Dring Family Tree Service

They did an excellent job and cleaned up afterward.

No problems other than communication of arrival time. I was told the day before the crew would arrive in the morning. I had to call the office when they didn't arrive and was told their schedule changed and they'd arrive in the afternoon.

Smooth as silk. They had it all cut & removed in 5 hours. They also raked up all branched and used a leaf blower to get the area extra clean.

I was very impressed with Brent's willingness to spend time with me at the nursery picking out trees that would work for us. His crew was very professional; the old trees were cut down and the new ones installed promptly and with a minimum of damage to our lawn. I will be calling Dring again if we decide to plant additional trees in the future.

Called and a woman answered. She said she would schedule someone to come out to give an estimate on the removal of the tree and have them make a recommendation on what type of new tree to plant and the price. The estimate was to be emailed to me. No one ever came out for an estimate, I left two voicemails on different days during business hours and I sent a message to the company via Angie's List (no reply was received). It's not that hard to 1) do what you say you will do and 2) to respond to customers calls/emails. Do not waste your time contacting this company. I called three other companies for estimates and all came out that day or the next day with estimates in hand.

First time we had these 35 year old trees trimmed. The Dring crew of 3 worked steadily for 3 hours removing dead branches, shaping and thinning the trees. They removed quite a few branches but the trees looked very even when they were done. They did a very thorough cleanup. This company was recommended to us because they climb without spikes.

Great job for the price. Cleaned up so well that you would not know that he had been there when finished. The trees filled out beautifully and are very healthy.

The guys were great. Showed up with crane and bucket truck and got right to work. It took about 4 hours and they had both my trees down and cleaned up. These were huge oak trees. About 130 foot tall each. They put plywood down where the truck was, and cleaned everything up when they were done. I immediately knew that these guys knew what they were doing. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future, and would recommend them to anyone. Their price is right and they perform a top notch service. Look no further, Dring is the only tree company to use.

After they ground the tree they raked up every single branch, I was really impressed with how cleanly they were. I would have them out again if I need to.

Came out first to assess, then emailed me a quote the next day. Did have a little hard time trying to contact them by phone the 2nd time, to agree with their offer. But then sent Angie's List email & then we had no problem communicating. All went according to plan! Arrived promptly on day they said they would. Everything was very neat and clean. I would definitely recommend Dring!!

Over the years this company has done about $8000 of tree work for me. They were always very nice and did good work. However, I will not do any further business with them. I had a large oak tree fall on my property, so I hired them to remove it. I asked them to leave one large section of the tree in-tact, because I planned to have it cut into a slab. I thought it would be nice to use wood from my property to build a bar with. Their arborist/crew leader (Brent Dring) said they could cut the slab for me so I didn't need to hire a separate company. They did the tree removal work, and took a large section to cut the slab with. I paid for the work, and Brent said they would return with the wood after a few months (once their busy season came to a close). I waited for many months, and then tried to follow up by phone and email. Occasionally I would get a message from Brent saying that he was going to bring the wood back, but it's been two years now and nothing has happened. I decided to accept the loss and just post this feedback.

I contacted the company by phone 4/16. I received a professionally-done quote by e-mail the next day. I decided to go with another company.

Contacted company to request an estimate. They were responsive to my message and contacted me for details (address, tree type, etc.) and told me someone would be out in the next day or two and they would then e-mail and call with an estimate. Over a week later, nothing. So, I called back and spoke to them again. They advised me due to the storm over the weekend (didn't recall a storm, but gave them the benefit of the doubt) they were very busy and unable to visit the property. They then said someone was in the area on the day I was talking to them, and they would have them visit the property that day and would call me back that afternoon. They verified my address and all my contact info, all was correct. Now, over a week later AGAIN and still nothing. If the job is too small or you're not interested or there's been more delays, tell me that, don't just ignore & not respond to your customers! T

I chose Dring Family Tree Service because of their great reviews on Angie's list and because I wanted a company with an arborist to do the pruning, particularly for our magnolia tree which is at the front corner of our house. It is a big part of our house's curb appeal and is close to the house, so I didn't want to call just any company to do it. I thought Dring Family tree was the right choice. My husband called and they were very friendly and responsive on the phone, and said they would come to the house on Friday August 22nd or Monday August 25th to give us an estimate, and that they would leave the estimate in the mailbox. I was home those days and they never showed up. So my husband called again and left a voice mail explaining that no one showed up and to see when they could come out. They never called back and never showed up any other time. Very disappointing - certainly not the "A" company that so many others seem to have dealt with.

