Silva Guard

Very very disappointed in Silva Guard. They were recommeden by the NJ Arborist Association....so they charge a lot. They sprayed our trees a month later then their own schedule...after infestations and fungus had already set in. They did not follow up on their own spray program or checked up on our beautiful old trees. Had to constantly call them and ask owner to help. He would promise results only to have the whole cycle start over. Would not recommend to anyone who cares about their trees.

We have been using Silva Guard for years for all of our tree care needs. They provide good service at a reasonable price.

We have many trees near the house so I asked Silva Guard to remove limbs that could cause problems if they fell on the house (an early snow storm in 2011 that came before the trees had lost their leaves caused a branch to crash through the roof). They gave a very detailed estimate. For obvious business they also recommend working on some other trees further from the house, but they showed the price for each tree they proposed working on.so I could pick and chose what to do. They came more or less when they said they would (they apparently do a lot of emergency work for commercial groups so when there is a storm they may get delayed, but since all of their work is outside the house, this is not a problem). They got most of the work done the first day, but had to return two days later to finish. Everything was cleaned up very well, and the wood chips (that I wanted to keep) were dumped exactly where I requested. After they left I checked the work against the quote list, and noticed that one branch had not been removed. They immediately agreed to come back and take care of it.
I would have rated them as an and quot;Aand quot; except that I had used them once before when I had one tree felled but left laying on the ground since it was in an out of the way place, but on that occasion they left a lot of small branches laying around in the area that I had to go move myself. I suppose that may have been my error in not being clearer about what I wanted done - and I did use them again after that.

They do good work. They are very professional and prompt.
