Joe the owner was very responsive to my inquiry, he came over within a day of our initial phone call, I had a quote that day and he finished the job within two days. His quote was better than competitors. The tree looked great when he was done and he cleaned up everything on the spot. We were very pleased with his work and will use him again and would highly recommend Albany tree service.

Joe inspected the evergreens and said they were just reacting to normal seasonal and climate changes and nothing needed to be done. We also asked him about a couple of flowering fruit trees that looked a little sick. Rather than try to talk us into possible things for his company to do, he suggested some natural, organic treatment we can do ourselves. Joe is “an encyclopedia” of information about trees and organic treatments. We thanked him for his help and told him we would say a good word about him. We would definitely recommend him to anyone with tree problems.
Description of Work: We had several trees that needed attention because we thought they might be diseased or needed trimming. We contacted Joe and asked if he could come out and give an estimate. We talked on the phone in the morning and he came over within hours of the phone call.

Did an EXCELLENT job. Joe explained which shrubs needed to be removed, which needed to be trimmed, why, and how to maintain them for best future growth. (This guy really knows his stuff!) Removed very large, overgrown shrub and trimmed an even larger one. Left property very neat and ready to re-plant. Wouldn't even know a crew had been here! Punctual, responsive, professional. Very reasonable price. Highly recommend.

It went great! The owner, Joe Stevens, was very responsive. He returned my call within 24 hrs. even though he was out of town. He was at my house within 24 hrs. of returning home to give me an estimate. He was able to return to do the work that same afternoon. He also provided guidance about whether we should remove the huge tree that lost the limb. I left several messages with one of Mr. Stevens' competitors but never received a return call. I live in the City of Albany and apparently have one of the city's largest and oldest trees partially on my property and partially on my neighbor's. Therefore, it is really important to have a trustworthy and professional tree service that responds to requests for assistance quickly. I would definitely hire Albany Tree Service again and recommend them as my experience was very positive.
Description of Work: Needed to have a large limb that broke off a huge tree in my side yard removed from my front roof and have an adjacent tree cut back from the roof.

Work was done on time and within scope. Was surprised that some of the trees were not trimmed differently, but was told we had waited too long to do otherwise. Definitely looks better than before, but will need to wait to see in the long term if the approach was right.

It went well. However, I did have to do a follow up call to find out when they were coming to do the work after I got the estimate. I was apparently lost in the shuffle. He came an hour after my call.

The first job was well done but the second was not completed.
Description of Work: On two separate occasions we hired to remove one tree (two total). On the first one, they did a complete job which included cutting the tree down then trimming the stump to below the grass surface so we can plant new seed. The second time, they cut the tree down but never trimmed the stump. I called to follow-up and never heard back. Now we have a raised stump in the back yard and can not plant grass - looks unfinished.

The removal went perfectly smoothly. The 50-foot tree was down in a couple of hours. A crane was used to lift the cut pieces over the house. Excellent service. Also, they removed a couple of other stumps and a smaller tree, and ground down all the trunks.
Description of Work: We had a huge pine tree in our back yard that was dying. It was a complicated removal because we have a pool and other hard-scapes that had to be worked around.

It was a nice experience, Joe was meticulous in work and I am happy with the work. He took care of all the branches using wood chipper machine and then cleaned up the area. Took time during the process, to make sure that pruning is not lopsided and would put enough distance between branches and wires/ roof and shed etc. Then in addition I have him take out a small tree in front yard and grind it's roots. Work was done satisfactorily and I did not feel gouged on price. I paid 400(estimate 600,rebate 200) for pruning trees and 150 for front small tree, total 550 after utilizing Angie's rebate.
Description of Work: I have two huge Norway maple trees in backyard. Their branches were reaching my roof and over the shed, basically blocking sun everywhere. The canopy needed to be moved up about 25 to 30 feet above ground, without loosing aesthetics of trees.

Joe Stevens, the owner of Albany Tree Service, is very knowledgable about trees and did an excellent job. He contacted me promptly after I purchased his deal on Angie's list and came to look at what I needed to have done. He made good recommendations for additional work which he did for a very reasonable fee. He worked quickly and cleaned up thoroughly. I have used 2 other well-known tree services in the past, and Albany Tree Service was better.
Description of Work: Tree trimming and removal of trees. He trimmed a very large apple tree, removed a few sumacs, a couple of small trees that were encroaching on my house, removed a large tree and trimmed many others on my property.

Went well. Work took two days and Joe arrived within an hour of when he said he would. I knew he was coming from another job so this was not an issue. The first day he trimmed back all of my fruit trees and put the branches through a chipper and swept up. He then explained how we needed to prune in order to make sure our "miniature" fruit trees do not grow out of control again. He was very knowledgable. He was also kind enough to talk to a neighbor about an issue she was having with her apple tree. The second day he took down an unsafe tree that probably would have hit our house during the next storm and some overgrowth and put everything through the chipper.

The crew came after I had left for work and finished before I came home. They did a great job with the two difficult trees in my back yard and left both my front and back yard cleaner then they were beforehand. All at a fair price. Would recommend.

Seeing mostly good reviews we decided to try Albany Tree & Property Service and are glad we did. After going over the details of the work we wanted, and reviewing the trees and the space, we were pleasantly surprised when he said that $400 value offer would cover everything we wanted completely! That week was windy and unsettled weather but soon after the weather turned stable, the work was completed while we were at work. We are so happy - he did an excellent job, including clearing what I know was several (a dozen+?) large branches. Its exactly what we wanted only a little better! I was lucky to find the Special Offer, but we would have been extremely pleased at the normal rate. I strongly recommend Albany Tree & Property Service!
