They are tightly scheduled, so were only able to complete about 20% of the project in the time allotted. They took pictures, cleaned up some of the branches and developed another appointment and departed for the next appointment.

The guys were clean and efficient. They did work really well, when the tree fell it didn't damage anything. The chipper that they brought to the site didn't chip the branches that I had that I wanted to chip. They cut it into smaller branches, so I wasn't able to get that chipped because the chipper wouldn't crush it up, they advised me that it would just jam.

They arrived promptly and then had to wait for the owner to arrive. Within 15 mins he was there and everything started happening. The tree was climbed and taken down in sections, then felled and the wood we wanted was saved. Over all - no complaints, very good job and they cleaned up nicely.
Description of Work: Took down an old blue spruce that was to the ugly stage, cleaned up the branches and left.

- Exorbitant bid. The previous year I had 5 trees pruned for less money. - The two men seemed very knowledgeable. They focused on how the previous pruners did not prune the trees correctly and I need a multi-year strategy to repair. - Not sure I believe them because the previous arborists were also certified and were recommended by City People's Garden staff.

Response from Tree Resource
I’ve often held to the old adage that there are three kinds of work that can be done – good, quick, and cheap - pick any two. If it is good and quick, it won’t be cheap; cheap and good will not be quick; and quick and cheap will not be good. Our opinion, based on or knowledge of trees and the way that they grow is that this member previously purchased quick and cheap work. We could see the evidence of this in the poorly made pruning cuts and decaying stubs left behind in the crown of the trees. I would advise the member to inform the garden store that the workmanship of those recommended by them was questionable. We want all of Angie’s List members to know that we at Tree Resource try very hard to apply the best of tree care to member’s trees and help them enjoy the best that their trees can provide them.

Original one person came to view what needed to be done, looked at all my various trees and shrubs and we discussed what I wanted done. They made an appointment, two people came on time, were very cordial, and listened again to my pruning needs in the order I preferred starting with a tall hemlock. They were interested in the variety of shrubs I had in the yard and made sure they didn't overdo the pruning. They worked six hours, did an excellent job, were pleasant to talk to and I would definitely hire them again if I need more work done in the future.
Description of Work: There were 2 workers that pruned a long, high row of mixed bushes to a reasonable height, took out dead branches and branches that were too close to the house from a large, tall hemlock tree, pruned dead branches out of a bell tree and cherry out front and then pruned overhanging branches from my lilac bushes.

The arborists that came out were knowledgeable and used best practices for pruning my tree. I received prompt and professional response to set up an initial consultation. Then a clear follow-up proposal and contract via e-mail. An appointment was set shortly after they received my contract with a reminder e-mail prior to service. The arborists were friendly, on time and professional. I will definitely use this company again.

Well, first off, she said that she did not know if she had ANY timely appts, and that there was a $125 charge for an estimate. I explained that we were trying to close on a house. She said that if I paid $500, they would "bump" other apts to get to me first, UGH! What an awful thing for them to do. The "emergency" service is basically "money talks"...

We understand that many folks these days want a quick appointment. To that end, we try super hard to keep ourselves booked out no further than two weeks. It fluctuates with demand, but more or less we can keep to that. We also endeavor to schedule a few empty spots in our schedule for members that need a quick response. We charge our clients a consulting fee to look at trees, give our best advice and help them make the best decision that meets both expert tree care and our client’s goals; this is so much more than a “free” estimate that many other tree services provide. If members are not interested in utilizing our services in this way, by all means call on a different company. There are some good ones, but I can guarantee that none are better. We define emergency as a “you-need-us-now” service and we take it very seriously. If a member truly does have an emergency, then we drop everything and take care of them – we pull arborists off of other appointments, reschedule other work, and give the member with an emergency our highest priority. Here is one more thing that we want Angie’s List members to be aware of. Please let us know that you are a member of AL right away during a phone call. We have many paths for reduced costs or complimentary consultations, (for instance many Big Deal purchasers receive their preliminary assessment complimentarily), and we exclusively use Angie’s List for these discounts.

Perfect. I had large evergreens that had gotten so large they were blocking any sun from getting to the understory plants. The yard is kept as natural looking as possible so I didn't want it to look "trimmed". They did a beautiful job and it looked much prettier but still completely natural when they were done. They had good suggestions that I hadn't thought about, were very knowledgeable about botanicals. They completely cleaned up the cuttings when finished and worked every minute they were here so they got a lot done in the time allotted . Very professional and fun to work with. I thought the price was totally reasonable for the work performed.

It went well. They prepared a schedule of items to do after first visit. Then followed that schedule on the day that work was done. Cleaned up well. Started and finished on time. Amongst arborists, if 1 is the kind that does bonsai and 10 is the lumberjack kind that turns a 150 foot tree into firewood in 20 minutes, these guys are about 3.

