We have had Arborway take care of our silver maple for 20 years now. This tree requires periodic trimming to lighten the canopy of the tree so that it is at less risk of damage in high winds, and to remove any branches that might have become weakened and represent a danger, Steve and his crew at Arborway always come as planned; or if the weather prevents this, they are scrupulous about calling ahead to let us know of a change in plans. Our tree is too tall to reach with a standard boom; the Arborway crew climb the tree themselves and lower cut branches by ropes so as not to damage our picket fence or anything else in the yard. Before they leave, they clean up all detritus. By the time they're gone, there are only a few bits of sawdust scattered here and there; otherwise, you wouldn't know they had been here.

Originally they stated that due to scheduling they would come look at it and schedule a time to resolve the issue later. However they came they looked and they started working immediately. They did the entire job right away. They cleared out my whole back driveway which was quite an undertaking. They did an excellent job. I was amazed at the speed and thoroughness with which they worked. I thought the job would take an awful long time but they wrapped it up rather quickly and other than the damage to my vehicle and home you wouldn't even know there was an issue. I would highly recommend them to anyone. If could give a higher grade or score I would. Top notch service.

Called Arborway to see about getting some much needed sunlight into our wooded yard. They came by in a few days to review the property and followed up a few days after that with a detailed estimate (emailed a PDF) for trimming a good amount of large limbs that were sprawling over the house from three sides. They arrived on time with a large crew and descended on my yard with ropes, chainsaws and a bucket truck. They performed the work flawlessly and the team was very friendly and professional. These Arborists love their work and it shows. I will definitely call them again and have already recommended them to friends.

They were professional. They cleaned up after themselves and they came when they said they would. The cost was more than reasonable as they had quoted more and then they were running a sale and they honored the sale price they were offering. They volunteered that information to me. They told me that they would send someone to get the payment and they sent someone for that. They were not sure initially about the day of the service but they did contact me to let me know their availability.
Description of Work: They trimmed two trees. They hauled away the limbs of the trees.

I contacted Arborway to have a tree growing between our parking lot and the neighbor's entryway evaluated for health and cost of removal. An Arborway representative took my call, and typed notes while I was talking. He told me someone would drive by and see the tree in the next couple of days and they would get back to me. A about three days later I received a written estimate that said that the tree was in distress and should be removed. They provided a quote for removal. Unfortunately, their quote was quite a bit higher (over $1,000 more) than some others we received, so we will probably go with a less expensive company. But, my experience with Arborway was overall very positive and I wouldn't hesitate to contact them again in the future.

Our experience with Arborway Tree Care went very well. From the initial consultation straight through to the day of the job. Steve who came to consult with us was very friendly and knowledgeable. Dick who manages the office was thorough and timely. And the crew who came to do the work were very professional and efficient. They did a nice job with our trees, and left the yard and driveway just as they found it.

They have removed and trimmed several trees at our old property. We asked them to give us a bid on removing some large trees from behind the new home we just purchased - unfortunately they can't do the work because they don't have a crane, so unfortunately we'll have to use someone else.
Description of Work: We have used Arborway many times at our condo building (which we are moving out of) and they have been prompt, did a good job, and didn't overdo the job. The first time we needed tree work we got multiple bids - one of the companies actually told us to call Arborway because they couldn't beat their price and said it would be a fine job

It went well. Arborway provided a very comprehensive proposal. It arrived after I had already asked another party to go ahean and do the work (since at the time of the initial engagement, Arborway told me that they were booked out 3 weeks and the other party responded faster with a quote and was available sooner to do the work). The proposal indicated that more work was required for the big tree than I had expected based on the initial walk-through. It was also more than the other provider indicated was required. Despite not getting the business, Arborway sent someone over to look at the tree again, and compared findings with the other provider. In the end, the other provider came back and did some more work on that tree, leaving me feeling more confident that the work was leaving my yard and my nieghbor's yards safe from potential issues related to the tree.
Description of Work: He came look at a large tree with some dying branches to determine what work was needed on it. While there, he observed some other, smaller dying trees that needed to be removed, and others that needed to be trimmed away from the house.

I have an 11 acre property with many specimen trees. The crew at Arborway arrives early in the day with their bucket truck, chipper and crew. They work though early afternoon addressing as many of projects on my list as they can in the allotted time. They always leave time to clean up and leave the property looking great.
Description of Work: I hire a crew of 2 climbers and 2 groundies every 2-3 years to spend a day on my property doing tree pruning and the occasional tree removal. I've been using this company for over 20 years and have always been pleased with their service. They may not be the least expensive tree service in the area, but they have a team of licensed certified arborists that will treat your trees and landscape with care and respect. You won't be disappointed.

