Excellent!! If you had an A+ rating, I would use it for every category. All the brush was removed along with the fallen and cut down trees. Where the machine chewed up some of the grass, they spread grass seed and covered it with straw. It took 2 and a half days to do it all and the price was reasonable.
Description of Work: Needed brush and 6 large dead trees and numerous fallen trees removed from the rear yard.

Description of Work: It went well. Mr. Lamb's crew trimmed several trees and provided insight on several trees that are diseased. The work was well-done and the professional of Mr. Lamb and the crew was present. I will be using this service again.

Description of Work: This was the second time I had used this service. The first was perfect - they even stacked the wood of the tree they cut down! Second time I was somewhat disappointed. The equipment got stuck a few times in my yard - it was a wet Fall, and I'm still trying to get all the ruts fixed - they told me about this and that they had tried to fix them, but they didn't do it well. There were 2 very large trees (among some other tree/limb work) and much of the wood was not cut to agreed upon lengths. I had to call them back to cut about 15 6-8' length logs - which they did. Price was good, but reinforces that sometimes you get what you pay for.

I couldn't have been more pleased with the work that was done by the Lamb Team! They cleaned up all the brush, cut the wood and told me they would have another group come get it later; even if they don't, it is split so I can use it in my wood stove when the weather gets colder! Great Job Guys!!
Description of Work: I had a Gum Ball tree fall in the storm of 19 April 2013. The wind twisted the trunk of the tree about 3/4 of the way up and laid it on the back side of my roof. My neighbor behind me had him over to give them an estimate and I asked if Mr Lamb could provide me one as well. Mr Lamb was very professional and gave me a quote right away. I had another gentleman give me an estimate that was lower, but he also pointed out two trees in the front yard that I was told would need to be removed. Mr Lamb, who is an arborist, stated there were no problems with those trees and the dark bark at the fork was due to bark build up, not having been struck by lightning. The Lamb Team was on time, did the work that was quite difficult as they couldn't get equipment in to lift the tree off the roof and set it down; they had to run ropes through the neighbor's tree, around a tree in the front yard and use their truck to get the tree limb off. They was no damage to my fence, which friends and I had put up slat by slat and they put my wood pile back together when part of the trunk moved it.

Contacted Mr. Lamb's company, and it took him a few days to return my call. When I requested an estimate to remove three trees I receieved a detailed written estimate, and was provided references. I prefer this approach vs. the folks that cruise neighborhoods looking for business. Received two addidtional estimates from competitors and chose Mr. Lamb. He completed the contracted services and did an excellent job cleaning up debris. He did not damage any of the surrounding shrubs or trees.
Description of Work: Had three scrub pines removed from my property. Two were diseased and one was leaning towards the house. The company provided references and a written, detailed estimate (something other tree services often skip). Service was prompt and clean-up was throrough. Would use Mr. Lamb's company again, though he is rather busy.

He was outstanding and prioritized his projects, in which he came out the next day to take down the tree. Also, he was very efficient and his crew was very careful with the existing landscaping. In terms of punctuality, he came on the exact time that he said he was going to come.
Description of Work: I last had Ken Lamb Tree & Landscaping Company come out remove a tree that had fallen on my house. Specifically, the tree was 70 feet tall.

I have used Ken Lamb to remove a total of four trees on two separate occasions. My only complaint would be that the second time, I had a difficult time reaching him by phone after getting the estimate and agreeing to the work. I had told him that I was not in a hurry to have the trees cut down, so it wasn't that big a deal. He gave me a much better price on removing the trees than other local companies.
Description of Work: I had three trees removed. Two large and one very small.

From the outset Mr. Lamb had problems. His older truck (I think a 70s series) lost a piece of clutch linkage and caused delays until repaired. Then, he had a lady that wanted a tree moved nearby and he left my job site to move one tree causing further delays. Once the trees were transplanted I never saw Mr. Lamb again. I called him numerous times during the spring because the trees were exhibiting signs of stress. I left messages with his receptionist but he would not return my phone calls. I lost all 19 trees that summer and received no assistance from Mr. Lamb. Afterwards I talked with several arbors and professors of forestry at 2 Universities. All stated it is impossible to transplant whites oaks that have been surviving in a forest and that any arbor should have known so and advised me that the trees would not survive. Mr. Lamb gave very bad advice and I would not recommend him for transplanting trees. Should anyone desire his services to transplant a tree they should insist upon the survival of the tree for one entire growing season or a no cost replacement service in the contract.
Description of Work: Several years ago I had Mr. Lamb come to my wooded property and provide me an estimate to move some white oak trees located in the edge of my woods to a location along my highway frontage in Locust Grove. Mr. Lamb told me that he could "move ANY tree with a 7 inch or less diameter" with his Vermeer tree spade. I asked him what were the chances of the trees surviving and he told me "I have never lost a tree". Based upon his on-site assessment and advice I contracted Mr. Lamb to transplant 19 trees.
