The estimator was on time, which I appreciated. Because it was a small job, they combined it with another one in my area. I came home one evening, and the tree was gone! There was no mess what-so-ever.
Description of Work: I called them for an estimate to remove an apple tree and grind the stump.

Their price was the lowest of the three prices that I had gotten by about 30 percent. They did an excellent job. As an Angie?s List member I had a coupon that gave me a 10 percent discount. My experience with Traditional Tree Service was excellent.
Description of Work: I used Traditional Tree Service to trim all the trees on my property.

Steve was cognizant of my needs and carefully scheduled a day when I would be home. He called the night before, arrived promptly with his crew the next morning, and removed the tree and stump without damaging anything nearby. He avaluated the rest of the property where I had concerns...and will return to feed and spray some other trees that may have problems. He quickly ground down another stump that had been previously left when one of our other trees needed to be removed a while ago, as well.
Description of Work: I needed to have an unsightly tree removed from the front of my house. Special care needed to be taken because the were electric and water lines near by. The stump needed to be grinded as so we could plant another tree in the future.

I couldn't be happier. Throughout the day the team behaved in a friendly and professional manner, and their expertise at doing their respective jobs and working as a team was obvious. They were well-organized and tackled even the biggest branches in a safe-enough manner that I had no fear of anything damaging the house. Steve kept the beautiful vines on a huge oak on the front of the house and trimmed them to save the tree and the vines, at our request. At one point it turned out that I had estimated the property line incorrectly and Steve had marked some trees and shrubs on the neighbor's property for trimming and cutting. They talked to the neighbor and when he told them he didn't want the stuff cut, Steve adjusted the job, and the price, downward to compensate. At the end we ended up paying exactly the estimated amount, minus the stuff he didn't cut at the neighbors' place. And it seemed like a bargain. After Traditional left we were thrilled with the open yet still well-shaded look of our property. It was a huge difference, and visitors who saw the place beforehand never fail to say how much of an improvement the trimming made. In sum, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Traditional to anyone who has a big trimming/cutting job like ours. They were awesome.
Description of Work: We recently moved into a house on a half-acre with a lot of overgrown trees and plants, some very near the house and seemingly dangerous. The place had never, evidently, been trimmed. During his initial estimate, the arborist Steve from Traditional recommended which trees to trim, and we had in mind which ones to cut. During our discussions he wanted to err on the side of preserving the integrity of the trees and the beauty of the property while preventing damage to the house and opening up the space. He ended up removing three very large trees, grinding the stumps, and trimming about 8 large trees and countless shrubs and smaller trash trees. It was a massive job and took Steve and his six-man team all day. Traditional seemed to have all the right gear, including a really tall cherry picker that allowed the guys to reach, rope, cut and lower the even the highest branches safely. They ended up carting away two dumptrucks worth of ground-up vegetable matter, and left me the trees and some large branches, cut up into sections for me to chainsaw, as firewood on my request. Afterward they also cleaned up the property very well, and blew off the driveway, sawdust and smaller debris before they drove off.

Left a message on his answering machine and Steve got back to me next day. I described the work and he dropped by when I wasn't there and left a quote within two days. I called him back and said no rush as I wasn't going to be around for two weeks, and he said he'd do it when he got another job in the area. When I returned he hadn't done it yet, but when I called to say I was back it was done within three days. Again he did it while I wasn't there, and he did a terriffic job, even taking off a limb or two that needed to come down but wasn't included in the original quote, and he didn't charge more for the extra limbs. I had said he could put the limbs in the woods, and that's where they were; lawn was fairly clean when done (hard to tell because the stormmthat brought down the rest of the 30'+ tree left debris all over the lawn). I was going to pay in cash and he dropped by about a week later to pick up the money...again when I wasn't home but my wife or son gave him the money I left. So I never met the man, but he does nice work.
Description of Work: Took down a 30 foot "stump", trimmed off several additional branches on other trees.

