Extremely happy with ArboRx Tree specialists. Dave clearly is an expert arborist and explains his rationale very well on the initial inspection. We had a big job, including removal of a very tall locust tree along with two smaller ones, lots of pruning of our mini-forest in the backyard that had probably never been touched before, plus some other items like pesticide for our Ash trees, cabling trees that had split trunks, and de-compacting soil. We had several tree companies come out for an initial inspection and quote. ArboRx came out and our decision was easy. His team was very professional, friendly, and worked diligently. It was amazing watching them work...they clearly enjoy their jobs. They also have a clear focus on safety. I highly recommend this company!

Price was more than competitive considering they are certified arborists. They provided a very professional quote and included copies of their licenses & insurance. I am more than happy with the results. The trees is looking nice and has a great shape. It was topped 5 years ago by a non-arborists and multiple suckers were sprouted. It looked like a bush. Aborx explained topping is very unhealthy for the tree and stresses the tree.

It's important to us that Dave is an arborist because he really has a lot of expertise. Arborx's prices are also competitive and he is really responsive. He even squeezed us in on short notice because we were having another project done in our yard.
Description of Work: We found Arborx to treat our ash trees because the previous owners of our house used them and the trees look great. Most recently we hired them to remove a dead tree and a few other trees that had outgrown their spaces.

It went great! From the initial visit and quote, I appreciated the professionalism and knowledge. Dave came to our house to walk the yard with me and talk about the trees. The team did an excellent job. It took two days for all the trees, but we were very happy with the results. Our trees look so much healthier now, and we are very happy with how everything looks. The crew was professional, and worked very hard.
Description of Work: We had about 12 trees in our yard that needed to be trimmed (dead wood removed, pruning, etc). We also had two smaller trees that were dead and needed to be removed.

Dave did a great job of evaluating what we had and explaining the situation, including what happens if we do, and if we don't treat. When we had the trees taken down, we did a great job and great cleanup (we left the stumps at ground-level, did not grind, which is something I'd probably do in the future - rotting has since brought bugs, which in turn brought moles - my bad). He noticed a small, dead Bradford Pear near our house on his visit, which I was going to remove myself, and offered to take it down free while his guys were doing the 2 large ash!. On later visits he's even given free advice on staking some of our newer trees that he had nothing do to do with (I'd planted myself). His office staff is a pleasure to work with as well.
Description of Work: We originally had 2 large ash trees near the house taken down. Remaining 8 large ash that were further out we had treated for EAB. That was 8 years ago. We treated for the first 3 years, then Dave told us that newer studies showed every 2 years would be enough for us, so we've since switched to that. Many neighbors' have had their Ash dying and/or removed in those 8 years. So happy our "wooded lot" we loved when we bought has not been reduced to a half-naked one like some neighbors. Will add value when we eventually sell. We are due this year and just called them today about getting this year's done soon.

It went really well. The arborist came out and explained exactly what they would do. He said tat the oak tree that was not looking too good had a fungus and recommended it be treated for that, which they did. I guess we won't know how that works out until next spring, but fingers crossed. They came out when they said they would and worked with me when I was the one who had to reschedule. Those guys worked in miserable, cold, wet weather and got it all done and they picked up and hauled away every stick. Great job!
Description of Work: Several large trees needed to be trimmed back from the house and each other. One tree was looking pretty funky and I wanted that looked at by an expert.

The work was promptly scheduled and professionally completed. There was no mess left from pruning or the removal of the adjacent ash tree. I was pleased with the visit, evaluation and answers provided by Dave, the arborist. I am happy that I switched my Ash tree care plan to ArborX. I will use them for all of my future tree care needs. Their prices are fair, their crew was professional and their cleanup was thorough.

Price was 50% more expensive than competitors (have subsequently spoken to 3-4 other companies that provide this service.). They claimed that they can always tell when trees will survive emerald ash borer, and me, in my ignorance, fell for it when they said they could save all 3 trees. This year, the largest tree with the most damage to the tree canopy lost a large limb and I saw significant die back of leaves on all 3 trees. Many branches had no leaves. Plus, they didn't explain to me that there is no known date when EAB will leave this area. That would have changed the equation for me. That's a lot of money to pay in perpetuity every 2 years.

