Excellent!! Very nice guys to work with and very professional. Trimmed and shaped seven trees and cleaned up everything when they were done. This was the second time I have used them and will definitely be using them again. I highly recommend them.

He has a crew. We've been satisfied with them. If we weren't, we wouldn't bring them back. They're flexible if you ask them to help with some small things that have just fallen down. they never give you any trouble by pulling the branches out and running them through chipper for you, I live on a corner. I have a lot of trees. Some people have either none or almost none, so it's a big deal to me. They've just been easy to work with. These are tree cutters. They're many times not real, they don't stand around and talking to you or anything like that ut if you asked any of the fellas "come up to 233 Thornberry. I got some branches." They'll be up there tomorrow. They are professional.
Description of Work: They topped, trees, removed trees and clear some old fallen trees.

this is the second time I have used Nelson's tree service. Nelson and crew arrived on time and did the work in a timely manner. All of the workers were very polite. Everything was cleaned up. The apple tree is a work of art. Not only was it cut down, it was thinned and shaped. Unless one looks closely, you would think the tree had just grown that way. There are a few flowering bushes which Nelson was very careful to keep from being trampled. My hillside is now recognizable. I would certainly call Nelson again.
Description of Work: My back hillside was badly overgrown with yews, junipers, etc. An apple tree needed to be topped. I wanted everything trimmed extensively.

Nelson and his son came out to give an estimate on the job, but weren't able to do the work because the they didn't have a big enough crew to do the job. They were very nice and honest, and even told me that an estimate I had been given from a competitor was a good fair price.
Description of Work: I had three trees that I needed to have removed. The two trees in my uphill back yard were dead and/or dying and very dangerous and couldn't be climbed. The tree in my front yard was easy to access, but close to power lines.

He trimmed the tree perfectly. When finished trimming the tree he not only cleaned up what he had cut, but also cleaned up the yard by raking the leaves that were there before he started the job. He has also trimmed other trees in our neighborhood and has done an excellent job with them as well.

We have had Mr. Buys do work for us for about 45 years. We are now into the 2nd and 3rd generation of the Nelson Nelson Buys. The outfit is extremely professional, work at a steady pace, clean up beautifully, use NO offensive language. It has always been a pleasure to use Mr. Buys. Mr. Buys, 2nd generation, came by our home, evaluated the bush, gave us the estimate and said that they would be back in a couple of hours. He brought both teams to do the work because there was to be bad weather coming into the area in just a few hours. It took the crews 1 1/2 hours to trim, grind, remove the debris, clean up and go on to another project. We would recommend them to anyone and often do. They are spectacular.
Description of Work: Mr. Buys and his crew of 6, in 1 1/2hours trimmed, removed, and raked up after working on a rhododendrom bush that covered the front of the house. The bush was at least 45 years old. Mr. Buys left some very healthy shoots from the original so that we can keep the heritage going.

Nelson called the day before he was coming over, crew showed up between 7:30 and 8 and were gone in a couple hours. The trees look great, the big ugly tree is gone and the clean up was super.

I marked the trees to be cut down with yellow tape, I called, he went out and looked and sent me a bid. I told him the bid was accepted. He called a few days before and I let the residents know, then he cut the trees down and mailed the invoice.
Description of Work: I have used Mr Buys to remove several trees in many communities in the Pittsburgh area, East, West and South. He is the BEST. Very nice and does great work, The most recent time was to remove two pines between a parking lot and a creek. The only reason I could tell he was there was because the area smelled like Christmas!! He does a nice job and cleans up the area very well.

They were reasonably priced and did a good job for me. They were on time, courteous, cleaned up after themselves and did a good job. I felt the price was reasonable as one tree was 60 feet tall. I will be calling them back probably this week to cut another tree down.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Nelson F Buys III to remove 6 trees.

Everything went great.
Description of Work: A friend from work recommended Nelson. Companies I contacted never seemed to return my calls or e mails. Nelson came and gave me a written estimate and called the day before he came. I had 2 pretty large trees that needed cut down and everything went off without a hitch. I live in a very tight spot in Brookline and it took a lot of work hauling all the cut limbs down the side of the house to the front. He brought 4 or 5 men and the job was done in less than 3 hours. They cleaned up everything and even raked up the leaves in the backyard. Very nice and very professional, would definitely recommend.

The job went very well and they got a large part of the roots as well. They also did a great job at cleaning up. I highly recommend this company as they were very neat, courteous, and a job well done!
Description of Work: Nelson Buys was recommended to me through a friend. We talked about a particular time period to have the work done and he called me a little earlier than expected and I just happened to be at home. They were there very shortly after, removed the tree and cleaned up in a two-hour period and did excellent work. The tree was a medium-sized tree in my backyard that was starting to decay. The owner was very nice and we discussed having him do work in the Spring. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend his company to do the work.

I would recommend him. He shows up on time and cleans up after himself. He knows what he is talking about as far as taking care of trees. I am very satisfied with him. He brings enough men to complete the job.
