We contracted with the company to spray our trees for spider mites. They have come out and sprayed twice; with the last spraying done this past fall. We have requested that they continue treatment in the spring and had another spraying scheduled for this spring. We were told it would be "closer to June when the mites are active". When we still hadn't yet been contacted or treated, we called them again in mid-May and were told they would be here "before the end of June". As of Thursday 06/27/2013, we still have not heard from them. The needles on my spruce trees are turning brown again and falling off due to the spider mites, again. I am going to find another tree service that is more responsive and actually comes out when they say they will.

After searching Angie's List for a quality landscaper, we noticed that Good's Tree Service was given an outstanding rating. I immediately made it a point to contact them via email to perform a small shrub removal service, and they were in immediate contact with me to send someone out for an estimate. That part I would give an A. However, 2 weeks after coming to give that estimate, we still have not received a price quote. Since that time we have had 3 more estimates from other landscapers, ALL of which gave us an estimate within 24 hours of their visit because the job was so small. One of them even gave us the estimate on the spot. I did make it point to contact Good's myself in that 2 week window and I was told I should be hearing from someone soon. That was almost a week ago. I'm sure the work these guys do is terrific based on the other reviews. My disappointment comes from still not having an estimate 2 weeks after their visit.

I got several price quotes and they were the best price, plus provided a professional written quote. Each time they come they leave a statement detailing what they put on the grass. We got a discount for pre-paying for the whole year. We have far less crab grass and weeds than we've had in the past. Really worthwhile service.

Good's sent Jason, Jeremiah and Ron to do the job. They were Amazing! Professional, courteous, worked efficiently, with skill and quickly. Even though the tree could only be taken down one way without damaging property or power lines, they did it expertly and with no difficulties. I would recommend them to everyone...and will. I called them and explained that we were waiting to put raised bed gardens in and needed it done as quickly as possible. They responded to my call for an estimate immediately and scheduled it in time for us to put the gardens in. This job was flawless!

Good's promptly came out to meet with us about the job after we called and provided a great deal of helpful information - we had read many good things about this company and looked forward to working with them. We corresponded with them after the initial meeting about some of the details and once they were all finalized we asked them to schedule the work. We followed up by email for several weeks but were unable to get any information about when they may be able to do the work. It was a disappointing experience.
Description of Work: We contacted Good's to have two large diseased trees on our property removed.

They did a great job on our place. We have this giant old weeping beech tree that covers the front of our house- we love it so much. We could tell Jon understood our concerns, he suggested a monitoring arrangement to ensure the continued health of this treasure and listened carefully to our complicated pruning needs, - 1-2 feet off here, 2-3 feet off there, just clear over the sidewalk, don't take too much off over the steps, etc. When Tony and (cannot remember the other fellows name) came to do the work, they asked detailed questions, making sure they understood exactly what to do. When I came back about 4 hrs later, they were just finishing up. The clean up was meticulous. They took great care to spare the cars parked nearby from resultant dust and dirt. They were happy and pleasant after hours of work on a hot day- playing with my dog, checking to make sure everything looked OK to me. Also, the woman who answers the phone is very nice- relaxed and friendly. The whole company is like that- relaxed, friendly and good at what they do.
Description of Work: Inspected and pruned large mature weeping beech. Cleared area under weeping beech of weeds, vines, poison ivy. Removed rose bushes and lilac bushes. Shaped and restrained large viburnums. Pruned large Yew tree for mowing clearance. Cleaned up debris, marked stumps for grinding. Stumps scheduled to be removed after PA ONE-CALL completed. Contracted for two monitoring visits per season to inspect the weeping beech for signs of pests /disease.

Due to some storms in the area, the company got a little behind on their work load. The job wasn't actually done until approximately a month after the estimate was provided. Overall a good experience and I would use them again.
Description of Work: The rep that came out to provide the bid for the job was very knowledgeable, in fact a certified arborist. We had two trees removed, four trees thinned out, and several large bushes shaped. They did a very good job and cleaned up after themselves.

We asked friends and neighbors if they could recomment a tree service that was not just in the business of "chopping down trees. Those we talked to invariably recommended Good's Tree Service. We called Good's for an estimate. We received a very quick response from Tony (an actual arborist) who set up a convenient time to meet with us. Although we were very disappointed to hear that our 8 trees were blighted & not all could be save, we scheduled to have work done ASAP, and that's what happened. Tony knew how important it was for us to get the trees down & for replanting to be done before our pool opening so he made the extra effort to have the job scheduled quickly in order to save the pool & surrounding area from any damage from falling debris. Then, upon request, he made some recommendations for replacement species of trees and also offered a referral to a professional landscaper for more ideas.
Description of Work: Diagnosed an infectious "fire blight" on our eight (8) pear trees. Evaluated which trees had to be removed (6) & which could be pruned, sprayed and saved (2). Inspected other trees (5) that were not pears but were causing us concern because they were splintering and losing limbs when strong winds occurred. Those trees needed to be pruned to allow wind to pass through. Protected other trees from contamination by not using the same saw blades on non-infected trees. Performed job agreed upon thoroughly, efficiently, and on time. Finished job in one day. Cleaned area thoroughly. Charged additional fee for performing a small extra cut on two small branches on a tree that was not included in original estimate.

We are very pleased with them. We were afraid that the tree that had a crack in it was going to die, but they saved it. They were very professional, and they did a very good job. Their price was reasonable. We will continue using them to maintain the trees. They came in a timely fashion. Everything was good. It was a good experience.
Description of Work: We have a continuing relationship with Good's Tree Care Inc. One of our trees was damaged in one of the storms. It had a crack in it, and they cabled the weak limb and saved the tree. They also pruned all our other trees, so the wind wouldn’t be a problem.

I like the individualization of the service and that they call to make sure I will be home to go with them when they come out to do the inspection.
Description of Work: They provide specific pest and tree control so that we don't have to use unnecessary chemicals. They send out someone to inspect each individual tree and shrub and only treats those things that need treating.
