Chris (who is a really knowledgable arborist) visited my property to help me come up with a plan to care for the trees I had and plant new trees. He did a tour of the property, then sent me a few handouts about pruning trees and trees that successfully grow in the Northeast. Everything I got was information I could have looked up in a simple online search. I was disappointed not to get anything specific to my property, so I did some research based on what he sent me and wrote him a note asking him what he thought of the tree selections I'd made for spring planting. Despite reaching out to him twice and his secretary once, I've never heard back from them over the course of about two months. I did get a really nice, detailed quote for trimming a huge tree on my property- wish they'd put that same energy and detail into a plan for what trees to grow on my property.

The owner came right on time to do an estimate which he submitted to us in writing via e-mail. We accepted the proposal and scheduled the work to be done approximately 6 weeks later. It was a 2 day project; each day they arrived by 8 a.m. and immediately started work.The work was incredibly well coordinated; with the crew and equipment there was never an idle moment. No problems and everything finished and cleaned up ahead of schedule. They exceeded our expectations in every way and we would highly recommend this company w/o reservation.

Hired Cayuga Tree Service twice for the same chestnut tree. One third of the massive tree fell during a very wet spring about 8 years ago. Chris was able to save what remained, balanced it and cabled it to another tree to prevent it from falling on the house in the event it toppled. The tree was breathtaking for another six years before succumbing to its disease. They came back and removed the still huge tree quickly and professionally, leaving very little evidence that a tree had ever been there.

Excellent crew, very attentive. We had him just trim some trees and he operated the big piece of machinery. His guys that he had around were asking if there's anything else they can end up doing or any other branches that we had while the whole thing was going down. It was very good.

It went perfectly! Professional, friendly service. And, they were quick! I had two other services quote on the project and this was by far the most reasonable. In addition, one of the other services quoted me $250 to treat my star magnolia for scale (two times); Cayuga Tree Service representative told me how I could do it for less than one-tenth of the quoted price myself! I highly recommend this company.

Very, very professional. My husband was very happy that the owner is an arborist and was very knowledgeable about the care of trees.

They came out on a Friday to check out what needed to be done. I recived an estimate on Monday and the work was performed a week later. They did a wonderful job. It opened up the view of my lakefront house. Excellent job!

I chose them because they are a local, insured company that was recommended to me. I will use them again in the future.

They were able to work me into their schedule very quickly. They came in full force to get four trees out rapidly, two of which were extremely large. I loved that they responded immediately to my request for a quote and scheduling my business. Their prices are extremely reasonable. I will use them again for trimming and fertilization of my trees. I strongly recommend them.

I have used Cayuga Tree Service for twenty years for all of my tree work and they have done a lot of it since my house sets in the middle of two acres of trees. As with all of my previous experience, Christopher the owner was prompt in coming to my house to give me an estimate and quick to schedule and perform the work. They showed up when they said they would and cleaned up and took away all debris. In fact, if I hadn't been home when they performed the work I would hardly have known they were here except the nice pile of cut up logs for the fireplace. I would highly recommend them for any and all tree service. They are prompt, professional, courteous, have good people and have top shelf equipment.

They first visited and took notes. We recieved a written proposal in the mail. We called to accept the proposal and to schedule the time estimated for the work to be performed. They arrived on schedule, completed the job and left the yard looking much better than when they arrived. The crew was very efficient.

Each time they were excellent. Very punctual and professional. The trees removed were quite large and they had the right equipment for the job.

Chris came out to consult on how best to take care of the trees in our newly acquired backyard. He submitted a detailed plan and estimate, and came back to do the work. Removing the huge dying maple was a massive job, requiring heavy machinery. He came back in the spring (after the salt was gone from the roads) to grind the stumps.
