Received a quote for the project that was competitive. The crew showed up the next day due to an opening in the schedule. The project to remove multiple trees was done in a few hours. Clean up was very well done. I have used them multiple times in the past & will continue to include them for any tree work I have on my property. read more

This company is awesome; from start to finish, things ran like a well-oiled machine, done with expertise, as well as friendliness. The admin. person (Raquel) was stellar in organizing the entire job; the arborist (Lauren) really knows her stuff and is so friendly; and last, but def. not least, the crew did a phenomenal job at cutting down two of our trees, along with trimming another one. They treated our property with care and they cleaned up meticulously after they were finished. I will def. be calling them for future tree servicing needs! read more

We had used this company last year for a tree removal and had had a very good experience. This year was quite the opposite. The people on site to do the job argued with my wife about what was to be done and left without finishing the job. We made a polite call to the office to let them know what had happened and were told that they were very busy and it was hectic at the office, but they would get back to me when they could. I got an email saying that they had lived up to their side of the contract, and regardless of what we had asked for, it was not represented in the contract and if we wanted the job completed it would cost more money. I paid my bill but will not use this company again. They care more about catching you up in the small print and tricking you than running a customer service driven business. read more

Pretty solid and professional business. The whole process was fairly professional. They came via a strong referral to begin with and their estimator was quite good and the crew they sent did a professional job getting trees removed with with help of crane and cleaned up afterwards. The price is competitive with other leading vendors in the area (I got three quotes and they were competitive). read more

A Plus Tree & Crane in Raleigh are the best! Wish I had known about them years ago! They were very quick to do an estimate and scheduled tree removal almost immediately. I had a really huge tree in the fenced-in backyard where the only access was a 4 ft wide gate, plus there was an arbor they had to go through. They did a great job, meticulously removing the tree bit by bit and grinding the stump. (I had declined the use of a crane.) I'm absolutely amazed at how careful they were and that they did not damage even one tiny plant surrounding the tree. Will definitely hire again! read more

Phenomenal! Great communication, quick turnaround time to come do the job, very efficient while here, and so clean! If the trees weren't gone, and there wasn't a pile of mulch, I would've had no idea they did the tree service. Highly highly recommend! We had them cut down and grind the stumps for two trees in our front yard read more

A+ Tree Service 1) Communication in general * Excellent 2) Quoting process * Fast and accurate 3) Actual Job performed (day of) * Very professional 4) Repeat business recommendation * YES, YES, YES - would recommend them to anyone looking for professional team needing tree service. NOTE: The crew who came, overachieved in work done and left without a single footprint. The little guy in the Tesla (Kenneth) did an excellent job too! read more

We had a tall, large gum ball tree that died and needed removing, along with some other trees so we could do some renovations in our backyard. We reached out to four or five companies total and received quotes for tree removal and stump grinding services. The quote we received was within our price range, and thankfully they had a cancellation so we could get the trees removed less than two weeks after receiving a quote. The day of, the crew showed up bright and early, worked about 8 hours and removed all six trees and grinded all the stumps! We have so much more space and light in our backyard now! I was worried about one of the stumps right along the fence, but they were able to grind it really well! My boyfriend and I are very happy with the work! read more

Had a large branch come down on an old tree during a storm, which required the tree to come down. A+ was quick to visit and provided a very competitive quote. They were quick to get us in their schedule - would definitely call A+ again . read more

Wow! Did not leave a leaf on the ground! I received a quote yesterday, they came today. Unfortunately I had left my sprinkler on and the spider which is a 90 foot extension and a tracked vehicle driven over pods could have messed up the yard or my neighbors yard They said it could leave tracks on the lawn. So the guy said I'll climb the tree. I said any change in price? He said no. Three big trucks, all parked on the side of the street none in the neighbors lawn. A crew of about nine people were here for an hour. He took out dead branches from the top of a maple tree that was 67 feet tall. It was interesting to watch them work as a team. They cleaned up and left, great service. Would highly recommend. read more

They should be called A+++ Tree and Crane Service!! My neighbor and I had 5 large (40 foot) pine trees removed from our front yard. The estimator was here within 24hrs of the estimate request. He was pleasant, informative and answered all our questions. He gave us a more than fair quote so we signed the contract which outlined everything he was going to do at the property. Two days later a crane, trucks and men came to start work early morning. It was fun to watch the crane work! After 4 hours of working you would never know they were there. The trees were gone and stump grinded. There wasn't a pine needle left in the street or on our driveways or lawns. They cleaned better than I do and I'm really particular about my lawn. I would 100% recommend this company for any tree removal job. Thank You A+++ Tree and Crane Service for doing such an excellent job!! read more

