Erik Nye The Tree Guy

Erik did a great job trimming and pruning my trees including conifers, a laurel hedge and a fruit tree. Reasonable price. I should have taken before and after pics. I'll definitely call him again next time I need tree work done.

Eric and his crew did a great job. I had two mature fig trees that had outgrown where I had planted them over a decade ago. Erik responded to my request for help, met with me, we agreed on a price, and he and his crew arrived promptly and did a great job. They were professional and respectful, hardworking and cleaned up. I would definitely recommend Erik Nye the Tree Guy.

They did great job! super happy about it. Also they cleaned up after the job was done.

Did a great job at very reasonable price.

I had already gotten a quote from another tree company. Called Erik to get a second quote, which ended up being a little less, so I decided to go with him. We agreed on the work to be performed and scheduled a time to get it done.
On the day of the job, they were late. This wasn't a huge deal since he warned me ahead of time that they are often late, and I expected it based on other reviews. Once they arrived, they needed to borrow a drill and an extension ladder from me because they apparently had not come prepared. After about 2 hours, Erik then came to my door to tell me that they needed to make a supply run and would be right back, which was again baffling since he knew exactly what work he was supposed to perform beforehand.
After a couple hours of waiting for him to return, I decided to call and see what the hold up was. I could not get ahold of him. More time passed, and he didn't bother to get back to me until 7pm (after being away for 5 hours). He informed me that they were still planning on coming back and finishing the job that night. Another 2 hours passed without hearing anything, and he finally texted to tell me that they would need to come back the next morning. I was pretty annoyed about this since I had already taken one day off of work in order to be at the house only to spend the majority of my day stuck there unable to run errands or do anything because I didn't know when they'd return. Now he was telling me I would have to stay home a second day.
On the second day, he was late again. In fact, late is a gross understatement. He never showed up in the morning so I tried to get ahold of him after noon. When he finally got back to me, he simply sent a text saying "morningISH". More time passed without him bothering to give me an ETA. He didn't end up showing up until 7pm in the evening, which meant I took an entire day off of work for nothing. I found his complete lack of respect for me and my time to be very frustrating. 
He got to work and continued well into the night (until about 10:30pm, much to the dismay of my neighbors). In the end, he didn't fully finish the job but I didn't want to deal with him for a third day. I had checked on the work several times throughout the night, and he only ever went into one of the two trees he was supposed to clean up. He also did not have time (or light) to cleanup the cuts on the other various trees like he had promised.
I didn't want to argue with him not doing his job, and simply paid him so that he would be on his way. In addition to the amount we had agreed on, he also demanded that I pay him $80 for supplies he had purchased.

I was pleased with the work that Bill Nye did. He arrived on time and we discussed what I wanted done. Bill pruned branches that were growing over my roof from three large trees. He filled up my yard waste container. The rest of the branches were cut into manageable lengths and piled in the driveway for me to discard in future weeks in the yard waste container. I was impressed with Bill's deep knowledge about trees and his enthusiasm about his work.

Great, Came next Day and finish same day.

He did a good job.  He did what we needed him to do and I would recommend him.

The service turned out fine. He removed 2 small trees and also trimmed 2 trees. I was not present when he did the work, but I assume he finished the work within 3 hours. He came out and took care of the work the day that we met.

I had an Angie's List coupon. Erik is a nice guy but I think this Angie Deal really hurt him. He seemed overwhelmed and unresponsive. He rescheduled on me 3 times. The final product, the trimmed tree, looks good and he wanted to make sure I was happy with the outcome. But he also left me to clean up the debris. Very friendly but it bordered on unprofessional.

After purchasing the coupon for tree service, I had not heard from Erik. I initiated an email and got a reply about two weeks later, phone conversations for him to start work the week of October 7. No show of him that week and the following week, there were conversations on the phone about him coming, and yet he did not. I gave up for a few days and again initiated a phone call on Monday, Nov. 11.

