tree service
 + -1 moreTo say the least, all the work was done extremely well. The white pine required a bucket truck, and Charley, who performed the pruning, was able to weave all through this huge tree and expertly remove dead and storm-damaged limbs. It now looks much better and is safer. Jacob, himself, pruned the two maples. He contended with a hornets nest in one and in the other tree, which hung over a barn, he thoroughly removed all the limbs that I hoped would be taken down. Having had tree work performed many times, I know that some would not have done such a careful job. The crew then cleaned up every bit of the debris. All in all, I was very satisfied with Jacob's efforts and impressed by his professionalism and attention to detail.
Description of Work: Jacob and his crew did selective pruning to three large trees.

 + -1 moreI called 3 companies (all were on Angie's list). One called back a week later, one never called back, Jacob called back the next day. I had an estimate two days later and the work was performed about a week later. The day the stumps were ground one was missed, I e-mailed Jacob and the stump was gone the next day. Very professional, I will use for all future tree pruning and maintenance.
Description of Work: Removed shrubs and trees from around the house, ground all stumps left behind.

 + -1 moreThey arrived on the day they said they were coming. Everything was done in an orderly manner. The clean up went smoothly and the trees looked beautiful. They had plenty of help and were done on the same day.
Description of Work: We were very pleased. All the trees on our property were pruned . Everything was cleaned up and it all looked great and you would never know they had come. I believe that the pruning help safe all our trees from Sandy which came in the fall. We also had our christmas trees sprayed as they were getting sparce and were lossing needles. All in all it was a very good experience,

 + -1 moreGreat service from start to finish. Received a detailed, itemized estimate describing plan for each individual tree (and choice of options where they applied). Jacob scheduled times to come out shortly after I sent back the contract and he and his team worked quickly to get the job done. We have huge trees and I was amazed at the size and quantity of deadwood that they were able to remove. And they cleaned up everything, including our sidewalks afterwards. Really impressed by the service.
Description of Work: Pruned eight trees, seven of which were street trees

 + -1 moreI have a row home so it was a narrow work area and some work was done over other's properties. They removed several very large limbs and cleared dead wood fromt he ramaining areas. They had to work around fences, garages, and all the power and other cables that run to several houses. They cleaned up everything. Jacob took the time to explain what needed to be done and left the decisions up to me. I wasn't able to stay home to watch the work being done. But my neighbors report to me. Everyone is pleased.
Description of Work: Jacob managed a VERY large boxelder tree in my back yard. Several large dead leads had to be removed. And lots of dead wood from the remaining trunks/branches.

 + -1 moreI contacted Jacob's Professional Tree and Shrub Care for an estimate to prune and shape several large trees. He contacted me within a day to provide him with some details on what I needed to have done. He then visited my home and inspected all of my trees and provided recommendations and a detailed estimate for the work that needed to be completed. I found Jacob to be very professional and knowledeable. I thought his price was fair and authorized him to perform the work. He arrived within a week to complete the work. I was very satisifed with the exceptional job he did. He was very attentive to detail, cleaned up very thoroughly and best of all, the trees look great. I plan to have him back to do some additional work in the future and would highly recommend his company.
Description of Work: Jacob pruned several red maple, cherry and white pine trees that had not been shaped and trimmed for several years.

tree service
 + -1 moreThey cut up the sections of the trunk that were left over. We cut up as much as we could but it got too thick. They cut up the thick trunk and they ground up the remaining. They hauled away all of their pieces. They ground up the stump. They did everything exactly as we asked them to. They were prompt in responding to our request for an estimate. Their estimate was very reasonable, which is why we chose them. They did everything exactly like they said they would. We are real happy with their service.
Description of Work: We had Jacob's come out to chop up a tree and grind up the stump after we lost the tree in hurricane Sandy.

