I entered into a gutter cleaning contract because for years I was failing to have them cleaned promptly, and then someone would come walking around with a ladder and offer to clean them for me, so I'd pay $40 and then have to spend the afternoon cleaning up nasty rotting leaves from my yard that had been thrown from the roof. So I called around and this company was the only one willing to come out twice/year without me having to contact them. For a year it went well, even though I knew I was paying a good 40% more than was reasonable. But I told myself for that price I was getting the peace of mind that it was handled and I wouldn't have to worry about rotting leaves covering my new patio furniture. WRONG! This spring I came home, saw the little envelope in the door notifying me they'd come and cleaned. Friday of that week I walk out to my backyard to grill and find my patio furniture COVERED in nasty, wet rotting leaves. They were over absolutely everything! I had to spend an entire weekend morning cleaning up after these jerks. Never again! It makes you feel like they really think you're just a sucker. Stay away! For that price, there's NO EXCUSE for this kind of negligence, and no second chances. If you're going to charge almost twice the going rate for your service, you better be doing something VERY special, otherwise you're just ripping people off!

They came; they sawed; they conquered the stump -- and cleaned up afterwards. DNA seems very efficient and professional, working quickly, safely, and for a very competitive price (especially if you can take advantage of their off-season discount). I wouldn't hesitate to contact them again if I need more trees removed.

They are a little pricier than some but they do a fabulous job. They are very reliable. I can arrange for the work to be done like the tree work. I'll be here and he'll give me an honest opinion if he doesn't think it needs to be done. He is not going to do it just to get the money. When he do the job, I don't have to be here. I come home and I usually know that they have the work until look out. They clean up beautifully after themselves. They do a great job. I also contracted them with their lawn services.

I had a wonderful experience with DNA Tree Service. I called for an estimate and within a day or so, Dave came out and was able to write me a contract for a great price. We had scheduled the service for a few days later, but snow and ice forced him to move it out a few days. Dave was great with communicating the change to me. They did the work over a day and when I came home from work, it looked amazing! His team did an amazing job and did a great job cleaning up after the work was completed. If I had any more trees, DNA would be my first call! I would highly recommend the company to anyone looking for tree removal service.
Description of Work: Removed and disposed of 3 trees and grinded the stump on one tree.

I like using them for snow removal because I don't ever have to call them. I know that if there is snow of any accumulation that they are going to show up and remove it. They don't just do my driveway and walks, they clear both of my cars, including digging out around the car that is parked in the street and making sure that piles of snow are not left on the street so that when it melts, it goes into the grass and doesn't make the front of my house all icy.

His estimate was the best we received from an Angie's List tree-service company in our area -- these varied widely, so I recommend getting several bids. He and his crew showed up on schedule and did an excellent job with the removal and afterward, cleaning up all of the sawdust and other debris -- they even made sure that our cars were clean! On top of it all, Dave's a great guy...we will definitely hire him again when we're ready to move to the back of the house.
Description of Work: Dave removed three 20-year-old arbor vitae that were taking over the house, along with two other mature, overgrown and unattractive shrubs, and ground out a stump from a larger tree that was cut down earlier this year.

We purchased our house a month ago and the garden had clearly been neglected. There was ivy invading the trees and bushes and many dead branches on two huge oaks and a willow. Two beautiful cherry trees had become overgrown and were extending over our roof. Dave gave us a fair price on all this work, and was very understanding about the need to work around certain elements of the garden (pond, gazebo, driveway, brickwork, bushes, etc.). He and his team did a gorgeous job and the trees now have new life and show off the house to much greater advantage. We look forward to working with him in the future.

The estimate was a little high than expected. There was some miscommunication about the estimate. The price he gave for the removal of the additional limbs was higher than we expected. The work was fine. The price and negotiations were not very good.
Description of Work: We had a huge limb in our yard. The estimate was for cutting up the limb, putting it in the chipper, and trim other limbs on the tree.

Response from DNA Tree Service
It is rare that I respond but on this review I felt I must. This work was done right after the derecho (super storm) in 2012. I was receiving hundreds of calls at that time. We had made [member name removed] a priority and got her on the schedule soon after the storm on June 29th, 2012. The contract was to clear downed limbs in yard and remove a number of large hanging limbs on several trees. We showed up as scheduled and the limbs were already removed from the yard, I was unaware of this change until we showed up to do the work. [member name removed] and I spoke and we agreed to take down one of the storm damaged trees instead of cleaning up limbs in the yard which were already gone. The miscommunication spoken of was that I was not notified that they had materially changed the contract. I understand their desire get the limbs gone sooner as they had a birthday party planned and wanted use of the yard. I believe they paid their lawn person to haul the downed limbs away in a truck costing more than had we have done it with the large chipper. I was surprised to see this review as I had no idea that this customer was unhappy. Actually the removal of the agreed tree actually more time consuming for us than removing the limbs that were already on the ground.

Dave Kull came out within a day or two of my call to give me an estimate, which was in line with what I had expected to pay. Then he did the job within few days. Dave is always very prompt and reasonable in several times I used him and will use him again if needed. Thanks, Dave.

