The tree is now better looking than any time in the 40 years we have owned it. The clean up was nearly spotless.

The job went very well. All trimmed limbs were ground up and taken away. Two trees in the front of the house were trimmed using a lift bucket from one of their trucks. One  of the trees that were trimmed and the one that was totally removed were in the back yard with no access for the bucket so it was all done by climbing the trees where necessary. There were three workers plus the owner who was on scene part of the time. His crew works well without him present and he did a final walk-around with me to get my approval before asking for any of the agreed upon price. I have used this firm several times in the past and it has always gone well. I would use them again.  One of the important factors for a customer to do is to tell them exactly what you want trimmed or taken down. I usually watch what they are doing so that I can add or change the job as they go and I see how the trees are coming along. But they could work without supervision once they get from you what you want to do.They are easy to work with and the main trimmer has many years of experience doing this type of work.
I like the fact that the owner is a licensed arborist, and is insured. He has the proper equipment and this is his full time type of work.

Take down a 50 foot oak. The tree was about 25% alive. It was located between my fence and an out building i in the corner of my yard. There was no safe direction to drop the tree. The house, fencing on two sides, the shed, and the electrical services all complicated the job. Robert used a bucket lift to disassemble the oak in a safe manner. He brought the right equipment and an experienced, hardworking crew. Having never seen this difficult of a removal I observed most of the job and was how simple the right tools can make it look easy. They started at11:30 and str doing at 4, cleanup and all. Great job.

I called for an estimate late on a Saturday afternoon. Robert came out the next day and gave me a very reasonable estimate for cutting back five trees -- two maples, two pines, and a magnolia. His workers were out two days later. They listened to the way I wanted the trees cut back and did it exactly as I requested. They worked quickly but carefully and cleaned up everything when they were finished. Robert came out to inspect the job at its completion and to ensure that I was pleased. I've used other tree services over the years that were okay, but Bryer Tree Service is by far the most professional, pleasant, and accommodating of any I've ever used. I wish I'd found him sooner! Obviously, I am extremely pleased!

Robert was very nice and pleasant to work with. He gave us a fair estimate and they were able to trim our trees the very next day. He trimmed the lower branches of an oak tree and took down a large branch from an elm tree which had snapped during a recent storm. They did the work quickly and cleaned up the yard when they were finished.
I would definitely recommend Bryer Tree Service to friends and family!

He did an excellent job. He was responsive, and listened to what I wanted done. He kept me apprised of when the work would be completed, and offered a back up plan. (The weather got stormy on the day the work was completed.)

I would recommend his work; and use him to complete more jobs.

Bryer's did a great job trimming up numerous trees. Robert also pointed out an issue with one of the trees and offered to take pictures. They were punctual, did a great job of cleaning up, and provided the service they quoted. I was very happy with the job they did and would definitely use them again.

They did a great job and were really good with cleanup. They did it really quick and hauled off the trees. You couldn't even tell they had been here.

They were professional, quick and did what they said they would do. They mulched all the material, made sure it was swept up and did a nice job cleaning up. I would use again.

I believe I described most of the story in the previous question. The work went well. The crew removed the tree limb piece by piece and safely lowered it to the ground to be taken to the truck. When completed, all was cleaned up and taken away. Mr. Bryer had to leave the crew under the supervision of one of his older workers so he could go check on another job in progress, so he returned the next day to pick up his check. He had never asked me for payment before his work was completed.

Called one day, they came out the next. Polite and professional. Did my neighbors as well the day after. Didn't hurt anything in the yard, with large branches over house and fence. Hired to take down large bough from maple tree. Amazing how much wood comes down. Used a large cherry picker.... amazing how high up they go. No problems, did what they said and even blew our driveway clear of chips and leaves. Will use again.

I was very impressed as I have had two other trimming experiences with other tree services. This was the best of the three. Very professional, good equipment, worked fast, and cleaned up. I saw a newspaper ad and called the number. The owner came to the house that same day and we talked about each of the three trees that I wanted trimmed and cleaned up of dead branches. He told me he would call me when he do the work. He called the same week and asked if he could bring his crew to complete the job. The did the work as I wanted it done. They actually trimmed an additional tree after I approved the work and the tree looked better. The actually did more work on all of the trees than was originally talked about and at no extra cost. All of the branches were chipped and the yard was raked of any other debris from from trimming before they left. The owner asked for NO money up front and I paid him upon completion of his work.
