A NEW LEAF TREE SERVICE

The 4 man crew arrived on time. Finished everything, including cleanup, in 2 hours and 20 minutes. I've used 2 other tree services in the past and this crew was the most efficient and did the best cleanup.

Left a message on a Sunday and got a call back right away Monday morning. Chris arrived two hours later for an estimate. I already had one from another quick respondent, but Chris' quote was considerably cheaper. He also happened to have an opening the following day so I accepted his quote and cancelled my estimate request from a third company. The workers were there promptly at 8:00 and worked quickly and efficiently. I was impressed with how much care they took into not damaging existing landscape since they were driving large equipment on our lawn. Most of the work was done in the neighbor's yard since the tree was next to the property line and one trunk hung over their property and landed in their tree. The worker who was chopping up that trunk was careful not to drop any pieces and crush their flowerbed. They raked up and hauled away all the debris and even took an extra pile of sticks that we had collected in the yard after various storms. They also cut a few random dead branches in another tree for us. Was very pleased with the job they did.

Left message on a Sunday and Chris called early Monday morning. He was at our house in a couple of hours. He looked at the tree and wrote up the estimate for it's removal. He happened to have an opening the very next day and despite me wondering if this was a ploy for the job, his price did come in cheaper than the other estimate so I grabbed at the chance to have it removed quickly. The other company wasn't available for at least a week and the third company I contacted had even had a chance to give me an estimate. So anyway, the crew arrived by 8:00 am the next day and since the storm, the ground was very muddy. They laid down boards onto the grass so as to not leave ruts in the grass with their machines. This tree was on the side of our property line with the neighbor and in fact one of the tree limbs was resting in the neighbor's tree so my neighbors even watched the job. The crew was very nice and worked diligently, taking care to not damage the neighbor's landscape. They even did a little bit of pruning in their tree while they were cutting out the limb. The job took about 4 hours and they also took a bit of extra brush that my husband had previously cut down and cut down a large dead limb from another tree in our yard. Overall I was pleased with the service.

They did what they said they would do. They responded to my requests. They did a fine job. They left what I asked them to leave, and hauled away the rest.

About the time that the work needed to be done there were storms which caused a lot of tree damage. New Leaf had to do emergency jobs, and my job had to be postponed for 2-3 weeks. Once they arrived they worked quickly and well. They removed the stumps and took away all waste. My neighbor, who had had similar work done, said that New Leaf followed directions better, cleaned up more thoroughly, and charged less.

Last week we met with Chris, who wrote up the quote for the work we wanted done.  We felt the price was quite affordable, and decided to sign the contract.  When we asked about the time frame for getting to our project started, he explained that it would be a few weeks before he could get to us. Within days of our meeting, he called to let us know he would have a 3-man crew out to our house on the following Monday. The team was right on time.  After discussing with them what we wanted done and getting their professional opinion about what would be best, the work began.  Each fellow worked tirelessly. After three hours, the crew had all the work done and the lawn completely cleared of brush. We were thrilled with the work, and would definitely recommend this company.

It went well.  Provided proof of insurance upon giving estimate.  Estimate was reasonable compared to other providers.  Four men arrived promptly and did  a great job of trimming.  They cleaned up the branches and raked up the twigs and debris.  Also asked us to inspect the job and offered to trim additional areas if we thought we wanted more done.  We would definitely have them back in them future.

I could not be more pleased with this company.  Initial call returned within an hour and Chris came out to do an estimate the same day.  Price was very reasonable.  We needed this done quickly as one tree was hindering a driveway project and Chris was able to work us in  I asked for 7-10 days if possible and he was able to squeeze us in the next day as some of his employees were willing to work saturday.  Job was done quickly and cleanly. They even fluffed up the grass with a rake when they were done.  So impressed with Chris's responsiveness.  He even left a message  to say that he received my call and what time he would be able to get back to us with an answer.  Clearly he cares about his business.  Well done!

