What I like about David is that, even though he is the business owner and an arborist, that he was in the trees himself, swinging from branch to branch (in a harness, of course) and directing the crew. The job was done very well, and our yard looks much better. He and his crew were at the house for 8 hours in total (at extra cost, of course). There is still another 6-8 hours left of work, and we will likely call him. What I didn't like is that he is just so busy! It was hard to find a time that he could come out to the house. I guess that's the price one pays for being good at one's job. Also, the extra treatment for our oak cost $450 (we were expecting about $350), and we need a couple more trees treated, too. So, the Big Deal was truly a deal - and the other stuff was quite expensive. Again - the price one pays for having lots of big, beautiful trees that provide shade in the summer.
Description of Work: David Williams and his wife came to our house at least three times. Once, they came to inspect the trees. They came back for a second, more thorough assessment, and then came with a crew to do the job. They trimmed two large Spanish Oaks in our front yard, and a very large (48" in diameter) Red Oak and a smaller Live Oak in the back yard, plus some miscellaneous trimming. They also treated one of our oaks for insect damage (at extra cost).

Terrible. I was in a bind to get large trees trimmed before storms came in so called Angie's List to get the company's number and confirm they could provide the services within a certain time frame. They assured me they could, although it was the last day before the storms were to arrive. I purchased and here we are the day of and NOTHING! I have been calling and emailing since Saturday to confirm our Monday appointment and get an exact time set. They have not returned any messages. Now I am stuck! I can't find anyone who can come today and trim these trees. Now I will have to suffer the consequences of all the damage this could cause! This is extremely disappointing!!!
Description of Work: Nothing! They didn't show.

Response from D&J Arborist Tree Services
Hi (removed member name), as I look at our communication I saw that you purchased the Big Deal on June 9th, we emailed each other on June 10th and I said David could meet with you either Monday or Tuesday, June 15 or 16. I can't understand why on June 13th you state we did not show up. We could not have shown up because you requested us to meet with you on June 15th? I don't believe that I confirmed back to you that Monday still worked for David, although David did call you and left you a message. I am truly sorry that I dropped the ball with you due to your expectations not being met and any inconvenience this may have caused you. We want to help you with your trees and will be in your area this week. I will await to hear from you and we'll move forward with your request. We have been working 7 days a week for months and this weekend moved into our new office where I had no internet until today. Please allow us to make this up to you and work on your trees. Julie Williams, CEO

Mr. Williams is extremely knowledgeable Arborist. He was very understanding of my concern about loosing the tree and gave me some helpful hints about taking care of it. He showed me the insect that had stung the leaves and explained what would happen to the tree in the next few weeks after giving the tree medication. I cant say enough about Mr. Williams and his wife. They made me feel very comfortable in using their service. Although the cost was steep due to the fact that he had to travel so far from his home, it was well worth it to me. I believe he has saved my tree.
Description of Work: Mr. Williams diagnosed the problem with my red oak tree and treated it with medication.

David and the crew did a great job removing my three large trees. They did the job quickly and efficiently and never hitting the house or fence with large tree limbs. We had a little communication delay at first but things went smooth thereafter. Service took a little longer then expected I wanted to get it done sooner. But in David and Julie's defense the rain has really set them back so I can't hold Mother Nature against them. Good job and I would use their services again

Details are above. It went.well, despite that David wasn't here. His crew leader, Tosh , was very professional. He took time to explain every process. Great job. This bore treatment is good got 2yrs , also.
Description of Work: He treated a 100 yr old elm tree for borers and also a smaller maple tree for borers. This was done with bored in pipets of insecticide that are either in the roots or lower bark. He removed two dead trees and trimmed one remaking trees. I also had deep root fertilization done on the massive elm and backyard maple and 2 large trees in the front. There was a crew of 2 with crew leader Tosh, who were here from 9:op- 11:30 approx. they were very professional. They saw other things that needed to be done and assisted with no extra costs. The type of fertilization for trees require dripping into the deep root drip line to deliver an appropriate organic fertilizer , then the bore holes are covered with it.

A little disappointed because I was not informed prior but only got service to two hours (4 guys) instead of three hours (3 guys). Felt like three guys could have gotten more done in three hours. Some areas I really wanted trimmed were not. Going to have to hire another tree trimmer to finish the remaining work. The arborist was very knowledgeable and took the time to go through many of the trees on the property with me.

David and his wife were absolutely wonderful, very professional and very knowledgeable. David and his crew trimmed the trees very well and later installed this big strong cable to hold one of its big branches so the base of the tree would not split later on and then save the tree. Also, much to my surprise , you can not even see the cable since he installed it very well. We had called him to take a look at this tree since it is in front of our front yard and into the house, so a delicate location. We love the tree and don't want anything to happen to it. He studied it since he is a certified arborist he did the above to preserve it. Being a certified arborist it gave me the confidence to know he knew what he was doing. I will hire again without a doubt.

