Workman showed up right on time! They thinned 2 large Horse Chestnut trees that had been badly pruned in the past. All debris was picked up, chipped, surrounding work area cleaned and raked. Other than the trees being thinner you couldn't tell workmen had even been here. VERY pleased.

He took care of the hanging branch and cleaned up very well after the work was complete. They also sought other problems and took care of them. They explained and pointed out everything to me before doing the work. The neighbors even told us how impressed they were with how well Tree Resource solved the problem. I was so pleased with their work that I even hired them again. We had some narrow trees that had gotten so heavy after an ice storm that they had bent down totally to the ground. We had them come back and grind down the stumps that were left after my husband cleaned up the debris. They were the nicest, most personable people to work with. Everything worked out great and they did an excellent job!
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for tree services. Being in Seattle, we have very large trees that are at least 40 or 50 feet tall. One of our branches had started hanging over a neighbor’s property and we had Tree Resource take to care.

We moved in to our house about a year ago, and the trees had been thoroughly neglected by the previous owners. They were too out of hand for me to feel comfortable doing the trimming, so we sought the service of a professional. Zeb (the owner) came out to do the consult himself. The consult cost maybe $150, but I felt like we got a very through and unbiased opinion. It was obvious that the owner *really* likes his work, and is an utter tree n***. Geeking out with him about plants in our yard was really fun! A short time later, we received a document with the opinions from the consult and with all the trees on our property identified (super handy). I decided that I really liked the experience of working with Tree Resource so far, so we asked for an estimate to trim the majority of the trees on the property. I already had an estimate from another company, but the Tree Resource estimate was cheaper, and I felt that the knowledge exhibited by Zeb and his company blew the other guys out of the water. I was out of town for the actual trimming of the trees, but when I returned home the trees looked great! They didnt make any huge changes, but they cleaned up the trees, made sure they were no longer hitting the side of the house, and even cleaned up a ton of the pine needles from the tree in our front yard. The ground was clean and tidy after they left, and they even grabbed a bunch of the dead wood we had piled into the compost bin (they asked permission from my housemates before taking it, of course). I am beyond impressed with everything. They are experienced and it truly shows. They even wrote me a follow up email to make sure I was happy with the service. Good on em!
Description of Work: Tree Resource provided a tree consult for our home, an estimate on the services we requested, and then trimmed 8 trees that we have on our property.

Oh, they were terrific! First, Alec, the arborist, came and inspected the trees. They had grown to just under 15 feet and we have a height restriction of 6 feet in our community garden. The trees had been trimmed in 2011. Since then I've been angry as bugs and birds had gotten into the trees. Alec said the 2011 trim was done by an untrained person who cut off all the lower branches so the tree had nowhere to go but up. They were so tall we couldn't have picked any cherries if there had turned out to be any. The tree sap was oozing out of two fairly large wounds, the bugs got in there and the birds went after the bugs. There was no saving of the trees. I agreed and signed the contract. Alec came back and cut down the two cherry trees about two inches below the ground level and planted a peach tree in the middle that I had purchased a few days earlier. This sounds straight forward. It wasn't. I broke my foot and was ill. They were so patient. It took a month or more to coordinate with the company to get this job done. Tree Resource will be trimming the peach tree for years to come. I really like the office manager, Abigail, who coordinated everything and who was very kind to me. I had purchased the deal still being offered. $223 for $400 of tree services. Tree Resource gave me a free inspection, removed two trees, planted one tree; I didn't have to pay any more $$and had enough credit left to pay the sales tax. I'm a happy customer.

It wasn't a good deal for me because they didn't do a lot until I had to pay them extra for some other things. They didn't haul anything. For me, they are not a tree cutting service. I thought they were going to have a boom where the guys go up and cut the trees down like we see on the street. The type of service that they did was they have the guy with the rope to go up and trim down the trees.

They service went fine but they were not able to do the work that they were supposed to do and they ended up giving and estimate for future service.
Description of Work: This was a Big Deal for $425.00 for conifer crown cleaning. They ended up only giving an estimate to do some additional work on the tree and that was quoted at approximately $1,600.00. They did not honor the Big Deal.

Response from Tree Resource
The member purchased a StoreFront coupon for crown cleaning of any one conifer tree up to 125 feet tall. Crown cleaning as defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI A-300) is the removal of dead, diseased, detached, and broken branches. This is also clearly defined in the details of the StoreFront offer. Our arborist crew visited his home on October 9, 2013 and indeed did perform the crown cleaning, removing several dead, broken, and loosely hanging branches from the canopy of the tree. We noticed while performing this service that the member’s tree had sustained an upper canopy stem breakage at some point in the past, resulting in very aberrant growth of several very large diameter branches in the space above the roof of his home. We informed him of this potentially serious condition and provided a detailed written job specification to mitigate any risks to his home from this condition.

They were very responsive and came right out. There were some yellow jackets who had a nest underneath the tree which attacked them. So they were unable to do the work and recommended I get a pest control service for this. So I am getting this deal refunded.

