Today I had the pleasure of having Witkowski & Sons Tree Service come to my home to clear away…read moreseveral trees that were damaged during a recent storm. Quite honestly, I am speechless. I have used several tree services over the years, and while I have had good experiences with all of them, none have been as efficient, professional, and impressive as Witkowski & Sons. The crew today consisted of Joe, the leader, along with Abel and Willy. From the moment they arrived, they were friendly, professional, courteous, and extremely careful--especially around my septic fields, which was very important to me. I watched them from my window, and I couldn't get over how hard they worked--and yet they made it look almost effortless. They worked as a team, knew exactly what they were doing, and took great care with my property. When they were finished, everything was cleaned up beautifully. My only advice to anyone considering Witkowski & Sons is this: If you have to wait for them, they are absolutely worth the wait. I will definitely be calling them again in the future. In fact, I already want them back to do some light pruning of several rare ornamental trees in the front of my property. I trust them completely with my trees and my property. And a special word about Joe: he is stellar. His work ethic, professionalism, politeness, and genuinely friendly manner make him a tremendous asset to the company. He clearly takes pride in his work and in making sure the customer is satisfied. Thank you, Witkowski & Sons, Joe, Abel, and Willy, for an outstanding job. I couldn't be happier and highly recommend you!

I had them out to take a look at three Spruce that are not looking well. John suggested that I find…read moresomeone to do some deep-root fertilizing and for him to come back and cut out some dead wood, and do some trimming and pruning. I agreed verbally to a price. He told me Tiffanie would reach back out to schedule. In the meantime, I arranged for the deep-root fertilizing. After more than a week passed and I had not heard back from Tiffanie, I reached out. My message went completely unanswered. So, I was ghosted by this company. I don't waste other people's time, and I take exception when other's waste mine. It's a total lack of professionalism and common courtesy. Moreover, it's a hell of a way [not] to run a business! I see from reading through other reviews on here that I'm not the first and only customer to complain of this specific issue with this company. Beware! They will steal YOUR time! Update 6/7/26: They just proved my point by responding to this review 10 months after it was posted. It would seem that timeliness escapes these folks at every turn. Too bad their recall of the facts faded so much with the passage of time! I left my original review after a week elapsed between my reaching out via phone and text to both Tiffanie and John. The following morning at the start of business, Tiffanie began psycho-calling and texting me, leaving hysterical voice messages and sending repeated texts. Suddenly, she had plenty of time on her hands. I was forced to block their numbers in order to stop the harassment and to be able to continue with my own business day.

We have a new lawn! We were a bit remiss in raking (see: never) and weeding (see: once a summer…read morewhen they grow to my height) so we decided it was time to call in the professionals. I found Lawn Monkey online and they had many high ratings. Jeff was timely, friendly, and professional, came each time when he said he would. Now as far as the lawn goes, they did a great job cleaning up all the leaves scattered about, cut down part of an overgrown tree and moved the large logs, weeded my front and backyard near the house, trimmed the bushes in front so they look less ridiculous, and cleared everything out by our tree line. It looks SO much better now. I'm very happy with the job they did and would definitely recommend them to my friends in the area or on the shoreline.

I recently bought several yards of "lawn-ready" soil to establish a lawn. The service was great…read morefrom purchase through delivery, and the soil looked good when it arrived. As I spread the soil, I removed as many twigs as I could, but I didn't realize many of them were actually roots from invasive plants. As the grass is starting to sprout, so are many bindweed and common mugwort plants. I'm trying to remove the entire root system as the weeds sprout, but many roots are buried deep in the soil and remain behind. At this point, I may have to destroy much of the new lawn to fully eliminate these invasive weeds. Very disappointing, and now I'm concerned this could turn into a long-term project. I'm not sure what Madison Earth Care could have done to prevent this, but it's something to be aware of if you plan to use this soil in your yard.

They accepted the job immediately and have shown up religiously on time every week since they said "yes". Rachel sends me two or three very qualified ladies each week, who now know the property well and understand the "look" that I am going for.

I have been using Colonel landscaping for about 4 years. I have been pleased with Nick and his…read morehard-working team over this period of time. My lawn is mowed and edged and the grass clippings are blown away from the sidewalks and driveway. Nothing better than enjoying your weekend with a beautifully manicured lawn!! I have had them cut back my flower beds and fill with mulch. They have also provided to us lawn treatment in order to keep away excess weeds. Our grass looks fantastic. Lawn care is not a magic bullet the first time, be patient, and consistent and you will enjoy the beautiful benefits of this process for years to come. Nick is extremely responsive and on any given moment Nick has come by my house for any concerns or questions I might have involving my yard. We are very pleased with his services, professionalism and passion for landscaping. I know they also do snow removal as a winter service; we take care of that on our own. It would definitely be in your best interest to consider Colonel landscaping for your yard maintenance needs. I couldn't be happier! .

They say what they do and do what they say. We scheduled it for Saturday at 8:45. And sure enough, they were ready to roll at 8:40. They trimmed three trees to our specifications and cut down three large trees close to the house. The best part is that they left our place better than they found it. They are professional and easy to deal with. I'm usually not a tipper, but I was so amazed at their work that I tipped them. I strongly recommend them. John and Wendy are simply the best.
