Zeb Haney performed this work. He consulted closely regarding the objectives for the work, which included improving a neighbor's view by trimming a large Cherry tree. He took the time to look at the view from the neighbor's porch and even had the neighbor take a picture with his camera from an upstairs window so he could see exactly how the tree was obstructing the view. Following this he set about trimming three trees, one large, one medium and one small. He's knowledgeable and responsive and takes time to answer questions and educate customers. Following clean-up, he took extra time to meet with my wife who had just arrived home even though he ended up having to basically repeat everything that he had already told me. He uses a sketching application on a smart phone to illustrate plans, growth patterns, etc. which is very helpful too. I think Zeb's a great resource.
Description of Work: Evaluated trees on a residential lot, trimmed three trees, and provided recommendations for additional trees to plant in the future.

While the work was done nicely to my satisfaction I believe I was overcharged. It took him 2 hours to prune my trees and the invoice was for $600, that is $300 per hour. While I did sign the proposal it never mentioned how long it would take him to complete the job. it only took 2 hours so I feel I shouldn't of been charged $600.

Response from Tree Resource
Here is what we agreed on as detailed by the following description of services: "Structural and renovation pruning of a magnolia tree located at the corner of the backyard patio. The OBJECTIVE is to restore the natural hierarchical branching structure of the tree by removing or reducing parts that have grown from broken/cut portions of the canopy. The overall shape of the tree should be round but all pruning will be accomplished through the selective thinning of branches as opposed to shearing from the outside. This will encourage the tree to look better with time and lead to less maintenance pruning in the future." The price attached to this task was $660.00. An agreement was sent to the member two weeks before the work was done. She crossed out other tree care services that were on the original proposal that she did not want us to do and initialed the above description right next to the price and signed the signature line. There was plenty of time for her to have this conversation before the work took place. The prescribed pruning treatment was done well and efficiently. And yet the member did not pay us. She wasn't home when the tree was pruned, so an invoice was left with her husband. He inspected the work and was given instructions on what to do/not do to help the tree grow well over the next few years. A few weeks went by and we still hadn't received payment or heard from the member that she was unsatisfied in any way. Last week she finally responded to our communications with an email stating as she did above, and that she considered that she didn't owe us any money - that for her the matter was settled. A second email from us was responded to with the threat of leaving this negative review if we didn't drop the matter. Now after more than a month has gone by from the date of service, the member has decided to leave a negative review as a punitive action. The fact is that we had her review the scope of services and very clearly agree before we even scheduled the work to be done. Our approach is not one of high pressure sales or time-of-service up-selling, but rather it is one based on a professional evaluation of trees and tree care objectives followed by prescribed treatments. We performed our terms on the contract and she has not. We strive to run this company in a very professional manner. One way that we do this is to have a real contractual relationship with our clients. This way there are usually no surprises. Most of the tree care industry does not operate this way, in fact- it is usually quite the opposite. We have so far been successful in helping trees and tree owners to realize the best possible use form their trees by working this way. If you are a member and are looking for professional arborists that do what they say they will do, we are probably the tree care contractor you are looking for.

Tree Resource has pruned our 44 trees in 2010, 2012, and 2014. Tree Resource is the only tree company to be trusted to prune trees properly. They use the ansi standard for tree pruning, use only ropes to climb trees(no spiked shoes), and do an excellent job of cleaning up after completion of the pruning. Owner, Zeb Haney, and his crew were very professional to work with, and were most willing to answer any questions that we had concerning the health of the trees, etc. I highly recommend Tree Resource as the best tree pruning company in the NW.
Description of Work: 4 board certified arborists from Tree Resource structurally pruned our development's 44 sycamore trees which were 20 years old.

Very knowledgeable arborist who provided a detailed assessment on a tree we were unsure of its longevity. Also verbally consulted on health of all trees on property. We later used them for pruning services and were very impressed with their work and the manner in which they provided the service. Will definitely use them again.

