They patiently answered all my questions to arrive at the final project scope and bid. Very communicative, friendly and professional. Crew arrived promptly, was very focused and diligent while working. The entire team was very knowledgeable, professional and customer oriented. I was impressed with the company, with the work they did, with everyone I interacted with, and will definitely use them again and refer them.

We have an extremely large overgrown laurel hedge that needed some serious work. Ascent Tree & Yard Care LLC gave us a fair estimate for the job. They showed up on time and went to work right away. This crew was respectful, intelligent and very caring. They were so careful about everything. You could tell that they LOVE trees and plants! Our biggest concern was losing our privacy created by the laurel hedge as well as how the laurel hedge would look after some serious trimming. The foreman (Steve) came up with a strategy that we all agreed on. Our laurel hedge looks amazing now plus it will be much easier to keep under control each year. In these days of busy companies that sometimes never call you back, Ascent Tree & Yard Care rises to the top. They know what they are doing and really care about trees. I give them 5+ stars!!

The Ascent team helped us get city permits for two tree removals in our yard and trimmed a large pear tree. They finished the large job in two days and cleaned up both our yard and our neighbors (one removed tree was on property line), making them very happy. Their price was the lowest of 4 quotes we received. Very happy with Franklin, Steve, and the crew!

Ascent gave us a quote well below two other companies, performed the work as soon as we received a permit from the city, and left our yard neat and clean. They also cleaned up debris from our neighbors' yard, which made us and them very happy. We were very satisfied with their price, work, and results and would hire again in a heartbeat.

Ascent gave us the best deal, were very easy to work with, and did an excellent job with the tree and hedge trimming. I would definitely recommend them.
Description of Work: Ascent Tree Service was hired to trim the lower branches and clean out deadwood from a large Atlas cedar tree in the parking lot of a neighboring condo building. We had had branches falling on cars in our own parking lot. They also trimmed back some hedges growing from our neighbor's property into our driveway

Estimated price was competitive than some other service providers, but not the lowest so I decided to give them a try and paid initial deposit before the actual service. No show for the first scheduled service time. Later on that day, Franklin text messaged me for the cancellation after I contact them first for status and rescheduled for the service. Second time they showed up, but crew was confused which tree to trim (estimation was not clear as there are multiple maple trees on the property). They did not perform the service and left, saying they are not going to do the job and will refund my initial deposit. Waste of my time.

The appointment for the initial estimate was kept right on time. I was given an informative assessment of what was needed in the area I was trying to clean up, especially regarding eradicating the ivy and protecting trees. The bid was a great price! I have had a number of arborists working on my trees in the past, and I was expecting a much higher bid. (In which case I might not have been able to afford to go ahead with the work). The crew showed up on time on the scheduled day. They all spoke fluent English and there was at least one knowledgeable person at the site all day. One of the gentleman spoke to me again at length about what further steps I could take to keep out the ivy. I had been told during the initial appointment how Ascent could help with this, but I was also given advice about how I could do the followup work myself. The crew worked most of one day, and I am so pleased with what they accomplished! What was an unusable part of my property is now an attractive, park-like area where I can walk around comfortably and play ball with my dog. It took less time to finish the work than was predicted during the first appointment, and believe it or not, Ascent actually reduced the bill accordingly! I don't recall any other landscape company ever reducing the bill after I had initially agreed to pay a larger amount! This is a terrific company! They are very competent, professional, helpful, and take obvious pride in what they do and how they do it. I have already recommended them to my neighbors and will continue to spread the word about what exceptional service I got from Ascent.

They have always done excellent work. It starts with the initial quote which is well thought-out and has always been very close to the final price with them often completing the work for exactly or less than the quoted amount and very rarely being over the quoted amount. After that, they are on-time to start work and conduct the work in a professional and clean manner. Once the work is done (and at the end of the day while the project is on-going) they always leave my place looking clean and tidy. And, most importantly, the job has always been done to the manner in which I expected it to be done. I will continue to use them in the future and certainly recommend them to others.
Description of Work: I have used Ascent many times over the past couple of years for various types of yard and tree care ranging from quick couple-hour jobs to much more intense multi-week projects.

I was told when they would be here. They showed up with a crew of very professional workers; a couple of trucks; and a wood chipper. Over the course of about 6 hours, they completely beautified our yard. They even took the initiative to speak with my neighbors regarding a tree that was more on their property than mine. I appreciated that, because I would have told them to cut it down (but the neighbors like the tree, so it stays!)

It was great! They actually took a bit longer than we anticipated, but it was worth it. They wanted to be doubly certain that our tree was not going to bounce back. They called another organization to come in for a second opinion. So nice!
Description of Work: We had an Incense Cedar that was not doing well -- on her way down hill. We received the referral to Ascent from one of the City of Portland's tree folks. (I reached out to them when they were in the neighborhood trimming some trees.) Then, of course, I immediately headed to Angie's List to get the full scoop on their rankings. I was very pleased. They were affordable, responsive, professional and just plain nice. Be certain to review the City of Portland tree removal guidelines. Thankfullly, the folks at Ascent helped me understand those requirements.

I used Ascent after a friend who has used them for several years referred them to me. I called for an estimate and heard back from them within a day. I found them to be responsive and punctual, and given what I have paid in the past to have this tree trimmed, reasonable. I would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: I have a very large beech tree which needed trimming. The tree is close to the house and has branches which hang over the roof. The tree was also spreading out into my yard and needed trimming back. I also have a row of large arbor vitae along a fence. I made some repairs to the fence which necessitated removal of one large branch hanging too close to the fence.

