It was difficult to originally establish contact with the person doing the estimate. Once I established contact and got a date and time for the estimate, they did a great job. They gave a thorough estimate of things that needed to be done around our new house. They brought a crew and completed the job quickly and did a great job.
Description of Work: Pruned trees and bushes around our home before winter.

The service went great. They were awesome. They were able to come out to my home and do the quote while I was away from home. They left the quote in the mailbox for me. I called them back and they came out to do the service. It was very easy.

Great service! Promptly returned calls and performed services the following week. Pleasant and professional. They worked around my son's naptime. Work was done well and they cleaned up everything. The price was very reasonable. I would hire them again.

The crew did a very nice job of removing the Pine from a tricky location. They also did an excellent job of pruning branches for the visual aesthetics (we live on a lake) and the health of the trees. The crew was on time and did a nice job of cleaning the debris left behind from their work. I used St. Croix one other time to remove a tree that fell due to a windstorm and they also did a great job then. I've been very pleased with their service.
Description of Work: St. Croix did a removal of a tall Pine tree on a hillside location and selective pruning of a number of Pine and Oak trees. Their certified arborist also evaluated the condition of our many trees and made recommendations to keep them in great shape.

I will say that they were very fast. The city had given me several different companies to contact. They came out and gave me an estimate, and they said that there were three trees, not two trees, as the city had marked. They did not have to be really careful, because of the area, but they were still very neat. They cleaned up very well after themselves, and I have called them again for an estimate on a tree that fell on my property.
Description of Work: They removed three trees that wilt. They were very large trees.

The city where we live tagged two diseased elms for removal within ten days of certified letter receipt. We called St Croix because our next door neighbor had used them twice. They promptly came out and gave us a detailed estimate of the cost of the necessary work and some other work that we were considering having done at the same time. We called St Croix and explained which parts of the estimate we wanted completed and were given a time frame within which they said they would be able to fit us into their schedule. I called the city inspector because we were not going to be able to comply with the ten day deadline. The inspector was clearly familiar with St Croix because he easily extended the deadline when I told him who was going to do the job. Within the scheduled time period, three employees arrived with a large truck and crane and went to work. The work was completed in less than a day without incident. Everything asked to be done was professionally accomplished. All three employees were very personable and took great care to drop the trees and their limbs in such a way as to avoid my wife's gardens near and around the trees. They also took great care to clean up all the small branches and trimmings and rake the yard before leaving.
Description of Work: Two diseased elms were removed, one box elder was removed and one ash tree was trimmed.

called them abut three weeks ago to come out and trim 8 trees. They said they would have the arborist call us and nobody ever got back to us. He finally called back and he did not show to the appointment that was scheduled. We had used them again in the past and had a good experience, but we are done with them and we wont be using them anymore.

They had four people at the beginning of the project and then a fifth and the supervisor came out as well. They let us watch from the front yard, they were very fast and efficient. They were very careful about the fences that we didn't want damaged. They cut up the tree on site, and the larger pieces they took with them, although they did offer for us to come to the yard and pick up some mulch whenever we wanted since they had to grind the tree elsewhere. The lilac bushes took three people to do.
Description of Work: I found this company on Angie's List, and used them based on their reviews. They removed a willow and ground out the stump. If it was less than 100 ft tall, I would be surprised. They pruned about 8 very large lilac bushes as well.

The crew arrived as scheduled and removed the trees without incident. The crew chief did an exceptional job of thinning the pagoda dogwood. All tree debris was removed and there was no sign of any mess after the crew left. We were extremely pleased. This was the third time we have used St. Croix and every experience has been a pleasure. This was even more so as the original estimate was $600 and the job only cost $530.00!

St. Croix was wonderful to work with. We have some beautiful old growth trees and they trimmed them properly (i.e., didn't butcher them). Also they were creative in finding a solution to securing a limb on a big old Maple and send periodic reminders for free status checks of their work. I highly recommend St. Croix Tree Service!

I got the estimate from this company after having just received another bid for more than twice as much ($1250). After reading what other Angie's list subscribers wrote, I accepted their bid. Even though they were quite busy because of the storm, they were able to come out the next day because they gave me priority because the branch was still on the roof. They did an excellent job of removing the branch, plus some smaller ones that were damaged. The tree sits in a mulch bed with a lot of decorative plants in it, and they did not damage any of the other plants. They hauled away the wood, and did an excellent job of cleaning up.
Description of Work: During a recent storm, we had a large branch from an elm tree break off and fall on the garage roof. They removed the branch and hauled it away. In addition, they attached a cable between the other two main branches of the tree to stabilize the tree and help prevent further damage.

Chris, the arborist, was very helpful in answering my "dumb" questions about removing trees. He came out to my house twice! The team that removed the trees was just amazingly efficient - and careful. Luckily, I work from home so I got to see the whole operation. All of our arborvitaes are right next to our home, and about 30 feet high. They came down one by one, nowhere near the house, and were immediately cut up and removed into their truck. The next day, the stump grinder came out with his equipment and quickly got rid of all the stumps. He even suggested I close my windows because the machine emits carbon monoxide and he didn't want it going in my house. Thanks for doing a great job on what I thought was a very difficult endeavor! (And at such a reasonable price!)
Description of Work: St. Croix tree service removed 7 arborvitae trees and 1 boxelder tree. The latter was in a very difficult place, in between our house and the next door neighbor's house about 10 feet away. Additionally, the electricity/phone wires were tangled in the tree's branches. They very carefully cut around the wires and got the tree out safely. They also ground up all the stumps so that we could plant in these areas.

ST. CROIX TREE SERVICE IS A+++ IN OUR BOOK. WE'LL NEVER USE ANOTHER TREE SERVICE AGAIN.
Description of Work: THEY CAME OUT TO CLEAN UP THE MESS CREATED BY ANOTHER TREE SERVICE. ST. CROIX TREE HAS ALWAYS DONE ALL OF OUR TREE SERVICE WORK (AND SINCE WE LIVE IN A OLD, HEAVILY-WOODED AREA, THEY'VE DONE WORK FOR US MANY TIMES) AND ARE 100% AN A+ FIRM. WE HAD AN EMERGENCY OCCUR WHEN THEY WEREN'T AVAILABLE AND ANOTHER COMPANY CAME OUT TO DO THE WORK. THAT COMPANY TOOK DOWN A 70' OAK TREE AND LANDED IT SQUARELY ON TOP OF 4 OTHER TREES WE'D SPECIFICALLY SAID WE WANTED TO SAVE. NOW WE HAD 5 TREES TO CUT DOWN AND HAUL OUT! ST. CROIX TREE SERVICE CAME OUT TO CLEAN UP THE WHOLE MESS. WE RECOMMEND THEM HIGHLY TO ANYONE WHO HAS TREE ISSUES.