I'm very happy with the work that they did. It worked out very well. They're very busy so it's a good idea to be very patient with them in terms of timing because the calendar is filled up and you just have to be patient, but it's worth the wait. We've exchanged emails to set up the first part of it and nothing really happen there for while. They had misplaced the agreement that I signed and mailed to them so I reminded them. When he found it on his desk everything was fine after that.

No work was done as the contractor wasn't interested in fulfilling the Angie's List deal. He wanted four times the $199.00 tree trimming deal from Angie's List. They are the "used car dealers" of landscaping.
Description of Work: Bait and switch. When he arrived, he declared that he would not perform the desired work on the $199.00 tree trimming project. I wanted a tree topped. He said it was beneath him as a contractor to do what I asked. Whose tree is it? Mine of course. He immediately began the bait and switch routine declaring that for $800.00, he could make the tree look beautiful. When he saw that I wasn't buying his routine, he lowered the estimate, and then lowered it again as he was leaving. By that time, all I wanted from him was to see his truck driving away. I've read some of the responses this contractor provides to customers who complain about his service. "There was a terrible misunderstanding," "Customer was asking for too much," "We tried our best," and on and on. There was no misunderstanding, I wasn't asking for too much, and they didn't try to meet the Angie's List deal at all.

Response from Tree Resource
We are not a bait and switch company. The deal clearly says $199 for $400 Toward Tree Service. First we go look at the tree and hear the member’s objectives for tree care and help them decide what is the best way to achieve this through good pruning, and then we provide a quote. In this case, the quote would include a $400 discount. Now, this is what went wrong – This member would never, ever have gotten our company out to give him a quote to “top” his tree. He probably would never have contacted us in the first place. Once we were on site, we tried to find a way to make it work since he had already purchased the coupon but, the member “was asking for too much.” I would definitely say that “there was a terrible misunderstanding” and that “we tried our best.” What a waste of time for both the member and us. To other members that may be reading this review, here are some things you should know about our company: 1. We are arborists. We take care of trees. No topping of trees here folks. 2. Apart from deals and coupons on Angie’s List, we do not provide a “free” estimate. We usually get paid to give you unbiased advice on the most appropriate tree care for you. 3. We are not trying to be the cheapest company. Our prices reflect directly on the type and amount of work that needs doing. If you like your trees and recognize that good tree care is worth your time and ours, please give us a call.

They showed up many hours late to our first appointment. They finally sent me an estimate for the work much later then they agreed on and the estimate is outrages. I requested a refund, I have had the service done before and it was much less than this company wants for the service.

Hmmm. This is the second review from this member for the same deal. The first review, now missing along with our response, highlighted a couple of issues on our end - specifically that a promised quote was never sent out. The other review gave us a B grade overall with some negatives for the miscommunication. In our defense, the member has many, many plants that have been severely mal-pruned. I'm not sure what the member was expecting in terms of costs, but we try very hard to give out a price for work that is reflective of good pruning practices and not simply a low price to wield cutting tools.If the member wishes to use only their coupon value we will be more than happy to perform only that portion of the tree care that they wish to pay for.

Mick (sp?) initially came out to assess the needs of an old apple tree in our backyard. He went over his findings carefully and clearly and made recommendations. He followed up with an email including pictures he had taken and some links for additional information about the specific kind of apple tree he determined it was. He and Zeb (the owner) came out on the day scheduled for the pruning. They clearly explained what would be done, and got to work. They were thorough, careful, professional. When they were done they had me come out and explained what they had done and why, what their recommendations were for future management (another pruning in about 2 years to restore the natural shape of the tree) and additional action they recommended that I take (enlarging the area of mulch around the tree). They mulched what they had taken off and dumped the mulch in the most convenient place they could access with their truck. Mick offered to help move blocks to encircle the new mulch area (I declined on that - they had already done what they contracted to do!!), and he blew the entire back yard free of leaves (would have done the deck if I'd let him!). They were fabulous... Communication was the only issue - had to make a couple of attempts initially to connect, but once we connected, it was great.
Description of Work: Came out, assessed, gave estimate. Came back as scheduled to do the work.

