Description of Work: Cut down and removed (5) 80-100 year old Pin Oaks and a couple smaller miscellaneous Ash trees. The Oaks were close to 100 feet tall and hanging over the house. The crew did a first class job dismantling and taking down the trees. No damage done. We had the stumps ground, which left quite a chip pile behind, but that is not unexpected with trees of this size, so no objections there. Their bid was well below competitive offers but not so much so that it caused concern about their ability. They have done work for others on our street (heavily wooded) with positive feedback also. I would hire them again.

Don't waste your time calling.
Description of Work: There is a question on what did the provider do. It's more like what he didn't do. He gave me a price quote. He put me on the "schedule." Each week that they didn't show up I would call back. Each week I called, Tom said he would be out in the next day or two and I was on the "schedule." Tom would never call back. After three weeks of no service, I called again. Tom said he couldn't come out to do the tree service because it was raining out. It wasn't raining the days I was "scheduled." If I could rate lower than an "F" I would. This company was unprofessional when I told him I wanted off the schedule.

Very well.
Description of Work: Trimmed 2 very large oak trees in our front yard. Cut away dead limbs. Did an excellent job. They spent two days and brought several men to do the work. They showed up within days of when they said they would come.

Description of Work: I called on October 18, 2007 to schedule to have wood delivered to my home. Mr. Thomas told me he would be able to deliver the wood in a week. I waited a week and half and called again after he did not show up. Mr. Thomas said he would deliver it by the end of the following week. Again he was a no show, and did not even bother to call and let me know he would not be there.

The gentleman I spoke with upon first call was very responsive to give an estimate ($1500.) We had an estimate within 3 days along with a recommendation for more work that we had anticipated, which we gladly accepted. However, the company did not show up to perform the work on the scheduled day. They did not call to tell us that they had rescheduled us. It took me a week to get a call back. I cancelled the job. Very disappointing indeed!
Description of Work: We had a large branch fall from a tree on our property and felt the house was threatened by another tree was weakened by the storm. I also had a tree which had died on my front lawn that needed to be taken down.

First of all, we loved that tree and it was tragic when it fell, necessitating its removal. Second of all, it fell on a Wednesday late afternoon (5:45 PM) and it fell onto our BRAND NEW car. So when I called Dean Thomas at 6:30 PM to inquire about removal services, I was pretty shaken up. The woman I spoke to was really understanding and helpful and she relayed my message to Mr. Thomas immediately. He called me right back and came to the house to assess the damage and give me an estimate. Then he sent his 5-man crew over to do the work the following morning (right at 9 AM, when he said they'd be here). They very carefully cleared away the tree parts that were on my car and enabled me to move the car out of the driveway. Then they systematically dismantled the remainder of the tree. They were all very good-natured, professional, and polite. It was a pleasure having them here. I felt the entire time that I was really "in good hands" and they expertly put a bad situation "right" again.
Description of Work: We had a very large ( 75 feet?) silver maple in our back yard, one half of which split off and fell onto our driveway (and car) and was leaning against the back of our house. The crew came and removed the entire tree (the downed part and what was still standing) in about 6 hours. They cleaned all debris and will be returning next week to grind the stump.

I contacted Dean Thomas Tree Service for an estimate to prune two fruit-bearing pear trees in my back yard. They stopped by (when I wasn't home) and gave me an estimate over the phone within 48 hours. After I hired them, they were able to perform the job within a week or two (I wasn't in a big hurry). The worker who performed the job seemed to be courteous, professional, and knowledgeable about trees and how best to care for them. He pruned the trees, cleaned up the branches, and didn't leave a mess. I was charged $225 for the job, exactly as quoted. That seemed to be the going rate for this type of job.

We have used Dean Thomas Tree Service before with great results and I have to say they are two for two! I wouldn't bother calling anyone else. They don't mess around---get right to work and clean up like they were never there. They made a tough job look very easy.
Description of Work: Had a very old and very large Elm tree removed due to Dutch Elm. Not an easy location either----down a steep embankment with narrow entry.

I called them when they didn't show up and he said he wasn't going to show up because he was busy with another project. He should have at least called to let me know.
Description of Work: They came for an estimate and gave me an estimate. However, when they were supposed to show up to do the work they never did and they never called.

IT WAS A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH MR. THOMAS. HE RETURNED OUR CALLS FAIRLY PROMPTLY, SURVEYED THE PROPERTY AND GAVE US AN ESTIMATE IN A TIMELY FASHION. WE AGREED ON HIS ESTIMATE, BUT BEFORE WE COULD SCHEDULE THE WORK, WE HAD TO GO OUT OF TOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. WE WERE DELIGHTED TO COME HOME TO A YARD WITH NO DEAD TREES IN IT (NOR ANY TRACE OF THEIR STUMPS) AND OTHER TREES AND SHRUBS PROFESSIONALLY PRUNED.
Description of Work: COMPLETELY REMOVED TWO LARGE DEAD HEMLOCKS, INCLUDING STUMPS, AND THINNED OVERGROWTH, CONSISTING OF SMALL TREES AND LARGE SHRUBS, ON TWO SIDES OF THE HOUSE.

DEAN ARRIVED AN HOUR AFTER I CALLED HIS OFFICE. WITHIN 20 MIN. I HAD AN ESTIMATE AND LEARNED THAT THE CHERRIES WERE EDIBLE (AND SWEET). HIS CREW COMPLETED THE WORK OVER THE NEXT THREE DAYS, WITH THE BULK OF THE WORK FINISHED THE FIRST DAY. THEY RETURNED TO REMOVE THE STUMP. THE WORKMANSHIP WAS EXCELLENT. THEY SAVED OUR PINE TREE, AND THEIR MAJOR PRUNING OF THE CHERRY TREE LEFT AN ELEGANT TREE THAT WILL GRACE OUR LAWN FOR MANY MORE YEARS. THE TREE WAS OVERHANGING OUR NEIGHBOR'S DRIVEWAY AND THE BACK CORNER OF THEIR HOUSE. NO LONGER. IT WAS A RADICAL PRUNING THAT PRESERVED THE BEAUTY OF THE TREE. THEY TRULY ARE EXPERT PRUNERS. I WILL CALL THEM BACK FOR FUTURE WORK.
Description of Work: REMOVAL 15 FT. APPLE TREE, TRIMMING OF 20 FT. PINE TREE, MAJOR SHAPING AND CLEANING OF 35 FT. CHERRY TREE.