I am in awe of your amazing team! From Kenny on quoting to (sorry forgot and in office calling on reminders) to Noelle and brother/team who handled tree removals. My whole neighborhood is asking me who did the work. Quoted - Thursday, 12 trees removed - Friday - right....1 day turn around. You made my expected "garden project" less stressful..not sure what else your team does but I'd use whatever services you have in the future! Also I have something for Kenny please send him by! read more

Made it easy for us and the work was completed quickly. Very happy with the service and the people!

Wanted a quote to cut down a few trees. They told me they could come by Wednesday. I said great - I'll be here until 4:30. They could not guarantee this which I understand but I got home at 7:30 pm and asked my friend if they had come by and she said no. I get a knock on my door at 7:50pm! Without a call, text or email. Nothing. I understand that they may choose to work that late and some people are ok with it, but don't show up to my house after dinner time without warning, it's rude. I cannot speak to their work or pricing as I didn't get a quote from them, I had 4 other quotes from companies that showed up when they said they would and made sure I knew they were on the way. read more

This is my second time working with A+ Tree and Crane and it will not be my last. The team is fast, professional, friendly, and communicative. I am very happy with the results. No damage done to the Japanese maple and shrubs already planted. The work was performed on .4 acres. 6 large trees were taken down. All other trees had canopies raised and were also pruned. They did a great job raking out the soil and cleaning up. A BIG THANK YOU to Alfredo, Gabriel, and Raphael for the amazing job. I will see you all next year! read more

We had two trees close to our home. The roots were growing under our foundation. These guys saved our home! They were kind, efficient, and did the job much better than I thought possible. They left my lawn looking great. They even took special care to protect our home from debris from the stump grinder. Lastly, their price was extremely fair with no haggling necessary. read more

I watched these guys cut down three 20-year-old trees that had died and needed to be removed. This was complicated because the trees were immediately adjacent to a 6-ft tall metal fence and half of the canopy was above holly trees on the neighbors' property. They cut the trees down without any collateral damage, chipped the trees, and hauled both the chips and the giant stumps away. They also cleaned both properties of fallen leaves and didn't leave anything behind. I liked how they put down a track on the grass so the specialized tree tractor-forklift didn't even leave an impression in the grass or landscaping. read more

Made an appointment - no time given so stayed home all day After dark, no phone call, no show The lack of professional courtesy of a phone makes me wonder about the service they would provide. When I spoke to a service representative the next day, his only excuse was that it was after dark, so he didn't bother to come by. I won't call this company - lack of professional courtesy is a reflection on the company's professional practice. read more

We had 7 trees that were messy & leaning towards our home and it was time to get rid of them. I used A+ for the 1st time but it will not be the last time. They were very quick to come, their crew was very professional & honestly it was exciting to watch them do their job. I have several other trees that will be next and I will use A+ again. read more

Large pine tree went from green needles to rusty brown over a very short period of time--so to keep it from spreading to other trees, we needed to get it removed asap. A+ responded by squeezing in an estimate on day 1, and sent removal crew (8 people, 7 trucks) on day two. Access through damp area increased urgency since rain was forcast for day 3. Result: tree removal was completed in 3 hours, including cleanup. A very visible part of lawn over which tree removal machine had to pass was protected with large thick rubber pads. They worked extremely well--net no damage to lawn or driveway. Team worked efficiently and safely. The climber was amazing and was able to drop limbs without damaging surrounding trees/shrubs.. Not cheap, but a tough job very well done. read more

They gave us the best quote of three different companies. They showed up on time, and cleaned up the whole site before they left. Highly recommend! read more

Not only were they the most reasonably priced but also the best in communication of all the services that I contacted. Others would not respond or they were significantly more. They quickly gave me an appointment for the estimate and did the work 2 days later. The crew was extremely professional and took great care not to damage my fence. Would hire again in a heartbeat! read more

From estimating to managing the tree removal the A+ team was very knowledgeable, professional, good at problem-solving, and worked efficiently as a team. The A+ company exceeded my expectations. read more

