Excellent. Owner was very professional, prompt, and knowledgeable. He has clean, well-maintained equipment. When I found a small tree problem that was NOT part of the original job, he arrived quickly and fixed it for me without charge!

There's a mistake here. Your records need to be corrected. We did not use A-1 Tree and Stump service. Instead, we had the work done by Highland Tree Service, and they did a very nice job.

It went well. Harley and his crew came by with an estimate within a day of my initial call and went right to work. 3 1/2 hours to trim 3 maples and cut the pine tree down and cleanup. The one branch had to be scaled and carefully taken down due to the close proximity of my house and neighbors fence.

Got name from Angie's List. Called and left message I wanted an estimate for stump removals. Return call from Harley was prompt, but his interest and demeanor in providing free estimate waned as we spoke. Finally, as if to break things off, he thru out a ball-park price (much higher than competitors) and basically (implicitly) urged me to look elsewhere. So, without offering to look at the project on site, I said "So it's kinda' a take-it-or-leave-it price that could go higher" He said "Yes". So much for Angie's endorsement as one of top providers in the area. Turns out, another rating service did not rate him highly. Other firms in the area (not reco'd by Angie's List) responded much more professionally, just as promptly, and with lower prices.

Response from A-1 Tree and Stump Service
I'm sorry to see that you are unhappy with our phone call. I was actually trying to do you a favor by suggesting that you find someone in your area. As I explained to you, I'm an hour each way from you and that traveling would have to be figured into the price. Also, to say that I'm not highly rated with other service providers is simply not true. I'm glad you were able to find someone in your area.

Harley came over within an hour of me calling. Walked through what I needed and set an appointment a week later. He could have came the next day but I hadn’t planned for such quick service. They were there on time, on the day they said they would which happened to be a holiday. He had plenty of help. All professional, fast and efficient! Excellent company! I highly recommend!

Decided we needed to get our trees under control. Harley came out the day after we called and walked around our property with us. We pointed out what we would like to have done and he suggested various things that could be done. Work was done quickly and professionally. We were pleased

Excellent. Owner is responsive , timely and prices were very fair. Work was done quickly and cleanly. One tree needed to be climbed to be safely cut down. Neighbor saw his work at my house and then hired. I would definitely hire them again if I need trees removed.

Excellent. No complaints here. Would hire again no problem.
Description of Work: We had a large tree removed a small pine and a medium tree that fell in our pond. He also took some limbs off electric lines. He cut the larger debris up and stacked it neatly while chipping and hauling away other unusable debris. He was prompt for the estimate and to do the work. Very pleased with work. Neat, professional, friendly. Respectful of property. Also did a small job for a family member and they were very happy. R

Wow! Mr. Wakeman was the epitome of professionalism and definitely takes pride in his work. He called on Saturday morning and said he would be there in about an hour to quote the job. One could have set their watch by him. He quoted the job and said that he would not only take care of the 3 limbs but would trim up some of the lower hanging branches. We had a problem with the property being wet and worried about heavy trucks being brought in closer to the tree. Mr. Wakeman said that he understood and would not bring any heavy vehicles inside the fence where it was wet. He cut up the wood near the tree, put it on a cart and rolled it outside the fence where he had a chipper waiting. He cleaned up all he branches, brush around the tree, and trimmed the tree so we could get under it again to mow. It is so refreshing to deal with a service provider that goes above and beyond and definitely shows the pride he has in his work! I could not say enough about the job that was done and how adamantly I recommend Mr. Wakeman and his company.
Description of Work: We had 3 large willow tree limbs (2 of which were lying on our chain link fence) that had fallen from a bad wind storm last Fall. These needed to be cut up and removed from around the tree.

This was a very large tree in a the center of the front yard of a city dwelling while managing power/cable lines and close neighbors. They did an excellent job trimming and cutting the tree with such precision avoiding any possible mishaps. I was left with a nice pile of mulch to use for landscaping. Very pleased with the work!

Very prompt service. An accurate estimate was given over the phone and stuck to upon inspection of the property. The price for removing a tree trunk, two LARGE, overgrown shrubs, and another small tree was much more reasonable than any other service I considered hiring. Harley came the same day I called, was very pleasant and thorough. The job was done very well. I will definitely use A1 Tree and Stump Service againfor any other jobs around the property. Happy customer.

It went very well. Mr. Wakeman and his partner apparently were driving by my home and noticed my stumps. They rang my doorbell and politely asked whether I would like an estimate on grinding all the stumps. I showed them about 15 stumps, two of which were quite big (2 feet in diameter), and we agreed to terms: $400 dollars to cut down and grind the stumps to 3-4 inches below grade. They worked very hard for an hour and half and did exactly as they promised My only concern was that they did not remove the sawdust away from the grinding far enough for me to view how deep the stumps were ground. This was only true of a few stumps, but those few were the largest. To be sure, we agreed that the sawdust would remain; I just would have liked to seen the holes on all the stumps that were ground. Otherwise, I am satisfied with the work and the fee for the service. Mr, Wakeman and his partner were polite, unassuming, and professional. I would recommend them and will likely hire them again in the near future.
