Amazing! I have been using Jay and his team for the last 5 years. Every time he comes I am blown away by his knowledge, his care in explaining his thinking, his love of his work, and the fastidious nature by which he does every job! He just finished a pruning job for me, which was spectacular and he just planted 7 trees for me as well. I've had a lot of work done on my 100 year old house and property and Jay and his team are the only vendor I've used more than once. Every year when I need tree service, pruning, or planting I call Jay! He is simply the best person around for small jobs, big jobs, or anything in between. Thank you, Jay, for another job extremely well done!

Specialized Rigging was the first firm to schedule a visit, offered the best price, and when we accepted, scheduled the job within a few days. The apple tree had several large, dead or rotten branches removed, but amazingly, still looks like itself. Pruning in the front yard was very selective, and it looks great. They chipped the branches and cleaned up well.

Excellent. Responded quickly to my enquiry, provided prompt written (email) quote which did not change. Communication was timely and professional, they arrived on time, did the work and cleaned up beautifully. Would definitely hire again, and do not hesitate to recommend them.

Jay is an aborist committed to the health of your trees. He and his workers work fastidious. We are thankful when we brought up a concern, Jay was back later to take care of it. Thanks!

I spoke to the owner Jay who was very polite and professional. He sent Mike over to look at our tree right away. Mike was the size of Paul Bunyan, highly knowledgable and was able to provide an estimate on the spot. I received a formalized quote via email that evening. The next day they called me with a cancellation due to high winds on another job and indicated they could be available right away. I took them up on the offer. The crew arrived within the hour. Taking substantial precautions not to crush my hydrangea and other plantings with their massive bucket truck, tree crane and wood chipper. Mike handled a chain saw like a surgeon and methodically dissected the tree limb by limb. Each cut was strategic in nature and entertaining to watch. His crew on the ground cleared brush, chipped and steadied falling limbs with large ropes to avoid crushing my fence, house and themselves. Upon completion they tidied up the yard better than it was when they arrived. I'm very satisfied with their work and I'm already considering them for another job on my property.

Jay and the crew were excellent!!! They made sure that the area that the trees were cut down was clear and clean of stumps, branches and leaves - excellent work!!! For the work that was done, the price was very reasonable. I would hire them again and again - great workers!!!

Jay was responsive, professional, and courteous. Work was done quickly, and done right. He asked me questions throughout the process, and laid out all options.

The two projects went very well and service was quick and extremely clean, if your not home that day, you may not even realize they were working there that day! I would have Jay come back out if needed , and would recommend him to anyone

Our 55 foot oak tree was removed with a crane and the stump ground. Good service and clean up. Price was competitive. I would use their service again.

excellent! A++++ I am redoing my previous review because I was on Angie's list looking for a carpenter and I found out that I have mistakenly graded this wonderful tree company F on professionalism. I can't believe that grade came out like that... I am so sorry Jay. It might be because of excitement of the finished service of yours that I mistakenly clicked the F. Fellow homeowners, this company is excellent. I am even ashamed of calling them again and again and again! For sure they would be called back again next year to do my backyard because they are the company that really deserves my trust. I assure each and everyone of you who are considering this company that you would be very happy of their service! AND according to my friends and neighbors, their price is really really reasonable. They are the company whom you would like to work for or work with!

It went great. I got a human being almost every time I called. If I left a message I got a quick response. Personable folks.  The tree is trimmed way back and will probably be good for a few years. All the debris was cleaned. I got a 10% Angie's List discount. I elected to pay by credit card, so my payment was actually $30 more than listed above. But I could have had it done for $760. This was the lowest estimate I got and I am very happy with the results.

It worked out great! The owner followed up the next day to see how everything was going. It was great service and they left me with the wood chips so that I could spread around yard.

Jay and Mike has been superb. I bought this house with several big trees in the backyard. Jay and Mike has been very professional dealing with me. Best price for the best service! They are very respectful of the time scheduling and Jay returns your call at once! Thank you so much. You are a part of my new backyard!

The owner, Jay, promptly got in touch. He came by to help us determine what to have done. He's very knowledgable (as a certified arborist), and friendly, so we felt in good hands.  
He and his crew showed up promptly on the appointed days and worked hard. The work took the better part of 2 days. It was impressive watching these guys work - high up in the trees, making surgical cuts with chain saws, and safely lowering branches to the ground. They were incredibly adept at avoiding damaging any other plants. 
We will definitely hire them again for future tree work.

Jay and his crew arrived promptly and calmed our nerves right away. My sister and I were a little nervous about the whole process. Jay reassured us that there would be no problems. He was right everything went smoothly. His team worked like a well oiled machine. They were very careful not to damage anything and cleaned every little twig up. All of his crew were very polite and pleasant. We had two really large trees taken down and a really large limb that fell off another tree cut up.

Jay and his crew have done work for me before.  I highly recommend them;  they are skilled, hard-working, reliable, trustworthy... the whole Boy Scout Manual.  They endured this horrible job without complaint, with only occasional muted yelps of pain when stabbed by thorns. They are very friendly and a pleasure to work with.

It went ok I was hoping they would have cut more branches off of the Japanese Maple to let more light come through but they did not. This was probably because I was not present when the job was done. Despite that I think they did a good job.  Next time I will make sure I am present.
