We are a small, locally-owned company. Our owner, Jeff Bergman, has a degree in Horticulture and has been an ISA Certified Arborist since 1998. He does most of the diagnostic estimates so you receive the best recommendations for your trees & shrubs. With over three decades of climbing and tree work experience, our crew foreman, Tim Clifft, is on every job site to ensure the highest quality of work is performed to specifications and also does many of our pruning & removal estimates. Our office manager, Meghann Zolan, will assist you throughout the entire process -- from initial estimate request through job completion and invoicing. Because our crew is small, yet highly skilled, please allow 1-4 weeks for work to be completed in the low season (Winter/Summer) and 4-8 weeks for work to be completed in high season (Spring/Fall).

My sincerest apologies to (deleted member name). Things like this are bad for word of mouth and we don't let things like this happen. I'm no too sure how his call slipped through the cracks. If there is anything we can do to rectify the situation with (deleted member name) we are more than willing to do so. Thanks, Jeff.

This is the second time I have used the company. I am especially pleased that Jeffrey is an arborist and that he knows what each bush/plant/tree is, and will tell you what should be done to keep the plant healthy. He also can recommend what will thrive in a certain area of the yard, based on sun, water, etc. I will use this company again and recommend them to my neighbors. I thought the price was very reasonable for the amount of work performed.
Description of Work: I asked them to trim some very badly overgrown bushes. I'm talking about a yard full. They showed up when scheduled, did the work, and cleaned up all the branches.

Prices were extremely reasonable, extremely nice, was on time, very neat, he also came the first time on the weekend which are not the normal hours.
Description of Work: There was a large limb off a walnut tree that had fallen down across the driveway, it was being supported by another tree. He got the tree down and got it off the driveway. He came on the weekend and cut down both limbs, made sure that he got it cleaned up. He made sure that the limb was removed and then came back during normal business to completely remove the tree.

On this particular job he came by, gave the me the estimate for the job, emailed back and forth with me to set up a date, and came by as agreed.
Description of Work: Jeff removed two big Hackberries from my backyard, but I've used his services in years past and it's always been a pleasure to work with him. He's very helpful and affordable. Because he lives in East Nashville he gives a small discount to East Nashville customer's because of his lower transport costs, which is a bonus.

Waited longer than I would have preferred but was warned on the front end that it would be 3 - 4 weeks before they could do the work. I think it was 5 weeks before they made it. Did a great job with everything. I was especially impressed with the trim job they did on a large, older maple tree next to my house. Although they removed parts of several limbs hanging over my house and deck, the tree still looks great and definitely looks like someone knew what they were doing.
Description of Work: Removed two trees, trimmed two trees and removed fallen limbs on another.

I had a black walnut tree that was about 75 feet tall that was growing on a hill outside my bedroom. A limb broke off one day and upon examination we realized the tree was diseased and if it fell it would land on our house. A wind shear came through our neighborhood a week later and luckily did not take the tree down. As hurricane Issac approached we decided not to wait and contacted several tree services in the area. We received 3 quotes from $1800 - $1250. We had already made a decision on another company when Full Circle returned our call. Their estimate was the lowest but that was not the deciding factor. None of the tree services we contacted were able to do the work before Issac arrived in Nashville. Full Circle agreed to come and secure it to a nearby tree at no additional charge so that our house was protected. Today, September 6, they returned to take down the tree. They were professional and efficient. The yard was cleaned with minimal damage to the yard. Jeff even split one of the logs that we kept for a project in the backyard.
Description of Work: They took down two trees (one 75 ft. black walnut and one 50 ft. dead ash stub) in the backyard and cleaned up three trees (pin oak, oak and sweet gum) in the front yard. This included grinding two stumps.

