Donley Complete Tree Care

Mike is very professional and did an excellent job. He performed all of the work quoted and a little extra. All debris from the work was cleaned up to my satisfaction. He even cut up the removed trees to allow me to keep as firewood at no extra cost. I would definitely use him for any other jobs needed.

Called to get estimate and received one in 4 days. Work was completed par excellence within the week.

Mike said he would come the day we agreed on and called to tell me he'd be at my house around lunch time. He didn't show up until 3:00 pm. The rest went extremely well. He brought several other guys to help and they had the trees down in know time at all. The clean up was great. We had him grind up the stumps, too. You'd never know a tree had been in those to spots. They did a great job. I told Mike I had to leave and was worried about paying him before I left. He said, "Don't worry about it," he sent me a bill the next day which I paid promptly.

Responded pretty quickly to my phone call for an estimate, then I waited a couple of weeks for a tree removal. Waited weeks and weeks for the trees to be planted; they were an hour late for that appointment. Once here, they were very professional. They still need to come back in Dec. to remove a tree stump from the tree that was removed.

Everything went as discussed from the estimate to the clean-up.

They came out on a Sunday to leave an estimate (because of weather). They came back to do the work on the day they promised and cleaned up all of the limbs. As promised, the tree and stump were removed completely. They even stopped on their way out of my driveway and trimmed a couple of dead limbs off the trees in my front yard!

I called Mike on 7/18 and let him know our problem and asked when he could get someone out to give us an estimate. He said he would have them out the next week and would let me know the estimate. Someone was out on 7/21 and the estimate was left at our house. The estimate was $300-$500 depending on how long it took. I was impressed they got out so quickly as this is a busy time of year. I called back on 7/22 and we arranged for them to come on Saturday (7/26) morning so that we could be home to let them know when we were getting signal again from our dish. Mike did ask if there was anyway to move the dish so we could save the money we would pay him to trim the tree which was nice, but this was our only option. They showed up, got the job done, cleaned up all the branches they cut and it ended up costing $400. Mike was the one who was actually up in the tree doing the trimming. Thanks Mike!

Everything went well. The tree was removed along with the stump. He will be back in the fall to plant a new tree in our front yard.

To top it all, when we asked how much we owed him for his time (he had to drive from the other end of town to get to our house), he refused to take any money! After some gentle persuasion, he agreed to accept $20 as gas money! Wow! What an absolutely wonderful person. Not just because he didn't charge us anything or because he didn't do unnecessary work but his clear interest in doing a perfect job for the customer, for his willingness to clearly explain the things we should do, and the obvious delight he took in his work! Not many people like Mike Donley in the tree service or in any other profession. Very strongly recommended.

Mike was easy to schedule with and left me an estimate. I called him back and he was out later that week. We got together one more time, so I could pay him. He gave me some good advice about the trees and his people did good work.

He's very personable and carefully supervised the work in my yard. I give him a strong recommendation.

I called Mike Donley on 7/7/08 for an estimate. I spoke with him that day and he stated he would not be able to give me an estimate until the week of July 14th. On 7/14/08, Mr. Donley called to let me know he would not be able to give me an estimate because he was swamped and overwhelmed with work. He didn't want to promise something and not complete it. I was very impressed with this gesture. I thought it was quite honest and very professional. That is good customer service to me. I would call Mr. Donley again. If he is this busy, he must be doing good work.

I had another service from Angie's list perform.

Mike was extremely responsive and professional, as is his crew. Due to the inclement weather (snow and ice), he got his guys out right away to initially take down the dead trees which I was most concerned about. They worked well past dark to finish the job and cleaned up everything. When the weather improved a few weeks later, they were out to do the tree trimming. As the trimming was done before spring blooms, Mike said he would swing by in May or June to make sure they didn't miss any dead branches. True to his word, he called in late May and said they would be out the next day. They did another 4 to 5 hours of work and clean up at no additional charge. We were very pleased, we would use Mike again and have already recommended him to friends and family.