I had asked for the tree to be taken down but left. I would do the clean up. These guys took down the tree, blew all the clippings into a pile and left minimal mess. I would highly recommend them.

These guys are pro's! There was a four man crew who showed up with a crane, bucket truck, and chipper right at 9am as discussed. They protected the lawn using plywood to get the chipper and dump truck near the felled trees. Since the trees were all in my backyard there was no way to get equipment back there. As a result the Dring team had to climb three of the trees, top them, then lower down each cut section by hand using ropes, it was like watching acrobats! Altogether they fell four very large Red Oaks, these Oaks ranged from 60'-90' and one with diameter of 40" was very near the rear of my house and deck. The fourth tree they were able to crane over the house. They performed a thorough clean up and left the yard cleaner than when they arrived. They also bucked the tree rounds to 18" for me as requested. The entire job was (aside from the stump grinding) was complete by 4pm. Brent Dring came back out within a week to grind the four large stumps as well as 24 other small stumps in an area of the woods that i had previously cleared. Overall this crew did an excellent job, they were on time, professional, were a pleasure to talk to and very knowledgeable with their trade. I highly recommend Dring Family Tree!

Drings cut down 3 trees and trimmed 2. They were punctual, thorough, and flexible. I would use them again and recommend them.

They saved a 25 foot pine on our property that several other companies said could not be saved. Very pleased with their work

Our experience was not good. Left message with name, address, phone number and nature of job. After 8 business days, no response. Phoned again, left detailed message. Still no response after 7 business days. We are moving on ....

This crew of 4 were so incredibly coordinated that it was almost like watching a ballet. Each person seemed to know exactly where the branches would come down and what to do next in the most efficient way possible. They cleaned up the yard and hauled away all debris. This crew and company were very professional and I would highly recommend them.

Dring cut down a large maple, growing too near the house, and trimmed a second maple to remove about a third of it. The remaining tree looks much better, and now has more room to grow upward. The work was done when promised. We were kept informed of when work would be done. Very satisfied.

Dring Family Tree Service removed two dying trees for me and trimmed three others. Brent was very helpful during the estimating process and gave great advice on another tree which we had. Crew arrived promptly when scheduled and were very quick to remove the trees in a way that did not damage ours or our neighbor's property. Trees that were trimmed look great and very natural. The crew was very polite and cleaned up very well. I would recommend them and use them in the future.

Brent Dring gave us the lowest estimate out of three tree services that all had A ratings on Angie's List. The Dring workers I spoke with were all very personable and did exactly what we asked them to do. Our yard has quite a few mature trees, so I am sure we will be calling them again in the future. Thank you for standing by your work and your word.

They were wonderful. They came out the same day that I called for an estimate and it was finished within the week. The owner and the rest of his staff were absolutely wonderful and even the office staff was very helpful. They had forgotten to do a couple of the surface root, they came back within a few days and got that taken cared of. They were really prompt, very friendly and professional. We would definitely recommend them to someone else.

We had a large tree fall on the back of our house unrelated to storms. I phoned Dring's and they came out right away and assessed the priority of the situation. We scheduled the removal of one tree and several branches off another tree. While they were here, they noticed a large dead tree in my front yard which we scheduled to remove at the same time as the other tree work. They removed the two trees and all the wood. (I had the option to keep the wood if I preferred.) They came back within the week to grind the stump and trim an additional branch. They are very professional and did an outstanding job. This was the second time I used Dring. The first time was several years ago and they did an equally professional job.
