Wessling always does a fantastic job. They are responsive, professional, and do a great job clearing the site afterwards. Many of our neighbors have commented on how fast and unobtrusive they are, and several of our neighbors are now Wessling customers, too.

The crew came out on what turned out to be a very drizzly day. They worked in less-than-pleasant conditions all day, but forged ahead and did an excellent job overall. They were very considerate in the way that they handled their heavy equipment, and left some of it out on the street, carrying the wood debris that needed to be feed into the chipping machinery up to the street. I had called the office after receiving the original proposal and added a few concerns, after speaking with Brad, who did the initial review of the yard. Some of those trees and bushes did not have marker tags on them, but the crew was very communicative with me while they were they, and we clarified the additional work that was part of the agreement, although not clearly marked in the yard. The only issue I had is that their equipment is very large, including their stump removal equipment, so some bushes in the back yard were cut out, but I will have to find someone else to do the stump removal on those, who has smaller equipment. However, that was understood beforehand. They took time to clean up carefully after themselves and did not leave any debris in the yard. I was very pleased with their work, and in dealing with them. Sometimes maybe they are difficult to reach on the phone; one often gets voicemail, but they do get back to you, and address all of your concerns. I wish that they had called me a day or two before the scheduled service to confirm it, and to discuss rescheduling options if the weather prevented the work being done on the scheduled day. I had to initiate that call to them, but other than that the work itself went very well.

Each time, I first met with Brad, who collected the information about the work I wanted completed, and took photos for the crew who would perform the services if I accepted the bid. Each time, I received the bids by E-mail, and confirmed that I wanted to proceed. The first time, after agreeing on one item, I changed my mind, and called back and decided to keep one of the trees I had originally requested that they remove, and they had no problem with that. For both dates, the crew that arrived worked steadily and removed all the wood that they had cut, and I had the opportunity to actually meet the crew and talk a bit the second time they were here, and was impressed at how knowledgeable and professional they were. I've recommended them to several friends who I know were looking for help for the same issues.

Very well. Several trees and very cold weather and it only took them two days. All wood and debris was removed and hauled off. Crew cleaned up behind themselves. Looked wonderful.

OUSTANDINGLY!!!!  I am so darn impressed with Doug Wessling and his crew.  I'm still in shock. They did a prompt job with the estimate.  They are very busy ( and now I really understand why) - so the work was scheduled a few months out.  However, they arrived on the day they said they would, they arrived on the timing they said they would and most importantly they more than exceeded my expectations.  They really did removed 12 trees in one day!  They cleaned up EVERYTHING!! The place looks cleaner now then before they got here.  (NEVER had that happen before!)  The crew were so nice, fun and full of energy.  They ALL worked the whole time.  Never was it one person working with 4 watching.  It so warmed my heart to see them taking such pride in their work and it SHOWED!!  I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone.  Well worth the wait to get them!!

Watching, literally, thousands of pounds of tree being swung over one's house/garage by a crane is nerve wracking. However, Wessling's crew took down the tree without incident in a timely manner. Additionally, they did a great job of cleaning up the job site once they were through, including getting a guy on the roof of the garage with a gas blower to get all the debris off the roof.
Day #2 was stump grinding. They did a great job of spreading the mulch from their work. They did have two small accidents, causing a bit of damage to a corner of the garage and cutting the power to the garage. That said I was super impressed that they were back at the property the very next day to fix the garage (100% back to pre-accident condition) and had a licensed electrician out to restore power. Look, accidents happens - how  a company responds can make or break their reputation. Wessling responded in A+ fashion. I would definitely use them/recommend them.

Arrived promptly and had permission from neighbor to use his driveway for easier access to the tree. They were meticulous in putting down plywood strips along the drive way and any yard areas to protect the property. Worked efficiently with a crew of about five, very polite, and did an excellent job with the clean up.

Wessling Tree Service is very good. I'm happy with them. It's a very small company. They're hard to get a hold of and hard to schedule because they're so small. When the arborist came, he found out there was a hornet's nest in the tree. He came back at 10 o'clock at night while the hornets were in the nest and destroyed the nest. He came back the next day and trimmed the tree. I'm pretty happy with that. They were very reasonable. The dedication, the astuteness to recognize there was a hornet's nest and his willingness to come back and take care of it stands out. Responsiveness was a little bit slow.

Doug and his crew are very professional.
Our Anderson house is nestled among many old, tall trees. We have used him, for years,
to help with problem trees that presented safety problems. (We hate to cut down trees.)
The prices are fair and the results are very professional. Highly recommended.

I was satisfied with them. Their customer service was outstanding. I dealt with Brad who was one of the arborists. Their estimate was fair. There were a couple of issues where there was a miscommunication about expectations, but they came back and made it right. They were really committed to customer service. I walked away satisfied, and I would call and use them again.

The tree was dying and had the capability of falling onto my neighbor's house. I had been given the price to remove it by another tree service that is not on Angie'sList. They were going door to door while they were working on a neighbor's tree. I had seen the work this other service did on a couple of my neighbors trees and I was uncomfortable with them even though they offered a pretty good price. Not to mention that this other unknown company started to pressure me.
I called Wessling to give me an estimate. Wessling could not match the price of the first tree company but I trusted them, having used them a number of times in the past, to take care with my landscaping. It was close enough in price.
The tree in question was above a newly built rock wall that had taken a long time to build by a friend of mine. I didn't want to drop the tree on the wall and ruin the wall.
As in previous times Wessling sent a professional crew who did a careful job. They didn't get close to my rock wall and they were kind of ingenious about getting huge branches away from the wall before they crashed into it with a sort of zip line thing.
They were on time, efficient, and did the job requested for a reasonable price.

Doug's crew of four - six (includes boom operator) arrived on time and ready to go.  Removed tree and stump in timely manner and cleaned up after themselves.  Their cleanup was over and above what I expected.  The stump was over three feet in diameter but they got it all and removed all the chips. We have an underground sprinklersystem and I had all the heads marked. While they were grinding the roots they were very careful.  The only mishap that occurred was my fault. I forgot to tell them about a drain line. I remembered just as they started grinding roots in that vicinity just as I remembered the drain line. A small hole was cut into the line.  Doug repaired it at no charge. 
In addition to the tree tremoval, Doug's crew also removed 2 limbs from another tree. The limbs extended well into a neighbor's yard. She wasn't too happy about having to rake leaves.  When the crew was finished removing the limbs, no one could tell that they had been in the yard.
In all my years {40 of them in Cincinnati] I have NEVER seen a more professional, skillful,consciences crew. I wouldrecommend them highly.

I called for estimate. The employee that came out was very professional ..asked lots of questions. I had a proposal by e-mail the next day. After I accepted the proposal they scheduled very quickly. All personnel I dealt with were great.
