K & A Tree Service

This guy is terrific!!! He had done work for me a few years ago and was due to come out to remove some dead trees and do additional pruning. A couple of weeks before he was due, a gigantic tree came down, just missing my house, but blocking a good part of my home entrance. Ken returned my call that evening and came out the next day to chop away enough of the tree to give access to the door. Two weeks later, he came out with numerous workers, cut down the huge tree and did the originally scheduled work He also has relationships with additional crews who came out with machinery to remove the huge remnants of the fallen tree. Ken's price was beyond fair and his workers were respectful of my home and property. Ken made what could have been a disaster into something that was almost bearable. He was kind and responsive and I consider anyone who hires him to be in the best of hands. BTW, he went up to one of my neighbors whom I'd recommended him to and my neighbor also hired him to do work for him .

Kudos to K&A Tree Service in Merrick for removing the 70-year old giant oak tree from the front of our house and taking away our recent anxieties with every storm. Kenny and his team were punctual, professional, very efficient, neat and reasonable. Highly recommend them for all your pruning and removal needs this hurricane season and all year long!

Efficient, Skilled, Clean. These guys just know what they are doing and they do it honestly, quickly and safely. The crew seemed to always know what to do. The job was fast but complete. Left no mess - you wouldnt know they had even been there except the missing trees. I am always amazed watching these guys work. If you want a model for teamwork, it's Kenny's crew

Have used them before. Fair priced, Actually called to see if they could come early because there other job had something happen to it, worked out better for me. Were fast, efficient made sure to ask if the tall bushes I wanted cut back were to my liking. Bob who came to do the estimate was very professional as well as Kenny and his team who came to do the job. Would hire them back in a second.

Kenny was great to work with, and his crew was quick and efficient and professional. Job was done in a short time, and I thought it was a fair price for the work involved. Would definitely hire them again.

I have used Ken's company for several different jobs over several years. One of the jobs was a very large tree that had grown at a severe angle after Sandy damage. It was hanging over the golf course fence at Eisenhower, and over my neighbors property too. Frankly, I didn't think it could be removed without damaging property other than my own. To my amazement, it was removed surgically, without damage to anything. All of the employees on any of the different jobs they have done for me are professional and respectful. In my opinion you would be foolish to call anyone else.

Ken and his crew are very professional while very quick and efficient at what they do. Arrived on a Saturday to survey the job, arrived on time the following Thursday. I recommend to everyone. After seeing the results and fair pricing, my parents used K&A to remove multiple trees. While Ken and team were there, they were able to take care of neighbors nearby too. Make sure you call Ken, thank you very much again!!!

Very well. K&A also did a few additional dead branch removals not originally priced for no extra charge once I pointed them out

They were very good and quick. They did the job well and I have absolutely no complaints. I would always use them from now on.

Arrived as promised and went right to work. Great experience. Thank you.

I left a voicemail for Kenny and he called back promptly. I was in my office and couldn't pick up, so I sent him a text message with the details, and some photos of the brush. The same day, he stopped by the house and gave me a very fair price. He could do the work the NEXT DAY! He was extremely communicative and prompt. He said he would be at the house at 8:30 and he was! His crew showed up exactly when he said they would and the job was done in no time. They cleaned up quickly and everything was left nicer than when he arrived. It's worth noting that we also had put out a large piece of furniture for our garbage men to take that morning. Kenny was there at the same time as the garbage men and even helped them load it into their truck. To me this says a lot about his business. I'm happy I found Kenny on Angie's List. The reviews are a good indication of his work. Thanks again, Kenny!

It was going great - they trimmed several other smaller trees very efficiently. Then one of the guys on the ground suggested they cut off a dead offshoot of a large, low hanging limb off my historic oak tree. 2/3 of this limb was alive with greenery. The owner also agreed that only a portion should be cut. As we were talking, the guy doing the cuts in the tree lopped off the entire limb. Anyone with a basic knowledge of trees would have known that cutting off this limb would make the tree look unbalanced and would be an extreme measure considering it was alive. This tree was probably planted in the 1930's and adds significantly to the property value. Before they started working, the owner was suggesting various cuts to me and I said, "Less is more with this tree." The owner took $50 off the bill for this mistake. The tree is worth somewhere in the tens of thousands of dollars and irreplaceable. Some of the things the owner said to me were: -I hate it when they do that (referring to his workers jumping the gun and over trimming). -The wind can blow through here now (not sure if this was a joke but it was said in a serious tone). -It really doesn't look that bad. -It was hanging over your house. (It was not. It was shooting off towards the driveway.) Is it the end of the world? No. The tree is still there, but it has lost something aesthetically and no longer looks balanced. I'm sorry to write a negative review (my first on Angie's List), especially for a company with such stellar reviews, but hopefully it will help you tread carefully if you decide to go with them.

Crew arrived on time, the team was professional. Tree removal was done quickly...large trunks/logs of trees where picked up promptly the next. In general my husband and I were very satisfied. Suggestion for improvement for the future: We would have liked them to have picked up/ cleaned up the small branches and sawdust that fell on my neighbor's property. To satisfy neighbor's complaint my husband picked the small branches and sawdust on neighbor's property. Having said that, and to be fair, we didn't call A & K to return to pick up the small branches.

Ken and his crew did a fantastic job all the guys were nice and couldn't do enough to please us would recommend him again great person to work with and crew was fantastic.

Excellent. Came early and worked quickly and safely. These guys are my new tree guys and I will be a returning customer!

Professional service and excellent cleanup. Offered helpful suggestions on what I needed to get done. Very satisfied, and would highly recommend and use their service again.

It was a pleasure working with the owner Kevin. He responded immediately to my request for an estimate which was less than I expected. He came over with a large crew and got the job done quickly. He slotted me for an early date in order to get the job done before I had a fence installed. Very happy with results. Great job cleaning up when complete. I would recommend and would definitely use again.

I was very happy with them and would certainly use them again!

They came on time and did a great job. All the trees were trimmed and the whole area was cleaned..I was happy with there work and will hire them again.

It went extremely well. The crew arrived at my house at the exact time they promised. They worked quickly and professionally. Limbs were cut, removed, and the area was completely cleaned up. I liked that the tree limbs weren't arbitrarily removed. Instead, concern was given to the aesthetic look of the finished work. I was very pleased.

Very Well. It took about 4 hours. There was no damage and nobody got hurt. The lawn was a little squashed from the weight of the wood. I would definitely use Ken again.

They were quick to respond to my call for a quote, provided a fair and reasonable price and scheduled the work timely. They showed up on time for the appointment, we're fast and cleaned up.

The crew was professional and did a great job of cleaning up after themselves.

Called around 11 am on a Friday and got an immediate call back. I met with the owner about 15 mins. later, agreed upon price and by 1:30 they had already taken the tree down. Monday morning, the owner showed up and ground down the stump. Great job all around ,clean up too. Excellent service, nice to deal with and I have recommended them to my friend so this might lead to another job.

Highly recommend. Left a message Saturday night, had someone call me first thing Sunday morning for an estimate and took the tree down on Wednesday. They always answer and if not call back in 5 minutes. Call these guys!
