tree service
 + -1 moreIn my telephone conversations and in-person interaction with him, Mike was very pleasant and professional. He put our minds at ease in the midst of a stressful situation. He was extremely responsive even though we interrupted his holiday weekend. I would not hesitate to work with Mike, although we ended up using the tree service we have been working with for many years because (very coincidentally!) that company had been out just two or three days prior to the storm to assess and give us an estimate on some work on the very same trees damaged in the storm!
Description of Work: A huge limb from our giant silver maple came down in a storm and landed on another mature tree, crushing it and several nearby evergreens. We needed to act fast to remove the weight off at least the evergreens to hopefully allow them to bounce back. It was Saturday night on a holiday weekend and the arborist we usually work with was out of state, so I went to Angie's List to identify someone else to call. When I saw Mike Roark's name I recalled that someone had once spoken very highly of him. His listing said he was open until 8 pm and it was still a few minutes before 8, so I gave him a call and explained the situation. Mike listened patiently and said he would come out Sunday morning at 8:00 to take a look, and then go get his equipment if we wanted him to do the work. In fact, he arrived before 7:30 a.m.! He assessed the situation, suggested some possible solutions, gave us an estimate on the spot, and assured us that with the removal we had already done to free the evergreens it would not hurt to wait until after the holiday, which would obviously save us a ton of money! At the start of the first business day after the storm, Mike called to follow up. He had been thinking about the situation over the weekend and had an idea that would allow us to save a big branch on the tree that was crushed by the falling maple limb.

 + -1 moreA storm came through and knocked down a tree. He did such a poor job removing the tree that we had to have him come back a second time under the supervision of my son to make sure it was actually removed.
Description of Work: He removed 1 tree.

 + -1 moreMike first provided an on-site knowledgeable and objective consultation about trimming vs. removal of an older and very large/sprawling silver maple. His pricing is good for the quality of work and his expertise. He and his crew used great care, skill and safety in taking down the silver maple, to avoid damage to the house, utility lines, fence and other landscaping. They did a great job in minimizing damage to the yard and with final clean-up. Mike has done tree trimming for me before and I highly recommend Mike for advice on tree care and for tree trimming or removal.
Description of Work: Removed very large sprawling silver maple.

 + -1 moreWe are the head of our homeowners association so we hired him for this work. He did a fine job and the trees did come down but he was kind of hard to track down. We had to contact him a few times to come out. The work was fine but he was hard to contact.
Description of Work: We used Mike Roark Forestry Services to trim a few trees in the area.

tree service
 + -1 moreWe had a great experience with Mike and his tree removal services! We needed 2 ash trees cut down and 3 random tree stumps in our yard ground out. Mike and his coworker did a fantastic job; they climbed the trees and cut them down in sections, which was very important for us so the trees would not land on our mound system and potentially damage it. Mike's price is VERY reasonable and included everything - cutting, hauling away the branches and trunks, grinding out the stumps, and leaving the yard neat. We orignally found Mike on the Better Business Bureau website and joined Angie's List for a month to do more research to hire the right tree service busness. Other businesses we contacted could not match Mike's prices and professionalism. We are very pleased with the work he did! We heartily recommend him and will not hesitate to hire him again for any future tree work we may need.

 + -1 moreHe always discusses what he thinks is best with me. Therefore, we discuss what I think I would like to have done and what he thinks is best. I think his price is good but I never called other people in a long time because I have used him several times. I would use him again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Mike Roark Forestry Services Inc. for tree service.
