They were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Maybe because they are a small company they couldn't tell me when they were coming or how long the wait was.

Andrew did a very good job at a very reasonable price. He scheduled the work quickly, and the trees all looked much better and healthier after his work. We'd certainly recommend him to anyone looking for trimming and landscaping..

Provider did not do a thorough job of removing dead wood from trees and did not thin to expectations. During job their bucket truck was not operational which seemed to limit their capability. Repairs to bucket truck were performed, in part, on the street in front of our house. I would only hire again if there was a specific task, ie removing a tree, but only after some serious deliberation
Description of Work: Trim and thin 12 trees.

The clean up was excellent. I would not have noticed, if it was not for the logs nicely stacked at the curb.
Description of Work: Mr. Gillespie squeezed me in between appointments he had schedule in my area. The same day I called. He was on time, professinoal and did not rush the appointment. I explained my concern about a branch (with 2 holes) that hang over my neighbor driveway that I want remove and the dead limbs in the tree. He explained in detailed the work that would be done and gave a two week time frame for the job. I called the office on 10-8-13 accepted their bid.

Andrew came and did an assessment of the viability of the tree - we asked that maybe the remaining part of the tree with the dead branches could be removed - he gave an estimate and came within - 3 days - great job prep and completion. We are most satisfied.
Description of Work: The top half of our forty foot fir tree had been sliced off thanks to hurricane Sandy - we had the fallen half removed but wanted to get a professional evaluation of the rest of the tree that was still standing. Andrew came and did an assessment and we went with his recommendation that we clear out the old branches in the lower part of the tree - done well and we are secure knowing that the tree is safe and sound and still provides privacy and a border to our yard.

The Gillepies arrived on time and performed the necessary tree work quickly and efficiently. They removed several enormous dead limbs from very high up in a gigantic sycamore tree. They were kind and courteous the entire time, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needed similar tree work done.
Description of Work: Mrs. Gillespie took the details of the service I requested, and was very understanding and cooperative, even though I am in Texas, and the work was to be done for my mother in Pennsylvania. The crew removed some enormous dead limbs from high in a sycamore tree. (Had any of these limbs fallen on someone, that person would surely have been killed.) They cut the tree limbs into firewood and stacked the firewood neatly. They also handled some other problems that did not relate to the tree service. These were kind things they did just because they were there and my mother is aged.

Great job. Neighborhood is still ooohing and ahhhing over the fabulous work.
Description of Work: We had three huges trees cut down and the stumps ground. Two trees were in the back yard. They used crane to lift partial sections of the trees up and over the roof. They did all of this on one day with 9 guys and at least 4 trucks! Amazing service. Left the yards spotless.Can't say enough good things about this company. Price was the best from all estimates and the work was superb.

Drew was willing to come back several times to speak with my husband and me about the job, and provide a lot of different suggestions that worked for our budget. This has impressed me in working with him over the past few years. I felt that he was responsive to our questions and attentive to the fact that there needed to be some flexibility as the job progressed, because we didn't know what was going to appear once the hedges were removed. He was concerned that without the protection of the hedges, that the neighbor's yard would wash down a small hill into ours. Once the hedges were removed, he stopped the job to call us and explain our options and costs involved. It turned out he was able to finish the job using existing stones to re-do a small retaining wall, and solved the problem at no extra cost.
Description of Work: For over 8 years, Drew Gillespie has taken care of pruning and/or removing trees for us, and because of his reliability, flexibility and good prices, we asked him to do a big yard clean-up and remove a couple of trees at our new house. While the yard is relatively small, it seemed like a big job to us. He regraded the yard on all sides, evened out deep trenches and pits, put new dirt down and seeded. He also removed several stumps, removed 2 trees, redirected several downspouts underground to ensure better drainage in the yard, removed row of very overgrown hedges, removed a layer of construction trash (broken glass, nails, roofing material, etc.), and generally tidied up the yard. In addition, he utilized existing stones to fix up and extend a small wall that had become grown over with weeds and bushes, and was very uneven and unsightly. Best of all, Drew took a lot of time to talk with us before the job about what we might encounter once the hedges were removed, stopped the job in the middle to check with us about options that we had once we saw what was under the hedges, and then finished up quickly and neatly. We are really pleased with the work that was done and the manner in which he works with us. We look forward to asking him back next year for planting, moving trees and other landscaping services.

He was wonderful and provided excellent service. He was on time and he had the best price. It was a great experience and he cleaned up after himself. I would recommend him.
