Tree Service
Bob came and explained in great detail how the work would be performed by qualified workers. They were to take down two trees, trim dead wood from others and leave the limb wood for me to split and burn. The only thing the left me was three severely damaged shrubs, deep divots in the yard, and a torn screen on my window. Various voice mails and texts from Bob who said he would get me wood and fix the divots. None of that happened and no one from the company will respond to emails, texts, or phone calls.

The shed had suffered a bit of initial damage from the tree falling, and Bob's crew did a great job of removing it while avoiding further damage. I just asked him to cut the tree into manageable sections and leave it for me so that I could re-purpose the wood. He did exactly what I asked for and was communicative throughout the process from estimate to performing the work. Would definitely use this company again.

Bob was very friendly and came and explained the work to be done. He told us when the work was to be done and that was when it was done. Although the job didn’t get finished in one day he didn’t let it linger and promptly finished the work. Very satisfied with the job and the professionalism of his staff.

This was a wonderful experience for us! Bob was super-responsive, and really helpful and courteous during the walk-through. Bob's crew of several men completed the work in a morning. They expertly removed the fallen tree, taking care not to damage the lawn. They also trimmed nearby trees that had been damaged by the falling oak. They climbed the double-trunked oak and topped it, and left the trunks standing for habitat, as I had asked. They also cut the branches into firewood lengths. They did a beautiful job of pruning and thinning, and cleaned it all up. I added a couple of other smaller trees to the job as they were working, and they took care of those, too. I would recommend this company most highly!

Bob and his crew were awesome.  We bought a new house with many trees that had not been touched in several years.  Bob walked the property with me and identified some problem areas.  Based on conversations with other folks in the area, I know I got a great deal.  They took down the dead or diseased trees, trimmed all the deadwood on the others, ground the stumps, and even filled in any divots with some topsoil and grass seed.  I should mention there weren't too many divots because they used a good deal of plywood to protect my yard.  A+ and Thank you Bob.

Bob was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable above the various trees in question and offered several options for us to consider. There was no pressure as to which option to choose. The crew was all work and completed most of the work Saturday and completed it Monday. Aside from the missing trees, there was little to indicate they were there as the crew did a thorough job of cleaning up after themselves.

I was very impressed with him at the estimate. Very honest. Got to work quickly which was very appreciated since one tree was rotted and I didn't want it to fall onto anything. They came the day after the estimate to do the 2 smaller trees then another day soon after to finish up all the rest of the work.

Unlike a couple competitors, Bob Lester did not try to gauge me for storm cleanup.  The whole interaction was pleasant and professional, and I appreciated that the company took great pains to ensure their heavy equipment did no damage to the boardwalk pathway in my yard.

We had 3 bids on the work all were fairly similar, but Bob lester's quote did included a little more in the pricing. We decided to go with Bob Lester partly because of the pricing, but also because Bob appeared to be very honest and was extremely helpful. When they came out to do the job they were very prompt and did the job as expected, the were extremely well organized, clearing as they were going. They even did a few extra things we were not initially anticipating to help us out. Overall we were very impressed with Bob Lester and his team and we will definitely use them again for our tree maintenance.

He is one of the best I’ve ever met in my life. He’s honest, on time and does the job very well. I appreciate his work. I’m going to keep him as my tree service man. I’m very happy that I have him. He’s so nice. He’s so knowledgeable. He would ground down the stump on the sugar maple. He knows what to do. He does a neat job. He does it very reasonably. Everything he did was good. I would have him again and again for as long as I need him.

Great!
Our community contacted five tree service companies. Three companies were chosen for bids. Bob Lester was knowledgable, suggested which trees to remove and advised which ones to keep. Two trees we thought needed to be removed he advised to trim because of the good health of the trees. Both of these trees provide major shade to our home and we appreciated the time he took to inform us. Two of the trees spread into our neighbors yard and again we learned that limbs extending into another's' property had to have their permission to be removed. Three more of our neighbors joined into removing trees. The two other companies just marked the trees, never knocked on the door, and one sent us someone else's bid. We feel we got the right company for the job and will use this company again.
