Kelley's crew did a great job. They were professional, competent, knowledgeable, and friendly, and they cleaned up after the work was completed. I would have given them 5 stars, but one thing disturbs me. Their estimate included a $0 item for "Parking Permit Fees TBD by your city requirements." The final bill listed this item as $250, which was over 25% of the total bill. When I called to ask why they didn't include that number on the estimate, since surely they had previously done work in my city and knew about the cost of the necessary parking permit fees, the customer service representative was very argumentative, but admitted that they knew in advance that the fees would be $250 at a minimum. It seems deceptive to leave this known minimum cost off the written estimate. I was dismayed by the combative response to my questioning of this approach, and to my suggestion that customers would be better served by including this information in the written estimate. I was further disappointed that the owner did not reach out to me following that unpleasant phone conversation. Addendum: I left a voice message for Ryan after his written Yelp response to my above post, and he quickly called me back. I was impressed that Ryan spent a fair bit of time with me on the phone on a Sunday to further explain and apologize for the situation, and he offered that they would be rethinking their approach to the parking permit fee issue on their written estimates in the immediate future, which I think is a positive outcome. read more

Poor service. Would not use again especially in winter months. Iron tree is a great company.

Another amazing job by Kelley Tree Service. Right from the beginning, Ryan was prompt and professional when he came by to look at the scope of work and provide and estimate. Job was scheduled and crew showed up as scheduled. Scott and the team on site were awesome, listening to what I was looking for, getting the job done right and quickly. The clean up after was great also, would never know they were here! Thanks Ryan and crew ! read more

Look no further. Ryan and his team are terrific. Job: Three large (80') pines- 2 healthy, 1 dead - to come down; 1 River Birch; Pruning of young magnolia tree (6 years old.) Estimate: Fast, easy and best around. Other: Great communication - Ryan is extremely knowledgeable and clearly enjoys his job and takes a lot of pride in the work/results. What ended up happening - during the job - he recommended two other pines come down. We were in the house discussing whether we should have had him take those also, when he texted us and asked what we would prefer. Of course we did - with all the equipment and everyone already here, totally made sense. One of the trees, though healthy, had extensive ant damage to it's inner trunk so it's great that he was willing to stay longer to take those down. Magnolia came out beautifully. Despite the fact that we live on a dead end, narrow street, when they were finished with the job (we're talking ALOT of tree trunks,) the cleanup was terrific - great teamwork to get that done. Furthermore, what stood out to both my husband and I was the team's safety culture. Excellent communication between members, quality gear and safety precautions, especially with so many crane lifts through complicated foliage. They were so impressive, other neighbors asked for quotes while he was here - and he made time to give them. Terrific small business owner and team, professionals through and through. Go Kelley tree. read more

Kelley Tree Service - Lower "healthy" tree had serious internal damage. - Tree Services Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Don't expect these guys to turn up. Cancelled on us the day before because the truck had broken down. Fine, we rescheduled. 10 minutes before they're supposed to show up the second time they say 'we decided to reorder our jobs, we'll get to you in 3-4 hours'. Infuritaing, but hopefully they'll turn up later. 3 hours later 'oh we actually can't do today, can we come another day?'. What a joke. Take your business to a company who'll turn up. read more

Kelly tree did a terrific job from start to finish. quote was very reasonable, crew arrived on time, set up safe & efficient. crew hustled the whole time. very pleased with the whole process. I would & will hire again & would without hesitation recommend ! wish more businesses were run this way. read more

So we had a huge tent set up in our yard for our sons graduation party the next day. Had high winds earlier in the week. All of a sudden a 3k pound branch falls crushing the tent nearly striking my wife. 100 People coming in 24 hrs and a yard full of tree. After some calls Kelly from Kelly tree was able to divert a crew to us within an hour or so. They were extremely professional in the hot sun, climbed the tree BC of no crane access, and took care of it within 2 hrs. This on a Friday afternoon when I'm sure they were looking forward to finishing the day. All new equipment and after clean up would hardly know they were there, besides the destroyed tent. Would highly recommend can't say enough about their professionalism and courtesy. The owners are big supporters of veterans as well... read more

Kelley Tree Service - Tree Services Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

By far the best services I had and the price were great. They worked ealy am into the night on a brisk day. My home and vehicles were in trfrom there's that were destroyed by another tree company in Seabrook by cutting 75% of the crown. 80' sugar maples gone. Highly recommend this company for the best this company would get 10 stars if I could. They did th very best job and I see them everywhere. read more

BEWARE!!! Did they do a good job removing the trees from my roof and house? Yes. They prioritized my job because it was an emergency. They worked with me and did some extra work for me for a few extra bucks... which was nice. I thought we had a nice working relationship. But they ruined my driveway with their crane and refuse to fix it. They tell me it's in the contract that their crane may ruin the lawn or driveway while they work. Really? They never put the boards down on pavement until after the damage was already done... to me that is reckless and irresponsible. Don't hire them if you like your driveway!!! read more

