After he dumped and drove away, I broke open a couple oak logs, they were at 42% moisture, completely unusable for at least another year.

Island Tree Service and owner, BAER, are very responsive and helpful…read more At my request, Baer came by to check to see if one of my trees was diseased or having a problem. It appeared the leaves were turning brown ( in spring) and we were concerned. Baer came promptly, and gave our tree a clean bill of health, and didn't even charge us, since he had done extensive tree trimming work for us in the past. We are very pleased with Island Tree Service!

Baer and his crew were an extraordinary team of experts. Their knowledge of trees and care and…read moreconsideration of all aspects of tree trimming was really outstanding... From the trees, to the care of the surrounding grounds (on an historical property) and the personal property that needed temporary relocation while working on the project. They fit me into my very restricted schedule, they were on time, they were so friendly and nice to work with and reaamsonably priced, and they finished off the large job of working on 4 large trees with an immaculate cleanup. We were so happy with the complete service from start to finish. I highly recommend Island Tree Service! Amy L, Newport, RI

The first load, several years ago, seemed to contain larger pieces, and less 'debris', but as it has been years, it honestly could be the same, so take that with a grain of salt if you will. There is a delay of weeks between ordering kiln dried and delivery. Just about the time I was expecting the delivery, I received a call that they had the truck loaded up and the recipient refused the order due to some emergency, and would I be available to take it. It happened that I was home, and available to stack wood on the day he called, so I accepted the load. It does seem to be a full load, that is, 1 cord, and as I stated, the pieces all seem a bit on the small side: not in length, but in girth. Kiln dried is, as stated, dried, so the pieces are smaller- that is expected. These just seem a bit too small from memory of the last delivery. We have had an opportunity to burn a couple of times and the wood lights right up and burns longer as kiln dried does without needing to restock the insert. All in all, we are happy to have kiln dried firewood. the delivery was within the timeline expected, the driver accepts cash or check (no credit cards) and he dumped it right where we asked him to without incident.

It took him one day to complete everything. I needed a huge tree removed and stump grinding, and then another tree trimmed down in my front yard. He was fast, efficient, fair and a man of his word.

Amazing quality work.

However, it was our "freighbors" who called Joe to come out for an estimate about a tree that straddled our property line and invited us to weigh in on the decision making. My husband spoke with the owner Joe and was so impressed by his wealth of tree knowledge, forthright disposition, and straightforward personality that we decided to hire him as well for additional tree removal and stump grinding in our backyard. Joe and his crew of two other experienced tree fellers (Tyler and Joe) arrived on time, confirmed details of the job, executed the services swiftly, and cleaned up their mess leaving no trace of the tree annihilation. I asked Joe and his team if they could do a few additional things that I didn't think of when they first came out to quote me; and of course, I would adjust his compensation accordingly. He professionally explained that he would have to see if it was a possibility due to other things planned for the day. I appreciated his candor and diligence in wanting to make sure he showed up on time for his other customers as well. He strikes me as a fair businessman who values old fashioned principles and staying true to his word. Surprisingly, he and his team moved at such an efficient pace that he was able to accommodate my additional requests. He also went above and beyond in sharing observations about other trees leaning towards our house and presenting affordable solutions to mitigate any potential destruction. In the future, we will definitely do business with them again. Not only does it feel good to support a small, local business, but Joe has built a business with a stellar reputation that surely precedes him. (Knock on wood)

It's kind people who want to help other people. First, I hit a snag regarding my landscaping service regarding my rental. Holmes was mentioned to be right down the road from a neighbor. So, I happened to speak to Crissy, the owners wife, about a quick mow. I would do the rest. We exchanged numbers like just a couple neighbors and was told I was put on the list. They showed up just like she said and it was a whole team! They made the yard look great! They even did my neighbors yard (we live in a duplex with a shared yard) for no extra charge. After settling down, I wanted to do a little landscaping. Again, I contacted Crissy about the yard. Literally that day, I was welcomed to come on down and look through what they have to get ideas for my project. I spoke to John, (the owner) and he's just as friendly. We chatted, I got what I needed and was on my way. I now have an amazing patio that looks beautiful and didn't cost an arm and a leg. From the amount of Holmes trucks coming and going, I can tell they're a very busy company. But, again, they're people too. Wonderful people who are professional but, treat you with respect and generosity. Hard to come by these days. I highly recommend this business to anyone. 6 stars.
