I'll keep it simple: I called on the 9th. Herb came by that same evening (after hours). He called me back and gave me an estimate. He was onsite the very next day. Job done in literally 24 hours from my first call. He cleaned up everything on his way out...great service.
Description of Work: Trimmed two trees in front yard. One was in desparate need and well overgrown.

Excellent!
Description of Work: This is the 4th time I have used Robert Herbst and his crew. We had some storm damage from the snow in February. They came out on the scheduled day, trimmed my damaged tree, cut the wood into smaller pieces. Usually they neatly stack all the debris out by the curb, but this time we kept the bigger pieces to use in our fire pit. The other times I have used Robert were to thin out my trees. I have seen this done by other companies and the trees look butchered. Each time Robert has expertly "thinned" out my tree branches and always cleaned up and been extremely professional. From my past experience with Robert, I have given his name to a number of neighbors and friends and he will be the only contractor I will call for my trees.

I thought they did a great job, very professional, cleaned up everything & hauled away all the debris. I was very pleased with the work & willl definitely use them again next time I need this type of service.
Description of Work: I had a maple tree that was dying & needed to come down, plus several other trees that needed trimming & shaping. Robert & his crew came out promptly when he said they would be here. They cut down the maple, trimmed several crepe myrtles, a redtip, a redbud, & some other smaller trees.

In order to have the roof re-shingled, I had to have all overhanging branches removed, since the house is surrounded by 50-year-old trees, apparently intent on taking over. This was by far the best estimate I got. Mr. Herbst knew his business, and perfectly understood what was needed. He doesn't seem to be given to overselling. He listened to what I wanted and understood what I could pay. He oversaw the job. On completion, the yard and roof looked neat, the wood was stacked for pick up, and I was glad that the whole business had been handled so competently.
Description of Work: Removed a (very) large limb from a catalpa tree growing over the roof; cut a substantial limb from an Arizona ash; cut number of smaller limbs from another tree; removed a significant pile of fallen branches from the roof; and trimmed back some ivy and juniper branches.

This company is wonderful! Perhaps being close by helps, but they are responsive and get it done! Another Angie's list company finally returned my call after Mr. Herbst was done. He said maybe he could be out by the end of the week. Hello! I had just installed brand new windows in my house ( another Angie's list praise with that company) and they didn't break! But I didn't want to push my luck. Robert not only gave me an estimate for taking down that tree, but the price included grinding down the stump and trimming a tree on the other side of my front yard. I couldn't be happier. I used him before, used him again, and anyone who doesn't use Robert Herbst is crazy if they live in the area. Thank you Robert!
Description of Work: The first day of Spring and my house got 7 inches of snow. Before all that snow happened, the wind and a weakened Bradford tree came tumbling down on my bedroom windows and roof at 1 a.m. Sunday morning, March 21st. I called several tree service places from Angies's list on Sunday. The only one who got back to me was one close to me and it turned out, I had used him before. Bless his heart! He gave me an estimate and said he would be back on Monday. He was and got it done. I don't see the option to attach pictures here, but wish I could. What professionals!

Robert/Herbst Tree Service was fabulous and will be the only tree service I ever use. When we called him for an estimate, he came out the very next day (we live about 25 miles from him). His estimate beat a previous estimate by $500 and included haul away. We asked when he could start and he was actually able to start that same day! He and his team (2 other employees) started that evening and then worked tirelessly for about 3 days. They were very sensitive to our schedules and even asked if they could work on Saturday. Robert and his two employees were extremely nice and would quickly communicate any concerns or questions. I think they even cut down & cleaned up more areas than we told them to. Having them haul away the brush piles was a huge plus for us since the piles were probably an accumulation of 5 years worth of limbs and trees and made great snake houses! Our front and back yard now look like a well maintained park, it's gorgeous! They also left us some very nice neat stacks of firewood near the back of our property. We now have three large trees that may need to be removed due to pool construction. We just called Robert and he is already scheduled to come out this Friday (in two days) to consult with us on what trees to remove. I know he will do a great job again.
Description of Work: We live out in the country and our property is basically a forest. We had Robert clear out about 150 trees and trim all of our other trees (hundred or so) up about 10-15 ft. We then had him haul off all debris from triming and as well as three large pre-existing brush piles.

