It went great!!! The day before the work was done, Dustin came by to check out the project and give me an estimate. The first thing I was impressed with is that he called me when he was about a half hour away and said he was on his way. That gave me time to be prepared. When he got here, right away he could tell the Japanese Maple had a fungus problem. He gave me quote for the work to be done on both trees and we set it up for the next day. The next day - same thing! I got a call from him and his brother Rusty telling me they would be here within the hour. (Who does that anymore....give a courtesy call?!?!) I was so impressed. They got here and Rusty went right to work and pruned and shaped up the Japanese Maple that I hardly recognized it was the same tree!! It was a beautifully done job!! He then sprayed the tree trunks for the fungus issue. In the meantime, Dustin was getting prepped to get up into the large birch. They do not use a bucket truck, but rather a harness and ropes. He was up there (I could hardly see him behind all the branches) and then branches started coming down. Before he came down he got my attention on the ground to see if there was anything else I could see that needed pruning out. I gave him the 100% beautiful job signal and he came down then. They got everything chipped up, raked up, cleaned up with barely a single flower broke over down around the base of the trees. The price was incredibly reasonable and I would recommend Tillis Tree Care for anyone who needs pruning and tree work taken care of. The price listed here is "after" the discount.

Company never responded.
Response from Tillis Tree Care
"At the time of this inquiry we were transitioning administrative personal, and were unable at the time to meet the needs of this client. We are excited to have my Twin Brother, Rustin Marchello (general contractor and co-owner) in place to over see this gap in our services."

I first met Dusty & his team several years ago when I had a very sad palm tree. Dusty recommended deep fertilization bi-annually.  Within one fertilization, my palm tree produced flowering fruit for the first time in 3 years.  My palm continued to produce flowering fruit annually until I sold the home.  I have since hired Alive to take care of my birch trees, along with my 75+ year old oak tree. I would recommend Alive Arboriculture in a heart beat!

Perfectly.   I was so relieved to find them.  They were much less expensive than any other estimate and their work start to finish was first rate. I'll hire them again and again.

The trimmers arrived on time and finished when they said they would.  They did a good job of cleaning up when they were done trimming.  No complaints at all from this customer.

Arrived on time.  Worked efficiently and very quickly.  Discussed what they were doing and if I would like different branches removed etc.  Cleaned up perfectly after they were done.

$75

This was a $75 big deal purchase. We would have paid them more, but their services were more restrictive. We needed somebody to grind a stump and they couldn't do that. We also needed somebody to remove the wood and they would not do that. So, it was pretty much come and cut down a tree, which, frankly, I could have done myself for $75. They were very informative and helpful. I talked to them briefly when they were out here so that was good. I would tell others that they don't remove the wood. They are willing to talk to you and give you as much information as you need. The quality of service was good. When I have a tree taken down I need full service and this is the first company I have seen that does not remove the wood.

Response from Tillis Tree Care
"Alive Arboriculture is a full service arbor care company and we do offer stump grinding and wood removal with our tree services. In this case, the deal that the client bought was specific about not including these services because it is geared toward small, ornamental pruning work. The debris is typically disposed of by the homeowner in their yard clean-up bin, in order to keep the cost of this visit low. The terms of the deal are very clearly stated but perhaps this client did not see them before she purchased her deal. These were also reiterated to her by our staff prior to scheduling her appointment and it was explained that she could receive a refund instead, but she did still want to use the deal. We do offer a stump grinding deal as well, and we have a full service crew that could have come out to take care of all aspects of her job, but not for the cost that she wanted to pay - $75.00. We have worked with Angie's List recently to help clients better understand what they are buying so as to avoid this situation in the future. We have made our terms more bold and moved them closer to the top of the deal. It's never our goal to have clients mislead and be disappointed after the purchase of their deal and we will always work to try to help each client accomplish their goals within what they have purchased, if at all possible."