They showed up on time, were very professional, worked quickly and efficiently, and recommended alternatives to topping additional trees. Great job.
Description of Work: Topped a large, double trunk tree and trimmed two smaller landscaping trees. They also evaluated several other large trees and recommended additional services, but we chose not to do them at this time.

They pruned both trees at least two feet from the gutter. They also hauled the debris to the shredder and cleaned up. There were two people present. They did what they said they would do and provided a couple of helpful suggestions (structural work on the cherry in two years and said the smaller dead undergrowth on the cherry was not worth the work to remove it and that some of it would go away any way after their visit). When I just mentioned thinking about removing one of the Hazelnut trunks myself later on, they offered to remove it and did so in very little time. Nice! I can't remember exactly how long it took but at least two hours, maybe more.
Description of Work: They pruned a weeping cherry of dead growth larger than 3/4 inch and removed the trunks of an overgrown hazelnut tree that were growing into the cherry.

They did an excellent job. Stuart was punctual in coming to give me the bid and then came out on another time on his own just to make sure he had all the details right. We were not in a rush to get this done and scheduling for a little over a month later was no problem. Stuart and one other person came to do the work. We were not home when they did the work, but if it wasn't for the fact there were no trees in that part of the yard + the logs we asked for, we would not have known they had been there. They did a great job and left the yard better than they found it. I plan on using them again for the rest of the items on my bid.
Description of Work: Stuart came out and gave us a bid on the many trees we wanted removed or trimmed. The plan was to select a few to be dealt with now and the others to be done piece meal in the future. I think there were about 9-10 in all that needed something. He provided a comprehensive list of everything we talked about with one option that was mostly removal and one that included removal for some and trimming for others. He provided good suggestions on how we could trim some trees to accomplish what we wanted and not have to remove the tree. They cut down 3 trees that were all taller than the electrical line in our back yard and did a major trim on the wisteria that was as tall as the trees. The trees were all growing very close to each other and the wisteria was intertwined with a couple of the trees. They took all the branches and small limbs with them and left us wood for the fireplace.

I have no complaints.
Description of Work: They removed a large, overgrown dogwood tree that was full of vines and had gone to ugly. We had originally thought we could have just the top removed and left the tree standing. The tree resource company showed me how that would look, pointing out the ongoing problem of branches growing out of the top of the tree, looking scraggly. They did a nice job, and I was able to see the improvement this extraction would make. Everything was cleaned up, the job well done.. They got it done..

Previously I have used a yard work service for tree trimming which was considerably cheaper and completed within a week of when I called. In general, I thought Tree Resource was rather pricey for the work they did (trim 8 fruit trees with $100 credit), but, as noted above, I had never used a certified arborist before. (Tree Resource informed me that my trees had been trimmed incorrectly in the past leading to poor growth.) My biggest issue with this company is that it took several weeks to even schedule an appointment to get a quote on the actual work and then a couple of weeks after that to schedule an appointment to actually complete the work. They then cancelled that appointment but then rescheduled for later that week. The arborist showed up on the rescheduled day but a couple hours before the designated time.

The service happened this morning and I was satisfied. They did some tree pruning on some fruit tree for me. It took them about 3.5 hours. It was nice talking to them and they were friendly. After the job they showed me what was done and they cleaned up everything too. This was the first time I have used them and I would used them again.

It worked out great. I liked their services. They were very professional and they did a great job. The tree looked very symmetrical and they did not harm it. It was a good service. I do not remember if we spent more than the price of the big deal or not. They came out to do the work probably within 30 to 60 days after I purchased the big deal.

I haven't been happy with the big deals. It seems that even though the deal implies that the work can be done in the time allotted on the deal, it always takes longer. It feels like a bait-and-switch game. I can't afford the amount it will cost over and above what the deal includes and need a refund. The company told me they don't like the way the big deals are presented either.

They had to re schedule the appointment but they let me know a head of time. They were on time for the appointment. The service turned out well and they were very professional. They first came out for a consult to explain and educate us about the tree growth. They explained the mistakes the previous pruners made. They also told me when it is an appropriate time to prune and what to expect. They were very knowledgeable and we were pleased with the service. They also helped me decide whether we should remove a tree or not. They told us that the tree was salvageable and saved us from removing

They did a good job however, scheduling did not go smoothly. They had sent me an email asking for my contact information even though I had submitted it already through Angie’s List. I had to call them to come out and give an estimate and they never showed up for the appointment, they did not seem to communicate my appointment. I finally had a date set and the night before, they called to tell me they had to re-schedule again. They finally came two weeks later and they came on time. The work they did was good but they are a little expensive.

Response from Tree Resource
Just a quick follow up to the members comments about the initial back and forth; Angie's List has had a policy for several months now wherein we must contact members through the AL message center and they do not forward all of the member's contact information to us initially. This is done to make sure there is a record of follow up between Angie's List, the member, and us. It is a little cumbersome and it will hopefully become more streamlined in the future. In any case, Thank you for the kind review. We appreciate your business and will do our best to keep improving the way we interact with our clients.