Our yard looked well-groomed and so beautiful when the clean up was finished. When they've done tree removal and trimming there has never been damage to our property or neighboring property (real property and yards).
Description of Work: I have been using Dave Kull's services for over 15 years, and am a new Angie's list member. We have used Dave for Gutter Cleaning, , Lawn & Yard Work Leave Removal, Tree Removal & Trimming and Hauling over the years and have always been happy with the results -- looks and safety - no damage from tree removal and a well - groomed look. Our April 2013 work was a "Yard Spring Clean-up." All of our (huge) flower beds were cleaned out, weeded and mulched with bagged mulch to reduce early weed sprouts. Our bushes and small trees were trimmed, our yard was edged and they did some water run off remediation. Recommend them for any job you have. Prices are very reasonable and Dave is very honest.

Since Derecho windstorm had uprooted a very large poplar tree last year, we decided to remove several poplar trees that were on the fence line with our neighbors. We contracted with DNA as we used them last year and they did another fine job. Although it took them longer than anticipated to get started with the job, once they arrived, they were efficient and got done within one day. They had removed the trees with very little turf damage and cleaned up after themselves. We are quite satisfied and will use them again if needed.
Description of Work: We had to remove 3-4 trees that were on the border between our house and our neighbors.

They took much longer to come out and give a quote. Their price was out of line but not as severely as one other company I got a quote from. They were about a $100 more than the three quotes I got. However, I will say that they were upfront with me that as far as when they will be able to come out.

Excellent service, and I always feel like Dave listens to my issues. One of the reasons I switched to Dave for lawn care was that I had trouble communicating with my lawn guy.
Description of Work: I have used Dave Kull for taking care of my tree issues for years and have just starting using him for lawn service because I've been so happy with his tree service. A tree came down in my yard during last summer's derecho. I called Dave in the morning, and by the afternoon, the tree was gone -- I didn't even get to take any impressive pictures. Also, I just moved to a new house, and one of the trees had to come out before it fell over -- Dave identified the problem and then took care of it.

Evaluation and RUSH removal of very tall pine and larger tree. Left my yard cleaner than when they got here!
Description of Work: Had a tree uprooting and hanging over my home and called them in a panic. Dave came out the same day to evaluate and determined tree was dangerous and needed to come out immediately. Sent his team the following day to remove it and they did quick, efficient job. Had another tree near by removed as well since they were out here and I trusted them. Great job, great service!

I contacted DNA and Dave called back within 24 hours. I explained that the stumps were on county property but the county had given me permission to pay to have them removed as the county does not have money to do this. Dave knew about this and said he would contact Ms Utility to check for lines. He did and the work was scheduled. He called the day before to let me know he was coming. I came home and it is cleaned up beautifully.

Dave Kull (who I worked with) was extremely responsive from the beginning of the process, until the work was completed. He and his crew were very very polite and helpful!! The team was exactly on time and worked for most of the day to complete the work. If Dave had any questions or problems, he felt very comfortable checking with me. One minor problem happened, as it often does with tree work, and Dave fixed it in no time and to our complete satisfaction. I would very highly recommend DNA Tree Service!!! A+++ for both work done and ease of working with Dave and his crew. We are tremendously satisfied customers.
Description of Work: DNA Tree Service took down a number of dead trees in our yard, removed extremely overgrown bushes, cut ivy off live trees (on the bottom), cleared all debris and removed branches we had already taken down ourselves.

Description of Work: We had one very large but dead tree removed. Then we had 4 additional trees that were unstable (part of one fell on our house after the derecho storm). We shared part of the cost with a neighbor since the 4 trees were partly on his property.

I can't imagine this job being done better by anyone. Dave is a pleasant and no nonsense person with a strong professional background. Moreover, he has created a highly trained crew which doesn't require much, supervision. The crew was courteous and impressively efficient. During the entire operation Dave's activity was to view and support his climber, a young man who was a true artist at his craft. At the beginning of the project, I was somewhat worried because there was a lot that could be damaged by falling white pine: First, of course were the gutters and roof. Secondly, was a wooden deck directly below the trees, And thirdly, below one of the trees also sat our pond with its easily pierced rubber liner. Well, not to worry, nothing was damaged. They even placed a small tarp over the pond to protect it from debris. Because high tree work is an inherently dangerous activity, you'd like to deal with the best. I think that I did.
Description of Work: I phoned DNA after reading the company's reviews on Angie's List and checking the Maryland Tree Expert list on the Web to verify their license. Dave Kull, the owner, returned my call promptly and was able to come to the house the same day and give an estimate, which i eventually accepted. A few days later DNA removed two 60-foot white pines which were overhanging the rear of our house; they were potential dangers to the house and sources of impressive amounts of falling needles and other gutter clogging debris every autumn. Five or six men were in the crew, which was supervised by Dave. The work took the better part of a day as their climber moved up the trees, securing all limbs to ropes before lowering each to the ground. As fast as the limbs fell, they were carried to the wood chipper where all limbs were mulched and sprayed into a truck. Secondly, the climber began to drop large rounds of wood exactly where he wanted them as he gradually removed both tree trunks. These very heavy pieces were placed in a large- tired wagon where they were carted up to our front lawn at the street. Two days later, they were picked up using a special truck with a crane.
