I'm really happy with them, they did a really good job and I'm going to continue to use them. I'm happy that the owner came out and didn't leave it to the technicians. He gave me some good advice because I had to replace a couple of trees. They also cleaned up nicely. Very professional and prompt. I used some coupons and was very happy with the work at a very good price.
Description of Work: They trimmed up some trees that I had previously tried to trim and was unhappy with the results.

I purchased a Big Deal coupon for $125 for $250 worth of services. This was the first time I purchased a Big Deal coupon. Everything went fine on site and I was very pleased with the work. It took a few calls back and forth to get some of the questions I had addressed related to the estimate, which totaled $350. I had hoped to only spend the amount of the coupon ($125) and would have liked to have the job adjusted to accommodate that. I felt meeting with the estimator when he came out to the house would have facilitated that. Unfortunately, he came out without calling me to coordinate (as requested) so I could be there with him. I didn't get cost comparisons from other companies since I had already purchased the coupon, therefore I really don't have any basis for determining whether I got a great deal. The person sent out to do the job was friendly, responsive to my question, addressed items I felt needed more attention (trimming) and hauled away all debris. The trees look so much better.
Description of Work: Trimmed 4 arborvitaes away from house, shaped up 3 arborvitaes that had been cut down below windows by family members and trimed branches of norway maple away from gutter/removed dead limbs.

The person in the office with whom I scheduled the appointment was very friendly and kind. They were able to come out and give an estimate without my being present. Unfortunately there was a miscommunication on the box tree in the back, so the estimate was incorrect for which tree. Regardless, the person at the office was able to let me know that an estimate would be given at time of service and I could decide at that time. She let me know it would be based on time. On the day that they came out, the gentleman was friendly and kind. He was understanding and great with my curious 3-year old. He was cautious with us at the same time. I forgot to take my car out of the garage before he started, but he was not bothered when I told him and he worked quickly to move the branches and help me get out. A second person came and the two of them worked swiftly. When they were finished, everything was cleaned up and everything was done as said. Regarding the tree in the back, they told me that it honestly took them less than 5 minutes to take care of it, so they were kind enough to not charge me for that work. I was so impressed with the work they did, the caution that they took, the clean up, their personable nature and being right on the estimate which was so well detailed that I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Removal of large crabtree including roots. Wood chipped and removed. Hole filled and seeded with grass. Took a look at a Box tree at fence line and cut down and put growth killer on it.

Obtained value coupon through email sent to us by Angie's List. Very satisfied with all aspects of the services provided. Didn't realize how much things would be improved by what we had done. The entire crew was very professional. There was one job that didn't appear to be done well, but when I contacted the company to raise that issue, the response was quick and the problem was corrected at no additional cost. They told me they were sorry to hear I was unhappy. I told them that I wasn't unhappy because when I raised the issue, they responded quickly and effectively. If they hadn't handled it that way, then I would have been unhappy. I have already contracted with them to address some springtime issues. Based on how they have performed thus far, I would have no problem in recommending them to others.
Description of Work: Multiple trees trimmed/pruned, root girdling removed from a couple trees, placement of mulch at base of several trees, some diseased trees were treated.