We contacted a couple places online and Arborx responded right away and showed up at the house shortly after. We got the estimate and the crew showed up the same day at the end of the day and took care of the trees quickly. We had a small stump that we had forgotten near the dead pine that they took care for us as well. They also cleaned up all the loose leaves and branches at the site. We couldn't be happier for the service provided.

Our maple tree is huge & was suffering badly from die-back. Dave & his crew came out & did a great job cutting the dead wood & trimming it to look as good as possible. The weather was freezing but they worked steadily to get the job done. They also took the usable pieces & cut them into 16-18" pieces for us to use as firewood. There was a problem with one large branch, as it exploded & hit the chain link fence as they were taking it out. I called Dave to let him know. He came out & took care of fixing the damaged portion so it no longer looks as if anything happened to it. He would not accept payment for the job until the fence was fixed to my satisfaction. I'm very pleased with his work how he conducts his business. I would definitely use his services again.

The specialists arrived at scheduled time. The equipment used for the job was impressive... e.g., state-of-the-art. They carefully removed a large tree branch from the rooftop then totally removed 30 ft. Bradford Pear tree including the massive trunk. The cleanup was nicely done. It doesn't get much better than the services they performed.

Dave came to the house when he said he would be there (+1). He took his time walking our front and back yards providing input and information about what shrubs/trees we had and how they should have been taken care of so they would be healthy and grow properly(+1). He put together a comprehensive list of things that should be/needed to be done as the landscape, trees, bushes etc at our home had not been cared for by the prior owners(+1). Can't say I was thrilled when I got the proposal but I knew by talking to Dave that he knew his stuff - in some instances he kept me from taking out trees and bushes that he said he could make healthy again (+1). We did receive far less costly proposals but due to the complexity of some of the tree work (really large trees that were very close to the house) we felt most comfortable with Dave (+1). Due to the cost we did it in phases which Dave was great about. The Arborx crew was professional, hard working and cleaned up after themselves which was really important since they did quite a bit of work. They are not the lowest cost but they are really good and I would use and recommend them again - people should realize that lowest cost is not always the best value (especially if they drop a limb or tree on your house).
Description of Work: Cleared several large trees that were precariously close to our house. Also did some grading and land clearing.

Work was of high quality and done safely. This spring, I watched a lower cost tree service company working in my neighborhood and none of their groundworkers were wearing even a hard hat although tree trimming was done above them. ArborX workers operated in a safe manner and knew their craft. I appreciated their approach to tree trimming - which avoided cutting large limbs and saving trees when possible.

Showed up 20 minutes early without calling ahead. I arrived 10 minutes before the agreed time and he had started discussing the job with my wife. I wish he had arrived at the agreed upon time or let me know he would be early. He was very knowledgeable and professional as he went through the particulars with each tree. Said he could not provide an estimate while he was here and said that he would email it to me on Monday, which he did. When we received the estimate I was shocked to see the amount of the estimate, which was more that twice what his nearest competitor, also an established, reputable company that is highly rated on Angie's List, provided. While I am sure the quality of his work would have been excellent, the price was prohibitive. We will be proceeding with another provider.

Great service and these people really like trees. My neighbor have them coming Monday to try to save his three trees, they had a lot of damage because on EAB.. GREAT COMPANY!

Those emerald ash bores and made a smack of my trees. We caught them soon enough. Every one with an ash three needs to get it checked here in Cincinnati.

This provider came out to inspect trees at the scheduled time. The arborist determined what was wrong with our bradford pear, it had fire blight. Since we have three other aristocrat pears, they needed treating also as the condition could affect them. They are all large trees and we did not want to lose them. We agreed to have all four treated. The bradford was the worst and the arborist told us we may still lose it but he thought it was worth trying to save it. I appreciated his honesty. The service was just performed today so we won't really know how effective it is until next year's growing season.