Kelley Tree Service - Kelley refuses to pay for destroying my driveway with their crane. - Tree Services Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Only posting this because of a week of no response from the company on Facebook: Irresponsible Kelley truck driver: At roughly 7:30am (7/8), a Kelley truck, passing through Salem heading to Marblehead, had a red light at Loring Street at Salem College. Intending to make a right turn onto Lafayette, the Kelley driver did not stop for the light at all, merely did nothing more than slow down and pull right in front of my car. I had the green light on Lafayette. I had to slam on brakes as a result. A few minutes later, the same truck just blew through an obvious just-turned-red stoplight on Maple Street in Marblehead. No pumping of brakes in an attempt to at least slow down, just plowed through the red light. Based on this lack of regard for public safety and the lack of response, I will never consider hiring Kelley for any tree service. read more

Didn't use a shield when cutting down and sprayed gravel and rocks across my yard. Teared pool cover and was told they would contact me. No call. Thank god they didn't hit a window. Irresponsible company. Better companies in the cape Ann area that will work in the Beverly area. *correction/update I was not a client of yours, my neighbor was. I came out to the side of street once material started flying over my fence and causing damage. I described what was happening, received an apology, shared my phone number and was told I would be contacted. Months went by and nothing (having a contact # and obviously the address). I'm not so much concerned about replacement/reimbursement of the pool cover damage at this point, but it's more the principle of a company/employee conducting work in a hazardous way and ghosting. Obviously if damage was done to the siding or windows I'd be calling the office non-stop. read more

If your looking for a company that's quick to take a deposit from you... then is a no-show twice without calling you... doesn't finish the job they were hired to do... erroneously and negligently leaves huge logs on your lawn for a week causing damage to your lawn... then minimizes the damage and tells you how YOU can fix it... this is the company for you! As a bonus--throw in a rude, disrespectful, belligerent and argumentative owner who threatens to sue you and put a lien on your house if you don't immediately agree to his terms and "discount" that he feels adequate to compensate for the damage and unfinished work. (And look below... I'm sure you will eventually find a nasty response typically posted after other negative reviews he's received). UPDATE: He even texts you after you post your review threatening court AGAIN and also posts your personal contact info! read more

Kelley Tree Service - Text I just received from Ryan DeRoo - Tree Services Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

They did a good job trimming my two overgrown honey locusts, but they damaged my stone retaining wall and then argued ridiculously that someone else must have somehow done the damage that same day. No one ever even bothered to come out and look at the damage. This is not how a responsible, trustworthy company acts. read more

This was our first time using any tree removal service, so we initially shopped around. These guys gave us the best quote so we went for it, and we're glad we did! Scheduling was done over the phone. We initially agreed on a date, but when I explained to them that we were hoping to get it done sooner if possible, they called us back a few weeks later and rebooked us for one day prior to the original date. It's not much, but I appreciated the effort. I was initially told that the crew was supposed to arrive "late morning", but they didn't show up until 3:30pm. I would've appreciated a call to give me an update, otherwise I was homebound wondering most of the day. I did reach out for an update and they gave me an estimate. It was more of an annoyance than anything else, however. When the four-men crew showed up, they were extremely courteous and professional. The head of the crew even made some suggestions and recommendations. They went above and beyond by clearing out some smaller branches around our house, which was great. After the branches and trees were removed, the crew cleared our driveway clean and tidy. They explained the work and I tipped them for the service. It was a great experience and we wouldn't hesitate to call them again in the future. read more

Superior customer service from office staff to field workers. Work done as specified and within quoted price which was quite reasonable. Have referred to several friends since. read more

Look somewhere else. Very poor customer service. I asked several people for quotes, and Kelley's was among the worst. Not responsive to my questions and all they care is to take a quick deposit from you. I am thankful because their lack of customer service made me look closer into their negative Yelp reviews. Very glad I dodged a bullet. read more

Kelley and her team did a great job trimming back a gigantic tree that was slowly threatening to envelop my house, making some on-the-fly decisions to balance the need to protect the house and preserve the tree. Furthermore, and I think more importantly, when we had a small disagreement about the contract Kelley and her team were extremely professional in their responses, and we worked together to come to a mutually acceptable solution. I highly recommend Kelley and her team both due to their exceptional work and their commendable professional integrity. read more

Kelley Tree Service is FABULOUS!!!! We just had two enormous pinetrees taken down at our home in Beverly and we couldn't imagine an easier more flawless process. They were professional, detailed, careful, and kind. They returned phone calls and emails right away and always listened very carefully to our concerns and requests. We would recommend this company without hesitation for anyone looking for tree removal!!! Thank you, Kelley Tree. read more