I called 3 companies for estimates. The other 2 came out the next day. Full circle emailed me and said that he was on vacation, would be back in a couple of days, he understood if i could not wait. I told him that would be fine, just come out when he got back. He did come by to give estimate, seemed like a nice guy but his estimate was $200 higher than my other 2 estimates. I know when giving estimates is kinda of tricky sometimes, so i would still call him back again if i ever needed work done, but i did not use him this time
Description of Work: I had a couple of limbs fall in yard that i needed taken down and cut up. I also had 3 stumps removed and had other brush removed from limbs cut up from other storms that were in the woods. (I had put them there from other storms).

Met with Jeff right after I had left a message for an estimate, he came out in a rain storm and gave me a quote that was excellent compared to all the others I had gotten, about a month later we scheduled for them to come out and perform the service, they were very quick and professional, cleaned up everything and the lawn looks great. I am very pleased with the work they did and their service and have told co-workers to give them a call if they need tree service.
Description of Work: They came out and cut down a dogwood that was about 20ft high and took away all of the debris from that, then another guy came out to grind down the stump from that tree along with 6 other stumps from trees that NES had cut down, then the first team came back a couple of days later and filled in the wholes from the stump grinding, leveled it out and took the excess tree grindings away.

They were really good. He was great. The price was very reasonable. I liked just about everything about him. They came on short notice for a problem that could have been dangerous. He came back when he said he would. He did a wonderful job. He was very professional, quick, perfect clean up. I could not have asked for anyone better.

I called Full Circle on a Wednesday, over two weeks ago, for a quote on removal of small shrubs in my yard. The lady was very friendly and assured me someone would be by in "a couple of days" to review my yard and provide a quote for removal. As of the following Tuesday, I had not heard back from them. Later that day I received a call and the lady said "How big are the shrubs? Can they be removed with a shovel? If not, you will need to call XXXXXXXX to have them removed." I informed her that I didn't know what it would take to remove the shrubs and that was the reason I called them for a quote to come check it out. She was extremely nice and said she would have someone come by to look at them. Here I am on Monday, 2.5 weeks from when I first called and no one has called me back to give a quote or to even tell me to call the other guy who removes shrubs. As a matter of fact, the person they referred me to was the same guy I called last year for other work, and he never responded. I am quite frustrated, especially since this company has high reviews. If this is a job they cannot do, they should at least come review my property and tell me instead of leaving me hanging.

I did call at the end of last week with no response from him. He live fairly close to me so going by was no problem. I didn't leave a quote as usual because I felt the situation he has with his stumps required a conversation. We are lucky to be busy and seeing that my company consists of me and 2 people in the field as well as 1 person in the office we might not get to look at every job as fast as we would like to. My apologies to and if he returns my call we can discuss his stumps.

They did an excellent job. They took the tree down in sections from the top down and chipped it. They ground out the stump and, for an extra fee, planted grass seed where the stump had been. I watched them take the tree down and was amazed at their knowledge of the order of taking the branches down. You could tell they've done this many times. I was sure the yard would be full of sticks and sawdust from the process. When they left you wouldn't have know a tree was there. In fact, my neighbors told me when they drove into their drive they tried to figure out what was different about my front yard. They finally realized the tree was gone. I had one other estimate which was less money, but I was turned off when the other company knocked $200 off their original estimate when I said I had to look at the other estimate I had. I would have overpaid this other company if I wouldn't have mentioned other estimates. I contacted Full Circle and said I really wanted to use them even though they were more expensive. We agreed to take the tree down in January, during their slow time, to reduce the price some. It was still more than the other estimate, but I'm so glad I went with them. Sometimes, you get what you pay for.
Description of Work: I had a large old maple tree in my front year that had died. They removed the tree.

I received Jeff's name from a neighbor at my prior residence, each time I have contacted him he has come to meet me and discuss the job and give me a written estimate immediately, and once we schedule the work to be done, he does his best with regard to his other work and weather issues to get it done promptly. I will continue to use Full Circle in the future.
Description of Work: For this most recent job, I simply had some brush cleaned around the perimeter of my fence, including stump removal; however, Jeff and Full Circle have completed several jobs for me in the past few years including removal of large trees due to weather damage as well as removing other trees for aesthetic reasons.