 + -1 morecalled Jacobs Tree. Seemed nice and professional. I specifically asked that they notify me when they were coming so I could show them what I wanted done. They came out in the next day or so, but didnt notify me and ended up giving me an estimate for the wrong things. I called them back and told them this and that was pretty much it. I would not work with them again since they cannot follow instructions. Never offered to come back out and give me the right estimate.

tree service
 + -1 moreJacob and two other men arrived at 8:30am and worked til 12:30pm. It was a very hot and humid day, and it even rained off and on during the morning. Jacob and the men worked straight through til 12:30pm. My trees never looked so good. I was very pleased with the work. He explained that my trees will not need to be trimmed/pruned, etc. for several years. We also discussed my trees "filling in" the empty spaces. I would definitely call him again. I will definitely recommend him to others. He was very polite, informative, and answered all my questions.
Description of Work: I had some trees that were damaged during the October 2011 snowstorm. I contacted Jacob's because he was one of the highest rated tree businesses on Angie's List. He answered the phone on my first try. We discussed his coming out to see the trees.He arrived and checked four trees. He explained what he would do to "fix" my trees. Two of them needed "structural pruning", removing deadwood and thinning the crown to encourage the development of the proper tree structure. My other two trees needed a little more work. Both needed to be reduced and shaped to promote natural appearance. Remove deadwood and storm damaged branches. Elevate lower branches . None of my trees had to be taken out. He gave me an estimate which was better than I expected. I agreed to have him do the work.

tree service
 + -1 moreAs a result of the freak snow/ice "storm " in October 2011, our few tress were severely damaged and our backyard looked like a jungle. It was difficult to get a reputable tree service company to come to give us a reasonable estimate and work with us to do the important portion of the job immediately (safety first!), and save the rest of the job for another time. Jacob's came to evaluate the situation within 24 hours and we thoroughly discussed the options. Jacob's came to complete the agreed upon within the week, and did a great job!
Description of Work: Jacob's service evaluated the damage to our trees due to the freak ice/snow storm in October 2011, gave us feasible options to maintain safe conditions, and performed the services. Many hanging branches were removed from within the trees, many branches were removed from the ground and hauled away, and many large broken branches needed to be cut and trimmed.

 + -1 moreI called Jacob in November, after a devastating snow storm that damaged many trees, so I didn't expect him to come soon, though he did come within two weeks to give me an estimate. He didn't actually do the work until late January, which was okay with me, as there was no urgency. He did the work in one day except for the stump, which was removed in about 10 days. Everything was satisfactory. He was very pleasant to deal with and eager to please. I would certainly hire him again. I did not get another estimate, as he was highly recommended on Angie's List.
Description of Work: Jacob took down a clump birch tree, removed and ground stump, pruned and cabled a large maple tree

tree service
 + -1 moreIt went very well. Jacob was here for the estimate within two days of my calling--and he came on a Saturday. They were scheduled to come on the following Tuesday. That day rain was forecast for the afternoon, but they had finished their morning job early, so he called and asked if they could come early to avoid the rain. They came early and finished before the rain started. All in all, it was a very good experience.
Description of Work: The early snowstorm broke a huge branch from our neighbor's maple tree, a branch which was hanging by a narrow strip of wood, suspended in the air above our parking spaces, and leaning on the other end on wires and the telephone pole. Jacob and his crew managed to rig pulleys that prevented the branch from smashing our back fence once it was cut loose from the tree. They carefully cut the branches away from the wires. They also cut the wood into nice-sized pieces that we could load into our truck and take to a friend who has a wood-burning furnace.

 + -1 moreJacob came out to give an estimate for "fixing" my damaged tree. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He apologized that he couldn't get to the job right away but had a heavy schedule due to the October snowstorm and all of his repeat customers. I had absolutely no problem with that. He was actually out to do the work a week and a half later (and that time included a holiday and two weekends) - I thought this was more than acceptable. Jacob left a note letting me know exactly what work was completed as I was not home when he came. The tree looked better than I expected when the work was complete. I would not hesitate to hire Jacob again for any tree work that I need done.
Description of Work: Jacob removed damaged branches (from the unexpected October snow storm) and structurally pruned the tree.