Well, to be honest, we sort of had a snafu to start. Steve was prompt in responding to my initial call, and we set up an appointment for quote on a Saturday. However the Saturday appointment passed and no quote visit. So I called to see what happened and it was just a mix-up (forgot the paperwork), so, again based on his great reviews, we rescheduled for the next day and Steve was genuinely apologetic! We decided to go with Steve and I could not have been happier. He told us that he would definitely do the work the following week, and would call us the day before he came with the caveat that we did not need to be there, only to have our gate to the backyard unlocked. He called Thursday night and said he would be there Friday afternoon. He stopped by around 8:30 on Friday to coordinate with my wife and to make sure everything was a go. His crew was working by 11:00. Very quick, and very cautious with the trees around existing structures. It was easy to tell they knew what they were doing. By 4:00, trees were down, ground, the yard was raked and cleaned (better than when they started), and I was waving goodbye to them. Overall, a GREAT experience, and my wife was first to comment on how good the yard looked afterwords, as the last tree removal company we used left our yard a MESS because they used a separate stump grinding company and they had no commitment to clean up. Needless to say, they got a tip.
Description of Work: I received two quotes from Steve...one for just removing and grinding 5 trees and one for an additional 5. Both prices were in line, if not a bit lower than other quotes we got, but we decided to go with Steve due to the positive feedback on Angie's List.

The owner was extremely professional: estimate was presented to me yesterday and the tree removal crew arrived the next afternoon! I was pleased with their promptness because high winds was forecast for that day and the next and since one dead tree was leaning, I was glad to see it removed quickly. The foreman or owner (not sure which he is) went so far as to remove two flowering plants from harm's way prior to excising one tree and stump and then he replanted the plants in their original spots!! I had pointed out to him they were flowers my daughter loved to gaze at from her bedroom window. Imagine my appreciation that he took my concern into consideration! When done, my property was left spotless. I will definitely use this company in the future. Complete satisfaction! (P.S. I've used another tree service in the past and they were not as good as Traditional Tree Service).
Description of Work: Removal of two dead trees, one of which was leaning on my neighbor's fence. Ground stump of one tree and the workmen managed to completely remove the other stump without grinding.

I got three estimates to have two trees removed. Steve from Traditional gave me the best price (the same as the other two, but Steve also included trimming the Douglas fir in his price), so we went with him. He said he'd be able to get to us in two weeks. Less than a week later, he called and said he was going to be in the area and that he thought he could fit us in. He and his crew showed up right when they said they would and did the job quickly and efficiently. They completely removed the Japanese maple and its stump, cleaned up the fir, and even cut up the cherry tree for me to use as firewood, stacking it up against my fence, nice and neatly.
Description of Work: They took down a dying Japanese maple and a dying cherry tree and also pruned a big Douglas fir in my backyard. They ground out the maple stump, too.

I thought they were excellent. He was very honest, he didn't try to rake me over the coals. He was on time, he came when he said he would. He was very good. I think he was very fairly priced.

Steve (a licensed Arborist) arrived on time, did a thorough assessment of the property & provided us with a written 1-line drawing of the project proposal along with a written quote. After we did the same walk through with 2 other vendors, we selected Traditional Trees - their price was better than one of the other bidders but the professionalism demonstrated by Steve surpassed all the others. The Traditional Tree Service team arrived on time and did the work as promised. The clean-up was excellent and we would certainly recommend them to others and of course, use their services again.
Description of Work: We had 7 very large trees removed, 4 smaller trees removed, all stumps ground and other (3) trees (large) trimmed back.

When he said he's coming, he will be there. His pricing is a little high, but a little pricey. The one thing he does not do is, he will not ground down a stump or remove a stump.

The estimate was done a time frame was given. I was called the day before to confirm. Other then the wood chips around the stumps that were ground you wouldn't even know they were there. I was not home when the work was done, but everything that was contracted to be done was done plus a little extra. I had a pile of branches I cut down from some other trees they took away. Thank you very much for that.
Description of Work: I had 4 trees taken down and stumps ground. I had another tree with some branches trimmed back from the house. Some of the work was around electric wires running to house, which is always scary, but was not a problem for these guys. The yard was raked, all wood taken away.

Called other tree services, including one I've used before, this one called back promptly, seemed pleasant and interested in doing the work. Others either didn't bother calling back, or never followed through. He said he was licensed, insured, with other credentials. At first said he'd be here in two weeks to do job, but I called and asked if there was any way it could be done earlier, because I had a fallen tree hanging on my large shed. Job was done within 2 days after the call. Job was complete and more, cleanup excellent, full crew with two huge trucks.
Description of Work: Removed one tall pine tree, removed one dead tree in front property, clipped two huge branches hanging over house, pruned other trees where needed, removed one large fallen over crabappple tree, clipped long dead branches hanging over driveway from another large tree.
