Will not consider using their service in the future.
Description of Work: I read a few bad reviews regarding this company on Angie's List regarding "showing up" but decided to at least get an estimate. The person I spoke to on the phone seemed nice enough but never came and never returned calls. We called 3 times to the company and each time they told us they would come out and give an estimate but they never showed which agreed with the review we read. I personally will never consider using this company again.

Response from Butch's Tree Service
Butch has been by your home 3 different times to look at your tree work that you wanted an estimate on. The first time you told him that you would leave the gate unlocked so that he could get into the back yard, unfortunately when he did go by there when he told you that he would, the gate was not unlocked like you said that it would be. He went by there 2 more times, but no one was home. He also left an estimate in your mailbox on April 7th. We have a copy of it. We apologize that your two schedules could not ever connect, but we did leave an estimate for you. Please read our other reviews to gauge a more accurate description of our company. Sincerely, Butch's Tree Service, Inc.

Visit was great and I look forward to using them again.
Description of Work: I had an Angie's List coupon with Butch's Tree Service. He came out to our property to look at the grounds first since the Groupon would nearly cover the amount of work needed to be done. He allowed me to give him my priority list and they completed round #1 to my wishes and fairly. I added another $250 worth of work to the initial visit and while they were here we went ahead and planned out visit #2. I plan to use them several more times.

They were prompt. They basically just took care of everything. They saw what the problem was that I was describing and they basically cleaned up after themselves. It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased and they gave me the service that I asked for. They were pretty prompt. They were right on time once we settled on a date. They got back to me almost the same day when I gave them the first inquiry. They were very professional. They had pretty good equipment around them. The worker that came around was very professional and he knew what he was supposed to do and he basically knew how to carry out the service.

Job performed as promised. Butch came out provided an estimate as promised, I noticed that he was having a special $99 for $200 worth of service, I emailed him and he said that he would honor it even after he gave me the original quote of $300 for the job, so he saved me $100. They came out removed the tree and cleaned the area and we were completely satisfied. thanks again for the professionalism and promptness in completing the job.

Butch and his crew were showed up on time as scheduled. The work was excellent, all large branches were neatly cut and removed from my yard. They even moved items on my deck away from potential falling limbs. Cleanup was excellent, price was good, and I will contract them again this spring for trees that need trimming.
Description of Work: We had a very large oak tree close to the house and deck that needed trimming. Many dead or dying branches hanging over roof and deck were removed.

I contacted two companies after reading their reviews on Angies list. Butch came in hundreds of dollars less than the other company and that was on top of doing more work. He arrived on time and his crew got to work promptly. They finished in about 5 hours and aside from the obvious tree pruning you would never know they were there. His crew did such an excellent job that I decided not to use the 10% off coupon I had. He even took down some poison ivy that I was concerned about. Thanks Butch.
Description of Work: Prune up 3 tall pine trees, cut down one medium sized holly tree and grind stump, remove large amount of brush from various places in the yard and in some case grind the stumps of those.

Butch was initially called in to give a quote on hauling away a large pile of limbs I had already cut from smaller trees in my back yard but I wasn't sure if he was interested in a small job. I called to check on his availability and he showed up that day (Friday) to give me his quote. After he arrived and I talked to him, and since he was a certified arborist, I asked for opinions and quotes for trimming two Bradford Pear trees in the front and two large crape myrtles in the back. He gave me an honest assessment of what he thought should be done with each of the trees but never pushed in making a decision. We discussed each tree and then I was given a verbal quote for the limb hauling and the other pruning. It was sealed with a handshake. We expected the work to be done the following week but Butch was in the area on Sunday and said he could perform the work. He showed up on time with more than enough equipment. The job was done professionally and the clean-up was superb. We were impressed with how he would get up in the tree to make his cuts but would periodically come down to check his work from the ground before preceding. We even walked over to another house we own to look at the tall trees there. No work needed to be done there, but we will use Butch again if we ever have any need for tree services.
Description of Work: Butch and his assistant hauled away the large pile of limbs I had already cut from smaller trees in my back yard. They also pruned two Bradford Pear trees in my front yard and two large & one smaller crape myrtles in my back yard. None of them had been trimmed and were in need of some work. The pruning was precise and left the trees looking much better. The cleanup was thorough.

