It was an excellent experience. Everything went as planned. Some changes were made along the way and Mr. Howell and his crew were cooperative. I do not think you can go wrong by using Howell tree service. We plan on hiring Mr. Howell again when we want to complete the project.
Description of Work: We wanted to clean out some of the overgrowth in our backyard forest. Mr. Howell arrived on time for the estimate. He was very patient and helpful with identifying trees to keep and those we wanted removed. The Howell team cleared about a quarter acre of solid honeysuckle bush growth, removed one very large dead tree, removed a number of smaller dead trees and junk trees crowding out better trees. Also removed other underbrush, pulled vines from remaining trees and trimmed a few trees. Some wood was cut for firewood and neatly stacked. The rest of the debris was removed. All this done in less than two days.

I have already commented about their promptness. They certainly were polite and asked me to look over the work. The price was a little more than what I wanted to pay, but I would have them back again.
Description of Work: I had four trees hanging over the house and creating mold on my roof. I also feared that a limb would land on the roof and create a hole since they are silver maples. Denis Howell himself came and looked at the situation. He agreed with everything I wanted and made some suggestions that I agreed with. They called later and told me the time set up and they were here promptly at that time. They had a crew of four and a cleanup man. Took them about three hours, cleaned up great and these were not twigs that they removed.

Telephone transactions were pleasant and helpful, work was well done. Overall the experience was great. If I need another tree to remove, I would use Howell Tree Service.
Description of Work: Howell Tree Service removed a huge tree in my backyard. It was a difficult job because the branches were over power lines, fences and buildings. They did an excellent job. There was a little misunderstanding about the size of the wood left. (I opted to keep the wood cut to 18'' pieces) I didn't realize the size didn't include the diameter of the wood so they left humongous slices of trunk weighing hundreds of pounds. They came back out and removed the larger pieces of wood for an additional cost. They even let me know when they were coming out so I could take time off from work to be sure they took the right pieces. They also ground the stump and left the sawdust for mulch.

DENNIS HOWELL CAME AND GAVE US AN ESTIMATE ON REMOVAL AFTER CONFIRMING THAT THE TREE COULD NOT BE SAVED. HE WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND UNDERSTOOD THE EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT WE HAD TO THE TREE. I AGREED TO CALL HIM ONCE I HAD MOVED THE UNDERPLANTINGS AND WE WOULD SCHEDULE THE REMOVAL. WHEN I CALLED WE HAD TO CHOOSE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT DATES DUE TO WORK SCHEDULE CONFLICTS ON BOTH SIDES, BUT WE DID EVENTUALLY SETTLE ON A DAY. THE CREWS ARRIVED ON TIME AND DID A REASONABLE JOB WITH THE TREE. OUR LOT IS LONG AND NARROW, AND SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LAWN WAS UNAVOIDABLE, BUT ALL IN ALL I WAS PLEASED WITH THE QUALITY OF THE WORK. THE CREW CLEANED UP THE PATIO AND DRIVEWAY AREA VERY WELL. THE PRICE WAS FAIR FOR THE WORK DONE. I HOPE I DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE ANY OTHER TREES OF THIS SIZE, BUT I WOULD CALL HOWELL'S AGAIN IF IT BECAME NECESSARY.
Description of Work: WE HAD AN AGING SILVER MAPLE NEAR THE PATIO IN OUR BACK YARD THAT HAD BEEN IN DECLINE FOR A FEW YEARS. THE TREE WAS LOCATED NEXT TO SEVERAL POWER LINES THAT SERVE NOT ONLY OUR HOUSE BUT ALSO 2 NEIGHBORS. THE TREE WAS COMPLETELY REMOVED, STUMP WAS GROUND, AND WOOD WAS LEFT AT OUR REQUEST FOR PLANNING INTO BOARDS. THE CREW TOOK AWAY ALL SMALL AND DISEASED WOOD AS WELL AS CONSIDERABLE OTHER BRUSH WE HAD FROM BACKYARD CLEANUP PROJECTS.

WE WENT OUT TO LOOK, EVERYTHING WAS DOWN AND CLEANED PERFECTLY, I GAVE HIM A CHECK AND WE WERE DONE! THAT REALLY WAS A PAINLESS WAY TO HAVE WORK DONE.

THE ESTIMATOR WAS TIMELY AND PROVIDED A PROFESSIONAL (PRINTED) ESTIMATE ON COMPANY LETTERHEAD BEFORE LEAVING. THE ESTIMATOR SEPARATED THE ESTIMATE INTO 2 DOCUMENTS, 1 FOR WHAT I REQUESTED AND 1 FOR HIS OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS. AS SUCH, I HAD AN EASY TIME ORDERING THE SERVICES THAT I REQUESTED AND NOT HAVING TO EXPLAIN WHAT I WANTED INCLUDED/EXCLUDED. THE TEAM SHOWED UP PROMPTLY ON TIME, DID A PROFESSIONAL JOB. THE TEAM WAS VERY PERSONABLE AND PERFORMED A THOROUGH CLEAN UP UPON COMPLETION. OVERALL, A VERY PROFESSIONAL SERVICE THAT I WOULD HIRE AGAIN.

SCHEDULED ESTIMATE SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE APPOINTMENT. RECEIVED PHONE CALL A SHORT TIME BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT AND THEY STATED THAT THEY DO NOT COME OUT TO MY AREA. THEY ARE LISTED AS SERVING ALL OF CENTRAL OHIO. I AM ONLY 10 MILES FROM THEIR LOCATION. THIS CAUSED ME A LOT OF WASTED TIME, SINCE I WANTED TO BE PRESENT FOR THE ESTIMATE AND ARRANGED MY SCHEDULE SO THAT I COULD BE THERE. I DEFIANTLY FELT I WAS RECEIVING THE RUN AROUND. THEN I WAS ASKED TO CALL BACK AT 5 PM TO SPEAK WITH MR HOWELL AND THE PHONES WERE SET TO THE ANSWERING MACHINE AT THIS TIME. AT FIRST I WANTED A RECOMMENDATION FOR ANOTHER ARBORIST, BUT NOW, I HONESTLY DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY.
