Very disappointed and also surprised! In October '22 Fred was working on my next door neighbor's tree project and I asked that while he was there that he give me an estimate on removal of a large tree that came down in a storm. I also asked that he include in the estimate the removal some honeysuckle which had become too dense on our wooded lot. He gladly came over and reviewed the project with me and gave me a written estimate. I told him that the price was fine and he said that he would call me once he had a chance to evaluate his schedule. Time passed and when I never heard from Fred I decided to give him a call on November 28th. He apologized that he never got back to me and he said that he would call me on December 11th to let me know exactly which day the following week he would come out to do the work. Once again....I never heard from him. What's really disappointing is that Fred seems like a good guy who's very knowledgeable about his trade. He also got strong recommendations from a couple of close friends and neighbors in our development. Unfortunately, reliability seems to be an issue and for that reason we will be looking for a new tree removal specialist in the Spring.

Fred and his crew did a great job. They did everything they said they would do, including removing several trees, grinding the stumps, trimming several trees, and cleaning up overgrown brush around the property. They left the area cleaned up and clear of debris. Everyone working was pleasant and professional. Fred was a little slow to respond to phone calls and emails sometimes, but always got back to me eventually; to be fair, I contacted him right as the weather got warm, which I'm sure is his busiest time.

Description of Work: Removed 3 pine trees, trimmed a maple of dead wood and removed branches from oak tree that were hanging over a neighbors power lines. They remove all branches and wood and chip them. They also rake the lawn and remove all debris. F and D is used by the county and he does a lot of commercial work. It takes time to get him to respond for a residential job. His son Cheyne can do the smaller jobs. I have used F & D at least 3 times and recently had Cheyne Mergy Tree Service do some work for me. He does this as a side job so it may take time for him to get to a job.

Description of Work: F & D has always done an exceptionally good job for me and at a very reasonable price. They have worked for me at least 4 times now. They clean up everything and leave the yard in excellent condition when they are finished. On the last job they trimmed back my mulberry tree by 1/2 so that it didn't hang over my garden, removed 3 pine trees that were dying near my barn, and took off some lower and dead banches on a maple tree.

I was driving down the street that we live in and he was doing work in someone else's, I stopped and asked him to come and do my trees and he said, "sure", and he came down, looked at it, told me what's wrong with it, gave me a bid and had the work done within a week. He was better than others. He was here when he said he's be here and he was very ill and he did not let me know that and have to call him because I don't know what's happening.

Fred was highly recommended by a landscaper friend. I enjoyed meeting him when he came to give me an estimate. He also reviewed other trees and advised us as to their condition without pressure. He arrived on time with 2 workers. The 3 of them worked quickly and steadily and finished the job in 3 hrs. as he had estimated. Fred was very open to discussing the work as it progressed and did not make us feel we were disturbing them when we asked questions. They also cleared an additional area of honeysuckle and he gave us ideas of trees we could add to the area. They completely cleaned up and even put our birdfeeders back up for us.

I was given Fred's name from a man that was installing a pond at our home. Fred came over the same day I called him- his quote was less than 2 others I had gotten. He is also fully insured and that is important to me. The first time he came to our home was last spring- he removed a couple of big trees and trimmed up a few others. The 2nd and third times I have had him over he removed a few smaller trees and trimmed up the hedges along our driveway. I am completely comfortable calling up Marsha in the office (who is always friendly and flexible with scheduling) or Fred and asking for what job I want done and not having to be at home when he completes the job. I work full time and can't be at home during the week. I am so glad I found Fred! Fred and his team are professional, punctual, affordable and ensure that the yard is clear of debris when they leave the job site. I feel that I have my own personal arborist now! Thanks Fred and Marsha!!
Description of Work: I have used F& D tree service 3 separate times so far. I have had multiple trees removed, branches trimmed and trees thinned out, and hedges trimmed.

I contacted F and D Tree Services office and left a message. Based on my non-emergency message, I received a return call about two to three weeks later; which was perfect for me. This time around I had contacted tree services with the intent to keep a maintained relationship over the next couple of years. I met with two companies and F and D was the third company I'd met with but the first company that didn't make me feel like I was in trouble due to the volume of tree growth I had and services that I needed. The other two bids came in above $2000 and topped out at $2700 for the same work. Fred Mergy discussed what he would recommend first, and that was removing those limbs that were haning over my home. He also gave me information on the possibilities of gradually improving my trees and landscaping over a period of time. Fred started at the front of the property with me and we walked around the house and agreed what would come off. Unlike other services, he didn't recommend and quot;toppingand quot; some of the trees. He was very informative about the species of trees I have and gave me ideas what to plant. Marsha, from F and D, contacted me yesterday and said they would be here today, they were, and everything is perfect, they cleaned up, and it looks MUCH BETTER. I am extremely pleased and am already planning to bring them back to help with tree planting.
Description of Work: Trimmed out major limbs from covering roof, pulled up to mid-sized struggling trees, trimmed deadwood off trees. My property has very mature trees and is about an acre in size. I've had my trees trimmed by three different "tree service" individuals prior to this event over the last ten years. (Which is not often enough when working with Maples, Locusts and Walnut trees!) The last time the trees were trimmed was 2008. The trees were affecting mold on my roof, clogging up some of my box gutters, limited grass growth, and dropping a ton of leaves. And with the highwinds or recent, limbs were coming down.
