Our trees have grown tremendously since the treatment. One tree still isn't doing so well, but Chuck warned us ahead of time that we may need to remove it. It is fairing OK, we still don't know whether or not it will have to be removed.

Liked that Chuck is a certified arborist. Only trims what he believes should be trimmed. Tough to schedule because he is so busy. I waited 7 weeks but he did a great job.

This is the 3rd or 4th time we have called Chuck. Most knowledgeable, honest, courteous and effective arborist around. This is the second tree he has saved, when others suggested cutting it down. He sent a trimmer to cut what was dead and told us what to do in order to save the rest of the tree, which is very valuable for shade and aesthetics. Very busy, so be patient, especially during stormy periods, but worth the wait!

We called him back after they leafed out and we were pleased that he suggested just removing the dead limbs and inject both our Ash trees for the emerald ash borer that is devastating this area. We had him inject both trees and remove the dead limbs in the one tree. I also had him remove some of the lower limbs from a Mulberry so it didn't interfere with mowing. We had several old limbs put to the side of the yard that were too big for us to cut up and his crew removed those for us as well. We were very pleased with the process and the clean up work. I would not hesitate to use him again. He also counseled a neighbor on the condition of their Ash Tree that needs to be removed. I had a previous bid for the injections and Chuck was right in the ball park and even slightly under the other bid. I did not get any other bids for the other work, but based on my past experience with having trees trimmed, I felt it was a reasonable bid. I would add that Chuck came highly recommended to us.

Chuck Bingham offers an educated, personal service. The first time I used his service I had bids from two other companies. The other companies gave cookie-cutter (and MUCH higher) estimates, including services I didn't need or had asked for. Chuck insisted in me walking the yard with him and his assessment was based on MY trees, not "THE" trees. I asked him about statements in the other bids. One bid mentioned that one of my trees had softer wood and should be removed. Chuck said, "Yes, that tree is a softer wood, but yours is healthy and in good shape. No reason to remove it." I've used his services for the past four (more?) years, and been extremely happy. Very personal, professional and so cost effective he's usually totally booked.

He is an arborist and so he knows what he is doing. He only performs what is necessary.

Chuck came and gave a very reasonable estimate. When I faxed him my signature to confirm we agreed to the terms, I also asked him to look at a dogwood tree to trim. At this point in the process, his truck became disabled, so he wasn't able to get back for the work until over a month later (why I rated N/A on punctuality - don't want that to count against him). He called me the day he ultimately came since I wasn't home and gave me an estimate on the dogwood, which I approved. He completed the job, and we're very pleased, Our crab apple looks like a beautiful (large, life-sized) bonsai because of the artful turns the branches take, while Chuck removed lots of little twig/smaller interior branches and found appropriate places to cut back to so that the tree is not touching the house. I have used him many times previously and trust him to recommend what's best to keep our trees healthy, even when it means he's not making any money. He's willing to answer questions and give recommendations on other trees' care, even when he's not being asked to do anything with them. He cleans up thoroughly after completing work.

Excellent. We had high winds and torrential rain last night which broke a very large limb of our River Birch tree. The limb was very dangerous as it fell on our front steps but was still attached to the tree. We called Chuck and he was out here at 9 the next morning. Chuck is an arborist and gave us much information on the care of our trees. Will definitely use again!!

Chuck was awesome! He took his time and explained what was wrong with the tree and the steps we could take to save it on our own. He recommended products that he uses and gave us detailed information including where to get the products for the best price. He was extremely knowledgable and fun to talk with. If out tree doesn't pull through, we will DEFINITELY call Chuck and have him address the tree. We will also gladly use him for any other tree issues and refer him to our friends and family.

Job went very well. Chuck was right on time...to the minute....both on coming out to do the estimate and on the day he came out to do the work. Job was just as quoted and he did a complete clean up of he yard. Also gave so good suggestions regarding some other issues that I had not even thought about. Very fair price for the amount of work he did and no high pressure sales pitch regarding other trees on the property. A++++++++++++++++

I liked it. They were on time, very knowledgeable about trees and cleaned up. He came out and gave an estimate for the complete pruning of these trees and an estimate for a partial pruning. I picked the partial, but I have the option to change it to complete within the year. He likes to prune when the trees had leaves so it is safer. He did a really good job.

If you want to keep your trees alive and healthy, Chuck Bingham (Leawood Tree Service) is the one to call! I initially asked Chuck for just a bid to trim the trees, however, as we walked around the yard, I took copious notes as this Internationally Certified Arborist shared information on how to improve the health of my trees. In particular, he described four methods of treatment for the Emerald Ash Borer, the reasons why some treatments won't work, and after citing resources with a 10+ year record of successful treatment, we had him inject our treasured tree. The trunk was 36" in circumference and the cost was $90 for this year. He also suggested we feed our new trees Super Thrive, discussed watering methods, and recommended treatments we could do on our own in the spring. On another visit we had him trim our trees, and he explained in detail how he trims, the benefit to the tree, and that we don't have to do this very often. He also explained how we could save our pine trees with injections, however, the living parts were too lopsided for us to want to save them. I only wish we had talked with him several years ago.
Chuck gave a detailed bid for each tree, for trimming and for recommended injections, and he let us choose what work we wanted to have done and to spread it out over time as budget permits, with the bid being good for one year. He is the consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. If you need a tree removed there are cheaper alternatives out there, but to keep your trees alive, you can't beat Chuck.

We have a maple tree that has been attacked by Carpenter Ants. Chuck answered my email promptly and came out to look at the tree. He gave us detailed advice and instructions on how to save the tree. He recommended products to strengthen the tree and told us how to get rid of the ants. All this was done in the middle of a rainstorm standing under the tree. Nice man, easy to talk . Very reasonable cost as he drove over 15 miles to help us.

Had a large broken branch hanging over fence line. Chuck came out and gave an estimate after one day. Came back the next and removed the branch (no damage to the fence!), cut back some other problem areas on the tree, and gave me some good advice on what I needed to do to seal up holes to prevent water accumulation and rot. Overall good job.

He explained exactly what he was going to do and why. He explained why he thought this was the best form of treatment. He was knowledgeable, personable and really seemed like he cared. I felt he cared for my trees as well as he would care for his own.

This is something that I will have to do every year for 7 years. I also did this treatment last year. Sigh. Chuck told me that I should have called him when the trees first started to leaf out. I wish he had sent me a reminder but he said he no longer does that as too many of his clients move and the cards got returned to him. After he injected the trees he pointed out that I had carpenter ants feeding off the dead part of my tree. He showed me how to treat that problem. Chuck loves trees and convinced me to keep my huge ash tree even though it is right by my driveway and is in the way when I back out of the garage. He said my energy bills would go up if I took down the tree because of the shade it provides.

"Thanks for your response and hope your having good luck with the carpenter ants and they are taking the bait."

He does maintenance and trims and gives us advice on our trees. We've been using him for about 3 years now. He's really fair on pricing and he's just really good. He's the only one I'd use. He's prompt, he always comes when he says he's coming.

Chuck Bingham has been taking care of my trees for the last 4 years after I had been using other tree service companies who were not as knowledgeable and unfortunately some of my trees were paying the price. He is the most responsive person I know in addition to being a subject matter expert and a great teacher. Not only does he take the time to review the issues thoroughly, but he also provides advice to maintain or improve the health of my trees. On many occasions he has shown me how to save $$ if he thinks I can handle a task vs. paying him to do it.
