The crew arrived as scheduled, safely blocked off the road as required, utilized a lift to reach and remove damaged or dead tree branches, thinned out branches, trimmed branches away from houses on both sides. Then they removed a different tree as requested. The following day, someone came with a grinder to remove the stump down to 12" below grade. Fantastic, clean, professional job.

The Oak was down within minutes; the pruning and shredding took a couple of more minutes. The men were very workman like and courteous.
Description of Work: Took down a dying 50+ foot Oak; leveled stump; pruned a limb on Hickory; and gave a major pruning to a Norrwy Maple. Total charge was $800 as per original quote. NJ Governor got the extra $56.00.

We were referred to Action Tree from our landscape designer/implementer. Action has every piece of equipment necessary to perform the work from lawn rakes to 100-foot cherry pickers. They have varying sizes of trucks and chippers. When they are finished you can expect a neat, lovely result. The people are trained, professional, and have all of the safety equipment needed to scramble up 40-year-old trees or trim compact shrubbery. This company is a TREE company, not lawn maintainers with a sideline. One of the owners does the estimating and the other, a licensed arborist often supervises the work. The office staff is efficient and knows what is going on with the projects. This company is popular, so at busy times you may have to wait, but the result, to us, is worth it. When they give a date for the work, they can be counted on to be there. We are willing to pay for quality, clean work. I realize others are more cost driven, but you will never be left with piles of chips or little branches laying all over your yard. .
Description of Work: Trimmed all of the trees in our 1.5-acre yard. Removed dead limbs, branches that were overhanging the house, limbs that were too low and causing a problem for mowing the lawn. After Hurricane Sandy, Action Tree removed 7 60-foot pines that were tangled up and hanging at odd angles from other trees. They ground out 4 stumps as well as a school-bus sized pile of limbs we had collected.

The service person was very timely and professional but I felt the pricing was high.
Description of Work: The company's representative provided me with an estimate to cut down some dead branches or to chop down the tree. He quoted $500 for he branches and $1000 for the tree. I later engaged Krys' Home Improvement in Manville to cut down the branches and he did so at a fraction of the cost that Action quoted me.

Response from Action Tree Service Inc
Thanks for the review. Action Tree Service is fully and properly insured for tree service, which includes performing work both up in the air and on the ground. Currently, there are a handful of properly insured tree service companies in Somerset County. A consumer will find any properly insured Tree Service Company to have higher rates to protect both the homeowner and their employees. Tree Service Insurance is not the same as Landscape Insurance. Landscape Insurance protects work on the ground, such as mowing lawns where as tree service insurance protects work in the trees such as tree pruning and tree removals. Action Tree Service believes in providing excellent customer service, valuable tree work and adhering to all safety, industry and insurance regulations.

It was easy to schedule an appointment with Bobbie for an estimate--response was prompt and Don came within the week. Unlike the other 2 estimates we received, Don was quite knowledgeable about trees and made valuable suggestions about what was needed/not needed. He dissuaded us from pruning back an old Japanese maple since it had already reached maximum spread (we were afraid it might keep growing towards the house). Also, he suggested a more conservative approach to pruning a large maple which turned out very well. A 3 man crew arrived with a large bucket type truck and a machine that chewed up branches. They spent about 3 hours doing the work and was very professional . They even had to climb into one of the trees to prune effectively. They were careful about the lawn and cleaned everything up. Price was competitive and we also received a 5% Angie's list discount. And they take credit cards! We could not have been happier with their services and would definitely recommend them. .
Description of Work: Removed 3 large tree stumps and cut into firewood lengths. Pruned and dead wooded several trees (large maples, holly trees, apple, crepe myrtle)

We were going to install a tree by our gardener but found that another contractor did not ground the stump of old tree that was there before. Our gardener just raised the ground and installed a tree. I did not get much explanation on how it will work. We were not sure whether the new tree will survive with large stump underneath and we were also worried that the stump may still grow up. Therefore, I contacted Bobbie to get a pricing for stump removal and replanting of the new tree. She was still very nice to help me out on this small job. Soon, Don called me and explained in detail that our new tree should be OK without removing the stump. I appreciate Action Tree for saving me the cost and giving me the explanation.

I would highly recommend action tree service. They were punctual, professional, cleaned all debris after taking the tree down and trimming other trees. Even my neighbors on either side were impressed with the job they did.One of them took their name and number for future work she needs done. Originally I was given a time frame of two to three weeks, however, when I explained to the owner that one of the trees had damaged my garage and that I was hoping to have it repaired before it got too cold to do the work, I received a call back saying they would be here the next day. I greatly appreciated this accommodation. I could not have been happier with their work and pleasant, professional attitude.
Description of Work: I needed two trees removed, many trees trimmed and one 50-60 ft blue spruce needed the top part removed as it has died in the heat and lack of water this past summer.

