I don't remember the cost. They were more reasonable than a lot of other people. They were professional actually on the one.

A crew of 4 arrived on time and worked all day to finish this huge job. More employees came in the afternoon to help get the job done. They needed a lot of equipment for the job including a bucket truck, chipper, stump grinder, dump truck, and flatbed truck for the tree trunks. There was a huge mess in the yard at one point but they did a good job cleaning it up. My only complaint is that one of the stumps wasn't fully ground up. The pile of wood mulch was so huge that I don't think the grinder operator even realized it.
Description of Work: Removed 2 large silver maples and 3 spruces. One tree was near power lines and two were 10' from the house. Cost included grinding 3 of the stumps and removal of all wood and brush.

Description of Work: They cut down 4 large tree and shaped some others. Left in the morning the trees were there and when I came home at night they were gone. No mess left at all. Would never know trees where there. This is a professional company that does very good work at reasonable prices.

We had contacted several different tree removal companies based on reviews on Angie's List. When Out on a limb came by for the estimate he was considerably higher priced as compared to the other companies. In addition, he suggested 2 additional trees to be removed advising us that they were dead. Unfortunately, the other companies we received estimates from did not agree with his assessment. Several weeks later, both of these trees now have buds coming out. We decided to go with another company first because of price and because his estimate was not and quot;a la carteand quot; for us to decide what we wanted included. Lastly, his price on removing dead wood on other trees was priced and quot;per hourand quot; and we were concerned that that was not an exact cost to factor into our budget. Bottom line decision for not hiring this company was cost.
Description of Work: Just gave an estimate for what we wanted done.

The crew arrived punctually and started working right away. They were extremely courteous and hard working. They were there from 9 AM to 3:30 PM, as it was a lot of work. The pines were well over 100' (closer to 200'). The branches were also overhanging and intertwined with power lines, which made some companies I received quotes from hesitant. Not with them, however. They knew exactly what they were doing the entire time and cleaned up well afterwards. I can't be happy enough with their service, not to mention it was the lowest quote I received for the work! I will definitely be using them again for future work.
Description of Work: Cut and removed 8 white pine trees. Also cut, removed, and ground stump of a crab apple tree.

Veni, vidi, vici. Loosely translated, the came, the sawed, they cleaned up. The three man crew arrived on time. They were courteous and efficient. Even my dog liked them. The tree in question was in a difficult location, surrounded by other large trees, and there was an old truck that no longer ran, or even moved on its own, blocking access for their bucket lift. A lesser company may have given up at this point. But to their credit, they were able to pull the truck out of the way, get their bucket in place, and cut the tree down without damaging the surrounding trees. It was a big one too, surrounded by other equally big , branchy trees. Then the put the truck back where it was and cleaned everything up. Afterwards, except for the fact that I now have one less large, dead tree and a lot more firewood, it was like they were never even here If all that wasn't enough, they were also the low bidder for the job. I was impressed. And yes, I would use them again. Howard Millbrook, NY

The staff was professional, neat and clean. I would highly recommend this company. The tree Matt and his staff removed from my property had emotional ties to my sons childhood. I asked Mike if he could cut two pieces from the tree which I could give to my sons as keepsakes of their childhood and they did.

Prompt for both the estimate and day of service. Full crew arrived on the job and promptly took down the trees. Cleanup progressed throughout the service and the lawn was raked, the street swept, and a leaf blower was used on each. The men were professional, quick, and cleaned up completely when they were finished. This company's estimate was the lowest of three, one company failed to respond at all. We are completely satisfied!
Description of Work: Removed pine trees and ground the stumps well below grade.

Matt, who was a really friendly guy, did the estimate for the removal of some pine trees and the grinding of their stumps. He explained that it would take two weeks before they could actually do the work because they were very busy. On the day the work was to be performed, I was given a courtesy confirmation call. The workers (who were friendly as well) arrived earlier than the projected time of 12:00 noon. The work was done in relatively quick time and I was impressed with the way they cleaned up. "Out on a Limb" does good work and their prices are good. I strongly recommend them and have plans to use them again.

Matt came out right away for estimate. The crew came by shortly after and work was performed very well.
Description of Work: Had some dead trees at edge of woods, one even half fallen leaning towards house. They dropped them safely and left the wood for me to cut/split for firewood as I had requested.

Matt came out initially to give us an estimate and a time frame of when the job would be performed. He returned with his crew and equipment, as promised, and did the whole job in a timely manner.
Description of Work: Out On A Limb cut down several big, dead trees and limbs, chipped these and a pile of limbs we'd collected.
