They did an excellent job rermoving two trees in a confined space without damaging any of the surrounding trees, fences or gardens. They were very professional, prompt and very efficient.

We had 4 sweet gum, an old elm to take down and then a water oak to be trimmed.  Although we had some miscommunication at first on the timing of the estimate, Jim came through with a great estimate. We were delayed on starting the job due to the heavy rains and the soggy ground.  On March 17, Jim and his crew arrived just when they said they would.  They brought all kinds of equipment - chippers, bucket trucks, containers.  The crew not only did the job as described but also trimmed up some additional trees (crape myrtles and other small trees) a removed some mistletoe from a river birch in the front yard. they were very professional, and ended on time.  They cleaned up all the debris and then some - blew off the driveway and sidewalks, raked the yard, put all the .  Despite the soggy condition of the yard, the lawn had only a few marks in it.  They cut some nice logs for use in our fireplace (perfectly sized so we did not have to split them.  The crew was so polite and Jim kept us informed on the progress.  

I would recommend Jim and his team to anyone. We got 3 quotes and Bofinger was not the lowest cost but definitely the best value.

Jim has been in charge of production for years and I am trying to get him more involved in the sales/office side of things. Sounds like he is going to do just fine. Thanks for the business and please don't hesitate to reach out next time you need anything!!!"

George is great to work with and his crew is very professional. George used all his own equipment including bucket trucks excavation equipment and removal equipment. Everything went very well and all the chip was removed from the yard. Every day while working George's crew cleaned up and left the area in great condition. Highly recommended

I have done business with Bofinger's for years.  We own apartment complexes and apartment complexes and George's crews can always handle our tree maintenance needs.  His men are professional and friendly and always have great equipment.  They take measures to protect our customers'  property while they work and always leave the job site cleaner than it was when they arrived.  I confidently refer George when ever anyone I know needs a well priced, professional tree maintenance contractor.

"Thanks so much for the positive feedback. After speaking to my foreman about the job in our weekly meeting, we realized that they did not remove the fountain in the courtyard. Has your yard crew handled this? If not let me know and I will send a guy over to grab it."

For a difficult job, Bofinger's is the way to go; the removal of the tall tree was complicating finding a contractor to undertake the project (it would have been nice if the other three contractors had bothered to let me know they weren't going to bid--I would have saved some time).  Bofinger's had the equipment to handle this job, and the experience and professionalism to carry it through.  His office staff arranged to contact my neighbor for the use of their driveway to sit the crane there to remove the tree.  His team laid  down rubberized/plastic tread mats along the driveway and grass to protect the property.  Clean up was complete. 


Note re price:  I rated it a "B" only because the price reflected what a business needs to charge to cover adequate capital expenditures, insurance, wages, and other overhead.

"Thanks for the positive feedback. It is alway good to work with someone who understands how much effort it takes to make a job like yours work without any issues. Lots of coordinating and having people trust our company. If your neighbor, who's yard we used, had not heard of our good reputation we probably would not have been able to do this job. Thanks to you and your neighbor, George"

They were prompt, efficient, and cleaned up thoroughly when they left. The team of  three work extremely well together. We'll be having them back next Spring -- we should have done it this year, but . . . to those who say that they are expensive, they are licensed arborists. They know what they are doing and how to take care of your trees for the long-term.

The crew arrived on time and completed the work in a timely manner.  They were professional and polite.  They also removed part of a crepe myrtle tree that was damaging a gutter.  After the work was done, they did a thorough clean up.