I thought that he was on the ball. We had a storm on Thursday and he showed up Friday noon and was done in an hour or so. The clean up was thorough. He chipped the branches, and cut the trunk. He offered us the remains. He was efficient.

It went very very well. They were very prompt and they also had very reasonable prices. They cleaned things up well when they were done doing the work for us.

I plan on having him back out to trim my tree when it is healthier. He was very friendly and professional. He was courteous. He was informative. He was a very nice gentleman.

They did the most neat and professional job I have ever seen and left the yard impeccable. Really just very pleased with their service.

They trimed away dead branches and cleaned away all of the larger branches and even most of the smaller ones. I was very impressed that what was left looked so good. That is say that the trees ability to block out the veiw of my neigbhors was not lost, but all of the dead growth was removed.

Mike came out over the weekend to provide an estimate. Unfortunately we were not home at the time but he left a detailed estimate along with 4 suggested varieties if we were interested in replanting. I called the following Monday for the service and he arrived w/in the week. Mike supervised the operation from start to finish. He and his three man crew were extremely courteous and professional. I believe they were able to complete the entire job (plus grind another stump for a neighbor) w/in one hour...I'm still not sure what I want to do about replanting but Mike provided several suggestions and invited me out to his shop to view the varieties at my convenience. I am very pleased with Mr. Donley's operation. It is apparent that he takes great pride in his profession and I would highly recommend them to anyone in search of an Arborist.

What a great experience. I called on a Monday for an estimate and Mike came the same day. He looked at all of the trees and shrubs in my yard, told me what type of trees they were and what condition they were in. We discussed which trees needed to be removed and he gave me an estimate. The crew was back within a week to do the work. They worked quickly and efficiently. My children watched the whole process from the house. Mike cut a piece of a tree trunk for them so they could see all of the growth rings. I was impressed by his thoughtfulness. Everything went smoothly and was done very well. I will hire them again!

Mike was a delight to work with. He and his crew were very thorough and professional. Mike explained every step and offered suggestions that We could do in other areas of the yard. Would definitely use their services again.

From the estimate to the cleanup, everything went very smoothly. Mike came out and spent some time discussing the work that would be done and gave us an estimate. We scheduled the work as soon as we made our decision and it wasn't long before Mike and his crew came and performed the work described. The cost was even reduced from the original estimate!!! Everything went well and the trees look excellent; we will definitely call him again if we need work done in the future at this home or our next one.

Our property was a bit of a mess. We have 2-1/2 partially wooded acres, about an acre of which is lawn area. This area had a 60ft tall dying tree, plus three trunks from some trees that were cut down several years ago. These trunks were each 20-30ft long and 2-3ft in diameter. There were also numerous pile of branches at the edge of the woods from limbing these downed trees. Probably 6-7 tons of wood needed to be removed. There was no way we could handle cleaning up that amount of timber, so we called Donley Complete Tree Care based on their excellent reviews on this site. Mike Donley came out within a day or so for an estimate in the evening (very convenient). I showed him around the property and also pointed out some other areas we'd like cleaned up. Mike gave us an estimate and we were pleased with the price. We had to wait a week or two for scheduling, because the ground was wet from rain and the spring thaw. They needed the ground to be firmer for the heavy equipment required for this job. On the scheduled date, Mike and his staff arrived early in the morning and worked until late afternoon to finish the job in one day. Let me tell you, these guys have some serious equipment. They removed all of the timber, ground down the stumps, cleaned up all of the branch piles, and totally cleared out two very large planting beds. They chipped and/or loaded up all of the waste, and did a fantastic job of cleaning up after themselves. Our property has never looked so good! Donley Complete Tree Care is a highly professional operation. We couldn't be more satisfied.

After accepting Mike Donley's estimate I contacted him to schedule a date to have the work done. Before doing the actual work, Mike came to the house to go over once more the trimming to be done, and he gave some helpful suggestions. When it came time to do the actual work, he completed all the trimming, cutting down the pine tree, clean up and hauling away the debris in one day. He came back several days later to take out the stump of the tree he had cut down. Mike was polite and professional. The trees look good.
