification. The employees arrived within a reasonable time frame. They discussed all work in insure accuracy.. They cut the tree down the first day and made arrangements for the grinder to arrive the next day.. The tree root was ground the next day as promised. I mailed a check! .. All is well .
Description of Work: I had a tree removed and the trunk ground. I also had branches that were overhanging my house trimmed back... I am very pleased with their availability, good workmanship and quick response. The workers were professional and hard working. The owner answered all of my questions and concerns. I intend to use them again. I think the price was competitive and fair..

It went very well. Julio climbed the trees,made his precise cuts and then lowered the limbs and branches to his crew below. He then climbed from the ground to the top of my porch to blow the debris from the roof ( no ladder!) It was a pleasure to watch. Fascinating ! They also did a thorough clean up
