They showed up when promised to remove the tree. Expectations were set that stump removal would be at another time, but there was more of a delay than expected. I called to follow up and asked for a call when it was to be done, but they did not give advance call and and just showed up. The work and clean up was fine.

I apologize you're stump did not get removed in a timely manner. Our proposals due read that stump grinding does not always occur the same day. Some weeks is as many as 3 to 4 days later. Thank you for choosing Absolute Tree.

Thank you for choosing Absolute Tree for your tree care needs. When removing large trees it becomes very technical. We also carry the proper insurance credentials to be performing in this industry to the higher standards.

They were timely, courteous and cleaned up very well after completing the work.
Description of Work: Cut down a large maple tree and ground the stump. They left larger limbs and the trunks cut to lengths for us to split and use as fire wood. The rest of the branches were taken away.

Absolute tree's arborist provided a competitive and accurate estimate of the work. They provided a highly professional 8 man team with two bucket trucks/chippers. The team arrived right on time and did an absolutely fantastic job with our trees. Abraham, the team lead, was extremely knowledgable about the work and advised us throughout the process. The team was professional, friendly, and did high quality work. They took extra care to not damage the property and they did a great job cleaning up. Thanks!
Description of Work: We had seven large trees 40 - 60 feet tall that required a significant amount of dead limbs removed as well as branches that were on our house.

My initially contact started mid-June or so and recieved a quote by 27 June 2017 (Japan time). Initially responsiveness was good and a technician did get out to my property to provide me an estimate. Unfortunately, this is where the piecemeal issues started. I asked for a quote for the tree removal with stump left behind then a quote for the whole tree removal w/stump removal. I received just the one quote of $1250 without the stump removal. I specified again what I needed and have yet to receive the quote in order to sign the contract and start the work. I did receive an email stating it would be another $200 to have the stump removed but no quote/contract so I could schedule the work. I also asked if they accepted American Express to which no answer was provided. I had to ask a 2nd time in a different email to finally get an answer. I am a Soldier stationed in Japan and my brother is renting my property in Alexandria, Virginia. My brother, sister in-law and four nieces and nephews just moved in early July 2017 so I wanted to get this tree out of the yard as soon as possible (my brother is also in the military). I informed the person I was communicating with at this company my status/situation but the response time has been terrible at best. I sent my last email on 11 July to no response to date. This is an example of our communication from most resent on 11 July to 29 June as I was waiting for complete answers to my original questions - "####, Do you accept American Express & when can the tree be completely removed? How long will it take? Does someone need to be present at the home when the tree is removed? v/r Angie's list member Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 10, 2017, at 8:23 PM, Ashley Davis wrote: > Tree was confirmed dead.

Unfortunately this customer is expressing time lines that don't add up with ours. From start to finish we have performed communication in a timely manner. The proposal was originally done one business day after the request came in. We have been in correspondence with this customer for the past month regarding this project. All emails have been reply to within two business days. The last email we received the customer did ask if we excepted American Express. And we answered back with an email stating that we do. We sense have not heard back from them. Obviously they are not receiving some of our emails for some reason. Why would we not want to answer emails with a potential customer? Ashley Davis

A tree fell on our roof during heavy rains in Annandale and Absolute Tree Service was the first to answer and come out right away to estimate the damage. They were there bright and early the next morning, and worked all morning to remove the tree. It was very complicated as the tree was partially on the roof and partially on another tree, with lots of cables and wiring around. I was amazed at their professionalism, and the hard work they did. I can't say enough about them! Ashley Davis was a great communicator, answering all my questions right away.I highly recommend this service!!!!

Absolute provided a well equipped, skilled and professional crew. They were able to safely remove several very large dead trees without damaging the other trees in the area. Once they were finished, all of the areas were raked, and stumps and brush removed.

Ashley and the team is extremely professional and follows through on what he says. Only issue we had was there was some damage to our gutters that occurred during the tree takedown, which we had to get repaired anyway. Ashley stated that AT would compensate us for that damage once we get an estimate.

Absolute Tree called me almost as soon as I purchased the Angie's List deal they offered. When I specified what I wanted done, they sent me a proposal with what it would cost. There was a bit of confusion over how and if my purchased of the deal is applied to the overall cost as they did not show any credit on the proposal. After calling them to clarified and an understanding of how it would be applied, they told me that someone handling the removal will call me schedule a date to have it done. They didn't call, one guy simply showed up on Saturday morning (fortunately, we were home) and used a remote control tractor to grind down the stump. Awesome job! Had it done in less than 30 min! We were totally amazed at the professionalism, the work and the time it took to do the job. Will definitely use Absolute Tree again for any tree work we need done.

Everything was what I was expecting and highly recommend Absolute Tree.
Description of Work: Michael Todd and Absolute team did a fantastic job. What I liked is that once they came out a detailed estimate along with copy of ctf liability insurance and business license was included with what was emailed back to me. It was easy for me to compare with other estimates I received; actually theirs was much better since it was more detailed. Cleanup was excellent. Setting up a time to complete the service was easy as was making my payment.

Overall, we were very pleased. The arborist/estimator (Mike) was very professional and helped me understand what needed to be done and even offered to cut ivy off bottom of tree for no charge. The team that did the work did an excellent job. They took all the wood with them and besides a little trash left behind, left things tidy. The only issue we had was when our service had to be rescheduled. Absolute Tree Inc main office was not very responsive, but Mike ended up touching base with us.

The crew arrived and went to work on what was a good sized job. They cut down the Cherry Tree, trimmed one back and removed a very large Oak limb. It took about an hour and a half. They were very efficient and professional. They removed all the debris from my yard and nothing was damaged during the work. In short they did a terrific job. This is the third time I have used Absolute Tree in four years and they have maintained excellent service at a reasonable price. I would recommend them to anyone.

The crew arrived on time and began work immediately. The crew consisted of 5 men, and they were all professional and courteous. I was able to talk with them through the entire job to specify some details of what I wanted to have done. The trees in the front were to be reduced, but I didn't want them to be "topped off". This crew knew exactly what to do and they worked efficiently and accurately - and meticulously cleaned up when they were done. By the time they were finished, my yard looked wonderful, and the two trees in my front yard look were beautifully manicured. I am extremely happy with the work.
Description of Work: I needed 2 large trees in my front yard trimmed back (including a large Bradford Pear) and several trees in my backyard cleaned up, including the removal of high branches.

They cut down a tree in my front yard. The best thing was that they were able to come when I wasn't home. They knew exactly what to do, where to go, and what I wanted them to do. The only issue I had with them was it was kind of lengthy of a time period of them first visiting and then getting the whole job completed.
