Description of Work: They came out and pruned my spruces, pagoda dogwoods, pear, and other trees on what felt like the coldest day of the year. All survived the cutting and thrived - they are healthier than ever, I highly recommend A Cut Above.

Description of Work: Contacted A Cut Above for an estimate on trimming two mature Norway maples. Their recommendations seemed to be a bit more intense than what we were hoping for. They recommended staking and tying the branches on one of our trees in order to support them better, which we did not deem necessary. Their services were more pricey than a competing provider, which we ultimately decided to go with.

Description of Work: Removed two trees and ground out the stumps. |It took a little while for my contact to give me an estimate, as they were very busy, but he kept in contact so I knew he hadn't forgotten about me. Once we agreed on the service it was performed very promptly and they did a great job.

Excellent work. They arrived when they said they would and performed the work very efficiently. Mike, who provided the original quote, was also the person in charge on the job. The work was done in 2 hours. Excellent cleanup after the tree was taken down. You could not tell that anyone had been in our yard working. I would highly recommend A Cut Above for the quality of their service, their professionalism, and the manner in which they did the work. They were not my least expensive quote but, based on the reviews that I had seen of their work, I decided to hire them and it was an excellent decision.

It took Mike and his assistant 2 1/2 days to remove the tree. They took great care with the very large limbs, not dropping a single limb in our neighbor's yard. We also did not have to have the power disconnected to our home. We were so impressed with the quality and care of the work that was performed. We have used other tree companies in the past, and not one of them left our property in better shape than when they arrived. There wasn't a single stick or wood chip found after Mike completed the job. Terrific work ethic and a top professional. We would recommend A Cut Above to anyone needing tree removed.
Description of Work: We had a very large dead Elm tree removed. The tree was located in the back yard, so the removal was complicated (powerlines, neighbors property, general access).

Mike was very professional when I received the quote from him. He asked me to give him the opportunity to match any other quotes that I received. I provided him that opportunity and he held to his word. I was not around when the tree and stump were removed. After I got home, aside from a pile of wood chips where the stump was ground out, it was as if they had never been there. Everything was cleaned up beautifully. They did a very nice job. I would definitely recommend them and actually I already have to a colleague of mine.

A Cut Above Tree service was recommended to us from a friend that lives in a heavily wooded lot. She had experience with several other tree services before she found A Cut Above. She explained to me there was a HUGE difference in quality and workmanship within the tree service business. I am so glad we took her recommendation. The day Mike, the owner, came out to give us an estimate for tree work, he spent a considerable amount of time with my husband and I explaining the types of trees in our yard and what to expect in the upcoming years. Mike and his crew showed up to do the tree work and were very polite and professional. Most of the trees that required work were surrounded by professionally landscaped flowers. I was worried about the flowers being damaged, but Mike and his crew took an INCREDIBLE amount of care and even though a large tree surrounded by flowers was completely cut down, no damage to the flowers occurred. After the work was done, the crew cleaned up and everything looked better than before. I found a Cut Above Tree Service to be reliable, trustworthy and professional. We will DEFINITELY be using A Cut Above again.
Description of Work: A Cut Above Tree Service cut down a large birch tree, re-shaped a large locust tree, cut down a couple smaller dead trees and trimmed several additional trees.

A Cut Above ~ an apt name for this company! It takes a lot to impress me and I was truly impressed. Mike came out for the consultation and was very thorough and informative. He stated that he might be able to squeeze me in with a job that they were doing a few miles down the road. On Friday morning, of the following week, they dropped of their equipment and left a message saying that they would be at the house around 4pm. They were held up on the previous job, but Mike called to let me know that they would be late. At Friday afternoon at 5pm when most people would be quitting for the weekend the guys arrived and set to work. Four trees were down and mulched by 8:30pm, they cleaned up after themselves and returned the following morning for the stump grinding. Again they were punctual, organized, neat and efficient. Other than 4 missing trees, you would never know that major tree removal happened. I thoroughly recommend them (and have already) and would use them again in a heartbeat.