Great work from the A+ tree and crane service. They came in and efficiently worked on our trees and were done in about an hour and a half. the work completed was to specification. There were about 5 people doing the job. One up in the trees cutting, a couple on the ground raking and pushing limbs to the dingo. One carting the limbs to the front in the dingo. And one grinding up the branches. The value was great and beat several other quotes. They could really benefit from double the amount of mats that they lay down to cross your yard. They worked like a charm when they were covering the grass but in the areas that were not covered up by the mats, they ruined the lawn. Something to really be mindful of if you value your lawn. We were warned about this, but in my opinion, they should be striving for excellence, not just saying "it is what it is" especially when they know the solution and are only half way solving it. Would hesitantly recommend them to my friends with ugly yards. read more

Excellent work crew! Very professional and thorough. They are also very reasonable in pricing. Couldn't be happier. Highly recommend.

My MIL had a tree removed from her front yard recently. The workers left all of the tree chips...basically a giant mound of ground up tree debris. When my MIL called and spoke with Abby about it, Abby informed her that the yard debris would be removed later that week. Nobody ever came to pick it up. My MIL called and spoke with Kenneth, who informed her that there is an extra charge for debris removal. Nowhere in the quote she received was there mention of an extra charge for debris removal; she's never had to pay before. My MIL was promised removal of the debris with no extra charges by one of the employees and the company should honor that. I posted on the company's Facebook page and received a quick answer: Hi Rachel, sorry for the confusion regarding chip/mulch removal. It was Abby's understanding from XXXX that they had left chips on site in a random pile, which was surprising because they never get complaints, only compliments. So with that, Abby did tell her that we would come remove the chips. When she spoke with Kenneth he discovered that she meant that there were chips left in the stump hole. This is something that we do not remove for free because it takes additional time and man power. We have no problem taking care of that stump hole chip removal for you. Again, sorry for the confusion on our end. We would love to come and finish it up to her liking. Unfortunately, the company has not attempted to contact my MIL, nor have they come to remove the chip mound. My MIL has been waiting for A+ to honor their commitment because she is trying to have another tree planted in that spot. Given that A+ doesn't appear to want to actually "come and finish it up to her liking," she will have to pay someone else to remove the debris so her new tree can be planted. It's good to know of local companies that do NOT honor the commitments made by their employees. A+ Tree & Crane? More like F. UPDATE: A+ came an removed the chip mound this afternoon. I will note that it seemed to take some combination of my Facebook/Yelp reviews and persistence by my MIL that got them to honor their commitment, so I'd still be cautious and very clear on the terms of your agreement if you choose to do business with them. read more

I had (1) dead pine tree, and 6 beetle infested pine trees removed, from my back yard. The A+ Tree and Crane team arrived 30 minutes prior to their schedule start time, it was obvious to me that Safety was the top priority, once the crane was positioned, level, and secured in place, they then briefed their plan. They went so far as to go knock on my neighbors door and briefed them with what was about to happen, ensuring children and adults stayed well out of the work zone. These trees were a minimum of 36 inches in diameter, and over 60 feet tall. when all the trees were down, my yard, the driveway and street were left in better condition and they found them. Extremely Professional team, HIGHLY Recommend A+ Tree and Crane Services to Everyone. read more

My husband and I were very happy with this service. We called two other tree companies for estimates and one didn't even show up while the second came by 3 hours after they were supposed to. A+ Tree didn't give us an ETA because their estimators do apparently 25 or so estimates a day. However, they came out on a Tuesday night and promptly emailed us their estimate afterwards. They were extremely responsive via phone and email and even made us aware of an additional coupon that had been posted on their website, which we didn't know about. The A+ workers arrived at ~ 8 am on Friday and the job was completed by 11, with them taking care to not ruin our lawn. We'd happily use them again in the future. read more

Very professional and did a great job removing a very large rotting tree from our yard.

Our home sits below street grade and where the trees sat in the rear was even further below grade. This needed a crane. Using the bobcat like rigs to transport the tree remains to the trucks wasn't practical. It also made me extremely nervous despite all the positive reviews and experience A+ has. When it's your home there is a little more anxiety, at least for me. After the entire crew was assembled, I left to run some errands and try to get my mind on something else. After one hour I returned to see how much progress had taken place. I could not see the trees in question. All 3 trees had basically been cut down where you couldn't see them looming in the background over the house. In the street the workers were dismantling what appeared to be the crown of one tree. It was huge by itself. These trees were covered with ivy which was the reason I wanted them taken down. The crane then moved in position over our house and a short time later, a huge trunk of the last tree was lifted from the rear, over the house, and placed in the street for dismantling. Basically, three large trees were removed from the rear in under 2 hours and that included the setup of the crane which I estimate was at least 15-20 minutes. I was thinking 3+ hours just to cut them down. Simply amazing work. I applaud these skilled professionals. After everything was ground up, logs loaded for take away, leaf blower was used for final clean up, it was like A+ Tree and Crane was never there. THANK YOU. read more

