Tree Stump Removal
Very professional in a business like manner. Chris was attentive with decision making and on key point on removing 2 large dead trees and over some 50 stumps. The clean up was complete upon job completion. Overall it took 2 cold days, but they got the job finished and left the property manageable. We'll be bringing him back in the spring of 2020.

Tree Trimming
After some frustrating delays for both of us (street repairs, mechanical breakdowns, bad weather) Chris and his crew were able to come out and remove two mature dead Norway Spruce, thin out two Silver Maples, and grind three stumps. I am pleased with the work they did, and appreciated that they warned me in advance that some of my landscaping might be damaged because of the difficulty in reaching the two spruce trees. So happy to have it all done!

Very friendly, professional, knowledgeable honest. Removed 7 large and 2 small trees including stump grinding. Also limbed up two large trees and did structural pruning on others. Did a great job working around existing landscaping which was tight. The price for the work was very good. I will be calling them in the future for additional work. Very please!

The work crew worked quickly and tirelessly, especially in removing the tree stump afterwards, and left the yard clean.

Chris and Black Bear were awesome. They came out in the morning, assessed damages and were able to clear everything out that same afternoon. They paid extra care in moving the tree and their equipment across my lawn and they didn’t damage anything. Great work, highly recommended.

They replied to our request within a few hours. They were prompt on the day of service and worked quickly and efficiently. Plan to hire again.

Chris was great to work with. For people looking to have a hands on approach to landscaping, Chris and Black Bear is the service to contract. He still owes me a Black Bear t-shirt.

Chris did a great job getting my landscape issues diagnosed and repaired. Cleaned up the work site as soon as the job was finished. He showed up on time, did exactly what he said he would do and did it sooner than the time frame we originally had talked about. I would recommend Chris and his crew to anyone that needs work done.

Chris is easy to work with, was able to take down my trees before the ground thawed to minimize damage to my lawn, and did for a really good price.

Suggested good ideas for solving water pooling and yard decotration problems. Implemented quickly. Too soon to tell how they work and last over the long term.

Chris called me back within 24 hours and gave me an appointment for an estimate. He gave me a fair price to cut down a very large maple tree. He was very professional and easy to work with. The yard was cleaned up after the removal. I would highly recommend Chris - he was on time, fair price, and a fantastic young man to work with.

This company took 11 months and did not complete the project it started. Thankfully I received a partial refund.
Response from Marion Landscapes & Tree Service
"This situation was very complex due to access to the property. I was in communication with this homeowner and there were a number of factors that contributed to this situation. This is not how we do business and is not a correct representation of how we operate."

Chris was a good guy to work with. We had a number of delays but finally got the tree down. Did great work bringing down a pretty big tree over two houses.

Chris and crew did a great job filling, grading, and seeding along side my new driveway. Easy to work with; friendly, fast, efficient service. I would certainly hire them again.
