We have use Murray's several times and have been very pleased with the work. We will definitely continue to use his company in the future. This time, the work included a tree located next to a chicken coop and trailer. He was able to get it down without any damage to the structures.

I got 5 estimates, one of them being $2,000.00 more. Mike and his crew worked hard and went above and beyond to do a good job, and cleaning up and in the time frame given. Mike does all the climbing and cutting himself, impressive for an owner to be hands on. Great work will highly recommend.

Mike and his team arrived as promised and promptly and efficiently got to work, despite it being about 23 degrees that morning. Not only did they do everything he'd spelled out for us, beautifully giving the pecan tree a long-overdue trim, his crew cleaned up yard debris we'd neglected since the remnants of hurricane Matthew came through. In fact, between their hard work, and awesome leaf blower and wood chipper, this was the neatest our backyard has ever been in November! I wasn't around for most of their workday, as I had a brand new grandson to go visit, but my husband was on hand and very impressed with the whole crew. I'd told them my concern for a flying squirrel nest in the oak tree, wanting it protected if it was still inhabited, and the crew understood my concern. My husband witnessed them check it out, and once it was determined to be abandoned, the work continued. We're very pleased with the results of the tree trimming, and how much safer it will be for our grandsons to play in the yard. I still find it dizzying how far up branches were trimmed! And all that foliage off the roof was like a weight off my own shoulders! We would definitely call Murray's Tree Experts again, he's a professional, friendly person with a great team!
Description of Work: We contacted Mike Murray about having an old, established pecan tree cut down, as I was very worried about frequently falling limbs in our backyard, especially where our grandsons played. Mike came out on probably the hottest day this summer (2016), bless him, to evaluate the situation. He convinced my husband, and harder still ME, that the tree was still viable and he could remove dead and burdensome limbs at a fraction of the cost. He agreed to do that work, plus cut several heavy limbs (from both that tree and a nearby oak) that were either on or near our roof for the initially quoted price. He was patient with my questions, and explained everything very clearly.

AWESOME. These guys are great. First of all they showed up when they said they would, which is a big deal to me. My time is important, and were always on time from the quote to the job itself. With the size of the trees, I thought it would take longer than it did, but they were really fast. Very courteous and professional. Excellent work, really good people!
Description of Work: They cut down, and halled away 10-15 tress on my property, they ground all the stumps of all the tress removed and then ground the stumps of all the old stumps I had my yard..

Description of Work: Michael Murray promptly returned my call requesting an estimate to remove a tree that had fallen on my carport. He was able to come the next day. I was impressed with his professional manner and he obviously knew about tree removal. His crew took down the tree that afternoon. Another tree had been uprooted that fell against another tree. His crew returned the following week and removed that tree. They cleaned up all the debris from the tree removal and hauled off the trees. I definitely recommend Michael Murray's tree removal service.

Description of Work: We had a bad storm on Friday and I called Michael Murray, my issue was small so he had his guy stop by on his way home. The job was completed in less than 10 min. He even stacked the wood for me! This is my 2nd time using Murray's Tree Service and I won't be calling the other guy any more. Mike and his team are awesome!!!!

Description of Work: I talked to the owner and he was absolutely wonderful. I explained that this chord of wood was a gift for my brother. It was his birthday the next day but I just got the idea for the gift. He said he would get it delivered in time for his birthday and I could just send a check. HE TRUSTED A VOICE ON THE PHONE FOR HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS! My brother said they helped select a dry area and stacked the wood expertly. He said they were great people to work with. I would tell anyone to use this company.

All limbs touching house or roof were removed. The larger branches were cut into fireplace logs, so that we would be able to use them next year for our heating. Michael and his crew did a fantastic job and even cleaned up with a blower after all the cutting. I would highly recommend Michael Murray and his team for any tree service. They arrived on time and got straight to work. His team even stacked the firewood for us! I am a very satisfied customer.

Michael and his crew was able to come earlier than he had thought which was great! They took down several trees that were leaning over our garage, a dead willow in the front yard and a maple that was growing up in some cedars. They did an excellent job and I would use him again in a minute. They took away all the limbs, leaves and wood. Not even a leaf was left. I chose to leave the stumps and they cut them really close to the ground. You would not even know they had been here except that it looks so great. I wish all companies were professional and hard-working like these folks were. Michael was very nice and explained a lot of stuff to us and told us what to watch for in case our cedars get diseased. I would recommend him to anyone who needs trees removed. Thank you Michael and please thank your crew for us as well:)

Michael and his team showed up when he said, did the exact job he said he would and for a great price. We have used Michael for help with our trees since building our house in 2007. Sadly we have lost a few Bradford Pears to age and some larger trees due to storms. He has always been fair and professional. We would highly recommend him to friends and family.
Description of Work: Michael and his team cut up a Bradford Pear that had a large limb that had broken off at an elderly neighbors house down the road, then moved that wood to our wood pile. Cut up some longs logs so we can use them in the fire pit and then cut up some huge tree trunks from previous trees that had fallen.

Mike and his crew arrived @ 8 a.m. as agreed, got right to work , it was like watching poetry in motion, Mike and his team know their jobs ,and all went very smoothly, they carefully cut the tree in small pieces, carefully lowered the pieces to the ground (often directly to the waiting truck) the ground crew was constantly cleaning up the loose bark, etc. keeping the work zone clean and safe. The tree was cut even with the ground, as requested, they did not even disturb the liriope, which grows right up to the trunk, all wood, bark and sawdust was cleared away from my front door to the street. My driveway was cleaner when they were done than when the arrived. At 10 a.m. they were finished, and mike and I were swapping stories about antique trucks. Be sure to check out his 1974 chevy suburban, what a sweet ride. It is obvious these guys love what they do, take great pride in their work, quick ,clean, attention to detail, 100 % professional. we have more than a dozen large trees on the property, and when they need service, trimming, etc. they will be the only tree service I call. HIGHLY RECCOMEND !!!!
Description of Work: mike responded to my call quickly, evaluated the job, asked questions and answered all of mine before giving me an estimate and explaining the procedure, and why the price. the tree in question was a very old dead maple over 40' tall, and being dead about 2 years was in a weak, brittle condition. located at the junction of 2 driveways, close to 2 homes, and hopelessly tangled in powerlines , less than a foot from a telephone pole. not a job for amateures !!!!

