These guys are worth every penny! It is the third time I use their services and remain very satisfied with the overall service they provide. Excellent professional advise, punctual, great attention to detail and a courteous crew. I will most certainly use them again.

Great! After initial paid consultation, arborist scheduled treatment, but when he came back, he saw something he didn't see initially and suggested home remedies rather than his paid service. He did not charge and advised me on how to treat the issue.

Very well - the team was responsive and we appreciated the fact that the same individual who made the first assessment of our property (Pat) was involved in the actual work.

Pat was responsive to my request for an estimate and visited my property to view the four trees shortly after initial contact. He emailed a proposal and had each tree priced out separately, so the total cost was transparent. On the day of the job, Pat and his employee consulted me one last time about the scope of the project and my expectations. I was able to add in an additional small trimming job on my sycamore for a reasonable fee. Nova Arborist worked diligently throughout the day and cleaned up all debris from the trees. The trees look much better now and ready for Spring. I am very satisfied with the quality of service and the price charged. I would recommend Nova Arborist to anyone in the DC area looking for tree service.

Pat and his team were GREAT!  Pat took the time to explain options to save one of the trees, and also ended up trimming two additional trees and removing a smaller tree. He educated me on the maintenance needed to keep the trees healthy, and recommended the appropriate mulch for the trees.  Pat and his crew were extremely professional and knowledge, and removed all debris from the property.  I felt very comfortable with the work they were doing in my yard and am very glad my neighbor referred them to me.  I would highly recommend Pat and his team for any further tree maintenance, removal, etc.

It went well. as they did it in April, some of the dead branches were not evident and are still there.

The owner, Pat, came out to do an estimate in the pouring rain, which did not seem to deter him.  We agreed on a price and a date for the work to be done, which was about a week after the estimate was provided.  Pat and his crew of 2 tree climbers showed up exactly on time to perform the work.  The three of them were thorough in cutting and trimming all of the branches that were either dead, crossed, or intertwined with adjacent trees.  They cleaned up my property completely, leaving it in better shape than when they arrived.  They were all very professional and friendly and knew what they were doing.  They were very careful not to damage my property or my neighbor's.

"[Member Name Removed], We really appreciate your making the time and effort to write a detailed review of our work! Your genuine interest in the health & beauty of your trees is clear, and these are the jobs we love the most. It was also very interesting to talk to you about various things, and I will definitely be consulting with you before my next Colorado ski vacation! Take care and have a great Summer! Pat"

Pat and his team were excellent from start to finish.  Pat was responsive in coming out and reviewing the scope and equally so in providing his estimate.  Of the 3 estimates I received, Nova wasn't the lowest (nor the highest) but they were definitely the most responsive and gave me confidence that they would stand by their work.  When the time came for the work to be done, Pat and his team arrived on time.  I needed a bunch of my neighbor's tree limbs cut that had grown into our property (with our neighbor sitting there to supervise the work).  The situation called for a sensitive and thoughtful approach and we got exactly that from Nova.  They took the time to talk through different trimming options and they trimmed the branches 'progressively' to find the best solution for both us and our neighbors.  They were courteous throughout and were willing to go the extra mile in making sure we were satisfied.  I very much appreciated their approach and I wouldn't hesitate to call them up directly next time I need work done.

"[Member Name Removed], Thank you so much for providing this very thoughtful and thorough review. I know as a busy professional it is difficult to make time for things that aren't immediately necessary, like providing an online service review. Your time and effort will help us help others to make good decisions about their tree care. All the best, Pat Pat Patterson Nova Arborist ISA Certified Arborist #SO-5403A [email protected] Office: 202-549-5519 Mobile: 571-299-0973"

From scheduling to execution, everything went well. the trees were in a residential area, and the crew took extra care in re-directing pedestrian traffic in a professional way.

the work was done within deadlines and to our satisfaction.
