STRUNK TREE SERVICE

The last time Strunk did any work for me was in the summer of 2010. They cleared a bunch of trees and shrubbery from a property we had just bought that had been neglected for 11 years. They also trimmed some trees. The owner was knowledgeable and did beautiful work for what I thought was a very reasonable price. Naturally, when I needed more work done, Strunk was the first to get my call. That call and a few subsequent calls were never returned. I have called them a few times over the years, most recently in the summer of 2014. I gave up after that. My neighbor used to use them and my sister used to use them. They both have had the same problem, where they simply don't return calls. I used to recommend them. Now I recommend that you don't waste your time even dialing their number.

efficient, neat, gave brief overview of all trees and shrubs in the yard as well and will be reutrning to do more landscaping work in removing overgrown shrubs and evergreens. Most responsive and best prices out of 4 tree services I contacted.

We noticed that the large maple tree next to our ingound pool had a slight split running down the trunk in between 2 large branches several weeks ago. We had several estimates down & Strunk Tree Service had the best estimate. We were trying to decide who we would hire to either remove the tree or fix the split & keep the tree. On Tues. 6/25 our area experienced some severe thunder storms with high winds. The next day my granddaughter & I were swimming in the pool when I mentioned the split in the tree to her. I went to show her the split & I saw that the split had opened wider. I could actually see through to the other side of the tree. The next strong wind & half the tree would have fallen into the pool & onto the patio. That scared us, so we called Strunk & some other tree services to come over ASAP to remove the tree. Strunk was the only Tree Service to call us back on Thurs. 6/27 & told us they would be out on Fri. 6/28 to remove the tree. Since they were the best estimate & they responded right away we hired them. They were very professional & got very little debris in the pool in the process. Since they had to go through a gate in a fence to get to the tree, they hand carried the removed branches & stumps to the street into the wood chipper. They cleaned up the yard beautifully just before another round of high wind thunder storms hit our area. I am sure if they hadn't responded so promptly that tree would have been the pool that evening.

We had to call them several times. It took them a while. The end result was good.

They cleaned up very well, better than anyone else had before. There price was the best I've ever had.

WHEN STEVE RETURNED THE CALL HE SAID HE WOULD STOP BY TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK AROUND 4, SO MY WIFE ARRANGED TO BE HOME FROM WORK BY THAT HOUR. HE DID NOT SHOW UP AND DID NOT PHONE. WE WAITED ANOTHER WEEK, AND CALLED AGAIN. ASKED IF HE COULD REFER US TO SOMEONE IF HE WAS TOO BUSY TO GIVE US AN ESTIMATE. THIS WAS ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO, AND WE HAVE YET TO HAVE HIM RETURN THE CALL. SINCE WE LIVE WITHIN A FEW MILES OF HIS BUSINESS, WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE CONVENIENT TO HAVE HIM DO THE WORK. STEVE WAS PLEASANT ON THE PHONE, BUT WE WON'T BE CALLING HIM AGAIN. (WE HAVE MULTIPLE TREES THAT NEED WORK, SO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH HIS TIME TO COME.)

THE TREES ARE TRIMMED BACK PRETTY SEVERELY, BUT ARE DONE IN A WAY THAT WHEN LEAVES GROW IT IS NOT UNSIGHTLY. STEVE KNOWS HOW TO CUT A TREE SO THAT IT DOESN'T GROW IN & LOOK UGLY. IT TAKES A FEW EXTRA WEEKS TO WAIT FOR HIS SERVICE. WEATHER FACTORS CAN PUT HIM BEHIND SCHEDULE. HE IS PROFESSIONAL WITH GOOD EQUIPMENT AND GETS THE JOB DONE IN A TIMELY FASHION. STEVE REALLY SEEMS TO KNOW ABOUT TREES & OFFERS GOOD ADVICE.
