Lambert Treescapes LLC

Steve came to our home, examined the tree, patiently discussed the condition of the tree and told me the plus and minuses of the various alternatives. During the dicussion he did not attempt to sway me one way or the other and left the decision up to me. Once the decision was made he gave me a firm price and set a date and time to do the work. He arrived at the scheduled time and performed the job very well, His work was very professional and he left the work site clean, neat, and tidy. I would recommend him to anyone.

Steve arrived promptly at the appointed time. After walking around the house and discussing the work I needed done, he provided me with an estimate which I accepted and he was able to do the work that day. He completed all the pruning I needed done and thoroughly cleaned up the yard afterwards. He was very professional, conscientious, extremely hard working and as a Master Arborist he's incredibly knowledgeable. He was a pleasure to work with and the trees look beautiful. I'll hire him again to do more pruning in the fall.

We were extremely impressed with Mr. Lambert and would recommend him to anyone with concerns about tree and landscaping issues. We will be working further with him this Fall when he will return to complete some other work that we discussed but to wait the beginning of the dormant season. Mr. Lambert is a board-certified master arborist who is very aware of at-risk trees. He found two on our property which will be dealth with later in the year.

Steve arrived as promised at 9:00AM. He finished the job about 5:15PM. Very professional and well qualified. Overall satisfied with work preformed.

Overall, I am very impressed. Steve is one of the few master arborists in Washington state. He cares about the environment, trees and wildlife and ecouraged me to keep a large holly that i was considering cutting in case the raccons are nessting there. He also not only cleaned up all the tree branches, he invited me to put my cuttings from rhodedrun bushes (which were alot) and rose bushes in his truck which was additionally helpful. Whether I am done with racoon destruction remains to be seen. Hopefully, his cutting will discourage them from going on my one story roof. My neighbor had seen them jumping from the trees to my roof and back to the trees. I was relieved at his prompt arrival and efficient workmanship. We will see if it was also effective.

Steve is easy to work with and gave us great results. Before contracting he communicated very well - he helped us understand options, materials and prices for the project without any sense of pressure. He suggested a natural uncut White River basalt fit together rather than cut or preformed materials. He designed the project to fit our aesthetic and our current budget (and in a way that makes future enhancements easy to integrate.) Steve has an artist's eye and high standards, so even though this was a very modest project he took his time and optimized the look and feel, adding several 'grace notes' that make the bed really beautiful. Steve communicated clearly what he was going to do, how and when - and then he did what he said (including cleaning up at the end of each work day.) At each stage of the project he showed us the work, answered questions and gave us options. Altogether - everything you want when hiring a professional.

He?s professional, knowledgeable, and he has a quiet and detailed attitude. I got three bids for this job and Lambert was right in the middle. It took him a couple of days to get back to me but he came out when he said he would.

Overall - satisfactory. This is the first arborist I have hired. I think the cost to perform the quantity of work required to stabilze the Japenese Maple is somewhat excessive, But he seems to know what is happening with the tree, and so far things have gone well. We have agreed to have four additional trees thinned at a much lower cost per tree, (+/- $300/tree) including removal of trimmings and cleanup of the work area.

Steve was responsive, courteous, pleasant, personable and thorough. We are very pleased with the work he did and would not hesitate to recommend him or use him again.

It was great! Steve came by in the morning for a quote (the last of 4 I had scheduled in the past week). He seemed the most knowledgeable and gave me his honest feedback about what should/shouldn't be done to the trees. He gave me a quote, with the Angie's List discount (was mid-range of the quotes I received), and was able to start that day. He does all the work himself - no hiring of random contractors. He was extremely conscientious about making sure aesthetics & screening were maintained, as well as the health of the tree, which many overlook. He checked with me a couple times to make sure what I wanted was being done, answering my questions and providing expertise. I'm very happy with his work - he did exactly what I asked without making any of the trees look like they were hacked back, he cleaned up thoroughly afterward, and my yard has more light and space for the additions I'm planning. Would definitely recommend to others!

They gave me a good quote. It looked like a local business and was run by a father and son. They seemed to be honest in respect of doing a good job. The only problem with them was that they overestimated the work. They came out on one of the very hot days in the summer and this made the work much more difficult. I gave them water as well as bananas. I was just trying to keep them hydrated, as it was very hot. The guy who came out had to keep sharpening his chainsaw, due to the amount of work. They were there all day until 7 in the evening, and because of the conditions, were unable to finish. We were under the impression that they would come back and finish the job, but they never did. I had paid them the full amount, as it was a reasonable price. The owner of the company did, however, finally get in contact with me. He was very apologetic and explained the situation and why he was unable to finish. Since I had already gotten the job done, he offered to do some work for me at no charge whenever I need it in the future. I appreciated his honesty, integrity, and follow-up and I will definitely call him again.

