It was a winter discount that they do after December 1 until sometime in the spring. I did not have much communication with them. They just showed up -- I had no idea they were even coming. We had a huge blizzard and had, like, 20 inches of snow on the ground. This tree is right in the front yard so there was, like, 20 inches of snow all around it. They sent these poor two guys out here. They could barely walk through the snow, it was almost up to their knees. They were trying to cut the tree and prune it with all this snow around it. It seemed to me like it was kind of desperation tactics. I just thought it said something about the company that they were not doing well. I felt like that was not an appropriate day to send a crew out. They could not have done a good job; they couldn't even get through the snow. To trim a tree in 20 inches of snow was kind of ludicrous, I thought.

In the past I have had to have a large tree removed and two other trees treated as they were not thriving. Those trees are now doing great.
I continue to use Kramer Tree to prune or treat the trees on my property.

We are working with a landscaper who gave Kramer Tree Specialists a good recommendation. I checked on Angie's list and Kramer Tree Specialist was highly rated. We explained to Tim what we wanted done and received a quote that we felt was reasonable for the amount of work that was being done. The office was extremely helpful and any time we had questions - the message was passed on to Tim and he was very good about returning our phone calls.
After approximately two and a half weeks we received an email stating that Kramer Trees would be coming out the following day. The crew arrived at 7am and promptly let us know that they were going to begin their work. They began working and hauling away the branches. The crew members were very courteous. They worked hard and accomplished a lot. I had to leave before they completed the work. When I came home everything was nicely cleaned up - it looked fantastic. The Crew had trimmed the trees away from the house and ground the stumps.
My husband came home and remarked on how professional the work was. We would highly recommend Kramer Tree Specialists.

Called to get quote to cut down two 30 year old trees next to our deck. Someone came out the next day and we were provided with a quote to either trim the trees or remove them. Since there were many dead branches on both trees and one of them was leaning against our deck we opted to remove them. Work was done while we were gone and everything was cleaned up when we returned. The price was higher since we live in a townhouse area and it was difficult to reach the trees being removed.
