It went pretty well. These guys have done a pretty good job for us twice now. The guys who cut the trees are a little rough but the office folks are very friendly. What I like best...they don;t ever leave a mess. They clean up everything they cut.

The salesperson who did the estimate and the office staff were very professional. However the crew was supposed to let me know when they were coming, and on the day they were scheduled, they didn't show up until 5pm and didn't call before they came. They were in a big hurry to go home and rushed through the job leaving debris. One crew member was very helpful, though. They also didn't have a root grinder so said they needed to come back. I had to call them to remind them to come back. When they did, they removed only one of the stumps needed, so I had to call them again. They finally finished the job after having to dog them for about a month. I expected better from their reputation and ratings.

They did a fairly good job overall, but did not let me know when they were coming. I liked my main contact person. However, a second sales person came when they were about finished. I think they must have needed the equipment for another job. At any rate, they were in a hurry to leave. One of my big trees is now heavy on the front side. When I asked about it, the 2nd sales person told me that it looked great.

They were wonderful.  They did an excellent job.  They cleaned up after themselves and brought a wood chipper.  It was like they had never been there.  They were conscientious and easy to work with.  I would recommend them to others.

They showed up at 2pm.  I asked if they would finish that day and was told yes.  They did not.  I asked for the chips and firewood and they left these, but didn't stack the firewood like they said they would.

They left drink containers in the yard, otherwise cleanup was ok.

It was a very good price however.

They did a nice job. I had gotten about 5 estimates and their pricing was reasonable. They weren't the lowest but kind of in the middle. The company was very responsive. I will them again in the future.

They came with a good-sized crew for the job (9 trees) & impressive equipment. The job was finished in one day, to my total satisfaction! I shall be using them again in the near future. Robbie, the on-site rep. & my office contact were truly professional. The 5 guys who did the tree removal really knew their jobs, because I observed them in action off & on throughout the day.

They really do excellent work. However, this last time, because of money concerns I asked them to not do everything. I called to ask them to come back for some additional work and they did not call back to set up the appointment. I called again and they still failed to call for the appointment time. When they do show up, they do wonderful work. I was disappointed that they did not respond, but they are masters at what they do, so I will try them one more time. Their pricing is good and they do a great job.

They did a really wonderful job. They gave me a discounted price because I have a lot of trees, and I will absolutely use them again.

I called them and they gave me a price. I was not at home when they came out and did the job. They showed up on time and cleaned up well. I was overall satisfied with them. Their quality of service, punctuality, responsiveness and professionalism were all great. I would recommend them to others.

Went well. I thought it might have been a little overpriced, but I also didn't bid the job.

I was pleased. Their advice seemed to help, my tree was in bad condition. They were supposed to come out a day before, but didn't make it or call me to let me know. I would use them again.

I found their threatening approach concerning my older tree to be very unprofessional. Because I enjoy trees so much, I wasn't going to let them take the tree down without having a few other opinions. The other companies felt that they would be able to save the tree through cabling and weight reduction. When they looked at the other trees they said Cartwright had done a "hack job" and my trees would need at least a year to recover. I'm still not a hundred percent sure if they are true, certified arborists. I never received a straight answer from them.

I told her I was home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and a crew came to my house the following Wednesday. Kris wasn't there, but the man in charge had a copy of her paperwork. She had thought we might need to remove the bottom two branches, but I told the crew chief as I had told her, that I liked the privacy provided by the lower branches. He agreed, and trimmed up the bottom smaller branches, which had been hanging low over the yard. I was concerned about branches hanging over the yards of my neighbors on either side. He told me they could be cut back without damaging the tree. They brought three trucks, including a cherry picker for the tallest branches, and a wood chipper. They cleaned up everything before they left, and were extremely friendly and professional. I would definitely use them again, and would recommend them to others.

I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH WORK DONE. THE GENTLEMEN WERE FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL. THEY CLEANED THE WORK AREA AND RAKED AS WELL. I SPOTTED THEIR VEHICLES WORKING AT OTHER HOMES AND THEY CAME DOWN THE SAME DAY AND FINISHED THE JOB.