They arrived promptly, worked professionally, cleaned up thoroughly, were friendly and courteous. In short, they were first class in every way. I could not be more pleased with their work .
Description of Work: They arrived promptly and began work to remove large, fallen, multi-trunked silver maple tree at the back left corner of my property, which had fallen partly into the back yard of 90 Elm Hill Ave. They accomplished this in a thorough and deliberate manner while taking care not to damage surrounding property of mine or my neighbors. They were thorough in cleaning up all debris.

Shortly after we chose to work with them, we were concerned about the stability of the dead tree. They evaluated it immediately and agreed and removed the tree within 24 hours. They were conscientious, knowledgeable, and did great work. We recommend them highly.

I signed up for the 10% "no rush discount" in July. The service was performed in December--no rush really means no rush. In September I called to change to regular service because I wanted to get the trimming done before the leaves fell. At that time, I was informed the wait list was 6 to 8 weeks long (a tropical storm had hit) so I wouldn't be able to get it done sooner and I might as well wait. When I signed up, I was told that sometimes people on the "no rush" list actually get the job done faster-- depends on if they are in your neighborhood and have time, etc. This is probably true if you have a small job, not a half day job like ours. I fully understand that I signed up for "no rush" so in a way I have myself to blame, but I really had no idea it would take 5 months. Anyone who hires them should understand the potential timescale. Once the job was scheduled, I took the day off from work. No one ever came, despite my calling the office 4 times that day over several hours. When I finally got through, the man in the office said he hadn't been able to contact the foreman and so he assumed they were still coming. I continued waiting until an hour before dusk at which time it was obvious they were not coming. I called the office once again and was told someone would call me the next day to reschedule. I heard nothing until 1.5 weeks later. When they finally came, they did a good job doing the trimming, and left privacy branches according to my instructions. The arborist who gave the quote was knowledgeable and seemed very competent. He actually remembered being up in the same tree years before, which is why I hired Arborway. All in all, I was satisfied with the work, but dealing with the customer service was a debacle.
Description of Work: They trimmed a very large Norway maple, removing branches that were too close to the roofline and taking weight off of branches overhanging the house.

Response from Arborway Tree Care Inc
Finally! A legitimate complaint! We have had 4 bad reviews in the last year, all of which were posted several months after the fact and were full of misrepresentations (as explained in our responses posted here). This customer, however, is completely justified to complain about having her job scheduled for a certain date and then not receiving a call when it turned out that we were unable to keep the appointment. Although we try hard to prevent this, it sometimes happens. An earlier job runs over, a piece of equipment breaks down, etc., and the crew forgets to inform the customer or the office that they aren’t going to make it to that job. We’ll try harder! We must, however, take issue with the rest of her complaint. She was happy to take a substantial discount off the job price to put it on “No-Rush” status, but then she gives us a bad review because of the elapsed time between confirmation and completion, which is the very definition of the No-Rush discount. On top of that, she was fully aware that we were swamped with emergency work from Hurricane Irene, which pushed her non-emergency work even further out. We also feel it is unfair to blame us for her missing a day of work. Their instructions to us, as noted in their job record, were: “Call when we know estimated time of arrival. Wife is home part of the day. Husband works 5 minutes away.”

Contacted this company (many many times) to get an estimate for a stump ground and some accompanying landscaping. I was told one of their estimators would go by. After weeks, and several follow-up calls, no one came, although they did have time to send someone to drop off promotional brochures at the home. To be clear, no one every told me we weren't in their service area or that the services were not the kind they performed. Rather, each time I called, I received assurances that someone would be by. After about six weeks, I found someone else.
Description of Work: See below - we never got past go.

Response from Arborway Tree Care Inc
This customer is confusing us with one of the other local tree services with “Arbor” in their name, something that happens with surprising frequency. (And the fact that she posted this report 3 months after the described events may be contributing to the confusion.) Whoever she contacted several times over six weeks, it wasn’t us. All our customer contacts go straight into our computer database, and our records show that she called to request an estimate on May 15, 2012, and then she called back 3 days later on May 18 to inform us that she didn’t need the estimate because she had hired another company.