I have used them in the past and that is why I am using them again. They are good and did the job I asked them to do. Their timeliness was very good and they were quick. The price was right but afterwards I wanted them to do follow up but they are poor at that. You have to call the office to get them to do stuff.

Bobbi runs the office and was extremely professional and accomodating to every concern I had about this project My neighbor across the street had a big home improvement project going on with lots of trucks on the street. I wanted to give them notice before I had a several large trucks show to take down this very large tree. Bobbi called the day before to give me plenty of notice to notify the neighborhood. The next day, the crew showed up at 8:00 am sharp and started working right away. They had 4 or 5 guys and two (or more) trucks. I had to go to work, buy neighbors who watched this giagantic tree come down, all said they were extremely careful by not having limbs fall, and were very neat. They were not able to grind the stump down that day but promised to come back in a few days. They showed up a few days later, but because I was having a complete roof tearoff/replacement done, they didnt want to grind stump when other workers were there. I had asked if they could come back after July 4 to finish the project. One very hard working young man showed up on July 5th (one of the hottest days of the summer) to finish the job in record time. Overall would give Action Tree Service a 10+. They were professional, price was very reasonable, dedicated and always concerned about safety (this was one big tree that could cause real damage if not done right). I am very impressed with their hard working crew and professional Office manager. Would highly recommend Action Tree Service and definitely use them again. Would give them the super star if I knew how.
Description of Work: I had a 100+ year old Norway Maple tree taken down on my front lawn. The tree lost most of its canopy during the freak Oct 31 2011 snow storm and had become dangerous to my home and my neighbors. After several calls to various tree companies, Action Tree had the best proposal , they were very responsive and had the best price. They also had a bucket truck that could safety remove the 70 + foot tree which was hanging over my house and my neighbors, and then remove all debris and grind the stump down .

Bobbie at the office was friendly and helpful, and returned our message promptly to schedule a visit for an estimate. The estimator was on time, and reviewed the trees carefully. The estimate then arrived promptly, and was reasonable. Although we didn't have this work done, ultimately, we would work with Action happily in the future.

Action Tree was waiting for the winter freeze so they could maneuver the bucket truck on my lawn without damage. That freeze never came so after the lawn dried out a bit this spring they did the work. I had a large oak tree removed that was in decline along with pruning two other large oaks and the removal of a fair sized Norwegian Spruce in decline. The two stumps were ground. The tree work was all done in one day. The huge trunk of the oak was sectioned and removed with a major sized log truck with a boom for loading such as you might see in logging country. All other tree material was ground up and removed. The yard was raked clean where the work was done. Action tree came back a couple of days later to grind the stumps, again leaving no mess. All the work was done professionally and on budget.
Description of Work: I Received an estimate from Don last fall for work to be completed in the winter. The work involved included removal of a large pin oak and a fair sized Norwegian Spruce, both in decline. Pruning of two other large oaks was also included. The bid was competitive and Action Tree came recommended.

They came in the morning and were here until mid afternoon. I was happy that they cleaned up after themselves!
Description of Work: They did an estimate back in October before the snow storm. After the storm we lost alot of trees, limbs, etc. before they came back in Janurary,t my husband did alot of clearing the broken limbs into piles. We also marked all the trees that we wanted to have they cut down. The cleanup and cutting was extensive and the price charged wasn't that much more than the original estimate.

We will be putting a new fence in a few days and we needed a good tree service to make sure the perimeter is clear for the new fence. We called the Action Tree Service, Inc among others and requested a free estimate. The owner, Don Murphy came the day after I called the office. He was punctual and professional and sent out his proposal to us a few days later. The proposal was very clear and outlined each service item by item with the price so everything was out in the open. The price was better than the competitors' estimates so we accepted the proposal and we are very happy. Today, the crew of four people arrived on time and got to work right away without wasting any time. The people were very pleasant and did some extra removal of few smaller trees without charging anything extra on their own initiative. They arrived at 8:30 am and they were done with the job at around 10:00 am. They did everything right and we never expected such a perfect service, such price and such amazing professionalism. We are very happy and we will certainly use this company for all our future needs.

We live in a cedar woods, and are putting solar panels on the roof. The solar installers provided a map of trees to remove. Action tree company gave a rough estimate of the time frame when they would be able to do the work, and called back right on schedule to set an exact date for the work. They The mulch (more than we expected) was neatly piled in a good location. Conditions were pretty crowded with trees near fences and a pond, but they took them down with not a scratch to anything around them. There were 4 workers, and these guys worked non-stop, except for a brief lunch break, from 8:30 a.m. until nearly 4:00 p.m with temperatures in the upper 90s. They cleaned up very well before they left, even raking out the sawdust from where the trees had been. I highly recommend this company.

They were really nice and great to work with. It seemed like a family business and they were professional and very helpful. The service was great but the mulch is starting to fade and that is annoying me. I don't think the mulch fading is their fault since we had a lot of rain and that could have been the problem. They had told me that the mulch was not going to fade and some of it has already faded a lot.