Robert squeezed us in to his schedule on short notice and did a good job.
Description of Work: Removed tree that had come down in a storm. Hauled to the curb for city pick up. The tree was not that big, but larger than we could handle. $100 is the minimum charge.

Robert came by the house the same day as I called him. He looked at all the trees needing work and gave us a really great estimate. His bid to cut down the 3 smaller dead trees (no stump grinding at this time) came in at $150 for each. For the large tree, he gave us an estimate of $1,200. He was really willing to work with us on the price. He had me on the phone during the estimate process and was also explaining to my roommate (who was home) what he needed to do. At this time, we just don't have the money, but I guarantee you that Robert Herbst will be doing our work as soon as we can afford to have the big tree done. We'll get him to come do the smaller trees in the back yard first. After I see his actual work, I will put another post on Angie's List to follow up.
Description of Work: We called Robert to get a quote regarding cutting down 3 dead pecan trees of about 12 to 16" in diameter (one of which had twin stumps), 1 almost dead big pecan tree which is precariously close to the house, and trimming of dead limbs from three other trees.

I considered myself lucky when the storms of a month ago caused no damage. Until I woke up one morning to find a huge branch of a tree in my front yard was now lying in the yard. I called for two estimates. One company didn't even bother to come out. This company came out that day and Robert Herbst was very prompt to get back to me. He quoted $100 to cut it up. When I learned that the city was no longer hauling away storm damaged tree branches, he said he would for another $25. It filled his truck and I believe it was very fair price. He was able to squeeze me in the next day and even raked up when he was done.
Description of Work: Cut up large tree branch that had fallen and was blocking sidewalk and going into the street. Hauled off everything.

Excellent. Highly recommend this company for the reasons given above.
Description of Work: I called the company at 7AM to get an estimate on cutting down a tree in our yard that had fallen down during the night. By 10AM the owner arrived, gave me a fair estimate, and had his crew start cutting. They did a fine job, and cleaned up completely behind themselves. The owner was gracious enough to give me estimates and opinions regarding other landscaping problems at our home while waiting for the crew to finish the job. I used this company once before to trim some tall shrubs, and though the work took them much longer than the owner expected, he refused to increase his charge for the work. He said he never changes an estimate after it is given. Even so, he did an excellent job completing the bush trim.

I left a message describing the work that I wanted performed. Robert Herbst returned my call with-in an hour. He came to my house as scheduled and called me at work to provide a Quote over the phone. Robert's quote was $75 lower than the other quote that I obtained. I agreed to have Robert complete the work. He said that he would be there 2 days later. Robert and his team showed up on time and completed all work as promised.
Description of Work: Cut down a tree that was growing too close to our house. Ground down the stump and hauled everything away. The tree was a Red Oak, about 20 feet tall.

Robert Herbst was prompt in providing an estimate and charged us easily half of what at least 4 other tree services had estimated. Probably owing to his busy schedule with his tree service, he could not give me an exact day and time that he would arrive to do the work, and I had to speak to him several times to try to arrange the day. However, when he showed up to do the work, he was very professional and experienced in his work and did an excellent job. I highly recommend his tree service.
Description of Work: Robert cut down an old mulberry tree that was leaning on power lines. He also used ropes to cut down a large fork of adjacent tree with dead branches. All debris was cleaned up and moved to front of house for bulk trash pickup. Stump of tree was ground.

Robert Herbst showed up on time, gave us an estimate and had a crew out the next morning to do the work. He stuck to his estimate, even though I think the job may have taken longer than planned. The crew worked steadily from morning till 6:00 p.m.
Description of Work: We have 3 large live oaks and 2 large silver maples. All were badly overgrown, full of dead branches and out of shape. All 5 trees were trimmed and reshaped beautifully, roof and gutters and yard cleared of debris. They even managed to avoid trampling the plantings under the trees.

When I got home - I couldn't tell that they had been here, except that the trees were gone. They cleaned up well and their price was great! Easily half of what other companies were charging.
Description of Work: They removed 6 trees that were causing damage to the property. Ground up the stumps. Here for only a few hours.
