I initially had problems with them because their sales person had promised me a whole bunch of things and they did not really do the job that they were supposed to do, so I wrote an angry letter to the head and he wrote me back with a tremendously good letter offered to whatever necessary to make me happy. He also said that the person who I had dealt with initially was now in jail because he had stole money from him, so I think that his honesty and up front willingness to share that information was tremendous. I recommended their work somewhat guardedly because I have not seen any results since then and I have not had time to pursue it further, and I had done the cleanup which they did not do.
Response from Extreme Tree Company

"Hi Member, First I want to thank you for sending me your letter. As a business owner it is sometimes difficult to keep tabs on what other people promised you and making sure that it gets accomplished correctly. Let me know how I can turn this experience into a good one for you. I am sorry my team did not rake the debris out of your lawn as they told me they would. I trusted a new team member to do what he said he would do and he did not. I have since fired him for lying to me and letting you down, among other things. I stopped by your home and you did an incredible job raking everything up. I was not sure what else I could do after you cleaned up so throughly. Please let me know what I can do to make you glad you called me! To improve my quality of work I am taking 6 months to train my formen before I let them be the last man to leave. Again, I am sorry I did not personally make sure we were done before leaving. Thank you, Joshua Swift- Extreme Tree Company"

Last October we contacted Joshua Swift to cut down some very old and potentially dangerous trees near our rear shed.  We also decided to have our back lawn sodded at the same time.  This was the second time we used Joshua's company.  The first job was a tree pruning job on a huge 60 year old pin oak in our front yard. We have had work done on it by others but Joshua suggested that we "open" it up and he would like to do this.  By that he meant a thorough pruning.  As he recommended it would be good for the tree, I decided to go ahead.  It was so worth doing.  The tree just looks a lot better and I feel as though it is safer for the house and neighborhood.  All in all both jobs were done very well and I would use the company again. The back lawn was high quality sod and it looks great this year.  Some  branches did puncture the shed roof but he was willing to repair the roof  and make sure we were satisfied.

They were extremely efficient and professional. As my children and I watched them I was impressed at there very high level of safety and team work. I would and have recommended Extreme Tree Company to any one who is looking for a reliable and professional tree service.

He was very good I didn't have to worry about anything.  We did the whole transaction over the phone and when I got home the trees were gone.

It's a small shop and they are really responsive. I don't think I've ever called on their cell phone and they didn't answer, which was nice.  In the end they just did okay work, not the best but not bad.  It was about average.  We decided not to use them this year because price wise they are about the middle to behind the pack and the service was just average.  We decided to do the lawn work ourselves.  It's not that we were unhappy with them but we also weren't wowed.
