The orchard including old apple trees, peach and cherry trees is looking much better! The team was very responsive and took time to discuss our trees and how to care for them. We will have them back next year to prune our orchard.

Everything went well. I used Jacob's on a prior occasion and was very satisfied with their work. My trees needed another pruning and Jacob's was the only logical choice for me. I would definitely use them again when it's pruning time.

They did an expert and efficient job on all aspects of the work. They arrived on time and immediately began. A crane was brought in to help with the removal of the maple and they blocked off the street for safety. The crane could not be placed next to the tree, and many of the branches had to be taken over the wires along the street. It  was amazing and a little frightening to watch this being done, but everything was done so well and so professionally and the job was completed without mishap. I expected that some of my flowers and other plantings might not survive the ordeal, but not a one was damaged. They then proceeded to the other work which was also done with expertise and care. The clean-up was excellent also We would definitely recommend Jacob's and in fact plan to have them back in the future.

Within a few days of my initial request, Jacob arrived at my house, thoroughly discussed all aspects of the project and answered all of my questions providing very helpful information.  He immediately gave a written estimate on site, itemizing each portion of the project, which allowed me to choose which services I wanted to move forward with immediately and which I might want to delay until a later date.
Jacob's crew arrived on time and completed the work efficiently, never taking annoying cigarette or personal phone breaks, and only minimal breaks for water or food.  They were totally professional, answered all questions or concerns that I had as the work progressed, and cleaned up all work areas completely. They were also very careful not to damage any of the other plants in my gardens as they worked, which was very important to me. 
I would highly recommend this service professional.

Contacted us back immediately, came out in days from us calling. They gave the estimate within 48 hours and came when they said they were going to. The company is also very good at cleaning up after themselves.

They were excellent. They raked everything up when they were finished. They left the yard looking a lot nicer than it was.

I was really impressed by the diligence of the work that was done.  It seemed so meticulous compared to anything that I could have done myself.  It is a truly professional service.  Proper safeguards were taken by all workers for themselves as well as the property.  The clean-up was magnificent as I had people over the same weekend without anyone being able to tell that a tree service was there the day before.  They performed such a great job, nothing looked out of place.  The biggest job was trimming/thinning a pear tree, which I was a bit apprehensive about as the tree appeared to be doing fairly well overall.  However, after the pruning job they did on that tree, it looks younger and less overbearing.  Pruning really is an art because I imagined the tree would appear unusual after a pruning, but you could barely tell unless you look closely.  The detail in pruning maintained the beauty of the tree but decreased the overall height and spread by 3-5 feet.
I will definitely be using Jacob's tree service for other projects I have planned around my property.

removed dead limbs over 2" thick.  carefully lowing pieces to the ground.  trimmed the ends of branches to thin canopy to prepare for winter.  installed 3 cables to support trunks which are lowering.  Will be good for several more years. 
 I asked if they would leave some firewood and he cut it up in pieces and piled it!  One man took the time to answer my questions about how long this would last (I've had them here before for this tree).  he explained everything they were doing. 
professional.  safe.  clean.  courteous.  Jacob and his guys care about the trees and treat the owners with respect.  It's amazing to watch them work.

Jacob and his crew did a great job taking down our tree.  It was very large and quite the task.  The tree was taken down quickly and safely.  His stump grinder came just a few days later and ground the stump as well as the exposed branches.
A few weeks later we were set to begin a landscaping project for the yard.  While cleaning away the remaining grindings (some were left behind to fill the gaping hole in our lawn) in order to apply some soil and lime to help reclaim the ground for planting, I discovered some roots that still required some grinding.  These roots were missed by the stump grinder merely because our tree was so large, the grinding and shavings covered them, and not due to any bad service on his part.  I can't overstate the size of our ex-tree.
I called Jacob to see if they could come back and take care of these roots and he had his stump grinder out the very next day!  
We were very pleased with his service and would use again.  In fact, once the ground fully recovers, we are considering planting another tree in the spring.  If we do, we'll certainly call Jacob.

They were very professional, very knowledgeable. They did everything I asked them. Actually, the property looked better after they left than when they arrived. The only thing, my wife was a little disappointed in the way they prune one tree, and that might have been a miscommunication between myself and them, but other than that they were great.
Response from Jacob's Professional Tree & Shrub Care

"Thank you for the business and the positive review [member name removed], I will share your praise with the men. I will be contacting you this week to see if there's anything we can do to the tree to make your wife a 110% happy with the job."

Everything went well. Jacob's is not "cheap," but their quality is well worth the price. Their estimate was clear and complete, and they did the work within a very reasonable time frame. Jacob was very careful to keep us informed about changes in the schedule or unexpected issues he encountered. The stump clearing and other clean-up was excellent also.

I cannot say enough good things about Jacob's Professional Tree & Shrub Care. My wife and I have used Jacob several times for tree work at our rental home in Bethlehem, PA. We had researched many tree providers and kept hearing great things about Jacob. Without question, each time he has done work for us we have been very pleased with the ease of contacting Jacob, soliciting estimates, negotiating price, and most of all, we have been very pleased with the high quality of work his team has performed. You can tell that he is a true professional that loves trees and has a lot of experience working on them.
Most recently, we asked Jacob to remove five dead or nearly dead pine trees and to grind out the stumps. We told Jacob that our schedule was flexible and Jacob kept us informed of when his team would be on site despite delays brought about by the heavy winter this year. This was particularly helpful given that it is a rental home and we needed to communicate timelines and such with our tenant (which we did every time), particularly since we are out-of-state landlords. Ultimately, the work was done well and the site was cleaned up very nicely. This was confirmed by photos taken by my local contact for the property.
Unfortunately, my tenant wrote a review on 4/22/14 that is inaccurate in many ways, which Jacob addresses in his response. While I won't address the tenant's claims or speculate as to why he would say these things, I will say that I disagree strongly with his characterization of Jacob, his team, the quality of work, and his review in general. I'm hopeful that members will not judge Jacob by the review from my tenant as it is definitely not an accurate assessment of my experience as the owner of the property. 
Without question, if I needed tree work done again, I would call just one number--Jacob's. The quality and value of the work is outstanding and you can rest easy knowing it will be done well the first time.