He said he would be out on Thursday,the 14th, to do the work. He was a no show and no call. I called him that morning to confirm the appointment and left a voice message. Later in the day, I called again and the voice mail was full. I called on Friday to let him know I am cancelling the coupon and requesting a refund, however his voice mail is full and not taking messages.

We had five small to medium trees in our yard that needed light trimming and one tree we wanted significantly trimmed.  Eric had an Angie?s Big Deal and good reviews so we bought the Big Deal.  We received a message from Eric within a few days and then heard nothing.  We called after a few weeks.  He asked us to text our address and he would send someone to take a look.  No one came.  We called again, this time a bit angry because we wanted the work done before the leaves fell.  He said he was on his way.  He showed up three hours later. 
I walked around the yard with him and showed him the trees we needed trimmed.  His pricing was $50 to $100 per tree, even the smaller ones.  If we wanted him to clean up the debris it would double the price.  In the end I would owe $600 in addition to the $199 I had already paid which was supposed to be worth $400.  I ended up having him just trim three of the most bothersome trees, leaving the branches behind for us to clean up.  He said he used his chain saw on the branches so they?d be easy to put in the bin and it should fit in one bin.  He did cut some, not all, of the branches and it took three bins. 
A neighbor had gotten a Living Social deal for $199 for tree trimming.  They came, took out two huge trees and hauled off three truckloads of debris.  I wish I had gotten the name of that person before the neighbor moved. 
As far as professionalism, he spent far too much time talking about things other than tree trimming. 

It was difficult to get Erik to schedule.  He's a free spirit and it's hard to pin him down.  If I wasn't flexible in my schedule, I would have gone with another option.  Once we got him on-site (after a reminder phone call - they arrived in the afternoon instead of 9am like pre-arranged) he and his helper did a fine job of pruning two fruit trees that were in bad shape from neglect.  Next spring will tell if these trees will like their new styles.  Erik and his helper wanted the wood from 3 dead wild cherry trees that we needed taken out and the trees were in a tight area and next to my trailer.  They managed to remove them and not ding the trailer or the fence.  I don't know if I got a great value for my money, but I think they did a good job on the trees.

He did a very good job of trimming the tree. He had to climb up into the center of the tree using all the appropriate gear. He made the tree look much better and assured us that it was safe and we need not worry about any strong winds bothering it. He is a very friendly man who we felt was very knowledgeable about his trade.  He was not extremely easy to make an appt with as it took several calls to make arrangements. He was a little late arriving and did not come prepared to haul away the clippings. We were willing to take care of them ourselves, but felt he should have been prepared and brought a truck or trailer. He only had a small car.

Erik was very prompt and very effective.  I was afraid we would have to remove a large juniper tree in the yard that we really want to keep.  He provided advice on watering and fertilizing the tree.  We asked him to look at several other trees and shrubs on our property.  He provided a quote and came back the next day and did the work.  Work was well done and he provided advice about care of the trees and shrubs as he went.  Very nice, very professional.

Erik Nye did a great job with providing a service that was fast and pain free.  His price was fair which is why I chose him.  After talking with him for a couple days, procuring a quote on a Tuesday.  He was quick enough to start the job on the Thursday after.  He cut the first tree down, cut it up, and left at lunch to pick up the wood chipper.  He returned after a couple hours, chipped the branches and started on the second tree.  He and his coworker started on the next tree, but only cut it up half way.  I would have given him a perfect rating, however, he left the wood chipper and the half cut tree overnight.  And than cut that last tree on Friday.  In addition to the however, the wood chipper was left over the weekend and the remaining firewood was not picked up until the Wednesday after the weekend.  Overall, Erik Nye recieved a good rating.  I would recommend his service if you want to be frugal or in a time crunch.

He had no truck for the branches.Put into his friends SUV.No ladder,climbed along the top of cedar fence to trim and not much of a clean up.

He emailed me after the purchase and I called him and set up a time for him to come out. He came out and said he would start the work the next day. It has been weeks since then and he has still been unable to come out. I have tried to contact him and many times he will not return my phone calls.

