Needed after major snowstorm resulted in large limb crashing to my room. AAA was on site to assess the situation within a short time after my call and back to accomplish the needed removal the following day. Using care appropriate to the weather and snowfall conditions, they accomplished the job quickly without damage to my roof.

I reached out to Michael in autumn to come out and quote me on the removal of 3 large trees (2 of which were very large old Silver Maples that likely stood 70-80ft tall and are particularly susceptible to storm damage) behind my house, along with grinding out their stumps, other small stumps I had cut back to the ground, and some pruning. There was a fourth tree on my property that I was also wondering if needed to be removed. Michael was very honest, explaining that in his opinion, the tree was in fine health and wasn't necessary to remove, but he would be happy to do it if I requested. There were a few different scenarios I was wondering about as this would be a large project, and he was very accommodating in providing me prices for each scenario. I was nervous about the trees because they were in my back yard, between mine and my neighbors' houses, with limbs that hung precariously over various structures and fences. It was further complicated by the limited accessibility for a bucket truck to get back into the yard. Eventually Michael and I worked out a finalized price, which he was very reasonable and accommodating on. We scheduled the work for late November, but because of the weather we got he eventually got out to me in December. It was a two day project due to the nature of the work. I was very, very satisfied with how it turned out. His crew showed up and got right to work. They were clearly very skilled and professional, and while they worked quickly when they could, they did not rush when they were removing branches that could have seriously damaged mine or my neighbors' property. It was something to watch how they safely lowered the branches to the ground. And of course, Michael himself was there the whole time supervising the work, which is very important to me. When the work was all done, they cleaned up the entire area, including my neighbors' lawns, probably to a better condition than they found it when they first arrived. They placed birdhouses exactly where they had been before they moved them to avoid damage, and even rolled in my waste bins that I had set out for my normal trash haul-away. For such a large, dangerous job I could not be more pleased. I will exclusively recommend AAA in the future and will always use them for any future needs.

We have a huge Dutch elm that was dying and another tree next to it removed, plus trimming of 2 other large trees. Mike was in constant contact with us. He kept us up to date with return dates, and was fabulous to work with . Our yard and areas were the removal took place were cleaned to perfection! Would hire him again and will with additional work.

I was contacted by Mike while getting quotes to trim large portions of an old Emerald Ash tree in my back yard to make way for a second story addition. Mike worked around my unusual hours, came out to the house to get more info on what I was looking to have done, and returned very quickly with his proposal, which was lower than a few other companies I'd contacted. It was important to me to keep the tree, and Mike and his crew treated it like it was their own. Again accommodating my difficult work hours, they came out on the agreed upon date right on time and did a fantastic job of both trimming the tree and cleaning up the job site. I will absolutely be using this company again.

I called and requested an estimate of trees that I want to be cut and removed from my backyard. Michael arrived on the appointed time and gave me a fair estimate of the cost. He came back a couple of days with his crews and performed a clean and professional job. He is fully equipped with all the machinery needed to do the job. I hired Arborist Tree Experts a couple of times and I will use them again in the future. A very good and satisfactory job!

A large tree fell on our our roof over the weekend due to a wind storm. Michael and his crew arrived first thing on Sunday morning to remove it -- very few other companies even responded to our call due to the weekend timing. The tree removal was a major task due to the placement in the yard and limited access to the area. Michael and his crew handled it brilliantly. I have rarely used a service provider that was so dedicated and exceeded all expectations. I will only use Michael in the future for tree service. Thank you!

I was told they we come over on Thursday, I did not need to be home, and that they would call me. I did not hear from them so called on Friday morning. They said I was on the schedule for 2:00. I was at home until 3:30 and no one showed up nor did I ever receive a phone call.
Response from AAA Arborist Tree Experts

"Mike did call her and said ;that he had to go look at a tree that was ready to come down from high winds .and he tried to make it a different day to come out and she didnt want to wait. It was only to give her a free estimate. Thats All ."

This was a complicated project, which required extreme caution and significant expertise. The tree was in our back yard with no access to large equipment. It also was very close to the electrical wires for both our house and the neighbors, as well as the 6 foot wooden privacy fence and shed. The crew arrived promptly and worked diligently throughout the project, only stopping very briefly for lunch. The team work required to safely accomplish this job was amazing to observe. This crew was thoroughly professional, polite and certainly well versed in controling the dangerous aspects of this type of work. The owner, Michael, was on-site all day, which added to my level of complete satisfaction. I’ve had other companies work on my trees in the past, none even came close to the quality work this company provided. I am not easily impressed but AAA Arborist far exceeded my expectations.

Very very well. Mike is very responsive and does as much as he can to help us when we needed the work done. He is very knowledgeable on trees and knows which ones will do well and which may not as well as treating tree problems. We would definitely use again. His prices are also very reasonable!