The crew arrived a little late on the scheduled day because they were finishing another job they were doing.  That was just fine with me because the owner Chris, had worked with me to schedule the work when I was home.  The lead man Randy, a very polite young man, came to the door, introduced himself, apologized for being late and asked if I had any questions or concerns.  We went out to the tree and he introduced me to the two other members of the crew J.R. and Anthony.  We discussed how he was going to take the tree down, and I had a few concerns because at first they were not going to top the tree, but drop it all at once.  Since it was such a large tree, I was concerned about loosing branches when they dropped it between two other trees. They informed me that since they were a little late, they were going to have lunch and start the job.  
After lunch they began setting up and because of my concerns, elected to use the bucket truck to top the tree first.  So that the lawn would be damaged less, they laid down plywood and steel sheets for protection under the truck and out rigging. They very expertly dropped all the major branches avoiding all the other trees and a split rail fence that was nearby.  They set up the chipper just exactly where I asked and blew all the chips into a large pile.  They also chipped the large pile of brush onto the same pile as I had requested.  They cleaned up the area with rakes and a scoop loader.  Since it was getting late, Randy informed me that they would be unable to ground the stump that evening.  He also said that they would also clean up the area better after grinding the stump.  He said the office would contact me to reschedule.
Again Chris called and worked around my schedule to re-schedule the stump grinding.  The same crew arrived promptly on the scheduled morning, Randy again came to the door and asked if I had any questions or concerns and they began their work.  They worked most of the morning removing the stump and many major roots going out 15 feet or so.  They were very careful and did little damage to the areas next to where they were grinding.  They removed all the mess in the hole and surrounding area and even went back and re-cleaned the area where the brush pile had been .  Overall I was very pleased with the quality of the work, the professionalism and politeness of the crew, and the clean-up afterwards.  All three of the crew answered any and all questions I had and were really nice guys.   I would recommend them for any tree job.

This was my first experience with having to hire a tree service as we are relatively new homeowners.  I got several quotes and Chris was by far the most responsive.  He explained everything clearly and the estimate was exactly what he charged.  He was also far less expensive then anyone else.  Some didn't seem to want to even take the job as it was a very large and old tree.  The crew was polite and worked hard.  I will use them again.  I'd also like to mention that when they ground the stump they went into the yard in a large diameter around the tree.  This ground down all the exposed roots and left me with a flat (slightly depressed) surface.  My neighbor said he hadn't seen it done that way many times and hired them to grind down two stumps in his yard.

Chris came to provide the tree removal estimate within a few days of calling to request the estimate.   Work was completed on a specific date that I requested.   They were on time.  They reviewed with me what was going to be done since the work needed to be precise since the trees were very close to my house.   The cutting of the trees went very well.  The site was clean at the end of the job--all branches, wood and leaves were picked up.  I would definitely use  this tree service again.  

Chris was very responsive in providing a competitive quote the same day I called. He returns calls promptly.
Randy and crew were polite and friendly. They took great care removing large limbs that hung over neighbor's yard. They worked non-stop except for a short lunch break. Very good clean up.

Very well.  Chris was great!  He took the time to understand what I wanted, offered his expertise and suggestions, gave me several quotes to help me decide, even photos of what I could expect from what I was looking to buy as a replacement tree.  It all went so well.  I've used him before, years ago too.  Down to earth and extremely easy to deal with.  I recommended him to my personal friends, who also used him and his company.  Now I recommend him to all Angies Listers too.

I got them in Angie's List and they were excellent, they were pretty good. One guy was was climbing, one guy was working on the clipper, one guy was working in another machine, they were totally like in sync, they all have their jobs, their work, they got the job done, and when they left you won't even know they were here. They took a blower and blew off the driveway and there's no little branch on the ground, they're very thorough, and they're really good.

The crew was polite and went over what was going to be done before they started and asked any questions they had.  They would even do alittle more if needed. 
Great work guys!!  and I look forward to having you out to the house in the Fall.   Thank you!!

I chose A New Leaf Tree Service because of the good reviews I read on Angies List. I could not have been more pleased with the service and professionalism. Chris returned my initial call almost immediately, and when a visit was set up, he was very prompt. He took a lot of time outside looking over the area and the trees in question, and then presented me with a detailed quote. We discussed some other trees I was worried about, and he gave me a separate quote for those, so I could take my time to reach a decision. He had to cancel the first day that we had agreed upon for the work(due to weather), but called twice to be sure I had received his message, and to insure the new date was O.K. His men arrived right on time on the scheduled day, and were friendly and courteous. I was gone for most of the day, but when I returned they had completed the job, and I would not have known they were there, other than seeing the missing tree and the trimmed branches. They had cleaned up the area perfectly! They left a bill, which was exactly what the initial quote had stated. I will certainly call them again!

I had three estimates done to have the tree cut down; $900, $700, and A New Leaf which came in at around $570ish.  A New Leaf had good reviews and Chris was super nice when I talked to him on the phone.  So, I chose A New Leaf.  The guys came to the house and had to climb the tree to cut it down, due to it being situated so close to two houses.  The crew actually had to come back a second time because the first time it start pouring rain in the midst of them cutting down the tree.  They were very apologetic.    I wasn't home the second time they came when they actually cut down the majority of the tree.  When I came home, the tree was gone, the yard was picked up and they did a great job.   I would highly recommend A New Leaf.

Great! Chris was responsive and prompt. Left everything clean. The trees look great!
