Almstead Tree & Shrub Care Co

I hired Almstead to remove some dead trees and unwanted saplings in my yard and the work they did was excellent. Their team of Antonio, Javier and Luis worked efficiently and took extra care to not damage any of our flowering plants. I would definitely hire Almstead again for any future tree work that I will need.

I had three huge trees removed today from my yard in what I thought would be a difficult job, between other trees, near a fence, surrounded by bushes I had recently planted. Matt, Jose, Luis and Sylvester did an amazing job! Everything went smoothly and as planned, better than I could have imagined! I have never seen anything like it! They are so skilled! I HIGHLY recommend their service!

Matt first came to give me an estimate and was very professional . The quote was generous comparaes to save a tree , Garrison tree and bartlet. The team came exactly on time like Matt stated and I didn’t have to wait a mont or so for the job to be done . The team that came led by Carlos and two others were amazing . Words cannot explain how awesome they were and I highly recommended this crew . They explained everything by telling me what they were doing why they were doing it and cleaned up .

Very pleased with Almstead's services, including speaking with Kristen, Michael's tree inspections and the pruning crew. The 3 crew members were polite, very efficient, and did a great job of "cleaning up." Also impressed with Almstead's equipment and technology.

I contacted them in June to do pruning and tree removal. They came and gave me a quote, which I accepted and paid them 50 percent. They never came. Over the ensuing four months I kept calling and being told the arborist would call mem but he never did. I finally cancelled all service (I had used them for 20 years) and demanded a refund, which they still haven't provided. They're apologetic when I call them (seems clear I'm not alone in dissatisfaction), but otherwise unresponsive.

Wonderful work. Thorough. When I arrived.home later that day, the property was spotless and neat. I would definitely use them again and refer them to acquaintances of mjne.

Very happy with Almstead. Very professional, knowledgeable and honest.

Except for delays in scheduling the work went well. The arborist did what was needed and the trees are looking better. Time will tell. This was the first time I was using this company for tree service and I wasn't familiar with their procedures. First the arborist comes out to assess the situation and make a proposal. It takes a while to schedule this appointment. Then they require a deposit or prepayment before scheduling. Then it takes about 2-3 weeks to get onto the schedule, so you may have to allow more than a month from first appointment until the work is actually done. The company I had been using for many years did not require pre-payment and scheduling was quicker, possibly because they have a lot of customers in the area, so I didn't have to plan so far in advance. With routine tree work it's not a problem but when your trees are infested with insects that are slowly killing them, it's nerve wracking to have to wait for the treatment! Their prices were in line with the other large tree company I have used but somewhat higher than smaller outfits. I feel confident that I got a good job and will use them in the future.

Did a professional and clean job

Felled about four large trees and trimmed about 4 others with shrubbery.

I just started with them but I'm satisfied.

Shrubs were sprayed three times in the spring by Almstead. Shrubs are now shedding majority of leaves due to fungal damage. The arborist struggled to identify the issue.  When damage began appearing it took me multiple phone calls within more than a week to get my arborist on the phone. The arborist appeared disinterested and cancelled the account when he learnt of spreading damage to the plant. Pictures available. I recruited another arborist who diagnosed and proposed a treatment. Spraying was described as an ineffective treatment in this situation.

They did a good job and were pleasant but he didn’t seem very knowledgeable.

Everything went well.

Excellent and prompt service

Maintaining healthy trees and shrubs requires year-round maintenance: frost protection, insect treatment, deer repellant, etc. Every year an Almstead representative comes and make an assessment of the property and never try to push unneeded work. All of this is reasonably priced. When we had a fierce storm two years ago and a tree came down across the driveway, the came and took care of it promptly even though they were deluged with work. Almstead is a reputable, reliable tree and shrub care service. Hire them and then forget about your tree care as they stay on top of the state of your trees and shrubs.

I think they're uneven. One time they said they were going to come but one time they called and said they were coming but they never showed up. They guy said that he was there but he wasn't. They went to the wrong home. About three weeks ago they said weather permitted they would come out, but they never came out.  They said they would come but they never came again.  Last week the sign was there but it isn't good.

It is fine. I like their value for the money.

It went very well. They are excellent. They are reliable. They always give me a written statement when they leave.

They did what I hired them to do. They did fine. I have no hesitation recommending them. Their cost seemed high but I had used them before. It was a time when all of the companies were really busy after the storm. It did take a while to get done since we were not an emergency, but I understood that.
