 + -1 moreThe work went perfectly. Kathy's bid clearly explained her recommendations for the work that needed to be done. On the day the work was scheduled, the crew arrived on time and worked steadily. They not only took care of all the practical concerns (keeping branches out of the alleyway), but took time to tend the trees with careful small cuts and fine work on the smaller branches. The trees looked much better and have thrived since. The crew could not have been easier to deal with, and they left the yard spotless.
Description of Work: Our two cherry trees needed attention, both to keep branches out of the alleyway and neighbors' space, and to keep them healthy.

 + -1 moreWe correponded and they came highly recommended, but in the end, was not available for our project, evaluating and subsequently taking out a sick ash tree. However, I would definitely go back to them for another project, hence would recommend, but cannot give a score, since we did not go that far.

 + -1 moreWe contracted to have Out on a Limb cut down an approximately 80 foot poplar in my yard. The stump was about 4 feet in diameter. They did an excellent job working together (with precision) to remove the tree to the ground. Branches and lt;6and quot; were chipped and hauled away. The cleaned up the sawdust that had fallen in the alley. It was precisely what I asked them to do. I will use them again to prune another tree on out lot.
Description of Work: Cut down a large 22 yr old poplar. Piled wood greater than 6" in yard . Remaining was chipped and hauled away.

tree service
 + -1 moreI starting working with Kathy in 2006 and happily continue to use her company. I have 12 mature (50+ yrs?) firs and cedars on my 7500 sq ft lot, so it requires assessing and caring for the trees, but also taking care to protect the small house below. She comes out about every two years (this year was year 3 and therefore a little more and expense involved). Work was primarily safety pruning and cabling. Kathy had already been by to assess so that she could provide an estimate of the work; when she and the crew arrived for the work, she took me on a walkaround so we could determine priorities if more than one day was involved. When we were done, I left them to do the work. Any wood big enough for firewood were neatly stacked. Woodchips were left as requested. An additional note: in the course of doing the walkaround, an extra non-tree task was identified (untangling invading wisteria -- both old vines and new -- from a nearby deciduous), and I chose to have them do that as well. Although I knew this might be expensive ($80/manhour), most of the crew were certified arborists, and they had the equipment to take care of more efficiently and with least damage than my regular gardener. I was delighted by the result, saving a tree, and am motivated to keep the wisteria under better control.

 + -1 moreKathy and her two-man crew did outstanding work. A++. (We are intense gardeners and take the stewardship of our old trees seriously, so we are very selective about who we hire to prune the cherry and pear trees.) They arrived promptly as scheduled. We briefly discussed the scope of work (consistent with the previously solicited bid), then they efficiently and quietly began pruning the cherry and pear trees. Kathy is a clear and knowledgable communicator, which I deeply appreciate. We discussed the pros and cons of pruning certain limbs/branches on our large old cherry tree, and she was very helpful in answering all of questions. We trusted her decisions and respected and admired her workmanship. After the pruning was completed, they did a great job cleaning up. The quality of the work was outstanding and the price was fair. It doesn't get any better than that. I will recommend "Out on a Limb Tree Company" to my friends, family, and neighbors.
Description of Work: Kathy did outstanding pruning work on our well-loved and huge 70-year-old (approx age) fruiting cherry tree. She performed end-weight reduction to improve stability, and also installed a cable. This included removing dead wood and removing many branches hanging over or touching our roof. She was respectful of the tree, made clean cuts, and was very thoughtful about her strategy and work. Kathy, who is a certified arborist, also provided excellent tips about how to better care for our beloved cherry tree, its roots and its soil. Her crew of two men did a fantastic job of pruning our old pear tree by removing dead wood, and thinning/reducing the vigorous uprights. Their efficient work restored the tree to an elegant umbrella shape and also opened it up. In addition to careful and thoughtful pruning, Kathy and her crew diligently cleaned up all of the debris.

 + -1 moreI would say overall it didn't go as I expected it would. I had read good reviews on Angie's list before I used her services. I was definitely taken by surprise.
Description of Work: Kathy was out at our neighbor's house pruning their fruit trees and I went and talked to her about a laurel hedge in our yard that needed some trimming and pruning on couple trees. I told her I was happy to schedule an appointment with her so she could come to our yard when she had time . However, she was pretty responsive and said she could come to take a look right then. She did take a look and said she charges $75 per person and there's 2 people (her and a rookie as she described him). She said she charges a $300 minimum. She said she'd do the specialty trees and the guy would trim the laurel). I asked her how long it might take and she said 2-3 hours. They were prompt and started on time but she started with the laurel which was super tall and she got the height topped by the feet we discussed. But the rookie was completely messing up the shape of the laurel by chopping it to the branches and making big holes in our laurel which kind of acted as a screen between our and our neighbors property. When I told them about it they were pretty defensive and said it would grow back and there was no good way to do this. Anyways, despite that Kathy continued trimming the laurel too deep and I told her it wasn't going to be a screen any more and she curtly said she could stop right then if I wanted her to. That I found ridiculous because the laurel wasn't evenly trimmed yet and she wanted to stop the job just because I was asking her to not cut back too deep. The other guy at this point was just stashing away all the tree debris. So his services seemed ridiculously expensive. However, given we have stairs on our property I'll just give them that. Although our poor yard guy who in comparison is phenomenal only charges $70 per hour and that's for 2 people. Anyways, once the laurel was done in alittle over an hour Kathy moved to the tree by the house and as she was trimming it I asked her to let me know when the $300 or 2 hour limit was reached. At that point she didn't say anything but just picked up her ladder, stashed it in her truck and for the remainder 25 minutes the guy cleaned up while she put all the tree branches into the machinery that churns the branches into wood chips. I just stood there dumbfounded with her service. My 2 cents on Out on a Limb are as follows: Kathy did a good job of topping about 8 feet off of the height of the laurel which was definitely over 40 feet tall. I don't think all companies would be able to easily top off a 40+ foot laurel. However, aesthetically they screwed up the look of the laurel and the screening function it served. When I tried to politely explain to her, Kathy was unreasonably and unprofessionally defensive. She was very averse to any feedback and was minimally concerned about her attitude. Anyways, I wouldn't go with them again as we have a stunning yard that has been featured in the Seattle Times and I don't believe Kathy can prune or trim in a way where the aesthetics and shapes of the plants/ foliage is maintained. I gave her some suggestions on what she could try to do by not cutting back so deep and hard but she was averse to any feedback. And for all practical purposes she just packed up, took her check, and left without saying much.

 + -1 moreOverall it went well, although it did take some time before I heard back from her for an estimate, but she acknowledged that when she called. I think she actually drove by to see the job before calling us back, which is part of the reason there was a delay. Her estimate was half what someone else estimated, and she and her team were prompt and on time when she stated she would come. She also pointed out some ivy that was growing on a tree in our backyard that should be cut down (not a small task, it involved going at least 15 feet up the tree to cut the top part), and she ended up doing it without charging us extra. Overall we were very happy with the result.
Description of Work: They trimmed a large chestnut tree in our front yard, and removed a branch from another tree.

 + -1 moreAlthough it took some time to get someone to give an estimate and some delay in getting the work done, the work was done in a professional manner. This is a small company and the owner makes it clear that there is a considerable backlog in getting to projects, so the delays were somewhat expected. Kathy Holzer, the owner, gave good advice on what types of pruning (i.e. topping) are not desirable and what types of work her company will not do.
Description of Work: Removed medium sized cedar in a location that was somewhat difficult to access and pruned other trees.