We actually got a quote from Mike McLaughlin, owner of A Cut Above, last Spring. At the time his quote was a little higher than the other quotes we received but he mentioned to us that if we did the work in the winter months, he could offer a discount, We, therefore, decieded to wait and when I called him back in November/December, 2011, he honored his original quote and gave a winter discount. The whole experience in working with Mike was great. If there is one negative, it would be that he did not offer a Senior Citizen Discount or Angie's List Discount as part of the original quote. This was somewhat disappointing at the time but the fact that we could wait until winter and receive a Winter Discount turned out okay for us.
Description of Work: A Cut Above thinned out and shaped 2 very large Maple treees in our front yard and also trimmed the lower limbs off of numerous trees on our North property line. All the work they did was quite extensive and was done very professionally and beyond my expectation (which is a rarity these days). The clean-up was exceptional. A Cut Above also thinned out and shaped 2 large trees on our neighbor's property and he did an excellent job for them as well.

These guys were fantastic. They had the tree completely removed and all of the remains hauled away except the stump within 24 hours. While other neighbors affected by the storm worked for days to clear storm damage from their yards, the guys from A Cut Above had the right tools and the hard-working crew to get the job done quickly and professionally. By the time they had come back and removed the stump (completely ground up and removed from premesis) the area was clean, level and ready for replacement landscaping. Rarely have I seen folks work as hard as these professionals. I would hire them again in a minute.

A Cut Above Tree Service removed a 50+ year old maple tree that was completely uprooted and landed on our garage during a bad storm. They assessed the damage and offered a complete quote on the spot. Their priority was not only removing the tree in a timely manner, but also not adding to the damage considering the fragility of the structure. The showed up the next morning and completed the removal in one day, with no additional impact on our lawn or house. In fact, the two of them did more in that one day then the crew of six from a different company working at another house nearby. They also came after the ground had dried out to do the stump removal which because of the huge root mass and sod that was lifted was a BIG job. They also finished that in record time and left the site looking like they had not even been working. Their knowledge and professionalism was amazing and we will definitely hire them again.

The service was exceptional. He did exactly what he indicated that he would do, including maintaining a very clean work area. Nothing in the yard was damaged and he cleaned up very well. Additionally, in the wind storm, three trees were uprooted in our back yard and Mike quickly came out to clean it up before they damaged other trees. We really enjoyed working with Mike.

They called back quickly. Their estimate was double what everybody else gave me, so I did not use them. I think they are an average company that is overpriced. They were doing work on another house - it was really loud and was keeping the neighborhood up. I would not consider using them in the future.

Dennis' brother Mike? came out and walked us around the yard so we could show him what we needed. He told us about each of our trees, what he would do to maintain them, how we could accomplish some of that if we wanted to do it ourselves and then he gave us an estimate to remove a large Linden tree that had fallen onto another Linden tree, a buckthorn tree (very large nasty thorns), and a huge Hophorn or something like that that was leaning on the house and was infested with carpenter ants. He also ground the stumps on the Hophorn and the Linden. They cleaned everything up and you wouldn't have known they were there after they were done. They came on time for the estimate and came when they said they would. Because of the tree on the house and the other tree leaning on a tree we wanted to preserve, we didn't try to find the absolute cheapest person out there. We went with a recommendation, wanted someone who wasn't a hack and who knew about trees. We were very comfortable with our choice througout the process. We got another estimate that was about the same from a big tree company but A Cut Above had incredible customer service, so we went with them.
Description of Work: Took down a Linden that had uprooted and was leaning on a neighboring Lindon tree, ground the stump, took down a Hawthorn tree, took down a huge Hophorn tree that was cracked and leaning on the house, ground the stump. Trimmed three trees in the front of the house that had branches leaning over the roof.

Dennis does not have anyone working his office to answer phone. As was requested on his voice mail message, I left my name, address, phone number and description of the work I wanted done. Dennis returned my call promptly the next morning to tell me he had already stopped by the house and prepared an estimate! We had a slightly difficult time connecting via phone, as I was out of town on business, then he was out of town. Dennis let me know that he was going to be gone and we communicated via voice mail--he always returned my calls. We finally arranged a time for the work to be done. He called me to let me know what time he would arrive. He and his partner, Mike, were prompt and professional. He has well maintained equipment and used necessary safety equipment. They cleaned the driveway and made a very neat pile of the chips. Dennis even took the time to chat and answered my questions about the start of his business. Dennis has definitely "earned" by business and referrals.
Description of Work: I had a driveway full of brush/branches from an extensive hedge pruning. I asked to have the brush chipped and the chips left behind for mulching my flower beds.