Steve came out for a tree evaluation. He definitely made me feel much better about the health of three giant pine trees in my back yard. While he was there, he noticed a few young trees the previous owners had planted, where the roots were planted way too deep. He took it upon himself to free the roots so the trees would have a chance. Very great work and I'll definitely be calling him up again for help should I need it.

At the time of the estimate Steve offered a thoughtful discussion regarding the kind of pruning that would be both healthy for the trees and meet our needs in terms of light, privacy and keeping the branches away from the house. He did the work at a time when I could be home so that we could carefully select the branches to be pruned. He was patient, careful and informative. He spent a good amount of time doing the work, and his clean-up was thorough. I found him to be a very knowledgeble resource with a real commitment to his profession.

Steve arrived promptly at the agreed time and was very professional and knowledgable in all departments of tree care, identifying the many different species on our property and issues concerning the health of those trees due to mismanagement in the past. He identified a few trees in less than perfect health, and one tree in serious decline which he considered to be potentially a problem if not removed. We live in an Environmentally Critical Area (ECA) which raises numerous issues in terms of landcare management, and Steve was able to provide me with information on these issues and the processes involved. He offered to make himself available for any follow-up issues if required. I highly recommend his services.

Steve was exceptionally responsive--quick call back and quick appointment. He was generous with his time and his expertise, patiently explaining and answering all of our questions. He summarized the tree challenges we face and helped us understand some of our options. Not a small part of what he does is homeowner education. (Note: If you are just looking for someone to tell you what you want to hear, don't hire Steve: he is sensitive to a great obligation--to the health of a tree and to safety, as well as enjoyment, over its full lifetime, not just during the tenancy of an owner. I wish the previous owners had received and followed such good advice.)

Steve came out to our home in the early evening on 9/15 to evaluate what we needed to have done. We called him because of his qualifications as listed on Angie's List and the positive reports that he had received. He was on time, courteous, and explained what was needed in very clear terms so that both my husband and I could understand. There was one tree that my husband thought should be removed and Steve explained why it did not need to be and how it benefited surrounding trees by being there. He explained why another tree had to be removed--because of its very thin diameter vs. its height, it was a risk for falling down in a wind storm. He showed us how he would thin trees on power lines and the roof. He did the job about 8 days later. I was out of town and my husband was at school. When my husband came home, the yard was immaculate. Everything had been picked up. As he had promised, the trees he worked on looked very good. It would have been hard to tell where he thinned the trees if we had not known in advance what was to be done. He did a very very careful job and we recommend him to anyone. He gave us a 10% discount for being on Angie's list. My husband thought we got more than our money's worth.

Arrived on time and gave us an estimate. He shared his expertise and pruning strategy with us before starting the project. He was exacting and meticulous in his work. He removed all cuttings and thoroughly cleaned the work site. The work took 6-7 hours to complete and each tree was given careful and thorough attention.

Steve Lambert came on time and cleaned up all trimmings when done. Gave me expert advice on all our ornamental trees and did a great prunning job. (trees had not been pruned in many many years.). It was great to have a true expert giving advice on out trees. Would recommend him at any time.

Steve was very professional and efficient. We are very happy with the results.

Mr. Lambert arrived punctually for our initial appointment, gave me the estimate, and was back the next day to remove the 2 trees. He also disposed of the piles of dead branches I had already sawed off the trees. There was no debris or sawdust in the yard, and the patio under the hemlock was so clean he must have vacuumed it. Outstanding job!

It went very well. Steve is quite skilled, reasonably priced and professional. I will recommended him to friends in the future.

I large limb broke off my plum tree, I call several tree service companies the next day and Steve responded in a few hours. He was also able to come out that same evening to give an estimate and come out the next morning to clean up the branch and do additional pruning to prevent future branches from breaking. He was very professional and and knowledgeable. He helped me understand why the limb had broken off and what I needed to do to prevent this from happening in the future.

Some of the branches of a large fir were either on the powerlines going from the pole to the house or were close. My neighbor and I were concerned that the branches would eventually break the lines and more expensive repairs would need to be done. Neither of us were willing to climb a ladder and remove the branches ourselves, so I called Steve. Steve's crew removed the limbs of the tree and also removed some of the encroaching ivy climbing the tree. They left the job neat and tidy. The only evidence that they had been there was that the job was done very well. Excellent work.

The quality of Steve's work is outstanding. He is meticulous and exacting in his work. He has done many projects for us over the years and we have been more than satisfied with the results. We will continue to call on him. Steve is one of only two board certified arborists in Washington state. He genuinely cares for the health of trees and is extremely knowledgeable about them. I have learned a lot from him and trust his judgement. He is fair and honest and moreover, he is a nice person.

He is fantastic. He is a master Arborist. He was the first one in the state. He was so knowledgeable. He explained to me about the trees and how they grow. He answered all of my questions in a professional manner.