My husband and I decided to try and cut a 100ft tall tree 50ft from a house we just bought two months ago (yes this is during quarantine). So we were about 90% through the tree when it started to fall directly toward our house. While it teetered on a branch of another tree we immediately called Kelly tree service. They were here within 15 minutes and reversed the direction of the falling tree! Thank you and great service! read more

This company did only a portion of the work and never came back to finish, despite many calls (about 5-6) to the office and estimate signed by both parties. They continued to say that they would be able to come "next week" for many weeks and finally I just gave up calling. Regarding the work they did do, they left a mess in part of my yard (grassy area damaged and bark left all over) and cracked the asphalt in the street. The two trees are gone but I would not hire them again or recommend them to anyone. Dishonest and not reliable. They may give a quote that is low to entice you to choose them, but it is not worth it if they aren't going to finish the work. read more

Second job, different crew, same great experience. There were two limbs that needed to be cut off and Kelley Tree was quick to respond and send a crew way earlier than I anticipated. The price was very reasonable for the work done, and I look forward to having them come back someday for even more work. Thanks again Kelley Tree! 2-2! read more

Excellent company. The owner and workers sure know how to prune and remove trees. I had them out to trim several bushes and a few trees and I gotta tell ya, they know their stuff! Highly recommended! read more

Ryan and his crew are the best! They arrive on time they work hard they do great work. They have done a considerable amount of work on my property. their work is top notch. They took down an enormous tree in my yard using a crane there was not a branch to be found after their cleanup was great! Thanks! The Friedman's read more

I can't say enough about this company.. My insurance company forced me into action re: the huge tree that was starting to over hang on my roof. I called Ryan at Kelly Tree and explained my situation. He was at my house the next day with a very good price to remove the tree. After receiving two other prices, I went with Ryan. His crew came out and were skilled professionals. Needless to say, I was a wreck, considering how close the tree was to my house. Perfection! They went above and beyond in re: to the removal & the cleanup! My yard hadn't looked this good in a long time:))) I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for tree removal service.. read more

Seemed to know their stuff when a representative from Kelly assessed the work we needed done. Decent enough price. But on the morning they said they would be here Kelly was a no show. No phone call, no text, no email. When I reached them I was told that one of their crew called out sick that day and instead of starting my job at 7:30, it would "be a few hours." It wasn't that they couldn't be here when they promised that was so disturbing. It was the company's total lack of communication. My wife had taken the morning off work so both of us could speak with the crew to be certain of what needed to be done. We're still waiting for them to appear, four hours after the promised start time. Update: showed up at 11:10. Nice guys, got right to it. Would still have appreciated better communication. Update 2: The work that we agreed on was done thoroughly and carefully. The result looks great. I am grateful that Ryan reached out to me about my concerns. How many other times might the head of a company contact you? (Hint: Zero) Big shout out to Keith and crew! Thanks. read more

I contacted Kelley tree for an estimate to trim back trees overhanging my house and driveway. Ryan came out promptly, provided a reasonable estimate and his crew arrived on schedule to do the job. The Crew was quiet, polite and got the job done. The area was cleaned as though they were never there. Ryan came out to review the job . I highly ( and have) recommend Kelley tree read more

Great service from a very fair quote, to great communication with us leading up to and on the day of the service, to great work by the guys. They did exactly what we had talked about when I got the quote and cleaned up the site before they left. Highly recommended. Thanks so much! read more

Had Kelley come and do some cleanup after the recent microburst passed through Marblehead leaving us with many down and hanging limbs. Quick to return a call, fast to quote, showed up when expected and left and clean jobsite. Can't ask for more given the circumstances of what that microburst left everyone in town. read more

While I've used Kelley's tree service in the past...today I remember exactly why. Last night durning a windstorm a huge branch fell on our garage and driveway. Nick came by and cleared the driveway so we could get our cars out. He refused to take any money on the spot since the work couldn't be completed until later since he didn't have the needed equipment/crew with him. He came back to finish what he started at the price we discussed and has been nothing but professional and courteous from start to finish. Very pleased with my experience! read more

I found this company on Yelp and had an overall great experience with them from quote to completion of project. Kelley Tree Service was very communicative throughout and the two folks they sent out to work on the trees on my property were professional and took great care to make sure nothing in my yard or on the exterior of my house was damaged and they checked in regularly to make sure that everything was being done as agreed upon in the original site visit. The quality of the work was A+ and being able to handle the transactions easily via email through their digital invoicing system and to communicate with them via email (and not always by phone, since that's not always convenient for everyone) was A+ as well. I would highly recommend. read more

