Project was a large one and it was well organized, orchestrated and managed like a well-oiled machine. The crew was at our house for a day and half and got the job done quickly and well. We were very pleased with the outcome. Will def hire again. And we already have. Very pleased with their work. Professional. Punctual. Polite.
Description of Work: We had a number of 100-feet tulip poplar trees cut down from our yard. We had the stupa removed as well. Land was graded and grass seed put on top. Had two new tree/bushes planted and one dogwood tree planted.

They we're removing trees at my neighbors, I mention that I had one I would like taken down. They came up as soon as they were finished and took care of it. The owner even stopped by while they were taking it down:-) I would highly recommend using Arader and plan on having them do more tree work for me!
Description of Work: They took down a very tall tree right next to my home.

Our property looked better than it has in more than 15 years! They got every weed, vine and dead branch, cleared all the Poison Ivy and Virginia Creeper right down to the roots. We have used Arader for at least 25 years and would never bother calling anyone else. Chris is a great owner, manager and leader of his large crews. His tree work is unparalleled and, as a certified Arborist, he has provided us with short and long-term landscape maintenance and succession planning. I heartily recommend Arader Tree Service as they're the best in the business!
Description of Work: The Arader team arrived early and ready to work on what was already a blisteringly hot day. Everyone worked tirelessly and with a great deal of energy and precision during a day of tedious, monotonous weeding, clearing of vines, hedge trimming (450') and clean-up of debris.

I had 4 companies out for estimates to remove two tall hemlocks and trim our neighbors tree that was on the roof of the house we just purchased. Based on first impressions, professionalism (1 other company was late, one was very rushed and the other was a no-show) and the fact that their quote was $500+ lower than the competitors, I went with Arader. Jay was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable and I have and will continue to recommend him/Arader. Very pleased!!

They were very prompt and came right after the storm and were considerably cheaper, like $800.00 cheaper than other quotes. They did a great job and did just as I wanted them to and they met my expectations.

They have all necessary equipment, and competent workers. They provided protectors so no turf was ever damaged. They protected the auto and pedestrian traffic along with keeping everything under control. There were no interference to anyone's property, and left no residue.
Description of Work: We used the company three times to remove trees and take tree down. They were prompt and provided good services. The first time they trimmed a large tree, the second time they removed a property line tree and the third time they took down a large pin oak tree and took out the trunk. That tree was over 80 feet tall. They cleaned up all messes and left nothing damaged. We have contracted them for over 9 years and would call them for future work as needed.

Frank Herz of Arader Tree Service communicated often and promptly via email to coordinate our new tree installation around a facade renovation of our home. On the appointed day, he arrived 1/2 hour ahead of schedule with two helpers, removed the old tree and tree stump from the tree well and planted a BEAUTIFUL Kousa Dogwood he found for us - all in one hour! This was a textbook example of thorough planning and scheduling to minimize the work time and maximize the result. We are thrilled with the work and the new tree.

Arader's estimate was the lowest, and since they had good reviews, we decided to have them do the work. Three men did the job. One had to climb the tree and lower the heavy branches by rope so that they wouldn't fall in the wildflower meadow about 12 ft from the tree. The other two guided the branches to a good location where they wouldn't do damage. All three men cleared the yard, ground the wood, and filled the holes where heavy branches had gouged the grass. The next day Shawn stopped by with grass seed for those bare areas. They did a fantastic job!
Description of Work: We had a very tall sycamore that was leaning. Much of the lower trunk had rotted, leaving a gaping hole. We thought it best to remove the tree before it fell in a storm. We had Arader leave about 10 ft of the trunk so that we could grow vines to attract wildlife. They also removed several small trees by cutting them off at the base.

Chris's timely, reasonable estimate and professional friendly manner was why I choose Arader Tree Service for the job. I was not disappointed with Eric and his crew. They were hardworking, knowledgable, efficient and personable. They completed the job with the same energy and organization from beginning to end. A well oiled machine from the 1st branch that came down to the last chip blown from the driveway. I would recommend Arader Tree Service with out a doubt! Thanks Again!
Description of Work: Eric and his crew took down our 40ft sick Oak Tree. They also took out a hugh limb and cut back an over grown Wild Cherry Tree as well as cut out the dead wood of our Maple Tree.

Got three estimates. Arader was recommended by two of my coworkers and was the cheapest. Joe Hayden came out to bid and within 48/hrs of request we had a quote on the work that turned out to be exact. Arader brought in a huge crew for the multi-day job and Joe was there most of the time to oversee. Used a bucket truck and boom crane to take out 100ft+ oak. Used free climbers to take down trees in forested area of back lot. Used a bobcat to drag debris to front lot and load onto logging truck. The operation was so big that all of my neighbors came out to watch. There was no damage to any structures, vehicles, or any trees that were not to be taken down. Crew was pleasant and worked efficiently. After completion they cleaned up their tread marks and damage to the yard and planted grass. I will use them again for tree work and landscaping. Highly recommend.
Description of Work: Removal of massive 100ft oak tree, 4 tulip poplars, 2 maples, stumps gound, wood and debris moved. Clear a section of our backlot of brush, debris, and samplings. Plant grass on completion.

Bill O'Toole from Arader suggested that we reduce and lighten the ends of many of the limbs, install two thru rods in the main truck, and install four support cables in the upper canopy to help prevent main limb and trunk failure. In April, a crew of four arrived with a tall cherry picker. Over the next 7 hours, the crew chief removed and lightened many of the limbs, asking me frequently for suggestions. Then, instead of 4 cables, he ran 6 cables between heavier, stronger inner limbs and those extending out over the street or the house. He then started to drill through the trunck to drive in long, stabilizing rods. His drill frequently became stuck. After two hours of trying, he promised to return the next day with better drill bits. The end result was it took two more visits for the 2 holes to be drilled and the rods inserted. I was not charged for the additional cables run or the extra time it took for the rods to be inserted. The crews were careful, polite and clean. I would recommend Arader for their services. They are not tree cutter downers. They are tree savers. :)
Description of Work: An aging maple tree in my front yard had me concerned. Two large branches had fallen lately during storms. One of these branches smashed the back window of one of my cars. I had two arborists come out to evaluate the tree. One, who also has a tree service, said, "Cut it down, it's old." The other, who doesn't have a tree service, said that the tree needed pruning and reinforcement. He recommeded three tree services in the area. I called all three for suggestions for helping the tree and prices. I decided to go with Arader Tree Service in West Conshohocken, PA.

He said they were very busy from the floods and trees down and he'd call me and quot;next weekand quot;- he never did. I called him the following week and left a message, he called me back on a Wednesday morning and said he'd be up that day around 12:30-1:00. We changed plans to accommodate. At 2:00 he was not here, I called. His administrative assistant called him and I was told he was still on the morning's job and did I want him to come later today when they finished. I stated I wanted a person who calls when they say they will call and come when they say they will call- he has none neither. He seems nice and maybe our experience is not his normal but I will be finding another person to do the work at this point.
Description of Work: We had Bill come to the house to give us an estimate to remove one tree and trim a second. After our basement flooded, we were unable to spend the amount to take down the one tree so asked Bill to come and only trim the tree.

We were very pleased with them and gave us the lowest bid. They also did a little extra work for us that we didn't have to pay for and they cleaned up very nicely after themselves. It was fascinating watching them work with their boom lift and they were extremely talented.

They are very good and I have used them for many years now. They are the best. I have been happy with their services. I don't know if they are more expensive than anybody else or not because I don't even bother to get estimates anymore. I just go straight to them. They guarantee their work for years. I pay whatever they charge me. I am sure they have a set price, but I don't ask for it.