We have used Michael many times at our personal home. We live in a very wooded area and have lost several Bradford Pear trees and large hardwood trees due to storms, wind and lightening. Michael has also cut down a tree at our rental property in Raleigh. He has always given a fair and reasonable quote and completed the job as he said and when he said. I would recommend him to my friends and family.

Murray's Tree Experts responded to our request the next morning after filling out the request for contact on Angie's List. The meet us the next evening to look at the trees, and made an appointment for the following week. They had a cancellation and asked if they could come early. The came cut the trees, removed the debris and ground the stumps. Other than a few flowers lost that surrounded the trees, you could not tell they had been there or there used to be trees growing there. We would use them again if the need arises.

Mr. Murray and his crew did an outstanding job. They scheduled an appointment that was convenient for both of us, arrived on time, and went straight to work. Half of the job was involved in rigging the ropes from adjacent trees. Then they began cutting sections off the trunk of the removal tree while slowly lowering the tree to the ground. The tree that was removed was approximately 104 feet tall, so you can imagine that it took a quite a few slices to bring it down to a workable size. Mr. Murray and his crew removed the cuttings and cleaned up the area where they had worked. I was very impressed and recommend Murray's Tree Experts to anyone in our area.

We called Mr. Murray and left a message on his business voicemail after hours on a Friday night. We were expecting a call on Monday, but were surprised when he returned our call later on Friday night. Mr.Murray offered to come to our house on Sunday evening to provide an estimate. Amazing! Mr.Murray was on time for the estimate and scheduled the work for that Wednesday. I was a little concerned about the trees being so close to our house and garage but I felt better knowing that he was fully insured. He arrived at 7:30am with two helpers and started work right away. Murray Tree Experts have no fear and are very efficient. They are also very cautious around your house and landscaping. They cleaned up every bit of debris in the yard afterwards and must have blown the driveway clean with a leaf blower. Everything was tidy and spotless. I was so impressed by their professionalism and pride in their work. Anyone in a fifty mile radius should have Murray Tree Experts on speed dial for anything related to trees! If we ever need any other tree work done, we are calling Mike Murray!
Description of Work: Took down a large pecan tree that was a nuisance and an over-grown mimosa tree that was not healthy. Also trimmed some limbs on an elm tree that was rubbing against our roof and an maple tree that was dropping sap on our vehicles.

Came on time to give us an estimate. We were not home when they did the work and we were amazed when we got home! Everything looks so great now and we are very pleased! They carted everything away and the place looks great! Will definitely contact them again without hesitation!
Description of Work: They trimmed all the low lying branches around the property, ground the huge root ball of a tree that had fallen over, took down another tree that was leaning over the garage, cleared all these smaller pines behind the garage, removed a dead limb high up in another tree that we were worried about and trimmed all the lower branches too. Finally, our property provides a view of the lake and they cleared the underbrush so we now have a better view!

Murray's Tree Service did an excellent job. My husband called to request an estimate. Michael came out on August 1 and gave us an estimate of $800.00. After getting a couple other estimates, we selected Murray's Tree Service due to his professionalism, more than his price. His price was comparable to the others. An appointment was made for August 27, 2013 at 7:30 and we were told the job would be completed by 11:00 a.m. They arrived at approximately 7:20 a.m. on the scheduled day. They cut down the 2 trees and trimmed/repaired 2. They completely grinded the stumps of the 2 trees that was cut down, plus a 3rd that was already there. Michael had approximately 4 helpers. They did a great job cleaning up, even picked up the balls from the gum tree. Michael also gave us advice on the type trees we could plant and the best time to plant. All workers were very pleasant and professional. We would definitely recommend Murray's Tree Service and use them again.
Description of Work: Murray,s Tree service cut down 2 trees, trimmed 2 and applied a sealing substance to keep the water from getting inside the tree. They also grinded 3 tree stumps.

Called Murrays tree service on Monday afternoon and he set up a appointment to come look at job on Tues morning. He was very prompt and gave me a quote immediately. I told him to go with the job and was told he would be there early the next morning. He arrived on time with his crew and proceeded to go to work. At 11:00 am all work was completed . Very professional job and will highly recommend them to anyone who wants tree work done. In fact he will be taken down a few more trees for me in the future.

Mr. Murray gave us a free estimate. He was very professional and friendly. After we decided to move forward with him, he gave us a time he and his crew would arrive. They were early both days and worked hard. They completed the job in the time that he gave me and they removed all debris and cleaned up nicely. I was more than satisfied with the job that was done. I would use Murray's again and would recommend them.

It went very well. I am pleased with the entire job. He offered to remove the trees but I will be using them as firewood. He also gave me an estimate on removal of other trees as he could look around my yard and tell me what was in danger of falling on my house.
Description of Work: Mr. Murray was called to give me an estimate to drop two large maple trees in my back yard in close proximity to my house and storage shed. I accepeted his bid and he was there early on the morning of job. He was very professional and courteous. He is skilled and knowledgable in his profession. He dropped trees and cut them up and I was very satisfied with the wortk performed. I would give him an excellent rating.