Absolutely the best.   He and his partner were punctual, clear, honest.  They did an absolutely superb job, then cleaned up after themselves.  As long as he is in the tree business, I will use him.  No question about it.

Erik came out and gave us a very reasonable estimate. We needed to get our stumps removed before our fence was put inand he came out on Christmas Eve to make sure it got done. He was over an hour late, but I expected that based on reviews I had seen on Yelp. I called after an hour and he said they had truck trouble and were just leaving. I would have preferred a proactive call, but he's a nice guy who runs on his own time. Our yard was cleaner than when they started! They did a fantastic job trimming our tree, it looks beautiful and is no longer in the way of our neighbors.

They also completely swept up debris and did additional pruning to the tree where it was needed.  I was very pleased with the quickness of the response and the thoroughness of the job and clean-up.

He is reliable. He did nice job. He cleaned up everything when he left and it looked as if they weren't even there. I am going to use him again.

I phoned Erik, having read his reviews on Angie's List, the day after a windstorm caused extensive damage to my 50+ year old dogwood tree.  He was helpful, polite and promised to stop by that afternoon.  He arrived, right on schedule.  He looked at the damaged tree and assured me that the tree was not dead or dying.  He also quickly offered to remove the branches weighing heavily on my phone and cable lines, at no cost to me.  Using a pole saw, he did this and then gave me an estimate on the remaining work.  I agreed to his price and he promised to come as soon as he could - the windstorm had caused a lot of community damage and he was busy. 
He showed up the following day while I was at work, performed all of the work as promised and everything was complete by the time I came home.  He meticulously cleaned the yard, even scooping up after my dog.  I am recommending him to all of my friends and have also requested bids on three additional projects that I had planned to do this spring.  He was thorough, friendly, and true to his word - kind of a rarity these days.  I would have no hesitation giving him the highest rating!

I had rodents in my attic and the pest control people told me that I needed to cut back the trees and bushes that allowed the rats to climb up to my roof line.  I love my trees and bushes and really didn't want to cut things back but I was freaking out about the loud chewing sounds that were coming from my attic.  I called Erik Nye with a touch of hysteria in my voice and told him my situation.  He told me he had worked with several homeowners who had the 'rodent super highway' foliage problem.  He and his partner were at my house in less than an hour (!) to look at my yard.  My house is very close to my neighbors so I've always been reluctant to cut back the foliage because I don't want to be looking in their windows.  Erik completely understood that I wanted to be ultra conservative but still get things cut down from the roof and away from the house.  He gave me a very reasonable estimate that day which was a Friday and said he and his crew could come do the work on Sunday.  I was really happy that I could get it done that fast as then the pest control people could get the last rodent access holes plugged up on Monday. The bamboo by a hard-to-reach part of my roof prevented the pest control people from setting up a ladder to install some missing flashing. 

On Sunday Erik and 2 workers showed up on time.  He came in the house to look out the windows to see the foliage that I count on to provide visual separation from the house next door. Several times he stopped work to show me what they were doing and to get my opinion about cutting more or stopping.  I really appreciated this.  My neighbor's tree hangs over my roof.  I had already talked to her about the fact I needed to remove some of the branches hanging over my roof.  I assured her that we would be making only the minimum number of cuts to protect the beauty of the tree and to provide protection to my roof access.  When Erik was working on the tree, the neighbor came out and started ragging on him.  He was as diplomatic as possible but she wouldn't stop so he finally had to tell her the law says everything that hangs over my property line can be cut down as long as I didn't kill the tree.  He explained that he had seen property owners behave in that drastic fashion and pointed out that I was making minimal cuts.  If I hadn't told her that I would be trimming the tree and if she had not been home, I am betting she would not even notice as the tree looks as beautiful as always but is no longer part of the rodent highway.  I am really happy with the entire job.  I loved how quickly the work was done and with the cost.  Erik and his staff were easy to deal with and he really listened to what I wanted.  Definitely a job well done.
