I could not recommend them more highly. The response was fast, the estimate was reasonable, and the can-do crew arrived as promised and did the work quickly and professionally. The crew also had the equipment (truck with cherry picker) to do a much bigger job if needed.

He did very well. The only thing is, they didn't clean up as well as I'd like. They came on time. They should tell people to get their car far away from their chipper. I had to get my car washed afterwards from the debris. I plan to use them again.

They were excellent workers and did a great job cleaning up. If they had a question about something they would ask me to clarify. The office was very prompt in returning my phone calls. The workers were here when they said they would be. Everyone that i dealt with was very courteous. I felt Steve's prices were very good and I highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: I had 8 huge trees cut to the ground and another one cut to the top of my privacy fence because it is between 2 pieces of the fence. The trees they cut were extremely tall.

Very prompt, professional, did a great job. On a recommendation from a neighbor, I contacted Big Steve's to give an estimate and they were able to come out the next day, knew exactly what we needed to do and how to improve the health of the trees where the seller had cut them incorrectly in their attempt to trim them back. We got a couple of quotes and the one Steve gave us was a fair price and was a nice guy so we made an appointment to take care of it. The appointment was only a few days later and he came out and did the work and it looks great. They cleaned up everything afterward and even trimmed a branch on a third tree that he mentioned needed it during the estimate, without any additional charge on the invoice!
Description of Work: We just bought a new home and our homeowners insurance underwriting told us we needed to have two oak trees trimmed away from the house, without providing any guidelines on how far or exactly what they needed. They also gave us a pretty narrow window to get it done.

Great job overall. Work was done professional and area cleaned up after the limb was removed. Also, so of the smaller limbs beneath the break were trimmed to bring balance back to the tree.
Description of Work: Had to remove a large tree limb on a white pine that had partially broken off in a storm. We needed the tree limb removed without damaging a fence just below it.

Big Steve's 4-person crew showed up promptly on the scheduled day. Working what seemed like non-stop the entire day they had the tree down and the wood moved out of the backyard by the end of the day. We had also asked Big Steve to trim and remove dead wood from a similar sized oak tree in the backyard. The crew returned promptly on the second day and completed all the work requested. All the work done by the Big Steve crew was completed in a very efficient and professional manner. The crew members were pleasant and worked well together as a team. I would recommend Big Steve for any tree service work, but especially for any difficult tree work.
Description of Work: We had a 100 ft. plus oak tree in our backyard that needed to be removed on the advice of two arborists. It was a difficult job because of the location of the tree and the limited access for removing the cut sections of the tree. Over a period of a couple of months we asked 4 tree service companies for quotes. One submitted a quote and then withdrew it after it's climber reviewed the job. One twice promised to submit a quote but never did. One promised that it had a quote ready (only after we cancelled its tree feeding service after waiting a month for its quote). Big Steve's Tree Care was the 4th company we contacted. Steve showed up promptly for the assessment and submitted what we regarded as a reasonable quote the next day.

I was given a quote, but the service has to be deferred until the spring, so I can't really judge
Description of Work: I wanted to have them dad had some of the trees at our new house that we just purchased, but they were not able to schedule that before the winter, and so they can't really do the work until the trees get their leaves back in the spring.

Workers were on time and got the job done quickly. After having used several tree clearing businesses over the past 10 years these guys were the best I've seen. I'm not a professional but in my opinion the use of safety lines and a larger crew showed this team of workers to be more knowledgeable and safe than the other businesses.

Steve's sent two teams. The first cut the trees down to a low trunk line on the first day. I was a little surprised when they went away without removing the trunks, but when I called Big Steve's the receptionist assured me that a second team would remove the trunks. The following day, when I was away, the second team came, removed and ground the trunks, leaving the ground-up wood for mulch.
Description of Work: I needed two mature, dying yew trees removed, and their trunks ground, so new trees could be planted in the same areas.

I had a very large oak that hadn't been deadwooded in 15+ years. Steve's estimate was the lowest, after receiving about 10. The office manager was very nice when scheduling and was able to fit me in a week later. The crew called when they were on their way and arrived a bit earlier than expected. The whole team was very professional and went out of their way to do a good job. My yard was cleaner than before they started and there were no incidents with the trimming, even though some branches were very large. Would hire again.

Julio inspected the tree (from the ground) and recommended NOT performing any service. He then took the time to identify a couple trees for me and pointed out some blight I had not noticed. I called them back because I was so happy with the first service.

I can't say enough good things about this company. I don't know what more you can ask of a company in any line of work. We've had Big Steve's do 3 projects for us. Each time, including the work just done, they have been the lowest cost and have delivered superior service. Steve does the estimating, and is friendly, generous with his time, and knowledgeable. I got another estimate for this project from a highly-rated tree service. They were more expensive, and when I asked about lead time, was told, "if it hasn't been done in 3 weeks, call." Big Steve's took 6 days from contract signing to work completed. The lead man and crew showed up on time, were friendly, cooperative and quick. One of the trees was close to and overhung our house. They were careful and competent and obviously knew what they were doing. They neatly stacked the wood we were keeping and cleaned up thoroughly. It is literally a pleasure doing business with Big Steve's!
Description of Work: Take down 2 trees. Remove brush, leave wood for burning in our woodstove. Cut wood into 18 inch rounds to be split. Grind one stump.

Big Steve's did a great job at a reasonable price. I am very happy with them and would use them again. The estimator arrived on schedule, was very pleasant to deal with and provided an estimate. After I authorized the work 4 workers came to the house and cut down the tree and ran the wood though a chipper. They cleaned up the yard well and hauled off all debris. They were very pleasant to deal with, worked quickly despite the hot weather and finished up in what I thought was a very short time. Two work days latter one workman came with a stump chipper and removed the stump. The cost of tree removal was $500 less 10% Angie's List coupon and the cost of stump removal was $125 less 10%.

Big Steve's was very responsive and had user-friendly website, making it easy to have estimate scheduled while at work. They came out the day they said they would and left a fair estimate. I ended up going with another provider that was slightly cheaper, but will definitely seek them out again for future work needed.

The crew arrived on time. Finished early. Extremely skilled team, cordial and professional. They are also cleaned very well before leaving. Could not tell they came by. Also to attest to Steve's professionalism, I ordered firewood from him, but could not use the wood due to my daughter's respiratory condition, refunded all money no questions asked. Would recommend to anyone who wants fast and reliable service.