Tree service said they would be out "in a day or two" to see one large storm-damaged tree, and one dead tree we want removed. We have waited 10 days now for them to appear, or at least call. As we have heard nothing from them, we will contact another service.
Description of Work: Called and left voice-mail message asking for a call-back. Call was returned next day, and I described the work to be done to a person named Jeff. He said they would be out in "the next day or two" to look at the work. 10 days later and I still have not heard anything from the company at all: no phone call, no visit, nothing. I do not deal with folks who do not keep their word.

This was entirely my fault. Being a small company with just myself and two other guys in the field it is tough sometimes to get away to do estimates. I do my best to be on almost every job to insure that the work being done is of the highest quality. I do also have a family that I spend time on the weekends. Spring has sprung and the calls are coming in. We are happy to be busy but unfortunately there is only so much time in the day. I should have called the member to let her know the situation. I think that word of mouth is the best advertising and Angie's List has been a great source for ratings. I take having a poor rating personally and will strive to avoid this in the future.

I've used them before and it was very good. I have used time in the past and they been pretty reliable on coming out and giving us quotes when we've called. Other people thought the job was too small for them to come out so we relied on them. They pretty much cleared out a whole driveway of 6 foot high shrubs in about 45 minutes and they even rooted them.

I called Jeff and we set up a date and time to meet at my home. He was ontime and friendly. He answered all my questions regarding the care of my trees. It's obvious when you talk to Jeff that he knows his stuff. He called the day before the work was to be done to let me know he was coming the next day. When I got home from work, all 11 trees were beautifully pruned just as I had asked. My yard was spotless and all debris had been removed. I highly recommend Jeff and Full Circle. I won't use anyone else.

Jeff came out to give me a quote and arrived when expected. His quote was competitive with other quotes that I received for the tree removal and pruning, which was my primary goal. He and his crew arrived on the scheduled date and performed the services that day. They were quick and did an excellent job. There was no damage to my turf in any way. Jeff was also able to help me by suggesting specific native plants/shrubs/bushes for me to consider to replace the yews that were removed. He gave me a number of possibilities and pros and cons of some plants that I was considering. Overall it was a very good experience.
Description of Work: Thinning & pruning of 2 maples, 2 hollies, 2 large burning bushes and removal of 2 yews, a 25-ft. tulip poplar and a holly tree. While they were here, I also had them trim back some laurel hedges and some euonymous bushes surrounding the home as well as several other small holly bushes.

In September 2011, Jeff was prompt, courteous, and friendly in responding to my call for an estimate. He scheduled our appointment within a week or so and was very considerate of our availability. In fact, he and his crew came out in the rain to perform the work. They worked quickly and efficiently. All were very friendly and polite to us. What I also liked was how happy Jeff was during his work, whistling while hanging from very tall trees. It's rare to see someone who clearly loves his work so much! In spring/summer 2012, we were disappointed that he didn't at least call to advise he would not be keeping his appointment. Katie from the company was very courteous and returned our calls promptly.
Description of Work: In September of 2011, Jeff and his crew shaped a very large and out of control maple, took out a large holly tree, and shaped a 90+ foot tulip poplar. They cleaned up all debris, shredded it, and took it away. However, we contacted the company again in May 2012 asking for a design and estimate for landscaping around a large patio. We've waited several weeks for this design and Jeff did not call/show up for an appointment to discuss his ideas. My husband took off a 1/2 day of work to make sure we could catch him.

I called Jeff Bergman, the owner of the company, to come over and discuss some trees I was concerned about. We talked about the possibility of trimming or removal for each tree. His expertise and knowledge helped me make my decision about what I finally had his company do. When he arrived with his crew, they went right to work and did an efficient, professional job. I got exactly what I wanted and could not have been more pleased. When I got home, the yard was clean and the trees looked beautiful. I will not hesitate to call him again, the next time I need tree work done.
Description of Work: Trimming two trees in my front yard, three along fence line with neighbor's property. Removal of diseased dogwood tree in front yard. This included removal of all debris and cleanup.
