Les and his crew are true professionals, I have used their service over the past five years on three properties, and they have held consistent with the way they handle each job. { True professionals at a fair price ! } Every man on the crew knows what to do, And when to do it during the process , keeping the work area clean and safe for all involved. Les is a man of his word he is 100% committed to providing customer satisfaction. The day of the very first job he did for me it snowed about six inches, I thought for sure he would reschedule. But much to my surprise when i got out of work i found his crew half way threw a three day project of removing over one hundred over grown hemlocks approx eighty feet tall . Every time i have ever call Les for a quote he has managed to meet with me in a day or less, Truly remarkable ! I have told all my friends and relatives about my satisfaction with Les and his crew, and now i am telling you. Don't hesitate to call if you want to see excellence at its best on your property , and meet A True Gentleman with integrity !

Excellent. Les was very responsive. Provided me a prompt quote after having the tree and property looked at that same day. They added me to the schedule and called me the day before they were coming as a reminder. When I got home the next day from work, if it weren't for the tree being obviously gone, you never would have known they were there. Not a trace. My lawn wasn't trampled, no branches, limbs, twigs or pine needles left behind. They swept up all the needles! They ground the stump, leveled the land and just made whole area look clean. And they were super competitive regarding price. One other popular tree service known for quality was much more expensive but i dont think they could have done a better job then Les's crew at Urban. Couldnt be happier!
Description of Work: I had a huge obtrusive, overgrown pine tree cut down in the corner of my yard. It was close the power lines on the street as well as to my house and already had a large limb break off and block the whole street after it took out the power.

Per my review above, no service was provided.
Description of Work: I reached out to them looking for someone to treat scale on my magnolia tree after another company failed to respond after repeated attempts to follow up on their recommendation after treatment last year. Urban responded to my email within a couple of hours. While they don't do the work I was looking for, they made a recommendation of someone to call. I appreciated their prompt response and the few minutes they took to talk to me about the situation and to recommend next steps and another place to call for assistance.

Excellent! Great value. Very professional. Les came over and gave me an estimate soon after I called. He made recommendations and even suggested keeping one of the trees that I originally wanted to remove. By pruning it and removing the others his team accomplished my goals of creating more sun in my yard and less debris on the roof, in the gutters and on the ground. I highly recommend Urban Foresters for any tree work needed.
Description of Work: Urban Foresters removed 5 trees from my property and pruned another.

They did an outstanding job they let me know exactly what they were going to do. They were on time and gave me an outstanding deal. I have used other tree service companies in the past and my yard was a mess. I could not even tell that trucks were parked all over cutting down trees all day.

Everything went well with this company. My initial phone call was answered by a real person instead of an answering machine, and that person was very helpful. He described their equipment's capability and assured me it could handle the huge stumps. We had been concerned that the stumps would require a large excavator which would run into thousands of dollars. The follow up call to schedule the work was prompt, and the work was done on time and as agreed. This company is easy to work with: knowledgeable, courteous, and prompt.
Description of Work: Ground many very large tree stumps.

Everything went very well. I don't like dealing with trees due to the possibility of errors creating damage and the expense it takes to have trees cut down. However, I was so impressed with Urban Foresters I am having them come back in a few weeks to cut down a tree that is in my backyard. I can also attest to several (at least 6) of my neighbors also using their services and being very satisfied with their work.
Description of Work: First I received an estimate on my front tree and a back tree. I had them return twice for the estimate because I changed the scope of the work. I worked with Les and he was very friendly, helpful, and patient. I then had the crew remove all lower branches from a large tree in my front yard to raise the canopy of the tree. I spoke with them before they began their work and they were very polite and helpful. When all of the work was done they raked the shavings, picked up the area, and left the yard in the best condition they could.

Terrible experience. See above.
Description of Work: I have used this company in past and was satisfied with work. I called back last year to get quote on removing tree(s) over-hanging house. Expensive and didn't have the funds at that time. After October 2011 storm, we had heavy damage to these trees and called them to see if they could give me another quote. Much of one big tree was on ground so wanted to know how much it would cost now. Also, they wouldn't have to haul it away as town was picking up storm debri. I told them one of the big limbs broke off and was still attached to my tree but also covered half my neighbor's yard. I said the neighbor needed a quote to see what it would cost to get it removed. I was told I had a quote from last year so I knew what it would cost. i said, yes, but I wanted a new one as it's not the same now. He also said he wasn't doing quotes so he wouldn't do the neighbors. I said but the limb is still connected to my tree, so if you do mine, then wouldn't you just continue to do thier's too? I said we just want to get this done before their is more damage. He said he was too busy, no quotes, I should have done the work when I called him last year. Sitting here after a week of no power, a yard full of debri, and large limbs broken and hanging over house, that's probably the last thing I wanted to hear. It was the old. "who's in charge now!" attitude. I found his approach to this very unprofessional. Here he has a customer he has done work for in the past,. I have given him a good review on Angie's list, didn't have anyone else do the work he quoted me on, and would have hired him for this job. I understand he had a lot of calls, but to treat a customer this way, I think not. Found another guy from a neighbor, who showed up the next day, gave the quote, and came back day after that to do work. He said they were extremely busy, but he understood our concerns about wanting to get trees removed that were a safety hazard. This company did a great job, took down two large trees in front and three small pines in back and removed giant limb from fence. They did all this for the price Urban Forester quoted me to remove one tree in front. They also did the neighbor's yard same day. I have them coming back to remove very large Sugar Maple in back that is over-hanging house. All I can say is, everybody can be good when times are good but their true colors show when things are not so good as like what happened with this freak October storm. As they use to tell me when I was in the Navy, "one screw up cancels out ten "'atta boy's". I will never call this company again.

They did a good job. It was excellent, perfect and I had no complaints. Everything was wonderful. I might have spent $2500 or $5000 on that service. Their price was lower for what they did, they should have charged more because they did so much work.
Description of Work: I used Urban Foresters, LLC and they cut down a lot of very tall pine trees. One job was done this past January and the previous job was last August and they took more pine trees.

Les showed up on time for both quote and job. His crew did a professional job, stacked wood and removed branches, etc. I was thinking about taking down more trees, but Les talked me in to just doing some trim work instead. He doesn't like removing trees just for the sake of doing so. He's a true professional and is looking out for the best interest of his customers and the planet. His price was reasonable but probably not the least expensive I could have found if I looked around more. I believe in you get what you pay for. No complaints here.
Description of Work: Pruning of 8 trees and removal of 3 trees to make room for pool. Trees were in open, easy to drop. Pruning was a little tricky as some of the limbs were pretty large and near structures. Stump grinding included.

Les responded to our call promptly. Gave us a time frame. Called a few days before to let us know when they were coming. Showed up early in the morning with a crew of 5 men. They skillfully removed this monster of a tree and cleaned up as the branches fell. They roped the branches so they didn't destroy the fence on one side or the wires on the other side. After completing the tree removal, another worker ground out the stump. Another truck came and removed the very large branches. Then they raked and leveled off the ground. The tree was there for approx. 90 years. It now looks like there was nothing there. We were very satisfied with the job and highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Remove a large tree. Remove brush. Grind stump. Remove wood. Clean area.
