Excellent work, and good communication. Left the yard cleaner than when they arrived, as advertised.

Mr. Spencer was professional in all regards.  The work was performed perfectly, clean-up was excellent, and he also assessed my other trees and pruned one of them at no extra charge.   His quote was a little bit higher than the other quotes I received, but I liked his manner and the careful, thoughtful, assessment of the damage so I hired him to do the work, which he did promptly and efficiently.

Thomas, the owner, contacted me when he said he was going to contact me. They came with the crew on time, had to come back the next day to finish the job, which he had mentioned would be likely. They did a great job, above and beyond, cleaning after the work was done. I would definitely recommend.

They were exceptional. It is now as if the trunk was never there. They removed the stump and filled in the hole with top soil and seed.

Excellent company- excellent people!  We couldn't have been happier with both the process and results, from start to finish!  Will definitely be using this provider for all our future tree needs!

I purchased the $199 for $400 worth of tree service deal. They came out and did the job while I was work. They did exactly what I asked for and then some.

I bought the $199 for tree service special offered by The Heart of Wood back in December 2015 with hopes of mitigating the damage from a coming snow storm. The tree is quite large, and I didn't want branches dropping on neighbors' cars. Thomas got in touch with me right away to schedule the work, and the interactions were very professional. The work was described over the phone and promptly executed (before the storm), as discussed and exactly to the specifications we agreed to with no problems. The job site was clean and other than the fact my tree had a lot fewer dead branches, it was like they were never there!  I plan to use them in the coming year for the care and maintenance of our tree.  I'm very satisfied with the service we received.

Thomas and his crew were professional and courteous.  He took the time to educate me on what to look for in the future and left our yard looking wonderful.  I would absolutely hire him again.

We have several large trees on a small urban lot. They badly needed thinning and shaping. After they worked on every tree , we went back over each tree and identified additional work needed and that was quickly handled to my satisfaction. Thomas and his crew are well schooled in the proper way to trim branches so that a tree is not damaged In fact we've had several large storms afterwards that damaged many trees in the area and not one branch came down form the many trees he had trimmed.

I had been worried about the large poplar tree since it had dropped limbs through my roof and my deck over the past several months.  During the removal of several older limbs - one large limb hit my deck railing while one of the workers was still in the tree.  Other than that, all other trimming and tree removal went as planned.  They came several days before the blizzard and absolutely nothing fell from the poplar during the blizzard- so I was extremely happy.  Thomas called me about the limb hitting and breaking the deck railing  moments after the incident.  They took great care to clean everything up and remove all debris.  
23 Feb:  with the horrible rain storm/tornado watch - still nothing has fallen from any of the trees that were trimmed back.  
They did a great job and I plan to hire them again.

I was looking to trim some of the branches hanging over the power lines coming from the pole to my house. I got three estimates, all from Angie's List. I'm glad I went with Thomas because he was very knowledgable, gave me a very good quote, was very quick, and cleaned up everything afterwards.