I contacted Kelly Tree Service regarding 3 trees in my yard - 1 that definitely had to be removed and 2 others that we needed advice on. We scheduled an appointment quickly and the representative called when he was almost at the house and came in to see what the job entailed. He was very informative and stated that he would take the 1 tree down, then advised on pruning back the other 2 and removing some of the lower limbs. We liked what we were hearing, then asked how much he thought the job would cost. He gave us a guestimate price that we thought was decent and he stated he would send us the written proposal either later that day (Sunday) or the next day. We informed him we were not in a rush for the job to get done, but wanted to get on their schedule once we received the quote, we told him we were very flexible with the scheduling. After waiting three days for the estimate, we called the office and were told that the person who did the estimates might not have had the correct email information. We gave her our email address and she said she would pass it on to Peyton (?). Well, it's at least a month later and we have yet to receive the quote in writing for the job. If there was any kick back on the email, then they had our phone number to call as well as our home address to mail it out, but there has not been any communication from Kelly Tree Service since the home visit. If this was too small of a job, in the future, I think it's best practice to let customers know so they can find a company willing to take the work. It's too bad, the representative seemed very knowledgeable, but unfortunately didn't follow thru. read more

Horrible experience with Kelley tree. Needed about 21 pine trees cut down next to our house. We received a contract beforehand stating they were not responsible for any damage to our driveway which made us a little nervous but thought it was standard. When the day arrived about 10 guys started cutting down trees in a reckless manner, one tree even fell from the crane and almost hit one of the workers. The entire day they were smoking cigarettes and disposing them all over my yard (we live in a upscale neighborhood and were beyond embarrassed). Also, throughout the day the men were relieving themselves behind trees in my backyard. The worst part was they left a mess of my yard, and my newly paved driveway is now all scratched up. Would never recommend them to anyone. We used Mayer before but they were backed up, should have waited for them and paid a little more for a job done right. read more

**Update** Following my review they tried calling me and left a voicemail. Looks like this boils down to a well-intentioned but rather 'clumsy' situation. Although I was home it turns out that they did swing by, rang my doorbell and got no answer. Had they shown up 5mins later (i.e. in the agreed time period) they would have seen the note that I put on my door at 10am asking them to walk up the driveway. So although they were there, they unfortunately did not walk into the driveway where they would have found us AND they also did not call me (had phone in my pocket). It turns out they were able to see the tree in question and will be sending me a quote today. **Original Review** No show, no call... and that's after I had called at 9am to confirm they were coming between 10am-12pm as agreed. Waited from 10am-12pm-1pm... They did not show, they did not call (really?!) and now I get an answering machine when I call them. read more

They did an excellent job removing two very LARGE oak trees and a smaller cherry tree. This was a very large undertaking, requiring two days and a police detail. Excellent job. Will be using again in the future. read more

My neighbors hired this company to trim a tree on the line between our two properties. Kelley Tree completely disregarded the property line, trimmed the tree over my driveway when they should have been staying in my neighbors' yard, and dropped a branch onto my car damaging it. You do not want to hire a company that is this careless about property lines. read more

I own a small business on the north east side of Newton.... I don't know if its is because I am close to the river, or if it's just my deadbeat landlord not maintaining the property but I am completely overrun by Sumac's. These nasty Weeds (trees) have completely encompassed my property, growing long branches into my driveway and yard scratching my nice car, dropping bunches of seed pods, stems, and leaves driving my landscaping costs up. They are just a mess! I called Kelley tree service and asked them to come down and give me a quote on at least trimming them back.... I was SO impressed. They were there SAME DAY to assess my situation and give me an idea what it would cost.... let me just say, they aren't the only company I contacted, but they were the only ones who gave me a reasonable and honest quote. They are coming back on Monday to do the work.... if at that point they deserve less than 5 stars I will change my review, but for now I am beyond impressed with their prices and their professionalism. Kudos to another small business owner on treating me like their only customer! read more

The only good thing I can say is that the tree is gone. Unprofessional and unresponsive unless they are asking for their payment, then they are all over it. Got a past due notice one week after taking down the tree and they still hadn't come back to grind the stump! They were hired to take down a tree and clean up a small piece of land, no clean up was done and they left the pile of wood chips for good measure! We actually had the check ready for them but they cut the tree and left with no warning, same with the stump- they came, ground the stump leaving all the bark, and left without a word. Sent them a email about the lack of work done and got no response. If I had known that they would not clean up the land I would have gone with another company that could do the work and saved myself the money of hiring yet someone else to finish the job. read more

We contacted 6-7 tree services for a modest sized job in Belmont. 2 large maples, 6 smaller hemlocks and yews. Ryan responded to my quote request within a couple days. Had pricing for me when he told me. Was about 10% lower than the other 4 places that actually did come through with pricing, and based on his yelp reviews, we hired Kelley Tree. They were able to show up very soon after we awarded them the job. They arrived on time, were super efficient, worked carefully and quickly (a joy to watch!) conscientious about clean up, worked hard with a high degree of quality. A really great customer experience here. These guys rock. read more