I bought a Big Deal certificate to use, and in the month before the certificate expired, I called this company twice and left messages to try to schedule service. I received no response at all, and ended up contacting Angie's List for a refund.

Butch responded to my initial call within a day and showed up on time to view my property. He gave what I considered to be a very fair estimate for tree trimming and shaping. I have a fairly large yard and many trees. I chose to wait until the winter to have the service performed. He called two days ahead of our agreed upon time to re-confirm, and then again the night before. He and his crew showed up with two trucks and a shredder on time. His professional crew then proceeded to trim the selected trees and shape them. Excellent job. I will use Butch again.
Description of Work: Multiple trees on my property were trimmed and shaped. Dead limbs and branches were removed and shredded.

It took a while for us to align our schedules, but once they came out to do the job, they did it quickly and professionally, and left a clean yard behind. I would definitely go with them again.

We were in great need of some help for our yard both from a certified arborist and from someone who could do the necessary work for us. We found both in Bruce Pullido, owner of Bruce's Tree Service. I noticed the Big Deal which he offered on Angie's List and seeing how highly recommended he was, I purchased the deal. We could not have been more pleased with both the company and the work. Mr. Pullido came to the house shortly after I called him. We explained that we were interested in more work than was offered with the coupon. He gave us a very reasonable estimate including credit for the coupon, so we decided to schedule the job for a short time later. His advice was very good and much appreciated. For example, we were afraid that we would have to loose the tree which was being smothered in ivy. However, he advised us that he and his crew could in fact just remove the ivy and save the tree, which indeed they did. All of the trimming and tree removal was done beautifully and really opened up our yard to the sunlight. The crew was very pleasant, efficient and professional. They brought all kinds of vehicles and equipment to cover all the jobs. (Watching the process became a neighborhood event.) Mr. Pullido was on site most of the time and in fact did much of the fine work himself. The whole process took two long days and near the end the entire ground was covered with trimmings etc. but every piece was cleaned up and shredded on site He and the crew had done an excellent job from start to finish. The yard had never looked better. We will most certainly use this company again.
Description of Work: Butch"s Tree Service did a great deal of tree trimming in both our front and back yards. This included trimming high in the trees with a cherry picker and cutting out all of the limbs overhanging the house. Two old and damanged trees were cut down and their stumps ground. They also removed a large growth of ivy which had grown up the trunk of a tall tree. Mr. Pullido was very helpful with his advice and in explaining just how he would do all of this. All of the trimmings were removed and the entire yard carefully cleaned, raked and swept before they left.

We had purchased a Big Deal for $500 of work for $250. Butch was very pleasant to deal with but it took multiple phone calls to bring him out for an estimate, and did not return to complete the work despite multiple phone calls over two months. Finally contacted Angie's list to return the Big Deal voucher and sought another vendor to perform the work.

This was the first time I'd used this company. Very pleased with the quality of the work performed. Butch and his co-workers were professional, punctual and cleaned up the lawn of all the debris from the stump grinder. I would hire him again if I needed his service. Already referred him to a neighbor.

I called Butch about removing a tree stump and about 5 small/medium sized trees. He came by for to give an estimate within a few days. Since it was a small job, he said it may take a little longer to schedule as he would tree to combine my house with another job in the area (Norfolk, near Granby H.S.) Also, he only gave me a verbal quote. Nothing was written down. Nearly a month went by without any contact from Butch. I finally called and asked when I might expect him to do the job, he told me he could be by the following week to do it. True to his word, his team came by the next week and did a great job removing everything I wanted. They also did a great job cleaning up behind them. There was barely a wood chip in the area where they ground down the stump. And he also remembered the quote he gave me and held to it (although I would have liked to have had something written.
