We used this company twice. We have a lot of large trees on our property that needed trimming to let some light in. They did a great job with trimming large trees and pruning and shaping our japanese maple. The second time we needed to take down the large ash tree in the back yard that was damaged by heavy snow. The access to the back yard is limited, so they brought the spider lift to do the job. Overall the experience was very good. Scott was somewhat slow to answer my calls the first time, but otherwise they were always on time and finished the job quickly and left everything clean and undamaged after work.

Jesse is a good point man for the company. Starting with introductions, polite. Paid close attention to directions given on pruning and executed them well. The two other gentlemen stayed busy and cleaned up as the branches came down and they were done in no time at all. These guys are hard working professionals and I would hire them again, Keep up the good work.

Hired Scott and Above and Beyond to tidy up a large tree in the backyard of the house we moved into last year. The tree was huge and pretty much shaded the entire yard. Scott came out and provided me with a same-day quote for the work that actually was a little cheaper than another quote we received. Based on the good reviews I contracted Scott's company to do the work. His crew arrived on time and were great, they were respectful, no cursing on the job and spent time not only addressing the tree but also tidying up after they had done the work to the point that not a single leaf was left on the ground of my backyard. Very professional and would absolutely hire again

They were very nice young men, but they pulled the truck up and it sunk my driveway. They said, "Well, we're going to pull the truck up in your yard." I'm in a city and they really didn't have a lot of work to do on the tree, one was up there. It might have taken two hours. They cleaned it up nicely, but it wasn't like it was a big job. I have a blacktop and I had it coated a couple of weeks before. So it looked pretty nice. But then, when they pulled up, it was unbelievable. I walked out the door and almost tripped because it must have been a couple of inches or more, all the way down, pretty much. I was really very disappointed because actually I signed an agreement. It said, "If there is any damage to the driveway, we're not responsible." They could have taken all those branches out because it wouldn't have taken much to do that. I've had trucks up in the driveway and there has been no problem, but that particular truck, where they put the tree thing, it must have a really big motor. It was very heavy. I've had trucks in the driveway. I've had them in here and I have not had a problem. But when they pulled that up, it was the front of that truck or whatever it was, it was tremendous. It sunk my driveway. So I was really kind of disappointed. Their work was fine. They weren't responsible. The price was good, they were in line. They did respond very well.

Above & Beyond Tree Expert Co came with their equipments, got up on their bucket ladders, and they went up and trimmed all of our trees. We have some pretty big dawn redwoods and some huge weeping willows and they trimmed and shaped the trees. They just did an all-around job besides taking off the big broken branches, they trimmed the trees and shaped them and did a wonderful job. Their charge was not cheap, but compared to other estimates, this was atleast a few hundred dollars less.

He is a true arborist who is head of the company and hires other arborists to do the trimming. After the October storm, we had a linden tree that was totally misshapen and because he has knowledge of how the tree will grow, he was able to restore. After a couple of years, it’s a beautiful shape when it was severely damaged after that storm. I’m totally pleased. He cleans up after himself and he comes out for a free estimate. He was on time and I was happy with him.

I called for an estimate and Scott was here within two days.  We set up a date for the work to be done.  That evening I came home from work, the tree was gone and there was absolutly no debris left from it.

I was concerned about a tall spruce tree that was beginning to uproot and lean into my neighbor's yard. I called Above and Beyond, the owner came out promptly to check it out and to give me an estimate which I felt was reasonable. Within a couple of days a crew of three men was here to take the tree down. They were very professional and also very personable. They came at the time they said they would, and within about an hour and a half they had the tree down, all the wood in the chipper, and the lawn area cleaned up. I definitely would recommend them to anyone.
