The crew that showed up to do the work went above and beyond what I expected. They removed all the limbs that was planned, and they also removed some extra limbs that my wife wanted to have removed. The crew worked well with each other and they were helpful and courteous to my family. They cleaned up everything even some of the limbs that I had cut down earlier. Tom Gamma was the arborist that gave me the price quote for the work. He was very professional and knew exactly what needed to be done. He even stopped by to check on the crew and the progress of the work. Communication between the office and all the workers was extremely convenient and they were very responsive to any questions I had and my needs. During the time the crew was working at my house several of my neighbors contacted them in regards to work. My neighbor also had me ask Tom to get them quotes for work on one of their trees. I was very pleased with all the work completed and will refer Gamma to friends and family and use them again myself.

I've been a longtime customer of Gamma. For a while they were outbid by another company. After getting a bid from this other company for my latest job I decided to give Gamma a try again. They were significantly less expensive this time. I have always known Gamma to be professionals. I have also recommended Gamma to friends and their feedback was similar. Gamma arrived on time, they completed the work promptly, the clean up the site thoroughly. While I'm not a fan of using chainsaws for pruning I understand it. Given that, the results were esthetically pleasing as viewed from the street. I have used Gamma for decades and--this is important--am familiar with how their work ages. The shaping and pruning choices they make add to the attractiveness of the trees over the years.

That was a real hassle.  Our insurance paid probably most of it.  I never give anybody an A because that would be perfect, and nobody's perfect.

Called them for an estimate. Had to recall them since no one called me back. When they finally did call me, they came out, gave me and gave me an estimate. I called them back and they stated they would come out within a two week period but on the scheduled day, they didn't show. I called them since I was off work that day and was told they are 4-6 weeks from doing the work I needed done. Since the work I needed done couldn't wait that long, I needed to go with another company. I felt they didn't want the job, was not delivering good customer service when I had to call back to basically get service. I chose them in the past several times but will no longer recommend this company.

I use them occasionally. They gave me a recommendation about replacing the tree because it was going to die. But it's still healthy. But the actual trimming of the tree was excellent.

I have used them several times before, and I am happy with their work. I will use them again.

Great! No straggling limbs have fallen during the recent high winds and rain. Neighbors are even commenting about our previously ugly tree. I highly recommend Gamma Tree Service!

We had a 35 ft. tree that died over the summer and had to come down.
We got three estimates and 9/28/15 we got one from Gamma that tied with the lowest one.
We had used Gamma twice before and were satisfied with the work, so we felt comfortable selecting them.
If we had known it would take 10 weeks and many phone calls for them to complete the job, we would have selected someone else.
Here's the timeline:
9/28/15 - received estimate and told it would take "a couple of weeks".
11/17/15 - tree cut down and branches removed just hours before the second tree service we called was scheduled to come out. Gamma workers gave us no advance alert they were coming and did not remove the stump.
11/19/15 - Received invoice for the job including the stump removal not performed "payable upon receipt"
12/11/15 - Stump finally ground out
We have no issue with the quality of the work. However, the poor communication and response undermined most of our opinion about the service. Our job was obviously too small and unimportant to matter to them. In this case, they never should have accepted it and saved us both the aggravation. The only prompt service was sending the invoice.
Too bad, we used to think highly of Gamma.

Estimate was given promptly.  They accelerated the work for me due to other work I need done under the removed trees and cleaned up well - They were polite and professional.   My big oaks are in "good hands" with the arborists' expertise that Gamma Tree Experts provided.

Also known as Gamma Shield Shade Tree, this was the most professional of the 4 companies I contacted to provide estimates. Their ratings on this list also recommended them. It took them about a week to get out to do the estimate, and then they mailed it in writing to me. The estimate was in line with the other 2 that i received (all between $1500 and $1700, and all about 4 times more than I paid for the same job 5 years ago!!!). They scheduled the day, worked from a truck-cherry picker. Other than removing a lot more growth than i expected and that they described on the phone and in writing, I was pleased with the job. I wasn't there when the work was done, and realized when talking on the phone to my key contact (who'd I'd assume was doing the job himself), that the job was being done by some other worker/s. But all in all a good transaction, very professional, and would use again if i couldn't find someone to do it for a lot less. I do have some lingering concern about the health of the heavily trimmed and pruned trees in the summer heat.

They did an okay job, they took the big stumps away but left a lot of debris, they did not clean up very well after themselves. I would have to think hard about using them again.

The workers arrived promptly and did a great job. They cleaned up all the debris and asked questions when they needed to.
