When I called Oak Arbor Care to have my trees trimmed during the dormant season, I could hardly believe my ears when I was able to schedule a trimming within a week. Yesterday, as promised, "Curtis" arrived (15 minutes early!), ready to get to work. He started on my two dead aspen in my backyard, shinnying up the one good aspen, then, chunk by chunk, taking down the two dead trees. I watched for a few minutes because I find it interesting to see a professional at work. I left for a minute to start lunch, and by the time I came back the two trees were just about down. He had chainsawed 'em in the time it took for me to get lunch going, and was beginning to haul the wood from my lower back area, through the snow, around the house and into a chipper. I mean, talk about efficiency! About the time he was cleaning up, his partner and owner, "Jake Chestnut" arrived from another job. He climbed the other tree in need of trimming, an ash, in about two minutes, through the use of a rope and pulley system. Again, fascinating to watch. Jake selectively cut the limbs I had asked for him to take out that were covering my fireplace chimney. With Curtis' help he lowered the limbs piece by piece to the ground where Curtis cut them up. Together they ran them through the chipper. Afterward, Curtis raked the snow (!) to clear off the debris left from the cutting and hauled it up to the truck. Then the two of them chipped everything up and, with their blower, cleaned the area up, including the driveway and side yard. From beginning to end it hardly took two hours. Jake then came in to settle up with me. He charged me exactly what he said he would, and gave me the promised ten percent discount for cash. He'd told me this earlier so I was prepared. Who doesn't like a discount? I enjoy visiting my new bank anyway, so I did just that. My trees, while looking a little bare at the moment, will benefit in the long run from this professional trimming. Jake, a certified arborist for many years (I think he told me twelve) also told me about a possible problem I could have with some pines that I wasn't aware of. He told me how my trees could die in six months if they became infected with this particular insect. I need to contact him again about exactly what to look for. Without his having told me this though, my trees, which I planted over twenty years ago, could disappear that quickly without my even noticing. Bottom line is to contact a several arborist with good reviews, and walk through your yard with them. Then, LISTEN to what they say. It could save your trees! read more

Jake and his team were fantastic! They took out multiple trees on a steep slope, ground down the stumps, trimmed the deadwood out of another tree and made it look alive again, and made sure everything was as clean as possible when they wrapped up. He was great at communicating, checked multiple times before work began to make sure we were on the same page, and went over everything when they were done. And they were extremely respectful of our neighbors' property. I wish we had more trees to cut down so we could hire Jake again! read more

Jake was very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and patient while I got competitive quotes. Jake's quotes were thorough and the final cost reflected the quotes. His team showed up as promised and got the job done quickly and safely. They took down a couple of crispy Aspen trees close to the house. He even gave us a discount to keep some firewood. I'll work with them again for other arbor projects and will definitely recommend them. read more
