I had to wait several weeks because they were busy but they told me that up front. Once they got there they did a nice job pruning my large, tall birch clump. Also took down another tree.

They do our trees throughout the year. They usually come and do trimming. They come and fertilize our trees. They might've come during the spring once, but we don't have to be here when they come. They do their job and leave a little peg, so we know they've been here.

4/19/17 I reviewed Buckley Tree retroactively - and critically - in my 2015 comments and now need to revise my opinion. Back then, on the basis of a 2nd company's assessment that my trees were disease free, I assumed Buckley had wrongly informed me that I needed chemical treatments. Thus I bypassed treatments for rhizosphaera fungus for a couple of years. Every year new growth did indeed look healthy, but the inside older needles continue to die. Finally In 2016 I had the agricultural extension service in Milwaukee test for the fungus - which was completely invisible to my eye, as it was to the company who judged them healthy - and the test was positive. So Buckley is vindicated and the 2nd company was wrong. I want to correct any aspersions on my part that Buckley operated then, or now, unethically. I am changing my overall impression of their services to B - prices were still high and it would have been better had they offered a lab test option, nevertheless they performed to professional standards. (As for the treatments, I've decided not to apply fungicide, because of yearly expense and negative environmental effects.) 5/29/15 This review is years after the approx.service date, so some details are sketchy now. I want to register my dissatisfaction for something I found out 2 years later. Buckley treated my ailing spruces by spraying for rhizosphaera (a disease which kills second-year needle growth). Price was high at several hundred $$ for multiple trees (though probably @ market rate) - application took less than 20 minutes. They came and did the work as scheduled for a 2nd year also. When I got a reminder to do it a 3rd year - I asked another well-established company for a quote. Their arborist didn't find any sign of rhizospaera and was critical of the fact that Buckley didn't do a lab test first. The 2nd company recommended injecting nutrients to boost one tree's overall health. A couple of years later, the tree doesn't appear to have gotten worse. If it is the industry standard to test for disease first, then my trees may have been inappropriately diagnosed. If Buckley was correct, then perhaps they needed to look at the trees' progress before scheduling 2nd & 3rd treatments. In the future I will stick with the 2nd company who seemed more informed and less inclined to waste my money.

Description of Work: will be cutting down a huge tree in front yard. Did 2 trees for us last year. Did an excellent job. Bill Miller is very knowledgeable and his crew is extra polite and very efficient. They even cut a slab out of the tree so our grandson could count the tree rings. They came very quickly when our tree lost a huge limb. Excellent!
