I had several companies come out and give me an estimate for my live oak tree that was damaged by…read morethe terrible wind storm we had. I have what's called included bark where two trucks have grown together and split apart from each other. After doing some research this job shouldn't cost more than it does to cut the tree down. Involves cleaning up the canopy of dead branches or sucker branches to allow more airflow through and then cabling about 3 trunks together to prevent them from swaying in the wind. The first estimate only wanted to cut my tree down which is not what I wanted. I want to save the tree. He quoted $3100 to completely remove the tree. The next two quotes to cable and rod the tree was $4500 and $4000. Again they wanted more to do this than to actually cut the tree down. Which my first estimate to cut the tree down was my baseline price. My son-in-law recommended Mitch Drake so I gave them a call and he quoted me $2500 to complete the job. Now we're finally below that baseline of $3100 I was looking for. He told me during the estimate they were several weeks out from doing the job. Finally I got a call they were coming on a specific day which was acceptable. Talking about a crew, there was about eight of them on the job. Between trimmers, clean up crew as the limbs dropped and another that climbed the tree and another that cabled the tree. They have a lot of equipment with them between a bucket lift, Bobtail, and a massive chipper with a high box truck that captured all the wood chips. Very impressive operation. They recommend several limbs to be removed to take some weight off to prevent further splitting. They cleaned up everything when the job was done. Very very satisfied with their work. Highly recommend them.

Emert's guys just left and I can't tell you how happy I was with their service. They arrived…read morepromptly for both the estimate and service, were respectful of my property and did a fantastic job. They even left my yard and patio cleaner than it was when they arrived! I needed a huge maple tree limbed up , a medium sized tree removed, and two stumps ground down. When they got done with the stumps, you could walk right over the spot and not detect that a tree had ever lived there before. The tree limbs (other than the ones we requested to remain) were whisked away. I also found the price extremely reasonable for all the work accomplished. I was not surprised though. It was about 7 years ago when I needed my older maple tree removed. Co-workers recommended Emerts and after seeing the conscientious job they did back then, put their contact in my address book. They again made me extremely pleased with their work.

Had storm damage today where a large Oak tree was blown over onto my house. I called Costello's…read moreTree Service about 6:00pm. Bill Costello was in my driveway at 7:00pm, and had the tree removed from my house and on the ground by 8:00pm! With NO damage to the house, which shocked me. I thought for sure that tree was gonna be problematic. But nope, Bill just surveyed the problem and went straight to work. Fast, efficient, and professional! And the price was much more reasonable than I was expecting. Especially so late on a Saturday. I know who I'll call in the future when I have tree issues!!! Thanks Bill!

I will update review based on Evan's feedback:…read more Fair point by Evan maybe the stump grinding was a miscommunication during discussion. I will assume some responsibility as the customer and increase the stars rating because this was a verbal quote and we should have asked for written documentation before the job started. Additionally, not sure about any "trade" or free service rendered in exchange for not putting the fence back because of vines. When I reached out no one said oh there was an agreement or we spoke to your wife and informed her we weren't putting that back. We were just told someone will be out there to fix it. i was never notified of a check issue or that there was an issue with any payment. I never heard anything actually so I can only assume you were fully paid there wasn't an issue. Also my wife was told she could pay by card during the quote (which was the plan) but at the end was then told no she must pay by check so she had to scramble to find checks. In the end: We did get three large trees cut down as asked. You will get the service you paid for, trees cut down and removed. I would just ensure any quote is written and documented so there aren't any miscommunications in what is expected at the end of the job. That becomes text back and forth and phone calls after they leave the job site. Communication-Communication-Communication would seem to be the largest issue here.
