Brian and crew showed up on time and were active the whole time. I walked through the yard several times during the work and was impressed by the professionalism and work ethic -- as well as the artistry in pruning and thining. Unfortunately I missed the coupon cutoff day by two days and did not benefit from the discount. Never the less -- Brian and crew did a great job. Bill LaMarche

Elite Tree Care is an excellent company. Every question I asked about my bushes and trees was answered. Everyone was prompt, polite, and unobtrusive. Some companies charge you to haul away the debris, but Elite gives you this service in the price you pay. Not only were the bushed trimmed, but the ground around the bushes was cleared. Even a few large rocks that were on the ground were placed to make the area look like a garden. I will Definately use this company every year.
Description of Work: Trimmed and shaped 5 large bushes in front of my house that hadn't been trimmed in years.

I walked him through my property and gave him specific instuctions on what I wanted done. I showed him which trees I needed trimmed, which ones needing windproofing, and told him if it came between an Evergreen and a Maple, to trim back the Maple. He came out and started the work while I was not home, and when I came home I found that he had taken trees down that I did not want taken down. My propery is just not same now without the privacy of my large Evergreen trees. He broke things on my property without letting me know about it. I understand accidents happen, but he should have told me he broke my glass lights. Two of his workers didn't complete their job, and he told me he would come back and shape the tree that his employees left undone. I called him to schedule, I told him I just needed him to call before he came so we knew to expect him. He never called and never came back. He did however clean his mess before leaving my property.

When we left the job you paid us in full and we were under the impression your were completely satisfied. I can only say there is a mis understanding of some sort and my offer stands , if there is something we can do to make things right just let us know. Its been 3 1/2 years , I can hardly believe your just now leaving a review or making contact with us if things are as bad as you say ?

I had 5 enormous fir trees thinned and trimmed to prepared against a wind storm. It might seem expensive, but I am sure it is cheaper than removing a fallen tree that has crushed my house. This is the responsible thing to do. The crew was excellent...very responsive, on time, cleaned up perfectly, trained and knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, friendly yet professional, not a bother to any neighbors, and then he threw in the cleaning of my roof and gutters at the end as a bonus! This is my reasoning on why this was a great deal; tree care is not a luxury, it is for safety--much rather spend to have my trees healthy, my investment in my house protected, and my yard and roof cleaned and looking good than a midnight emergency call after a storm. Wonderful service.
Description of Work: Fir trees thinned and made safe for wind storms. Bryan was nice to give me an estimate on Saturday, then by the next Wednesday, the work was done.

We met with Brian on a Sunday afternoon and wanted to get an expert's opinion on why our 40 privacy trees were brown and dying. Brian spent over an hour going over each tree and plant, evaluating the health of each and giving us suggestions on what was needed to save them and also gave instructions on what to do if we wanted to take care of them ourselves. We found him to be very friendly, knowledgeable and low-pressured. We would use him again and recommend him highly!

The interaction was quite good. I was hoping that for the price one particular limb would be taken down. There was so much liability that he couldn't do it for the price. He was straight forward and I completely understood the reasons why.

Bryan was prompt, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I'm sorry that we are outside his service area, because it would have been a pleasure to be able to do more business with him. However, I do appreciate his recommendation of another company.
Description of Work: We purchased the arborist review through Angie's List. Bryan came out on Saturday afternoon and walked through our 1/2 acre property, even though we are out of his service area. His depth of knowledge was obvious and he shared a lot of advice on how to take care of the trees, from which ones should be removed to which ones can be cabled. And he shared advice on working with the county, and what they will expect. He also referred us to a local tree service that we can work with at our location.

Would I hire Bryan from Elite Tree Care again? Absolutely!!!
Description of Work: We purchased an older home during this past year and in doing so, inherited some tree issues on our property. Being that this is the time of year you address issues of that nature, I set out searching for the right "arborist." Angie's list gave great reviews for Elite Tree Care. Both with their services and cost. So, I purchased the $75 Angie's List Offer to have an arborist from Elite Tree Care come out and look at our property and advise what needed to be done. Bryan answered my call within 2 days and came out the following day. Not only did he arrive exactly at the designated time, but as we walked through he gave his professional advise on the trees I was interested in and also advised on other plantings. When I asked if he would give a price to complete the job, he proposed a very reasonable amount that we agreed upon and scheduled the work to be done the next week. Bryan and his crew arrived at the time agreed upon and immediately went to work. All work was done very professionally. They came to work and that is exactly what they did. Not only did they do the work that we agreed upon, they even cleaned up all the leaves in the yard.

Two-person crew performed the work. Crew seemed very professional and conscientious, and actually talked me out of some additional work that I wanted done (saying that it would create more problems later on). The work looks quite good to my unprofessional eye, and they cleaned up well.

The did a marvelous job, were professional and cleaned up very well. I am extremely pleased with the service and told Bryan I would contact him the year after next.
Description of Work: Bryan checked my 3 huge cypress trees for the wind sail effect and selectively removed branches all the way to the top to get rid of crossed branches and to allow open spaces between to keep the trees from coming down during our frequent wind storms. He and his crew also pruned an oak, some maples, a Katsura and 3 birch trees. He pruned my Dappled Willow bushes for structure and they look lovely now.

Bryan responded promptly to my request for a quote and was able to visit my house for a free estimate within the next several days. He was happy to answer all of my questions. Bryan and a team of two others arrived promptly two weeks later, as scheduled, to perform the work. They worked diligently from 9 - 2, on the trees. Only ladders / ropes were used, no spikes. The trees looked great when he was finished. The team was careful to clean up the debris, prior to leaving.

A few days afterwards, we had a big wind storm and several more branches came down. I contacted Elite Tree Service and asked them to come out and clean up. I asked how much that would cost, Brian contacted me and said they would do it at no cost since it was so soon after the original work was done. Quite professional in my opinion.

The same day I purchased a coupon for $400 from Angie's List towards Elite Tree Care services, Bryan from Elite called to schedule a visit to assess the job I had in mind. He then sent me a written quote by email and we scheduled the job for a week later. Bryan's crew completed the work on the promised day. Not only did they do an excellent job but they also cleaned all my gutters while they were on the roof. It saved me $150!

\We had an excellent experience with Elite Tree Care. Have already recommended them to a friend and will continue to use them in the future. Bryan is punctual, professional, and friendly. He and his crew worked through a heavy rain to complete the job...they did the tree cleanings and trimming, took down a dead tree, loaded up the debris and cleaned our and our adjacent neighbor's driveway. Very pleased!
