Response from Sunburst Tree Experts Inc
The trees on this property were pruned beautifully by a crew that had three ISA Certified Arborists on it. The price for the work was more than fair and the quality of work was excellent. Only days later, the largest tree on the property sustained damage during Superstorm Sandy and an estimate was given to remove that damage. The client had just had her trees pruned (which was a major reason why damage was not more extensive) and she felt this work should not come at additional cost. The estimate for additional work was fair, just as the original was. We are sorry when a client is less than pleased but we quoted fair prices and did excellent work. This client thought the quote for additional work was unfair and then decided that none of the work was satisfactory. We disagree.

Description of Work: They cut down and pruned many trees on our property. When he came for the estimate, Matt was really good at explaining what he thought we should do and why. They did a great job and we were very happy with the results.

Description of Work: I wanted a certified arborist to come and evaluate the cost of my trees which were cut down without my permission by a neighbor. He was rude, came by charged me $430 just to look at them an there was no report. He even charged me travel expenses. I hired another large company afterward who looked at the trees and wrote the report up for $150 and was very professional and he was a certified arborist. Don't waste your time with this guy. He is a crook.

The job was well done and done neatly. I only have one complaint....the maple that was cut down was a 'town tree' that was planted by the developer back in 1969 when my house was new. Many of these maples have become sickly over the years due to the stress that is put on them regarding where they were planted, road salt, etc. I hated to see the tree go but when a very large healthy - appearing branch fell missing a parked car by inches I knew that it was time for the tree to come down. I never thought to call the town....that was just dopey on my part. So, I called Sunburst. Matt came over to give me an estimate which was $750 w/o the stump being ground down. The job was done. After the tree came down my neighbor came to tell me that that was a town tree and that they would've taken it down for FREE! The complaint that I have is that Matt should have told me that this is a town tree and that I should call the town to have it assessed. Maybe the town wouldn't have taken it down because it was still leafy...but at least I wouldn't have had to pay to have it removed. I know businesses are out to make a profit, of course they are, but I think that something should have been said. I also think that the stump should have been ground down along with the tree being taken down. Maybe I should have pushed for that to be included. Anyway, I spoke with the owner who told me that the tree was a danger as it was losing limbs and could've caused some damage, which is true....but STILL it would've been NICE to let me know that this was a town tree....he said that it sometimes takes the town a while to come out and assess trees and that this tree was a clear danger....but I could've parked the car elsewhere while waiting for the town..... .....
Description of Work: Large maple cut down, wood left, branches chipped and removed.

I have used them for the last seven years and they are great. I have a backyard full of hemlock trees, so I am not generally comfortable giving the price. They are environmentally friendly. I would use them again in the future.

Thank you. Your Hemlocks have responded nicely and we are glad you decided to keep them. Results can take an investment of time and money but losing those trees would have presented a different set of problems. Your business and your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your feedback. It seems you were very happy with the work and yet gave us a B rating for quality. This indicates you were less than satisfied but at no point did you inform us of that. Given the opportunity we always seek to ensure that our clients are happy with our work but we can't address concerns when they are not brought to our attention.

Thank you for you report. Our rates are competitive with other legitimate companies. It's possible that the higher price quoted is a product of travel distance. Time is money as they say. I would stack the credentials of our crew up against anyone in the business and our clients are often very pleasantly surprised to see just how good they are. Thank you for your consideration though and we do appreciate the feedback.

Overall, from start to finish they did an excellent job. The only complaint I have is that I noticed part of the stump that was grinded is still there. I have not contacted them regarding this. I will have to chop it with a hatchet or chainsaw since it would break my lawn mower. I work a lot and did not notice this until a few days ago.
Description of Work: They crowned and elevated 9 trees in front of my yard. One large tree was removed from the front yard. The remaining stump was completely ground down and all the wood chips were removed. A large Oak tree in my backyard was also crowned and elevated. And the same was done with 6 trees on an adjacent lot that were growing over my house and property. Until my purchase last year, this house was vacant for over two decades, so they had a lot of work to do. They were punctual, polite and knowledgeable. They cleaned up as they worked. Very neat! The owner also called me to ask if I was happy with the work and to thank me for doing business with him. A couple of my neighbors were so impressed with the quality of their work that spoke to them about doing work on their properties. I am very pleased with their service and highly recommend them.

