Wow. That's how I'm starting off this review for Dave and his crew at Sunburst Tree Experts. They say perfection cannot be achieved, but my experience with Sunburst Tree Experts would come as close to that as possible. From the initial estimate to payment, Dave and his crew did a phenomenal job with removing several large oaks from my yard, grinding down the stumps, and pruning a Japanese maple tree. They actually left my yard in better condition from a clean-up aspect than when they arrived. You would not have known that I had any tree service performed at my house - that's how pristine Dave and his crew left my yard. They worked efficiently, safely, and finished the job faster than I would have anticipated given the scope of the project. I cannot recommend Sunburst Tree Experts any more highly than I do. My experience with Dave and his crew was A+ across the board and the results were worth every penny. Don't waste your time searching for a tree service company - go straight to Sunburst Tree Experts and you will not be disappointed.

Sunburst was super professional and did a fantastic job. They checked all of the trees around my house, and were quite educated in letting me know which trees were a hazard to my home and which trees did not pose a threat. The foreman, Dave, was especially helpful and could not do enough to make sure I was satisfied with the great job that they did. They left the area cleaner than how they found it, and just did a super job! Safe, professional, friendly, and fair. I highly, highly recommend Sunburst. A+++++

Given the location of the tree and angle of the lien they removed two sections of the fence to ensure it wouldn't get damaged and performed the majority of the work from my neighbor's yard. The crew was punctual, professional, and obvious experts in their field. I and my neighbor were very pleased with the work they did. They left both yards immaculate. This was not the first service Sunburst performed at my house. In 2015 they pruned several large oak trees on my property and in 2013 pruned 12 large Leighland Cypresses, which was done beautifully. Over the years I've recommended Sunburst to family members and friends who have also hired them and were all equally as satisfied as I have been. Dave and his crew know what they're doing. These guys do it right - every time.
Description of Work: In June 2016 Sunburst removed a very large oak tree from my yard. The tree had a severe lien over the back fence into my neighbor's yard (grew that way).

a great job on both occasions, and would recommend him to anyone
Description of Work: I had called Dave the manager for my trees a couple of years ago, he came when I called on the same day, he quoted the job at a reasonable cost, scheduled the job, came on time, pruned , and cut down a dead tree for me without a problem and with caution to my camper only feet from the tree. I was concerned, but I could see as the work was being done, he was a professional and skilled. the tree came down without even coming close to my camper (being it hung over it, I was surprised and astonished how skillful he was missing it). With this I needed another very large bluespruce pine tree removed from the side of my other driveway, and another task for him, it hung over my house and my cars. I explained I would move the vehicles, but he told me it would not be necessary, to my surprise again, the tree was gone, not a scratch on my vehicle's, and not even a piece of saw dust anywhere, and the plants surrounding it wasn't even touched. what I am trying to say is, this guy has skills, , I will definitely use him again, I have to say the skill in which he takes trees down is amazing.. ...

I first came to angie's list and searched for tree services and Suntrust looks like a good one, although one review said he did not show up as they promised. But I did not pay much attention. The first time I contacted Dave, I guess one of their managers, he said he will come on Sun to have a look at my trees and give me a quote. He did not show up. Then some Friday afterwards he put a quote in my mailbox. His service costs ~$750. Fine. I then called him back and talked about what he will do and what else I want him to do. I removed some services and the total cost goes down to ~$450, which includes stand up several trees and remove their top. Dave agreed, I agreed, and it is supposed to happen on 4/16 morning. Okay. That saturday, nobody shows up, no phone call, no text message, no explanation, no nothing. I called him twice afterwards, Sun and someday that following week. Nobody answers the phone, nothing. Based on my experience and other customer's, I seriously feel that Suntrust has a issue about their credibility. My trees are dying and I am waiting them to pull them up! If they do not want to do the work, they could just let me know. If they missed something, by now they should realize and call me back. I do not think it is unintentional. Suntrust is not professional.
Description of Work: Dave is supposed to come and stand up my leaning trees. We agreed on the phone and he gave me a quote and I asked him itemizing what he will do. He is supposed to come last Sat but he did not show up at all. I called him twice, nobody answers to call me back. I was relying on him to stand up my trees but now my trees are dying. I will not use Suntrust for any of my tree services in the future.

We are quite sorry to hear that this was your interpretation of the situation. Unfortunately, there seems to have been several misunderstandings. While we made several attempts to schedule the estimate with you, you were not available. So at your request, and several long and detailed phone conversations, we did provide you with an estimate. However, due to the multiple miscommunications we were unable to reach an agreement, and at no time was work scheduled or completed.

On 10/20/14 Matt the owner came and gave us an estimate to remove 3 VERY large trees and to trim up 2 other trees. We hired him. His crew came on 10/21/14 they started with a 90ft white pine tree. Removed it down to the ground. Then the proceeded to remove 2 large maple trees in my pool area. They got most of one tree down, then it got late and it was going to rain. They came back the next day 10/22/14 and took down the rest of the trees in the pool area, nothing fell in the pool or broke anything in pool area. They then trimmed the cherry tree and a very large maple tree. The 4 man crew were very neet,clean and polite. They cleaned up everything left nothing laying on the ground. We are definitely calling Matt and his crew to come back and remove the large maple with in the next year. His prices were the best. We just ran out of funds or they would have been asked to remove the maple too. I will be telling friends and family about Sunburts Tree Experts.