The key here is punctuality. Steve showed up on time for the walk through. He responded quickly with the bid. We scheduled a time and he and his crew were here on time. They worked diligently. They introduced me to the 4-man crew--all were professional, yet friendly. Without asking, Ward started to load the firewood in his wheel barrow and moved it uphill to the garage and unloaded it--very helpful! I just noticed they do yard work--I'll call them for that!Tri

Originally I chose Ascent based on a personal referral to clean my roof prior to house painting in August. They did an excellent job and cleaned all the gutters as well as adding filters at the downspouts. I hired them to do additional work on removing a dead tree and some shrubbery that was too close to the house. Again, their work was impeccable. We have been so impressed with their friendliness, helpfulness, and professionalism. They were always on time, called when their was a change in plans, and followed through with additional work that they recommended be done in the fall rather than the summer for the health of the tree. We were so relieved to see the heavy, bending limbs of our 100 year-old fir tree trimmed. They also cleared out dead branches and hanging widowmakers as well as opening up the tree so the wind could blow through, not against it. When they learned that I wanted to remove some miscellaneous volunteer trees and unwanted shrubs they withheld the bill for the tree trimming and made a separate trip to bring us current with arboreal maintenance. They clearly explained what was being done and why. We feel confident that our large tree is safer and space has been cleared for intentional planting. I would heartily recommend them for gutter cleaning, roof cleaning, and tree work. Dealing with them was a very pleasant and refreshing experience compared to the majority of home/yard vendors I've dealt with over the past 12 years at this location.DO: Take the time to think out all the work that you want down. It's more economical to do one large batch rather than several smaller visits. Listen to their recommendations regarding timing for pruning, e.g. late fall for fir trees.
Description of Work: Cleaned my roof prior to house painting in August. Cleared all the gutters and added filters at the downspouts. Cut down a dead tree and cut and stacked the trunk for firewood. Removed shrubbery that was too close to the house. Trimmed the heavy, bending limbs of our 100 year-old fir tree and also cleared out dead branches and hanging widowmakers as well as opening up the tree so the wind could blow through, not against it. Removed and disposed of the debris from a number of volunteer trees and unwanted shrubs. In each of three visits they cleaned up after themselves and left the roof, gutters, yard in better shape than when they arrived.

We were very pleased with their work. They kept us informed and were easy to work with.
Description of Work: We have used Franklin and his crew twice. In June 2011 they removed 2 large fir trees growing alongside (and starting to lift) our driveway. They did a great job, were efficient, and seemed to have good teamwork. The trees were cut in one day, the branches fed into a chipper and the wood hauled away. He came back another day to grind the stumps. We had Franklin return in September to prune a Japanese maple tree in front and to prune a large magnolia in back, which also involved elevating a neighbor's fir tree overhang.

We are very satisfied with them. The prices seems reasonable. He has his own stump grinder so the customer does not have to include the cost of rental. He and crew clean up the site, and are courteous to us, tenant and neighbors. They use proper tree pruning techniques and understand tree health.

We are the proud owners of a 70 yr old Oak tree, its huge and some of the limbs way up were dying and dropping into the yard. With young kids playing in the yard this was a dangerous situation. Franklin and his crew strapped on their gear and went right up, took care of all of the dead and dying limbs and even cut the dropped branches into log sized pieces for me to use in my fireplace. The yard was cleaned and left in great condition. Im very happy with his work.

I was a little worried because of the tree's proximity to my house and my neighbor's landscaping. Even a dropped branch could have caused some expensive problems. Turns out there was no need for concern. Franklin and his guys took the tree down in careful stages and there was no damage at all to the surroundings. They also ground the stump under difficult circumstances (it was on a steep slope above the street) and they did a good job of cleaning up the site before they left.

Franklin contacted the power company in advance to request that they disconnect the power line running through the pine. He and his crew worked quickly the same day to cut down the pine. He coordinated the timing with PGE to get the power reconnected in the mid-afternoon. Franklin and his crew came out the next day to finish the maple. We wanted to keep the firewood and he left us everything bigger than 3-4 inches and cleaned up all the canopy debris nicely. Franklin and his crew were very friendly and respectful of our property, even moving plants on our deck. Amazing work for a great price!
Description of Work: Franklin gave us an estimate to cut down a large 55 ft pine and a somewhat smaller big leaf maple. His quote was almost half of another estimate we got for the same trees! Since the trees were on a slope, we did not have the stumps removed. Franklin was able to schedule the work in about 2 weeks.

Franklin was great to work with. He was not pushy, and was very respectful of our property, and my time and schedule. He has been trimming and removing trees for years, and got into it with his background in rock climbing. His two crew members were apprenticing in the business, and did a great job. Overall, I was very pleased with the service, and have already referred them to friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: We had a very tall fir tree that was dying. It was 60 feet tall, very close to our home, and leaning. We were always nervous in wind storms that it would fall. The Ascent team came out to do an estimate, and were very accommodating in the time to take down the tree. Franklin, the owner, climbed to the top of the tree, topped the tree off, and roped down each piece of limb and trunk, all the way to the bottom. The three crew were very respectful of our property and treaded as lightly as possible with our established landscaping. They were not only very quick and efficient, but also did a great job cleaning up.
