Sperry Tree Care Co

We were very impressed by the expert job they did. They left the area around the trees cleaner than they found it. Workers were quick too. We will definitely call for their services again!

I have always had good service from Sperry Tree Care in the past and knew they charged more than everyone else but it had been worth it. This time was TERRIBLE. The bid seemed high but he said it would probably take 4 guys 4-5 hours. I thought it was odd because it was much less work than last time but more money. I was never offered time and materials. They were supposed to call first which makes all the difference in the world. Instead I am not dressed, I am on the phone and see them in the front yard, Ughhhh. Terrible way to start any job. They have always protected my house with plywood. They did not. They did not protect the deck (I asked if they could put a tarp over the top rail and they did not) and some large branches hit it. I asked them to please not touch my personal belongings without asking but they borrowed my umbrella stand and some stepping stones to prop open things without asking. No you cannot use my personal items for your job without asking it is not okay. They left a lot of debris in the vinca, they raked the grass but did not pick up any branches or stumps out of anywhere else. They did not prune the tree in front like I asked and I don't even think they did it right. AND the job took 3 guys less than 4 hours. It would have been 3-3.5 hours if they had called first AND did not have to wait 20+ minutes for a different truck because they one they had someone else needed. So, the guys said they would ask their office it I could pay time and materials only (a $500-$750 savings). Instead they took $194 off the bill and told me I should be grateful for that. Sorry I am not grateful when I get ripped off and you disrespect my time and my belongings and don't prune the tree how we discussed and leave the yard a mess. Now that I am thinking about it, last year I hired them to take 4 branches off one tree and only those 4 were approved by the city to be removed. They laser pointed and confirmed which 4 branched before starting the job. They did not mark them in any way. When they were done they said they took off 5 by accident. I thought they were joking, but they were not. They said it is hard to tell once you are up in the tree. The entire tree looks lopsided now and the city will not allow me to make it even. If you can't tell which 4 branches you are hired to remove, why don't you mark them in some way with paint or a ribbon or something. It is ridiculous and sad that you messed up that easy job.

The project went really well! I had never had this done before. There was some winter damage to correct plus other corrections to keep my beautiful trees healthy. The gentlemen made sure to ask me where I wanted pruning, and gave me good advice when I asked their opinions. I felt like they really knew what they were doing and understood the care of trees. They were very efficient, each one going to a different part of the job, so that all of them finished the job together and quickly. All were polite and friendly. They cleaned up all the debris, too. I really enjoyed the project visit and learned a lot, too!

Six large volunteer ash trees in my fenced backyard were and blocking the afternoon summer sun from my garden. I called Sperry and an estimator came out right away. The estimate seemed low to me considering the trees were right along a wooden fence, there were neighbors on all sides, and the debris would need to be hauled out by hand. A crew of three arrived on time to do the work and had the job done in just a few hours. There was no damage to nearby fruit trees, the fence or neighboring properties. My property was left clear of all debris. Highly recommended.

I have no complaints whatsoever. Everything you hear positive about this company is true. The early estimate was detailed and comprehensive and the actual work done professionally and true to the estimate. Every person involved (including the office staff) was respectful and did their jobs with a high degree of professionalism. I would use this company again and recommend them to anyone. These are good people.

These guys know their trees! They worked well as a team. The guy climbing way up there was both fearless and careful. They listened and answered our questions.

Great job. Nathaniel is an artist. The crew is friendly, efficient and capable.

Nathaniel arrived only a few hours after we had called, despite road conditions that kept almost everyone off the road. His crew called to let me know they were on the way the next morning, introduced themselves then set immediately to work removing the limb (avoiding a large, broken skylight) within an hour. Responsive, cheerful, professional and friendly. We have used Sperry Tree for a number of years and have nothing but the highest praise for their understanding of trees, willingness to explain and answer any concerns, responsiveness and safe, efficient, entirely professional work. Their quick response and clean work enabled us to cover the skylight before the next wave of weather arrived, Thank you again, Nathaniel for you and your team.

Outstanding. They took the time to check with me on each cut we had agreed on, and when I asked for advice, they gave it. They couldn't have been more accommodating. The results were equally excellent, and they were worth the money to have this done so well.

