Really Well! Nathan made himself available for a quote almost immediately. They came out the following week and removed the trees. Job went perfectly and they left the area immaculate. There was quite a lot to do, but they did it quickly and carefully. Very courteous and professional. Would recommend them without reservation.

He came out three times: once to bid the job, once to take the tree down, and once to grind the stump. He also did some trimming on the trees overhanging our RV driveway. Very quick and efficient each time. He was very professional and courteous.

Mr. Herford came a couple of weeks ago to survey the scale of details of the job. He and his crew were here, on time, today to proceed. They completed the job on time and on task and, as always, left no sign of their work except an exceptionally well-completed job. We will, of course, have them back next year. BTW, they do excellent storm-damage-recovery work, too, as we know from some experience!
Description of Work: Note: We have been using Herford's for many, many, years now. The work is always well done, the price is reasonable, though not inexpensive, and the crew always cleans up very well before the job is done. This time Herford's trimmed several trees to improve our view, fell two diseased trees and cleaned up the debris, and trimmed about 500 fee of arborvitae hedge on both sides and the top, removing and disposing of the debris.

Nathan Herford (the owner and very nice guy) was on a scheduled vacation with his family but he did come out earlier on to give me the bid. The crew showed up on time, they were polite, professional and thorough. The pine was about 31/2 feet in diameter. The maple roots were entirely entangled with my water meter box and water line and both were starting to lift the sidewalk. They took extra time and care in removing the roots and resetting the box. We couldn't be more pleased with their hard work and great customer service. We would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Removed one very large pine tree and one large maple, ground the stumps in addition to several other stumps in the front and back yards,also removed a smaller plum tree that was growing through a cyclone fence into the neighbors yard.

It went like it always does with Herford's. They showed up on time, were careful not to damage the plantings in the landscape, sectioned up the uprooted tree and dropped the pieces well clear of our landscape. All in all, we were very pleased, as we always are with Herford's Quality Tree. We have had years and years of experience with Herford's Quality Tree. We trust them so much that we don't even ask for estimates any more and are very comfortable having them do their work while we are gone...even when we are out of town on vacation. We recommend them most highly!
Description of Work: We had a fairly good sized tree that was uprooted by that last ice storm. It fell against a smaller tree just up-wind of our home. The smaller tree held, but we were afraid that the combination might come down in the next storm and damage our home. Herford's removed the uprooted tree without damage to the landscaping below and relieved the pressure on the smaller tree.

They did a good job. They worked on 10 or 12 trees. They took most of them out and they trimmed 4 of them. Some of them were big. Later on, we even got certificate from them thanking us for the business. We spent about $600. They did a pretty good job. They cleaned up the mess from the trees they took out. We were happy with their work. They did everything they said they would do even though they had to do some of it by hand. They had some trouble with their machinery at that time. They had to do some work by hand. Shortly after that they let me know that all their machinery was working and they were ready to do more business. I compared to price with some of the other people that I called. It was comparable and they gave me a discount. It was a good price. Everything has turned out real good. I was pleased with it. All of the trees look a lot healthier and they have got the apples. They did a good job. It took them a longer time to finish the work because of the problems they had. The guy who came to speak to me was very nice. He went through everything with me about what they were going to do. They were professional. I will use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used Herford's Quality Tree Care about 2 years ago. They trimmed some apple trees for me and took some out. They also did some clearing.

Herford's was profession, fast, courteous and left the place looking better then when they came. Plus their price was very competitive. I can't say enough about these guys. Since we have a acre with many tress, we'll call them again.
Description of Work: Herford's cut down 4 large fir trees (perhaps 60' each, all close to the house), a large pine and a small cherry in 1 day. The chipped all of the branches and left the place spotless. They left us the chips, which we use in our garden (we have an acre). They cut the wood into 16" log - although did not split them, which was as we had agreed upon (I plan to rent a log splitter). They also stump ground all of the stumps.

Wonderful. see above
Description of Work: Nathan came by, gave an estimate to remove a 140+ foot cedar tree that grew between our house an detached garage. About a week later he had a cancelation and called to see if he could do it that afternoon. I am a stay at home mom with a pretty flexable schedule so that was perfect for me. He came out and cut all the branches off, dropping them precisely and not on my landscaping down below. His worker carried them up and the hill to the driveway and chipped them up.Once he got to the top he cut the top 25 feet of the tree and landed it again in the perfect location, not on the house, not on the garage, not on the hot tub, not on the plants but in a great empty space. Then he climbeb back down cutting the tree into 18 inch sections to be left as firewood by us. We had him just leave them where they lay as a price break, since we can wheelbarrow log rounds ourselves. He cut the stump down really low with a crazy 44" saw. All in a few hours. They hauled away the chips to my friends yard a few miles down the road for her to use in her lanscaping. Great experience. I have used them for 2 previous tree projects in my quest to get sunshine onto our house and yard. They have all been wonderful experiences and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. He is also really great with humoring my 6 year old chatterbox of a son, and that always earns points in my book.

Nathan and his assistant were very friendly, punctual, and professional. I felt like he knew what he was doing and had no worries about him dropping a tree on my home.
Description of Work: Nathan came and gave us a free estimate and about a year later (I am a procrastinator) I finally called him back to do the job. He removed three extremely tall cedar trees that were looming over my home and dropped them exactly where he said he was going to avoiding a propane tank and my garden. He cut the trunk into firewood size pieces and chipped up all the limbs. He would have taken away the wood chips but I asked him to dump them in my driveway so I could use it as landscaping mulch.

We became aware of Nathan's service through very high recommendations from others. Nathan was punctual and very personable. We were also having a new fence installed and Nathan was kind enough to adjust his schedule to accommodate us so that the tree service would not interfere with the fencing schedule.
Description of Work: Nathan removed three cherry trees, a plum tree and a dogwood. He cut into firewood lengths and ground the stumps. He also pruned several trees. He removed all existing brush.
