Great - it stretched into one and a half days. The Dad bids the job, the son in law (?) leads the crew, then the Dad comes back to check up on things.

Two other arborists came out free of charge to look at my trees and gave me written proposals containing more information than the "report" I received for $210 from this vendor. He ultimately refunded the fee and I would not recommend.

I went with Roy's company because he is an arborist and so very knowledgeable about how a tree should be reduced, laced, or removed. He also has a truck/crane with a basket for the trimmer to stand in reaching the tops of all the trees. They also placed tarps over my garden so that the sawdust didn't pile up on my plants. When the crew arrived on Monday, January 16, 2017, I found out that the main tree guy, Justin Coppola, is also an arborist and very knowledgeable. There was a cleaner, Terry Thiel, who kept up with all the debris and when they finished at the end of the day, the place was so clean! These were very professional tree trimmers and I was so pleased!

Have used this company before, and again had great service from them. Contacted Roy on a Tuesday, he came out on Saturday to give me an estimate, and did the work on Tuesday. All work as requested, cleaned up and hauled away all trimmings and wood. Will use him again in the future, and have recommended him to others in the area.

Roy and his son trimmed (basically restructured) this same Chinese Elm for me 3 years ago. They did an excellent job, so I called them again. Roy's son, Brian, did all of the trimming this time and Roy provided the estimate and checked in each day. It took 3 days to complete the work - most of 2 days were spent on the elm. They are both very professional and so are their workers. Always there on time and worked hard throughout the day. Brian was the only person in the tree this time, where 3 years ago, there was a 2nd cutter so it took a bit longer. For the elm we focused on safety as it is overhanging the roof and a couple of large branches had fallen (from about 40 feet up) because of the recent rain and wind. The two trees taken out were basic, taken out and stumps ground. The Olive trees are being hit by the drought and the glass winged sharpshooter that is killing olive trees and oleanders. Roy/Brian will only trim dead branches from Olive trees at this time for these reasons. Topping and Trimming live branches would let the bug in. These guys explain this type of stuff to you and do their best to protect the trees and help the homeowner. They answer any questions that I have and keep me informed on what is going on at all times. They may be a bit pricey but they know their business both being certified arborists. If you want someone to just cut & slash with no regard to what is good for the trees, you can find someone cheaper elsewhere. If you care about your trees and want the best for them, these guys will do that.

I can not emphasize how pleased I am with the work done by Roy Schwartz and Son. From my initial contact with them throughout the entire process, everything was done in a professional manner. This began with the answering service who set up the initial appointment for a "free" estimate after hours on a Sunday evening. I really appreciated the free estimate, as I had noticed some other companies, who had lesser credentials actually wanted to charge to come out for an estimate. With regard to credentials, I will note, this is extremely important to me. The trees I had trimmed are approximately 60 years old and shade a pole barn on the property providing much needed shade for this structure. Because of their age, I wanted them to be trimmed and thinned correctly by someone who knew what they were doing. I've seen trees that have been "lion's tailed" that are ruined forever and did not want that to happen to these trees. Roy and his son, in addition to being certified tree workers, are also certified arborists. In other words, they have the training to to the job correctly and actually enhance the natural beauty of the tree. In addition, they took their time to explain to me what and why they were going to do and they gave me a written price quote for the work, which Roy also told me would not change even if it took more time than he estimated to complete the job. I will also note, they were extremely punctual, articulate and polite. Roy showed up to conduct the estimate exactly when he said he would and he and his crew showed up on time as well. They were also extremely considerate of my property and their equipment was clean, up to date and in excellent working order. They were very careful as they moved several large pieces of equipment around the property in some pretty tight quarters around the barn and surrounding orchard taking great care to not damage anything. I will also note, they are fully insured, including workman's comp, which I definitely appreciate. In closing, I will just note again how pleased I was with the entire experience. My trees look beautiful...better than I even hoped for. I will definitely have them come back to do additional work on some other trees. The bottom line...If you have trees you care about, let Roy and his son trim them. You will not be disappointed in my opinion!

They were good. They left the area fine and the staff was fine. I think it was the father and the son. They were nice. The work didn't take long at all. They came when they said they would come, plus they answered my call pretty much right away. They also came out pretty much right away.

They showed up on time with a team of 5 men. They did a very careful job of tying off limbs. Nothing fell in neighbor's yard. It was all cleaned up and they were done in 6 hours total. I could not ask for more.

Roy promptly responded to my request for a quote. He was able to schedule me in within just a few days. Roy's son, Brian and another worker came out to do the job at the time promised. Both worked non-stop carefully trimming and lacing out our trees. After they were done they did a thorough cleaned up of all trimmings. I hired Roy first because both he and his son are certified arborists which is critical if you want the job done right. I was extremely happy with his service and there was a noticeable improvement to shape of our trees. I highly recommend them and will use them again.v
