Very pleased. Michael Wall came out promptly for an estimate and emailed it shortly thereafter. Included prices for trimming and for complete removal of tree if needed. After consulting with neighbor, we settled on tree trimming only, which they completed professionally and quickly, just as roofer were arriving to replace the roof. Perfect timing. Crew was quite helpful and trimmed to my specifications.

The price I thought was definitely an A. They were here bright and early in the morning. I have used them before and would definitely use them again. I keep coming back because the owner seems to know exactly what he is doing. I am impressed with his knowledge of trees and it scared me to watch them do it but they seem very comfortable climbing way up there and lopping limbs off. The trees they took of were pretty sizable too. It took them about 6 or 7 hours to complete. They had a little trouble with the maple. The communication and interaction was very good. They cleaned up as well as they could. They didn't clean up completely because the other company was going to come back and finish up with the patio. They cleaned up as much as they could. I asked them to save some of the branches for me for walking sticks for Eagle Scouts. I still have them. I am trying to get them to the people who are supposed to work on them. There were a couple of them from the locust and I'm not sure if they got some of them off the crimson maple or not because it was dying. It was not in good shape.

Excellent service. The arborist, Lou, contacted us shortly after I made the inquiry and set up a time to come over. He looked over the site and suggested several possible trees, then later sent us an email with three specific varieties and their costs. After we signed the contract, they arranged for a utility line survey of our property, then confirmed a date to install the tree. They followed up with a phone call the day before, and the crew showed up on time. They did an excellent job, grinding up the old tree roots, supplementing the soil with mulch and a watering bag system to optimize the transplant, and cleaned up everything before leaving. We would not hesitate to recommend them.

I have been using Sunrise Tree Service since 2009 and i found them on Angie's List.  Lyle, the Arborist, is truly knowledgeable about trees and has never steered me wrong.
I have to have Chimney work done and needed the tree next to the Chimney trimmed.  I had Lyle come out and assess all my trees as it had been a while since they were trimmed.  As a repeat customer, he gave me a nice discount.
There were 4 men and they worked together beautifully and professionally.  The supervisor asked me how much I wanted the trees cut back and checked in with me periodically to make sure that I was doing what I had asked for.  They cleaned up all the debris.  I would highly recommend this company.

I was contacted by an Arborist who came out to assess the scope of work. I promptly received a proposal for the work. The ash trees and the oak were cut down, chopped into smaller pieces, and left in the woods as agreed to in the proposal. The Austrian pine, which was not in the wooded area, was cut down and removed and the stump was ground as agreed to in the proposal. I was very satisfied with the work.

Great -- a very good price, very nice and professional. They even moved a big pile of flagstone close to the tree so it wouldn't be in the way. They were very careful and marked the tree the day before so no mistakes would be made.

A+ all the way!

After I contacted Lyle from Sunrise he responded in a very short time.  We left the time open for the work to be completed, but Lyle thought that he could have a crew ready within two weeks.  The crew arrived within the two week period and did an excellent job.  They were very careful and cleaned up everything.  I would definitely use them again.

I contacted their arborist Lyle Katzman for an estimate for trimming two trees, removing several stumps on the side of the house and options for treating my Emerald Ash tree in the front yard to protect it from Emerald Ash borers. Lyle was not very speedy in returning my phone call. When he did return my phone call we scheduled a time for him to come give me an estimate.  After I received the estimate I contacted Lyle to schedule a time to do the work.  He said it was a busy time for him and could possibly get me in but would have to call me back later.  After a week of no return phone call I called him back.  Lyle said, again, that it was a busy time and he would do his best to get me worked in.  After a month I called him back again and asked if he wanted my business - I would like the work done soon because one of the trees was overhanging my garden and needed to be trimmed to benefit my garden.  Lyle said it costs him money to send his crew out and my job wasn't big enough to warrant coming to my area so he needed to see if he could line up more jobs in the area first.  I then contacted a manager at Sunrise Tree Care and told her about the situation and asked if there was any other arborist that could do the work in a more timely manor for me.  The manager was wonderful and worked it out so that a crew was there within a week to perform the job. The manager was a wonderful person and very professional. I would use Sunrise Tree Care again in the future, but would ask to work with a different arborist instead of Lyle.

We decided to go with Sunrise. We felt Lisle's experience was vast, and he felt comfortable with the job. They came and cut down the tree in 3.5 hours. They were professional and cleaned up the area. I would recommend them. We were not home when they came, but the next door neighbor was, and provided the information about the professionalism (we could see how clean they left the area).

They do great work. We had a little trouble with communication for this job, but that has never been an issue when we used them in the past. I attribute the difficulty to the fact that we were having other work done and we needed to schedule Sunrise around that work, plus they were really busy uie to recent storms. They got the job done right. We are satisfied customers and will use them again.

As I always do, I got three bids from "A" rated providers on Anglie's List.  Sunrise was the low bid and had good reviews.  They came out on a timely basis and quoted the work.  They left a handwritten quote that day and quickly followed up with a typed quote in the mail.  On the day of the work, they came out in force with a full compliment of staff that expertly removed the very large tree and grinded the stump.   I have only good things to say.

We have used Sunrise several times.  This time was to remove 3 trees along the top of a retaining wall that needs to be reinforced.  the tree roots were impacting the wall.  They did a great job, cleaned up everything, price was fair based on other estimates.  They also trimmed a few trees on the property and did a good job.
