TALL TREE SVC

Went fairly smoothly, had to follow up with owner to get into the schedule, but work itself was great.

These guys did a great job! Amazing team work!

Very well. Professional and the results were perfect.

Perfect! Did a great job. Can only praise, no complaints.

It could not have gone better. These guys are amazing...true professionals. The team that performed the work (and they truly were a team) got all 4 trees down without touching my house or scarring up my lawn. They cleaned up everything so that the only trace left that these trees even existed is the bare spots where the trunks were ground out. I could not be more pleased with the job done. I highly recommend this company..

Tall Tree did a beautiful job of thinning and shaping our birch trees. The owner and crew provided courteous, professional, excellent service and were a pleasure to work with. From the first phone call for information to the time the crew was on property and nicely cleaning up the area, all went well. Highly recommend.

I've had Rick and Tall Tree trim this tree in previous years and they did a beautiful job so wanted them to do the removal when the tree was dying.  The process was fascinating and I was surprised at the care they took in protecting my property and that of the neighbor.  They even removed the decorative fences around my flower bed and put them back when they were done.  Rick has been wonderful to work with and his crew were very professional.  I was surprised at the skill of the gentleman who had to cut limbs that were large and intertwined and the care he took in dropping the limbs.  There were some huge limbs hanging over my neighbors yard and they laid plywood down on the ground with tires on top so when he dropped those limbs they landed on the tires and did no damage to the yard.  I had this done yesterday and the cleanup was so great that you'd never know they had been here.  The yard looks untouched.  I'd recommend this provider without any hesitation.  I had 4 different estimates more out of curiosity than anything and his was the lowest but I selected Tall Tree based on my experiences in the past with them and not the price. One estimate was double what Rick charged.  He's had a busy year so it may take a few weeks before he can do the job (I'm sure he takes on more emergent cases as needed) but it's well worth the wait.

They came when they said they were going to come and they did what they said they were going to do and the price seemed reasonable at that time although I don't remember what it was and they cleaned up the rest. I have had trees removed since then and they did the best job.

It went very well. All appointments were punctual, they did everything they said they would. In addition, they were willing to work with me on schedule as I travel a lot. Just a note. The crews here are typically very busy, so there is typically a 3-4 week wait before they can do the work. This was fine for me.
They started with the front pine tree (located about 8 feet from our house) after they first they put 4' x 8' sheets of plywood against the front of the house to prevent damage. One person went up in a truck lift and starting from the bottom, started cutting branches. The two others in the team fed the branches into their mulcher as they were dropped. The cutting person was really good at directing where the branches were dropped. After he went as high as he could with the truck lift, he got on his climbing spurs and continued up without the lift. Once close to the top, he dropped the top, and then dropped 2-4 foot sections of the tree trunk, working his way down, again very skilled at dropping them where he wanted them to go. At about 12 feet, he came down and dropped the remain trunk. They were continually cleaning up, keeping the working area clear. For the spruce (located about 2 feet from our house), one person climbed the tree and connected a rope about 2/3 the way up, which was then connected to their truck. With continued pressure on the rope, they felled the whole tree, again, right where they planned it. Cleanup on the front continued the rest of the day, moving stumps into groupings, and finally multiple passes with leaf rakes, plastic trash cans, brooms, and a leaf blower to get things cleaned up. With the cleanup ongoing, they brought the grinder to bear on both of the front stumps. The work they did grinding the stumps was also really well done, including running out some of the spruce roots out into the yard.. At the end of the day, all that was left was the tree trunk sections.
The next morning, another two man crew brought a trailer and they loaded up all of the trunk sections. Also, the cutting crew was back to work the back yard. Here there was no access for the truck lift, so it was climbing spurs from the start. These were two pines about 4 feet apart, with a 10 foot Dogwood tree and fence about 10 feet away. The same process here, with the same expert control of dropped branches. The Dogwood tree and fence were untouched. All of the tree debris had to be dragged to the front, and they also placed their plywood along the fence and the house to prevent damage as they moved all of the branches to the front. The same stump grinding, as well as cleanup followed, with trunk crew the next day. The last day they came back and did a final pass at cleanup to get any debris from the trunk pickup, as well as the last little bits. They didn't ask for payment until all was done and I was satisfied.

We were trying to get it done in late January or early February, but the weather didn't cooperate, so had to wait until March. While waiting for favorable weather, he called us a couple of times to update us on when he would be able to do the job. He even stopped by in late February to check the condition of our property. He wanted to make sure that he could get his equipment on to our property without damaging the lawn.

His price was way better than anybody else. The next bid was $2250 and the third bid was $3000, so there was no comparison.

He called us in early March to tell us that he was coming out to do the work on March 13th between 8:30 and 9:00 AM. He arrived at 9:00 AM on the 13th with with 3 guys and the yard was cleaned of everything by the time they left around 5:00 PM. They ran all the branches through a chipper and hauled those away as well as the larger pieces from the tree trunks. You couldn't tell that they had been here. They put ply wood down to get the trucks in the lawn to make sure that they didn't damage it or the sprinkler system. He and his crew were right on time, and they didn't take much of a break during the day either.

They did an outstanding job for me. I was impressed with their efficiency and professionalism. I highly recommend Tall Tree Service for pruning and tree removal.

Rick is a great person to work with, and has a good sense of humor. We originally had them come out and completely remove trees and shrubs. They are very good at what they do as these pines were all within 5 feet our our house and ten feet within our neighbors. You would never have know the trees were there. We had a friend who took the wood, so the team made sure it was cut up in manageable chunks for easy removal. We then decided to have the remaining trees cleaned up. They look great. I was surprised to see a lot of damage to the flower beds and shrubbery afterward. I suspect this was unavoidable considering the were underneath the very pines that were being trimmed. In retrospect I would like to have know that in advance. I may not have been able to do anything but I wouldn't have been so surprised. Regardless, I would definitely choose Tall Tree to do any future work. They were prompt in every respect, staying in communication regarding scheduling, were very reasonably priced compared to several of the other companies we spoke with and did an excellent job.