Michael was very professional and a pleasure to work with! I sent out several bids when we first started this project. Not only was he one of the most affordable options, he was also the most knowledgeable. He was patient with me explaining what needed to be done. He walked me through all of the information about the trees and other plants growing in my jungle of a backyard. He and his team made quick work of a large job and I am very happy with the final product. I'll be referring all of my friends and family to him. I can't recommend him enough.

My highest recommendation goes out to AAA Arborist Tree Experts! Mike came out quickly after our initial call for an estimate. His pricing was very reasonable. The work was done the following week. Mike personally supervised his crew. They worked hard and did a great job. And cleaned up after the work. Mike took great care to make sure that we were completely satisfied with the work.

Communication with Mike was great. He was very responsive to our questions and concerns. Crew did an excellent job, and didn't leave so much as a speck of sawdust behind. Price was exactly as quoted.

We were very pleased with AAA Arborist. Michael and his crew of 3 workers took down a dead 30 year old tree and trimmed 3 other trees. Michael answered all of our questions during the process and made some tree care suggestions going forward. Once the tree was cut down, the area was cleaned up very well. We intend to call Michael in the spring to apply a treatment for our crab trees that were trimmed. We would recommend his services to anyone who needs tree care.

AAA Arborist showed up on time with a sizable crew and completed a decent size job In a few hours. Mike was exceptionally knowledgeable and professional. The post trimming cleanup was also very good and I would definitely hit them again!

Michael and his crew worked efficiently and updated me along the way so that I understood the process of their work. Michael is trustworthy and clearly wanted to do the job well, leaving me as a pleased customer. Success. Despite his 30-40 years in the tree trimming industry, Michael humbly and sincerely gave me options and explained the pros/cons for each. I would highly recommend using Michael and his team for tree trimming or clearing.

Very well. Didn't take them very long and they left the site very clean and performed all the work as we estimated. Mike kept in contact with me throughout the process to get the job done. Very nice person to work with and very knowledgeable on trees. Price was competitive, but they added in the expertise, pruning and fungicide to keep the trees we have left alive. Would definitely use again.

Went well. Michael was very responsive and the crew was friendly and efficient. All debris was cleaned up and hauled away. He offered to cut some of the wood to use as fire wood which agreed to. Would I hire them again, yes. My only disappointment is that he offered to return and treat a spruce tree that needed it, but didn't return.

Communicated well. Showed up when he said he would. Did the work he said he was going to do. Respected my property. Gave a very affordable price. Very knowledgable. Thank you Mike and team. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Outstanding. Mike came out quickly to take a look at our situation (a big, dead tree and a lot of other trees that needed pruning) and gave a fair estimate. He and his crew came right when they said they would, before I knew it the tree was gone and the 15-20 (at least) other trees looked great. They even helped me re-hang a bird feeder from a very high branch. We will be having Mike come back any time we need help with our trees.

We had a huge limb break away from a large silver maple, ( non weather related). I got 4 quotes, including one service that suggested removing half the tree. AAAs pricing was very reasonable and Mike seemed knowledgable, and was very friendly. Turns out only one major limb needed to be removed. Carpenter ants were found in the hollowed out limb and AAA treated the trees for insects. For that and the trimming of two other large silver maples the price was reasonable, and Mike and the crew were a pleasure to deal with.

Michael came to my house to view the job the same day I called him, which was a Wednesday. We scheduled the work for the following Monday. Michael rescheduled to the Saturday two days earlier because the forecast for Monday was for rain. I couldn't be home on Saturday to monitor the work, so he came back to my house on Friday with a written proposal so we could review the work to be done and make sure he understood what I wanted. I got home on Saturday just as they were wrapping up. MIchael walked with me to view the trees. He had done all that I had asked for, and didn't trim beyond what I wanted - which is also important. They cleaned up all the branches and unloaded the wood chips created from my trees right where I wanted them and where they wouldn't block the garage. Throughout the job, Michael expressed concern to attend to the tree as quickly as possible due to the threat to my garage and the power lines. We were both relieved that he was able to do the job on the Saturday, because the Monday/Tuesday weather had very high winds and could have been a big problem for that tree.

Mike, the owner, was on hand to supervise the crew. They did a fantastic job. At least one neighbor came out of her house to get the contact info for the company because she thought everything looked so good. Mike is extremely nice and really knows his stuff. I would heartily recommend AAA.

Michael promptly came out and gave me a estimate. Then Michael and his crew were able to come out and complete the job the next day. I felt that they did a good job, and cleaned up everything before they left. They also took some extra branches that I had sitting in my yard. I will definitely call them again.
