As expected. We have sold that house and live in a condo now, so will not have need of their services in the future.

First we had the arborist come and identify our trees. The work went quickly and efficiently. The clean up was excellent. We had to wait a little longer than expected because the company grouped 2 neighbors who needed work.

Excellent - very good pre-work process, Lauren Lanphear evaluated the work that needed to be done and it was apparent he is very knowledgeable. The crew of four did a good job, very carefull and used appropriate safety equipment. They had to use a large crane and the operator was very skillful; no property damage! They could not finish in one day and came back about 5 days later to finish (cold and snow delayed their return). I am very happy with the work, they were not the cheapest, but certainly worth the extra money.

They are fine. They do what they say they are going to do. We schedule them every other year. They do all the trees in the yard, depending on the season. They do different things at different times of the year and it's orderly. It's actually my mother's house. She's always had them and I question if it's even necessary. I've never had to spray the trees at my house and they grew just fine, but she likes to do it. They come, they're reliable and they do what they say they are going to do. They are friendly. I don't know what to compare it to, but I think they're a little on the high side.
Description of Work: They do protective sprays and things like that for the trees.

The company removed the limb and assessed the viability of the tree using ultrasound (to find how hollowed out the rest of the trunk was). They recommended that we could salvage the tree but safety dictated shearing several more branches off and stabilizing the top with long vertical cables. They did all of this quickly and with excellent communication. I was a little surprised at the cost of the ultrasound specifically (I think it was $200-300) but overall the price seemed to match the quality and punctuality of the work.
Description of Work: Our very old/very large maple tree had a massive limb fall. It revealed a large hole in the trunk at the attachment point. We needed limb removal and an assessment of the remainder's health.

very poorly - the arborist who sold me the plan never conveyed it to workers - the crew came out and kept asking me what I wanted done - I had some problem issues and I have no knowledge that is WHY I hired this company - they were goofing off- taking very long with some tasks - ie. letting clock run - trees were barely trimmed and done incorrectly - I made arborist return as I paid in full but was upset - he had a real poor attitude and shortly after left company - I was really taken advantage of - the tree they treated never bloomed again and another company told me they did job incorrectly - tree is dying - overcharged and unprofessional.

Their arborist came out quickly. Luckily he was in the neighborhood. He looked things over and gave me a quote. They came out a couple of days later and took the branch off the garage roof and returned in about a week to do the other work. Because of the storm that came through, they were very busy, but took care of the branch on the roof quickly, easing our minds about that. Professional and timely.
Description of Work: There was a huge tree branch still partially connected to the tree that was on our garage roof after a storm. We had other trees that needed trimming or removed.

Went very well. I asked for a small section of the trunk, and they obliged no problem. (WE had trouble moving it though! Who knew one small section could weigh so much?) They cleaned everything up: branches, leaves, wood chips. You wouldn't know there had been a tree there after they were done.
Description of Work: We had a very old oak tree that was deemed to be in the "dying" category, and for safety, needed to come down. This company has been taking care of this tree for 4 years, trying to avoid taking it down, but the time had come. The crew that came out was quite professional, and VERY efficient. They told me it would take "about an hour" and they weren't fooling!

They get A's for all levels of service - we were very happy with them and their communication. The B for price was due to a somewhat surprising cost (>$200) of a hand-held ultrasound to determine how much of the trunk was hollowed out. The rest of the cost seemed reasonable and justified and, again, we will be very happy to use them for future work given the rest of the experience.
Description of Work: A very large maple tree lost a very large limb which revealed a large hollowed out hole in the side of the tree. We consulted this service to see if the tree was dying/could be salvaged. They took care of removing the limb and trimmed wayward branches at all height-levels to balance the tree, including the installation of a cable to support the upper central trunk.

It went very well. The tree removal was better than I expected. I was not home to watch but everything was done and clean up was excellent. The stump grinding was done 3 days later on other areas. It was so neat at first I didn't realize the stumps were removed.

The gentleman that I worked with that came out and gave the information was pretty good. They felt that they could save the tree. However, the tree does not look like it was doing the best it should have been. The guy that came out and did the application was friendly. I paid $150 for the deep root seeding and $150 for the Emerald Ash borer treatment.