I called for an estmate to remove 9 arbor vitaes from around our deck, 2 really large arbor vitaes removed from the sides of our shed, a spruce tree in the front yard, 7 arbor vitaes along our driveway and trimming and treatment of the ash tree in the back yard. Jessie came out in only a couple days to provide the estimate and spent time with my husband going over each of the points. The estimate was broken out in sections so we could decide what work to do this year and what would have to be postponed until next year. My husband was very impressed with his professionalism. It took me awhile to decide what I wanted done besides the very ugly spruce tree in the front yard. We decided to remove the arbor vitaes around the deck because they had grown to the point of encroaching on the siding on the second floor because it protrudes farther out than the first floor. We wanted the two on the sides of the shed removed for the same reason. We decided to leave the arbors along the drive which Jessie recommended because he felt it defined the house and he was right. The ash will also wait until next year. After returning the signed bid we ran into a delay in the getting the work done because of all the storms in June and early July. This gave me time to decide to add more arbor vitaes to the removal list. The ones along the lot line were a pain because the previous owner also planted a row of buckthorns for privacy creating an annoying issue when mowing, dodging the arbors which were encroaching on the buckthorns. I called and spoke to Jessie's brother who explained those would be added at an hourly rate. He also explained they were very busy and was very apologetic. Having seen the damage from the storms in our area, we understood competely. When they crew arrived to do the cutting, it was at least 90 degrees. They would work for awhile and then take a brief break in the shade of their truck and drink water. I offered them a break in the house with air conditioning but they declined. They did accept a cold soda about mid morning. As they were working in the backyard, they asked me to come out because they wanted to be sure about some of the work. If they removed one of the arbor vitaes it would significantly limit our privacy. They said if I really wanted them to take it out, they would, but thought it should stay. They were right and I greatly appreciate that they asked before plowing ahead. They removed the tree and more than a dozen arbor vitaes in just a few hours of very extreme heat, hauling all of it to the street where the chipper was parked. There was no brush left when they were done and the yard looked great. They explained the person who did the stumping might not get out that day, but would get there soon. That was my only disappointment with the company. It was more than 2 weeks before he came out and did the stumping and he was not as neat as the first crew. The company states the chips will be left in smooth spots over the removal areas. He left mounds near the areas but did no smoothing. We had to do it ourselves. But the professionalism of Jessie, his brother and the first crew far outweighed that and we will definitely use the again.
Description of Work: We had a significant number of arbor vitaes removed from the backyard and a spruce removed from the front yard.

He basically said he didn't want the work for $250.00. I feel he should have put this in the Big Deal.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal. He came and provided an estimate of $4,000. I called and explained we did not want all of that work done, but would just like the work done from the Big Deal. He said he could not put a crew together for the $250.00.

Response from AMERICAN TREE EXPERTS
The member purchased the Big Deal coupon and requested we come out to her property to provide an estimate. Before I took the time to evaluate all of the trees on her property, I asked the member if she was interested in having all of her trees taken care of or if she only wanted done what the Big Deal covered. The member showed interest in having all the trees cared for, so I performed a full evaluation of all her trees. After explaining the scope of the project, the member signed the $4,000 contract, which her Big Deal coupon covered a small portion of. The next day the member called and said they did not want the work done and told us to come and do only the Big Deal $250 worth of work. Due to the size of the project, only a small potion could be covered by the Big Deal coupon. We still did offer the member our Big Deal offering. I instructed the member that if she was no longer interested, she could obtain a refund on her coupon through Angie’s List. I have tried to follow up several times, but have yet to hear back. All of our other customers who purchased the Big Deal coupon were very happy with the coupon and were very pleased with our work. I am sorry this customer is dissatisfied, I have done every thing I can do to satisfy them and honor the coupon they purchased but they refuse respond to me.

Called them originally because we noticed carpenter ants in our maple tree. When they came out to look at that we also had them give us an estimate on trimming the willow trees. The injection for the ants was done immediately. The trimming was done later as they had to wait until our yard dried out some as we are in a low spot. When they did come they put down boards so there large equipment would not tear up our yard. On one tree they could not use their equipment because it was still too wet so they had to climb the tree. They were very professional, cleaning up all debris. Our trees look great!!
Description of Work: Trimmed 3 large willow trees and disposed of the trimmings. Injected another tree for carpenter ants. Cut a hanging branch off another tree.

I saw a coupon for services from American Tree Experts so gave them a call. I received a return call the same afternoon and Jesse arrived the next afternoon and gave an estimate. He was very knowlegeable and professional. He explained they were busy so might be 2-3 weeks before job could be done. Within a week I received a call thet they were coming the next day. In the meantime we had a storm which knocked down another large tree and some branches. When the 3 workmen arrived, I asked if they might be able to remove the other tree and branches. He called and informed me the whole job could be done. This was a very difficult job because it was on a steep slope behind my house. They spent 31/2 hours non-stop and cleaned up everything. I am very impressed and would recommend to anyone.

After reviewing our files, our records indicate that the last time we performed any work for this customer was in 2004. We do have a Proposal in our records that was created in 2009 to prune a number of this members trees but the Proposal was never accepted. Our feeling is that this member hired a different company in 2009 to prune his trees and mistakenly gave a review on our company for work that a different company did when Angies List asked him how we performed. We have since left messages with this member to get clarification on this matter and are waiting to hear back.