They were offering a 'big deal' of $99 for $200 worth of service. I decided to call to get an estimate of what needs to be done before making a decision. _After_ gathering all the information to set up a consultation for an estimate I was informed that it would cost $125 just to come out here. When I reacted to the cost she informed me of the 'big deal'. I wish she had told me of the cost before wasting both our times. I will use someone else who will tell me beforehand for no cost.

Response from Tree Resource
Let me explain this process. We do not leave our office and drive to a client’s home without expecting compensation. Normally, or perhaps I should say, outside of Angie’s List Big Deal offers, we charge most folks a standard fee of $125 for an on-site evaluation of your trees and your objectives, including a follow-up written report for your documentation. We seem to explain this repeatedly. If a member purchases a Big Deal or prepays for some services through the Angie’s List storefront offers, we include the beginning consultation complimentarily. Since paying members have paid – even though it is a heavily discounted offer – we accept that prepayment as their commitment to the process of good arboriculture. The prepayment in the form of the Big Deal is our compensation. Try us out and you will see that we aim to “Wow” you. Please read our reviews. You’ll notice that we are complimented for doing good work. We try very hard to be the best at what we do. Our pricing structure is based on running a tree care enterprise that meets or exceeds the highest standard of care in our industry. Check out other online resources, as well. Organizations such as TCIA and the ISA and ASCA all have very good information for tree owners about how to choose a qualified arborist.

the two workers were professional, pleasant and worked efficiently and skilfully to do the work. They did not use chainsaws, only handsaws for the main work, and then a throwline to remove the lower branches/twigs from the other trees - methods I have not seen used by previous tree services. Especially with the special Angie's price, I thought it was a wonderful deal.
Description of Work: pruned lower branches on fir tree that were too close to roof as well as cleaned out other deadwood in the canopy at risk of falling in bad weather; as a bonus, they also removed a few very short dead or dying lower branches/twigs from another two tall trees that were too high for us to remove ourselves. Also examined another large cedar tree and gave advice on maintaining it for esthetics and safety, and health of tree.

Called them for some tree service work. They charge $125.00 for a person to go out on site and provide a written report on recommendations and work needed. I did not use them because I didn't want to pay for the initial assessment fee. They were upfront regarding the fee. I just didn't want to pay, that's all.

Alec was knowledgeable, polite, and personable. He did exactly what we had agreed upon. He did not have to add the cable which helped keep the cost down. He gave me tips for what to look for in the future as well. I could tell that he really loves working with trees. I trusted him and felt very comfortable with him in my yard. Excellent experience!
Description of Work: Alec evaluated the health of my tree (good) and listened to my concerns about branches and height. He made suggestions about trimming and possible addition of a cable in the tree. He then returned to do the trimming we had agreed upon and cleaned up all branches that had been removed.

They did a fantastic job! The very large Japanese Maple in particular looked fabulous! What I liked the most is that all changes were so subtle and didn't look invasive, yet when looking at the tree, it really truly transformed the presentation and really brought out the beauty of the tree. On working with them, they were clear on pricing and didn't do a sales job on unneeded items. They were really honest in the case of one tree in particular in that it was not necessary to do the work now, and could likely wait. This was the most expensive tree and I decided to wait a few years. On scheduling, this was super easy. They were also really easy to work with though email, which is my preferred communication. Overall, I'd use Tree Resource again in a heart beat and recommend them to friends.
Description of Work: They thinned out and pruned a large and small Japanese Maple and trimmed to correct growing angle of a Magnolia.

This is the second time I am using the services of Tree Resource. They have well owned my returning business with the quality of the work they did last time, not just in terms of what got done, but what they diagnosed, their advice and their demonstrated professionalism. The trees they worked on were the only trees in the entire neighborhood that did not shed any twigs during the windstorm this week.

The quoted dollar amount excludes the deal and reflects what I would have paid for the service without the deal.
Description of Work: The arborist looked around and gave suggestions, listened to what I was considering and made recommendations. I appreciate their conservative approach. I was sent a written estimate. I questioned the cost of the work being proposed, they reconsidered the charges. I was given a decreased rate, without which I would not have agreed to all the work being done. The arborist and another worker came out to do the work...removing branches from a sweet gum, and trimming a few branches from other trees. Branches were put int eh chopper and off they went.

We did not actually receive service from this provider because at the time of the call our Big Deal was going to expire and we were planning to be out of town. The provider was exceptionally professional and said that they would honor the Big Deal that we had purchased even though it was going to expire while we were gone. We did not have time to schedule a call within a reasonable time after we returned and have not contacted Tree Resource as we felt that too much time had gone by to ask them to honor the Big Deal that we had purchased. I was very impressed with their professionalism in regard to trying to schedule the Big Deal service that I would definitely call them to get tree work done.
