Excellent. They showed up promptly, re-confirmed what I needed completed. Since I had an issue with new concrete possibly cracking, which their machine would need to drive over, they were amazing at protecting it and still getting the job done completely and very professionally. I was very impressed with their service!!!

This has never been a customer of ours. Due to the cost of covering this distance to this area, this would not be cost efficient for this customer. So we do not cover this area. We always want to be able to give our customers the best price we can, and by going this distance it just would not be in the customers best interest.

It was okay. It was just alright. I don't think that there was anything wrong with their assessment but there was nothing written out. They came out I think it would have been late summer. They were prompt and they did all of those things. They didn't provide any written documentation. I didn't have to do anything and there really wasn't anything that could be done. I think they should have provided a written assessment of what they talked about so I could go back and reference it for questions and such. Essentially they didn't tell me anything I didn't know but I'm, again I'm not sure that they are wrong. Maybe I shouldn't have purchased it because I was shopping for a better and clearer assessment but again I don't think they were wrong in their assessment. I just thought it was pretty quick, pretty cut and dry and, you know, it was okay. I wouldn't run to use them again I think.
Description of Work: They did some Arborist work, or opinions about some trees.

When we provide our customers with a Tree Risk Assessment it is to help find a potential weakness before it is a problem. We can absolutely give written assessments. This tree was not large at all and posed no risk to damage anything if it failed. It was a plum tree and had black knot fungal disease. Respectfully it was a very cut and dry situation for this assessment.

Description of Work: trimmed the tops of my ageing horse chestnuts. it looks a little shocking in the winter, am waiting to see how it looks in the spring. but work clearly needed to be done and first choice tree work was prompt and sympathetic.

The work wars performed well and the areas cleaned up.
Description of Work: The arborist came out for an hour and gave good advice regarding tree maintenance and what new trees to plant. We asked him to quote various pieces of work, and we choose to have the company out to do 2 of the tasks. The arborist provided advice and did not try to sell us services, except after we asked.

Majority of work was completed in a timely, professional, courteous manner. The work involved in the final phase (stump grinding) was completed at a later date. There was some communications confusion related to the stump grinding which has been resolved in total and prompted me to upgrade my ratings. As Angies List keeps requesting and quot;Reviewsand quot; once a service is purchased/scheduled, a place should be provided to indicate that the work is in progress, so ratings are not submitted prior to a job being completed in total.
Description of Work: The job (stump grinding) was completed in early June and I am satisfied with the work that was done and have updated my ratings accordingly. They have not yet completed the job (partially completed) and, consequently, I have not paid the bill in full. Have spoken with them to get job completed. They are very nice, so, hopefully, this will be resolved.

We were very happy with the service that was provided by First Choice Tree Service. Jay Dalton came out to give us a quote for several trees on our property, and gave us an itemized quote with line items and prices for each tree. The quote was printed out on the spot in his truck. We then called him back several days later to tell him which line items we wanted to have performed (we chose to have 2 trees pruned). We were quoted a total of $350 for these two trees. At the time, we were told that the job would be performed in 3 weeks or so, due to a backlog of work that needed to be finished. 2 weeks later, we received a call that the work would be performed on the following Monday (4 days from the call), and I told him that would be fine. They showed up on the day that they said they would, performed the work exactly as they said they would, and did an excellent job cleaning up afterward. Both trees were in my backyard, requiring their equipment to be driven over our lawn. There isn't any damage to our lawn, which is what I was primarily concerned about. We did receive quotes from other potential vendors for slightly lower amounts, but went with First Choice Tree Work because during the quoting process, I received confidence that they would execute the job properly and take care not to damage our lawn in the process.
Description of Work: First Choice Tree Service pruned 2 very tall tees (a black cherry tree and an oak). Both trees are roughly 1.5 times the height of our 2-story house. All of the low hanging branches were removed, and the upper areas of the trees were thinned out. First Choice removed all of the branches from our property.

I met them at a home show. I first had them come out to the house and they showed me what needed to be done and where the damages were. I dealt with Justin and Vince. They were able to complete the job in one day. They did well with the clean-up. They gave me a fantastic price. They even did trimming on my large Oak Tree for no additional costs. They did a great job. I would hire them again and I have recommended them to my neighbors.
Description of Work: I hired them for tree services. They took down six trees, hauled them away, and also grinded the stumps.

I had a great experience! I called Vince and he came out the next day to look at the tree and gave me an estimate on the spot. His price was great and he came recommended from a neighbor, so I accepted his quote. Vince said it would be a couple of weeks until they could do the job, which was no problem. A couple weeks later they came out and tackled the tree in very short order, maybe an hour or so. The tree was right next to our garage and on a slope, so it seemed a little tricky to me. There were a few small holes in the ground from ladders or equipment and a couple small gashes in the turf, but nothing significant. No small branches or debris was left behind. The crew that came out either forgot to grind the stump or didn't know they were supposed to, but I gave First Choice a call, and the stump was gone the next day! I'm definitely calling them for tree service next spring!
Description of Work: Cut down a large dead ash tree, chipped the branches and ground the stump.