My wife called them last week to have them come out to give us an estimate on some tree work we needed done. They were scheduled for 2/14/17 in the AM. No one came, no one called, no one contacted us at all on that day. Very unprofessional. I can cross you off my list now. Plenty of other companies to give my business to. read more

Just completed the eighth job with these folks taking down falling trees and/or pruning. Besides being really nice folks that work with you, they work long hours to get to your job ASAP. If it is an emergency they are right there. They have a lot of equipment, work carefully and clean up. They follow your requests and directions. read more

I was going to use them to clean up the dead limbs in the trees on my property. After I saw what they did at my cousins condo in the Willows, no thanks! Cut down whole healthy trees. They get paid more to cut down than trimming, must be the reason! read more

We had a large tree fall across our back yard at 630 one morning. It was wedged against another tree or would have smashed through our roof. We tried to contact a number of tree services. A+ called us back immediately . Two representatives came to the house within 30minutes. Because of how our house is situated heavy equipment could not get to the back. A crew was called , a large crane had to cross our front yard to lift large pieces of the tree over our house as it was cut by hand in the back. I can't say enough about the response , impressive work they did and cleaning up after. I will recommend them to anyone. read more

What a fantastic company to work with! Fair prices, friendly people, and a crew that is so efficient my head was spinning. Kenneth helped me setup the initial estimate appointment and was friendly and very easy to work with. Abby helped me coordinate the job, worked with me on the payment, and is even helping us schedule our next project. The technician that led our project was Hector and he was kind, worked quickly, and was very knowledgeable about trees. He showed us which trees he was concerned about, made suggestions on what to remove vs. trim, and generally helped us gain confidence in knowing and understanding potential issues for the future. I would HIGHLY recommend this awesome local business as they provided a great outcome and were friendly and kind throughout the process. Wish everyone we dealt with treated us like A+ did!! read more

This company came out and cut down 43 trees and ground the stumps. Then they chipped the tree limbs per our request and scattered the chips. they were the priced the best of 4 quotes. They showed up on time, cleaned up beyond our expectations and managed every aspect of this job in a very professional manner, From begining to end we were extremely happy with their service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND A Plus Tree and Crane. read more

Just had 6 large pine trees removed from the side and the back of my home. Kenneth came out with the crane since trees were so large and close to my house. It was amazing to see how fast and efficient they were in cutting up trees and grinding llimbs. I was concerned at first about my large azalea and a Crape Mrytle tree but they were extremely careful in removing trees right next to them. They grinded up the stumps as in contract and left chips in hole. They did an excellent job on cleaning up everything and the young men were extremely nice and respectful of my property and my neighbors. Would definitely recommend them. I now have lots of sunlight and no more pine needles falling all over my roof and clogging gutters. read more

AWESOME JOB! While this business has not done work for me, I have watched them perform 2 very DIFFICULT jobs this week on my street. Hard to comprehend how they can do what they do, but they do it and do it well. Took out about 17 pine trees (approx. 200 feet tall, ea.) with precision of a skilled medical TEAM! Spoke with one of the homeowners (14 trees) and was informed of the price which was MORE THAN AFFORDABLE! Please do yourself a favor and consider hiring this business for tree removal and more. I will recommend them to anyone I come across who expresses a need for their services. Can't imagine anyone better out there! read more

Kenneth was prompt in answering my messages and very courteous. He was available all the time to answer any questions or concerns of mine. He was prompt on the estimate and the price was very competitive. I gave the work on the spot and they came the next day to complete the work. There was a slight glitch in their scheduling where they sent the crew without confirming it with me. However that was not a big deal as they came, did their work and left at lightening speed. They remove a large willow oak from front yard, which was too close to my house for my comfort and bunch of medium sized trees from backyard. The crew was professional and cleaned things up as nothing had happened. I will call them again and recommend highly. read more

Very lucky to have found such a great service company. Timely, efficient, safe, and reasonably priced! Performed a very large residential job seamlessly. Cleaned up after so well you would have never known they were there! I highly recommend this company to anyone! read more