David Williams did a great job reviewing the trees, determining which ones needed trimming and providing feed back on future work. Very professional workmanship. I was super impressed with the debris removal. I spoke mainly with Julie and she did a great job with follow up after the work was performed.

ggI signed up for an Angie's List special promotion. Because of the rain and subsequent backlog, they were delayed getting to me. David and Julie, the owners came over on a late Saturday afternoon, which I don't think they would normally do, to give me my consultation. We walked the property and discussed what I was trying to accomplish. We reached an agreement on what could be done within the confines of the special. Their crew came out the following Monday and got right to work. Everything was completed in the allotted time! Even though pressed for time, the crew chief gave me a walk-around and explained everything they had done. I am having them return at the end of the month to do a deep fertilization on my largest tree. I highly recommend this company for top notch tree care! Gary Williams

Thank you [Member name removed] for being patient with us and appreciating our efforts to meet with you on a Saturday to provide the consultation. We look forward to treating your Catalpa tree in the near future. I know you love this tree and we can't wait to see additional recovery once it gets the nourishment from the deep root fertilizing. I shared with our crew your comments and they were very pleased to know you were so happy with their work. Best regards, Julie Williams CEO

This company provided excellent customer service by phone to schedule the service with consideration for our schedule. On the day the tree was cut down, they sent one of their chief experts and two other professionals to do the job. By the time I got home around four o'clock from work, they had carefully removed the tree flat to the ground (no stump above ground) and they were in the process of stacking the final limbs and sticks neatly along the curb. The city pickup service was already there using there mechanical claw to lift the short-cut logs and limbs into the haul-away truck. By about 5:30, everyone was gone, the yard was clear and even the roof had been swept of sticks and leaves left from the process. We are extremely pleased with the service provided and would not think twice about calling them for any similar need in the future.
Description of Work: This company removed a mature 50-foot oak tree from between ours and our neighbor's one-story homes. The tree trunk grew up two feet from our roof edge and six feet from the neighbor's, so we felt it important to use the most expert service available to do the job.

They came out on a weekend to do the estimate, which was outside their business hours (and was amazing customer service). They were also great about dividing up the work to a) prioritize the most needed work and b) fit our budget. They did a wonderful job on our trees and I'm looking forward to having them back out this summer for the third tree.

The final result is beautiful. I can't even tell that he did a trim! It looks natural and minimalist. The tree doesn't touch my house any longer and he did a nice job. He can be tough to get a hold of, however.

David and his crew contacted us and arrived as expected. They evaluated the trees and our needs and went right to work. They did an excellent job. David gave us a complete review of our trees health and additional care they required, but he did not pressure us at all to do more than we had originally agreed on. We truly appreciated the way he handles his business . They had to cut branches out of our very large mature Post Oak Trees and they took great care with completing all of the work. They had all the appropriate tools and cleaned up and hauled all the debris away. Our trees look wonderful and we are so pleased we hired these professionals to care for our trees. We would highly recommend them and will certainly call them again when we need to have our trees trimmed or cared for.
Description of Work: David and his crew evaluated our trees for potential problems, discussed our expectations and pruned our trees. We have 5 very large Post Oak trees that they pruned and cut all the dead branches out of them. They also trimmed other trees.

I have had arborists out before, but David is the best by far. We were especially concerned about a large tree off our patio which had branches hanging over our house. David and his team did a beautiful job on the tree. They worked on all the tress on my property. I appreciated that David has extensive knowledge and the work done on my trees was in consideration of their health as well as their beauty. We definitely will be using him for the care of our trees in the future.

I contacted David through the send message service late one evening and received a response the next morning. From there an appointment was set to estimate the job cost. David showed up at the exact time we had set for the appointment. He surveyed the trees and gave a bid on the spot. The bid was in my price range for the services and accepted. We set a day and time for his crew to come and trim the trees. They showed up as scheduled, got to work, finished the job and cleaned up the grounds. The area was spotless when the trimming crew left. David followed up by coming to the house and surveying the work performed by his crew. I would defiantly use them again when I need additional tree work performed. The entire process was seamless and all went exactly as described and promised by David Williams.

Very professional job was done by David and his team in every aspect. David arrived on time to do the quote and I was able to discuss our needs with him in person and even learned a few things about my trees (bonus that he is a Certified Arborist which I was able to verify). Received a detailed quote on the spot at no charge. After accepting the quote, he was able to fit us in within a few days and the project execution was done very well. Extremely pleased and the trees look fantastic! We will use him again in the future.