I purchased the big deal and they were wonderful. They were just terrific. It was more than the $99 big deal price but I couldn't tell how much more. We have found them to be really pretty good. My husband dealt with them more but I know that he was very pleased with how punctual, informative and by how much they seemed to know their business. The quality of their work was excellent.

My understanding was that I was to get a "Tree risk and health assessment" valued at $125 (by Tree Resources) for just tax - Angie's ad was for "$99 for $200 toward tree service". How's this relate? All we got was a simple quote that told us nothing about our trees, just the work they would perform. The quote did not mention a $200 credit that I was expecting based on the Angie's deal. We hired a different service who spent an hour with us reviewing all our trees for free. Their take was different and more accurate than Tree Resources (specifically Silk Tree mentioned in previous section) - plus they reviewed tree health and appropriateness of the tree locations with us. This was what I expected from Tree Resources. I signed the initial SOW (assessment SOW) and emailed it to Tree Resources on 6/20. Finally after pestering them, I got a response back on 7/18 to schedule an assessment. We finally got our initial assessment on 8/15 after they changed our meeting time that morning. We got the work quote on 8/20. Not very impressive customer service. The Assessor showed up early (nobody home) riding a motorcycle - my wife almost called the police as she was alone when she came home and found a stranger wandering thru our yard. Assessor left for another appt. before finishing ours - my wife spent only 20 minutes with him. Never heard back from them again after they sent the work quote. Angie's list needs to take some ownership of the misleading ads that businesses can place.
Description of Work: For $99 Tree Resources only provided a simple quote for actually trimming some trees, nothing else - no pictures, no health assessments, no information about any of the trees. The quote made no mention of the Angie's deal. The quote provided included a $375 line item to trim a dying tree (a different service identified the tree as dying and removed it for us - the center of the tree in question was dead). Essentially I paid $99 to get a simple quote that other similar businesses provide for free.

Response from Tree Resource
The "Tree Risk and Health Assessment" this member is referring to was complimentary and was done by our arborist when he evaluated the trees. However, the member here purchased a Big Deal that would give a $200 credit from tree pruning work. Specifically it excluded tree removal. This is one of the only ways that we allocate time towards providing a "free" estimate. Therefore the member is correct that they paid $99 only to receive a quote. If members wish to have us on-site to provide advice for their trees we encourage them to pay for an evaluation wherein we do not have any other bias towards producing work. In the end, we did not do any work for this Angie's List member nor have we collected any money from them.

I had purchased a big deal for the service, and it went fine. Another similar service did not think very highly of them, and actually had the owner Zeb employed by them for a while,and then Zeb went off to do his own business, which is Tree Resource, which makes me question now, about some problems with Zeb's advise. He gave me some advise, and then the other place gave me some advise. I would hire them again. I thought they were fine, it just put little flags up about the difference in opinion. I have used them 3 times, and I would hire them again. They gave every effort,and other than him being on the phone all the time, instead of working, other than that it was fine. I thought the price was fine.

Job got postponed a week due to crew illness. On day of job crew got lost and was 1.5 hrs. late but did all the promised work and put in the full contracted day (6.5 hrs.). Excellent work, including disposing of branches I had pruned earlier. Excellent clean-up afterward, as well. Friendly, courteous arborists Ryan and Nick explained what and why they did what they did.

A large branch broke off our ornamental cherry, which was what prompted this consultation. This positive experience led us to sign on for the "two arborists for a day" deal. Ryan spent a full hour evaluating particular plant specimens for which we wanted work done. He answered questions and gave us a good idea of what would be required.

Zeb and the arborist that came out to do the estimate and pruning were very knowledgeable and professional. Our tree in the front yard was not growing properly and had branches going every which way. Overall we are very satisfied with the results. The one thing to be aware of is you'll need to be patient on getting the work scheduled depending on the size of the job. If it's smaller, my experience was, they needed to schedule it around other jobs in the area so we had a moving target on the actual day the job was going to get done. The tree was accessible without needing to have someone home so it was just a matter of keeping in touch with Zeb on when it might happen.
