Brandon provided the estimate. He was very professional, knowledgable, and friendly. We showed him what we were planning and we discussed options. He took time to walk around and was able to write the estimate on the spot. He reviewed his estimate with us, told us about timing to get the job started should we decide to move forward, and left his card for us to call with questions. The work started about the time he estimated. The crew did the work we expected and they cleaned up the three work areas. The stump grinding on the maple was about 10 to 14 days later, and I called to find out the timing, but the grinding was completed and the ground was level when the crew left. We would call on them again without hesitation.
Description of Work: We had three work areas. The first was to remove a Red Maple, including stump grinding. The second was to remove a pear tree, a lilac, and about 5 various bushes in between, including all stump grinding. Both of the first two areas included full clean up and leveling the ground. The third area was to trim two Pin Oaks. We needed to have the lower branches removed to raise the elevation to have about an 8 to 10 foot clearance. There was also a selective thinning out of the dead wood from top to bottom on both trees.

This was the fourth time that I hired Specialty Tree Service to perform the work. Again, they exceeded my expectations. I give them the highest recommendation. Great company, dedicated to customer satisfaction, professional and down to earth. They really listened to what I wanted the outcome to be and then delivered it. Great cleanup. I had excellent results on all four jobs they did for me.
Description of Work: I needed to get a pin oak and a red maple trimmed for the winter. I had big heavy branches that were waiting to fall. I also had a number a dead branches I wanted removed. I also wanted to see more blue sky out my back yard, so I asked them to remove all the horizontal growing big branches that were blocking the sky.

From the moment Brandon Ritz (part owner of a family business) came to the house, he was honest and very open to ideas to save money. To that end, he offered ideas to save money and reduce the amount of work at the site. If you need to save money, don't be afraid to ask for their best price, but also be open to their needs. We agreed that our job could be done on days when the crew had time "here and there" and that it may take a few months to get completely finished. That's the kind of thing you must agree to if you ask the contractor for a bottom-line estimate. In the end, though, the work was completed in one entire week of hard work. The worksite was complicated in both terrain and access. Brandon reached out to all of the affected neighbors before the work started and explained what the crew needed to do and to obtain their permission. The entire project took an entire week and the crew put in full days each and every day (even in the rain). They were professional and you could see the teamwork within the group. All of the crew members treated the property and neighbors with the highest respect. When the job was done, all I had to do was spread grass seed because they went above and beyond with the site cleanup (even though that was not really included in the job quote). I did request that the stump crew return for a few issues that remained, and they did without question and completed the requested corrections beyond my expectations. Of all of the contractors I have dealt with over many years, this is the kind of contractor that should wear angel wings. I cannot say enough good things in this review. Please do not hesitate to call and support this family owned local business.

Very professional on the telephone when I called to set up an appointment to come out and give an estimate. Came to the house and walked with myself and my aged father (who owned the property). Listened to everything we wanted done and made a few suggestions. When I received the estimate, it was for trimming everything the way we wanted plus an alternate for one tree to cut down and remove the stump instead of just trimming. Called to let them know which one we were going with and explained that they were backed up due to the weather. Contacted us a few days before the job to let us know when they would be out. Finished the job in one day. Excellent work! Exactly what we had asked for.
Description of Work: Trimmed seven large trees and a few pine trees on the property. Removed brush that had been collected from these trees during storms that was beside the garage.

Specialty Tree Service responded quickly to our request for an estimate. Estimator was professional, cordial, informative, down home friendly, and clearly explained what they would do, and clearly understood what we were requesting to be done. Estimate was provided within 24 hours. Date was scheduled for service. They arrived on time as scheduled and quickly, carefully and safely performed all work. Cleanup was excellent and they communicated nicely with my wife who handled the onsite work as I was unavailable to be there that day. We interacted with at least four individuals throughout the process, and all were friendly, cordial, professional and put us at ease at every step of the process. We are very pleased with the work and service by Specialty Tree Service.
Description of Work: Cut and trimmed large/ tall pin oak tree, cut and removed dead limbs from tall pine tree, removed leeds off two tall house shrubs and ground and removed 8 old stumps on our property.

I wasn't home when the trees were removed and they did exactly what was asked of them.
Description of Work: Had to have three tree cut down. I marked the trees where I wanted them cut and they were cut at those exact spots. We decided that we wanted to cut up the wood and keep, which helped with the cost. The fellas that cut the trees down did a wonderful job of cleaning up all the small stuff and removing it from the yard.

I found them on Angie's List. They wanted $300 to try and straighten it and $175 to remove it and ground the stump out. I am still considering it. They were very prompt, very courteous and right to the point. They gave me a good estimate. I would call them again.

The tree was removed within 4 days of my initial phone call. I was impressed with their responsiveness and overall care taken by the workers. Kyle arrived the day after my call, at the scheduled time, and provided an estimate on the spot. I really wanted to get the tree removed before we had the pool cover taken off for the season to make cleanup easier and ensure we weren't getting a lot of junk in the pool as the tree was partially overhanging the pool. They were able to fit me in and accomodate my schedule, even though they had other customers who needed work done as they knew I had a deadline and that it would be a more difficult job as the landscaping around the tree grew in more. The team of four people worked together on removing the tree. I was surprised at how quickly it came down. They were very careful to ensure that branches did not fall on things nearby which could be damaged. They did a good job of cleaning up everything that was left on the ground. I wasn't sure what to expect with the stump grinding. They said they ground the stump down 8-12 inches below the ground and then raked the area to re-cover it with the mulch which had already been put down. The price was a bit more than I thought it might be based on seeing the amount paid by other reviewers for tree removal, but the location of the tree made it more difficult to access and they had to take more care with surrounding landscaping. I didn't get to compare prices as much as I normally would have as they were able to get the work done quickly, which was important to me, so I don't have a good feel for how competitive their pricing is.
Description of Work: They removed a tree and ground up the stump. The tree was in a fenced-in and heavily landscaped area.

I am so happy that Specialty Tree was able to take care of the tree removal in our yard. We were originally scheduled the week that Superstorm Sandy came to town. I was kept informed regarding when they would be able to start the job. Excellent customer care. From the very first inquire via email to completion of the entire job, I was kept informed, with each step explained in detail. The professionalism and personal care was outstanding. We realized that we needed a barrier fence around the areas the trees were removed and stumps ground out. I asked if they knew of someone that could help me and the owners just took care of the entire project, making sure my dogs had as much lawn space as possible!!! The owners were at my house for the entire job. Everyone representing Specialty Tree Company showed care, respect, kindness, extreme proficiency and knowledge regarding the work. One shrub had branch damage but I really did not want to have it removed. I was told that I could wait to see how it recovered in the Spring. If I decided to have it removed, they would do so without charge! WOW!!! Very few companies offer to do that. I would definitely hire Specialty Tree again!!
Description of Work: Five trees and several large bushes removed, stumps ground out and topsoil fill in. Large Areas required seeding, straw. A temporary barrier fence installed to prevent my dogs from tracking mud into the house! A section of our privacy fence and gate had to be removed in order to gain access with the large equipment. The fence had to be put back into place after completion of work. Extra care was essential to prevent crossing property lines.