First job entailed pruning/trimming 6 trees. After the first try, some of the trees didn't look right. The arborist came out and reviewed the work. He agreed that the guys hadn't finished the job, so he re-trimmed 3 of the trees. Had we been out of town as expected, we would have come back in March to 3 very poorly trimmed trees. $1185. Second job involved falling two large trees and pruning a third "per client direction." The crew took down the trees with no issues, but they cut off 6 large limbs on the third WITH NO COMMUNICATION with us. Had we been able to "give direction" as stated in the work order we would not have removed the limbs. The removal of those large, graceful limbs destroyed the look of our yard for many years to come. They did take $140 off the $2000 bill. In sum - our experience: the crews don't do a complete job and they don't read the work orders which describe the work to be done.

Sperry had the lowest bid of all the estimates and were curious an professional. They cut three large fir trees down very close to buildings. One tree was leaning directly toward an existing building. It was very wet and muddy. They even spread grass seed for the areas effected by their activity.

Sperry Tree Care could change its name to Superb Tree Care and Splendid Customer Care My wife and I are so happy we hired Sperry Tree Care to prune our three Maple trees and three ornamental Cherry trees. Their crew arrived right at the time promised. We did a walkthrough, explaining how we wanted to recover our blocked view, but not damage the trees, or end up with what looked like ugly, humungous shrubs. They assured us they would never do anything like that. Over the next hour, the four-man crew judiciously sawed, clipped, and trimmed. It was much like watching master barbers at work. All the pruned branches were ground up in their chipper truck, the curb strip was raked clean, the street and gutter were blown and swept clean. And all the garden art and metal sculptures they had moved out of the way were put back right where they came from. They accomplished everything in just over an hour. You couldn’t tell a work crew had even been here - except we once again have a wide-open view of the valley, and our six trees look naturally beautiful. Excellent work. Outstanding service. Thank you so much to the wonderful people at Sperry Tree Care.

Very well. Every member of the team was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions and provided planting and maintenance tips and sources for additional information. Their work was very thorough, and they did an excellent job of cleaning up the site when the work was done. We would not hesitate to use Sperry Tree Care again and would highly recommend them to friends and neighbors.

Went well, did a good job. Would hire again.

Sperry offered a reasonable bid for the work . Arrived on time for the bid and later when they did the work. Everyone at Sperry with whom I dealt was very competent and they did all aspects of the work in a very professional and efficient manner. I felt their price was very reasonable for the work involved. I did not shop around much. They were highly recommended to me.

What an experience. After visiting two other contractors who offered little more than to chop down the beloved family cherry tree in the back yard, Sperry recommended a careful pruning -- then, when I asked if I could be involved/learn from the process -- offered a very reasonable consulting fee to work with an experienced pruner. What an opportunity! It was like taking a lesson from a Zen master and having my tree pruned in the process. Not only did the tree not "have to go," but I left with a much greater appreciation and understanding of my family's favorite tree -- and I have not driven down a tree-lined street in this town with the same eyes since.

Excellent. Did the job, polite, friendly, removed tree debris. Sorry I didn't get the price but I'm sure it will be fair price. These folks paid a lot of attention to safety and how and where the tree limb would fall since the tree is right next to the house.

Sperry did a great job assessing the health of our trees. They were not able to handle the eventual removal of these 100 year old trees, which requires big equipment. I would hire Sperry for smaller tree jobs in the future.

Excellent work; quick, efficient, friendly, professional. The initial free consultation was also very well done and informative. Thanks folks!

The crew did an excellent job. They were courteous and friendly. Their clean-up job was beyond thorough. The arborist who came out to bid the job was very professional and friendly. He pointed out another diseased fir tree that will have to come down some day so that we could budget for it.

they showed up on time and did great work I will hire them again

They were quick, professional, helpful. Cleaned up up afterwards. The place looked great

They did it over a couple of days. They do a nice job. They did the job we needed them to do. They did it quickly and efficiently and they cleaned up after themselves. There was nothing to whine about.

The crew arrived 15 minutes early and got right to work. They trimmed a huge pile of limbs and branches from one tree, and quite a bit from the second, but when they were done, you would never have known the trees were cut back, they looked so graceful and natural, Sperry's has the latest and best equipment, like the laser saw they used to free girdled roots. When they were through they left the sites scrupulously clean and neat, If I could give Sperry's 10 stars, I would. The young men on the crew were very vocal about being proud to work for the best tree company in town, and they were hardworking employees indeed. Thank you Sperry's!

They arrived on time, spoke with us about what we expected, and got right to work. Everything was cleaned up before they left. It was a two man crew - they took their time, checking to see how the shape of the tree was coming along numerous times before proceeding. I felt that the price was very reasonable. During the bid process Chris, the estimator, took the time to look at one of our other tress and gave me advice as to what we could do about a split limb, as well. Definitely would recommend them and use them again.
