Red Cedar Landscapes, Inc.

I was extremely happy and impressed with the service, the workers, and the process. It was never a burden to have them working in the yard; they were courteous, professional, creative, and they did what they could to meet my needs at all times. I immediately referred them to my next door neighbor and they had an equally positive experience. I will continue to use Red Cedar for all of my outdoor projects.

Red Cedar is very professional, very reliable and easy to work with. They re-graded my backyard, built stone walls and were able to solve some grading/slope challenges other landscape architects could not. I only rated price a B because they are not the lowest nor the highest cost provider. They are appropriately costed for the quality. Highly recommend.

It went smoothly. Red Cedar followed up when it was time to, or if something on the property wasn't working. I felt well cared for.

They took them down very professionally and didn't scratch a thing.I found them to be a very good company. They were courteous and did a good clean up. Very professional. They were cheaper than anybody I received prices from.

Things went pretty well...
I used Red Cedar once before for very similar service and was pleased, so I called them again for this job.
Things went pretty well this time too. Michael Barker came to do the quote, he looked over the job a bit quickly, and we didn't discuss a couple of things as completely as I would have liked.  Michael didn't ask what I wanted to do with the wood from the trees that were cut and I didn't think to bring this up either. I think I would have preferred to keep some of the wood for firewood, but the subject never came up, and the wood ended up being taken away (I was not at home at the time the work was done). I also mentioned to Michael that I might want to do some additional work later on a retaining wall and landscaping, but he didn't seem very interested in discussing this.  I've since hired another contractor to do some of that work.
The actual work was done pretty well.  The tree removal, stump grinding and trimming were well done, my one criticism being that the crew dragged some large pieces of the cut trees across my lawn tearing out some of the turf. They could have been a bit more careful with this.
They called me in advance when the stump grinder was to come (done on a separate day from the tree cutting), but I didn't get a call before the tree work was done, but that might have been my fault, I remember my answering machine filled up sometime around then and they might have tried and failed to leave a message.  The stump grinder left large piles of chips, I called to ask about this and they sent someone out the next day to remove them (I'm not sure if they were planning to do that already, it required separate equipment from the stump grinding).
Overall, the removal of 2 dead trees, trimming another tree, and chipping a pile of brush and grinding out 2 stumps went well.

The Red Cedar team was fantastic!  I highly recommend them to others.  They were professional, quick and meticulous cleaning up after the job was completed.  They exceeded my expectations.  Their price was also 1/3 less than a competitor quoted me for the same work.  I will definitely use them again in the future.

The new treatment for our trees will start shortly but the last time we used Red Cedar - a year or two ago - they took out an enormous oak tree that was right next to the house.  I always get quotes from a few places when I have to remove trees and, as usual, Red Cedar was either the lowest or right in the ballpark.  Since there was no urgency, an appt was set up a couple of weeks later.  In the past, when a tree needed to be removed immediately (like the time a big tree had fallen across our driveway) they were there the next day to take care of it.  The actual removal of our oak was professionally done (amazing to watch, actually) and the crew was careful not to allow their heavy equipment to make marks on our lawn.  Afterwards, they effectively cleaned up the area where they'd worked and took the tree with them.  I had to the option to keep the tree but I had no use for it.  Red Cedar is insured and easy to deal with. 

I was taught that if I had little or nothing good to say about someone , say nothing at all.

Time was a factor as the house is being prepared for sale. Red Cedar was able to get us on the schedule within a few days of the initial site visit. The site visit was the same day as my first phone call. John and Pete did excellent, professional work. They protected an active bird's nest and pruned around the nest.

They were on time, prompt and courteous.

They did everything that they said they would, they cleaned up and were on schedule. Everything was great.

Not that well. The wall was supposed to be completely taken apart and rebuilt correctly. It was not completely taken down and was rebuilt from the existing base. More stone was to be supplied by Red Cedar to complete the job but they didn't bring any. After they thoght the job was done I had to call then back and tell them the job was not acceptable. The top was very uneven because it neede more stone. Then they brought stone of a different color and laid it on topof what they had already done rather than working it into the wall as the rebuilt it. The wall is better than it was originally but the quality of the job was disappointing for the price. I would not hire them to do another stone wall.

very good

Excellent. Quality quote and information about how the service would be performed. Timely, efficient and effective performance. Care taken to limit impact on house and surroundings. Excellent clean up.

I used Red Cedar Arborist and Landscapers. They were good. I will use them again in the future.

It went well. I would definitely recommend them.

It was a total rip off I could have gotten a neighbors kid to botch up the work they way they did. I was very proud of out trees who know's what we'll have next summer.

It went very smoothly. The crew of three arrived, introduced themselves, and proceeded to do the job. Each person worked on a different aspect of the overall job.

This is the second time that I used Red Cedar. I had a large, dead tree in the back of my yard. It was a safety issue because big limbs were falling off of it. Some were hanging over into my neighbors yard. I called Brent, who was the salesman that I worked with the first time that I used them. He came out right away, and gave me a good price. He set up the appointment to have the work done on the day that worked for me. The workers came out on time. They were very professional. The took extreme care to not damage our lawn. They worked hard and did all the work that we agreed on. They blew all the wood chips back onto the area like I requested. They cleaned everything up spotless. I was very impressed with how much care they took to not damage the lawn. Brent is a pleasure to work with, and I will used them again in the future. I highly recommend Red Cedar!!

After I called about the magnolia tree, Brent stopped by to review the damage and write up a very nice estimate of the work that needed to be done. This included shortening the weight of the entire tree to improve its stability. He made additional suggestions about other trees on the property. Red Cedar is concerned with keeping trees healthy not just running a power saw over everything! I put down 50% down and within a week he called to say they were on the way. Everything was cleaned up nicely. I would certainly use Red Cedar again.

We had a couple of trees that we wanted to have taken down, along with a large pile of brush that was left in the corner of our property. It was a real eyesore. We called Red Cedar because of good ratings here on Angies List. We wanted the trees taken down within a couple of days because we were having a party in the back yard. The salesman Brent, moved some things around and made it happen. In a couple of days, two workers showed up and worked hard all day to get the job done. The took down the trees, cut them and stacked them for firewood, and cleaned up the large pile of brush. They cleaned everything up before they left. A couple of weeks later, Red Cedar came back out and ground the stumps. All in all, they did a fantactic job, and I would highly recommend them.

Not only did they cut them down without damaging anything on my property but they cut down the trees and wood chipped them on site. They were very clean and professional. They were a wonderful company. They also took all of their debris with them.