The guy from Sunburst Tree Experts Inc. who came to give me the estimate was very good and professional. He was very expensive and was out of my budget. He said the reason he is a little more expensive is because he gives good service and I believe him. I liked that he was punctual and knowledgeable. He was very responsive. He came within the window of time that he said he would. He called back right away within 24 hours of my original phone call. I would probably use his service in the future.

Thank you for your feedback, we greatly appreciate it. Our prices are competitive with other legitimate companies. We are properly insured (both liability and workman's comp), licensed by Consumer Affairs, and our employees are all (an always have been) legal. The proliferation of companies operating under the radar have caused us to quote prices that, in many cases, are lower than those we quoted 5 years ago as expenses continue to rise. Our value however, continues to improve.

A very professional large team of men arrived. Given instructions, the team foreman set his crew to work. They were very safety conscious, and took away all the debris, even raking the lawn carefully before leaving. At one point I made a suggestion that a couple of lower branches be removed, and they cheerfully complied. I have used this company before and will no doubt use them again.
Description of Work: We have 5 locust trees which grow fast and have become top-heavy. They are prone to falling in strong winds. Sunburst sent a professional who recommended artfully cutting the tops off but leaving some graceful branches in such a way as to make the result look very natural.

After looking at reports of prices, I had guessed the aolanthus bid should be in the neighborhood of $500 to $750 -- it was a bit above the upper end of that range, but I went ahead without getting a second bid. Four or five workman were here for about two and a half hours -- took care of everything very neatly and professionally. No complaints. Also no complaints about responsiveness/timeliness -- my phone call was picked up on first try, guy showed up to give me the bid exactly when he said he would, and workers showed up to do the work exactly when they said they would.
Description of Work: Took down dead, and very tall aolanthus (sp?) and two dead stems on a huge wild cherry -- the stems were thick, but only perhaps 15 or 20 feet tall (the upper braches had fallen years ago, doing some damage to our roof at the time). The aolanthus was not very thick, but stuck up above all the other trees in the yard (we're in a wooded area with big oaks and maples). The charge was $800 for the aolanthus, and $175 for the cherry. (Both trees probably killed by chemicals put down toilet when it got plugged up -- two different times -- we're on a septic system here.) I don't know if it's true, but my father said my uncle said that the aolanthus trees have a lot of silicon in the wood which makes them difficult to cut.

They were a little expensive. They gave us the quote within a couple of days of me calling them. The guy was really nice but it was just a little more expensive than my budget. I don't want to endorse the guy because he didn't actually do the work. He could have been on time and professionalism could have been good and he might not have done good work, we don't know that. He might have been great also at the same time; I don't want to say he might have been bad only. He might have been bad, he might have been great or he might have been average. So, I don't want to endorse him without having actually used him; just because I got an estimate from him, it isn't an endorsement for the quality of his work.

Crew arrived on time. and Carl was there to review the plan with them. The entire group worked quickly and professionally the entire time they were there. there were literally no traces they were on the property save for the pieces I intended to utilize for firewood. Cuts were done according to accepted practice, and with care. The result was that we now have a healthier stand of trees and will receive more light on the property, a major goal. We were quite happy with the work performed and would recommend this company to anyone.
Description of Work: Carl came to the house and did a walk-through with me As a certified golf course superintendent I knew that he was quite literate and logical in his suggestions and estimates for the work to be performed. Crew was to complete crown thinning and dead limb removal on 12 trees. They were to chip and remove small limbs that we could not use for firewood.

Matt was extremely accommodating. He was at my home at 7:45 a.m. for the estimate as requested. He walked the grounds with me explaining important aspects of trim trimming and care. He was very knowledgeable. He is licensed and insured. His company has memberships in many arbor-cultural societies and associations. His crew (6 guys) arrived at my house on time with large equipment. The trees were removed and the wood stacked. He put the chips exactly were I wanted them. I did not have to pay him a dime until satisfied with the work. On his invoice he also suggested what other arboreal work could be done - work that I know should be done so he wasn't just drumming up more business. I would highly recommend Sunburst.

Working with this company was an excellent experience. My inquiry called was returned within 24 hours. Within 24 hours of that, Carl was on site to determine the work that needed to be done to keep the tree healthy. He pointed out trouble areas of the tree and explained what would be done. He provided a quote and described what would happen when the crew arrived. He shared his credentials and showed proof of insurance. The crew arrived as scheduled and performed the work professionally. They cleaned up as they worked and left everything in excellent order. I appreciate that the crew also treated each other professionally as I've had experience with other service crews not doing so.