Matt came over and spent about an hour talking with me and looking at my property - what an education! I learned so much about the trees in my yard from that short visit - total professionals! I was given an extremely fair estimate for removal from a double white oak. Five days after the estimate the tree was taken down and chopped into fireplace size pieces! Would use them again in a heartbeat!

I called them for an estimate in the morning and had a call back that day. An arborist was able to come by to give me an estimate the same day. He was very knowledgeable and gave me many suggestions. We agreed as to what needed to be done and they were able to fit me into their schedule the next day. The men worked very efficiently. They removed a large cherry tree and a smaller plum tree. They ground down two large stumps. I had numerous old arborvitae that were crowded out by many very large rose of sharon plants. The arborvitae were not getting enough sun so were in very bad shape. The arborist recommended taking out the arborvitae and topping the rose of sharon plants so they would grow fuller. There was a old three limb stump within my wood deck. They were able to cut it low enough that now I will be able to continue the deck in that space. The men cleaned up after their work and the place looks very neat. I would definitely hire them again. Great job guys!

These guys are the cream of the crop!!! From the very first phone call, nothing but professional. Carl, the owner, came within a day or 2 to give us the quote. Extremely knowledgeable about trees. The crew arrived on the date they stated. Certified arborist on site the entire time. He took the time to strategize the tree removal. Two of them were in a very tight spot and hanging over the house. There was NO damage anywhere....not even to the gardens surrounding the trees they took down! I have never seen such efficient and neat work. An incredibly professional and respectful team. Would definitely use them again and will surely recommend to toher.

Thank you so much for your review. We make every effort to provide professional services from beginning to end. Our crew is an amazing bunch. We may cost more than some but our rates are highly competitive with other arborists, most of whom do not guarantee an actual arborist on the job. We are glad you chose us and were happy with the work, and that you feel we earned every bit of what you paid.

A neighbor had recommended Sunburst Tree Service really highly. An estimate from another highly rated local tree service had given an estimate of $4,000 for the same job. Sunburst charged $2000.00 We're really glad we chose them to do the work. They deserve all those As.
Description of Work: The inspector for our homeowner's insurance policy insisted that we remove overhanging branches of 3 quite large trees in our backyard. This has been an exceptionally rainy May here and one of the trees' roots were starting to heave out of the sodden ground posing a risk of grave damage to our house if it should topple. Sunburst cut the severed branches into log lengths and cut the stumps really close to the ground. The wood was neatly stacked for future disposal.

Thank you so much for the work and for your positive review. Insurance company personnel most often don't spot tree hazards that an arborist is trained to spot. The initial trees you called about posed little threat in comparison to the one we discovered so it's a good thing you removed all three. If the other estimate you received was for the very same three trees and equal in every respect to our estimate, $4,000 does seem like a very high price but then it's tough to compare such things. For example, one arborist may look at a job and think it's going to take much longer than what another arborist thinks. We are happy that it all worked out for you!

Perhaps you have us confused with one of the other companies you called. Our phone message book shows that you called on Wednesday 5/15 and yet your report lists 5/13 as the date. You gave your address information during that call and mentioned that you were available over the weekend and all day today which is Monday 5/20. You stated no preference so a call was place to you this morning and then an estimate was given. It's rare that we receive a grade of less than "A" let alone an "F" so we checked our phone records first thing this morning. According to your report a grade of "F" was given for our price and yet your report also states no one called you. It's not possible to give a grade on price if no price was given at the time of your report. We believe this grade of "F" is based on and inaccurate recounting of facts and most unfair. Sunburst did not attain an "A" average and Angie's List Super Service awards by accident, we do our very best to respond to all phone calls in a timely manor.

I called a few places trying to set up an appointment for an arborist to come out and take a look at what I believed was a dying Japanese Maple tree, central to our front yard. Since it is high time for tree services, no one was able to give me an appointment within the week, and believing that time was of the essence, I needed somebody as quickly as I could find. In calling Sunburst Tree Experts, a man was put on the phone immediately to which he asked me to send him an e-mail with some pictures that showed the disease on my tree. Already having pictures prepared, I sent them over, and immediately he was able to offer me a confident diagnosis of my tree along with an extensive background of the disease. Sadly, he informed us that the tree would eventually need to be taken down as it could not be saved, but he offered suggestions for how to properly take care of a replacement tree and warned us of getting another Japanese Maple due to the soil being tainted with this Verticillium Wilt. Additionally, the man who just took over the business got onto the phone and agreed with the diagnosis, and I just so appreciated the time they both spent over the phone to go over the pictures with me. I would absolutely recommend them due to their honesty, expertise in the field, and, mostly, their care and concern.

He took down a bunch of trees and trimmed some hedges. It was good, so I will use them again. They were very reliable. The person is very knowledgeable about trees. He cares about trees and loves his business. He is not the cheapest and not the most expensive. He gives a fair price. They are coming again in two weeks to take down a bunch of oaks. After a hurricane, I don't want them falling on my neighbours house.

Was very happy with Sunburst and their professional staff. They are very efficient and knowledgeable about tree work and pruning. Gave us detailed free written estimate of the work a week before. The called beforehand to confirm the date of the job. On the day of the work, they arrived on time and did a great job - they also were very good about cleaning up when the job was done and did not leave any debris behind. The staff was very helpful and personable. Would definitely use their services again.
