"It went very quickly and efficiently. The men conferred how to keep the tree healthiest with the trimming, and were fun and gracious. I'd hire them again in an instant."

"We had a Canadian Cherry tree that had been infested with Black Knot disease and was more than ready to come down. It was right next to our deck (and a power line) and inside our 6 ft high wooden backyard fence. One of the crew did a remarkable job of cutting it down alone by climbing. We also had a Green Ash tree infested with Emerald Ash Borer in our back yard, near our fence. The owner, Vitaliy Savchenko, stood on a platform lift to expertly cut down most of the Ash tree. A crew member finished off the trunk at ground level. Another crew member carefully ground out the Ash stump and filled in the hole. We were relieved that their stump grinding machine fit through our gate opening width of 40 inches. Our fears of any damage to our fence and/or deck turned out to be groundless because absolutely nothing was harmed, including the Yew bush (surrounding the Cherry tree), other bushes in the yard, etc. - branches were expertly dropped where they did no harm. The crew who cleaned up branches did an excellent job. At our request, they left the Cherry stump, which we can use as a stand for a bird bath or plant. We requested a 2" thick slice of each of the trunks, as a remembrance. All of this was of much interest to our neighbors, one of whom requested a large Mulberry tree (growing right next to the house and amid power and telephone lines) to be removed and Vitaliy took the opportunity of having the platform lift there to go over and take care of that for him. Our neighbor was pleased with the work and the cost (about $1000 - included stump removal). In our front yard, Vitaliy trimmed our Apple tree and some of our Sugar Maple tree from the ground. Then, a crew member used the platform lift to trim higher on the tree (we wanted no branches near the roof and a few others trimmed). 30 ft Canadian Cherry tree removal - $680. 35 ft Green Ash tree removal - $980. Green Ash tree stump - grind and remove - $250. Apple tree trimming - $50. 40 ft Sugar Maple tree trimming - $300 (10% senior discount on total bill = $226) - final cost for Sugar Maple was $74. Tax: $146.45. Total: $2,180.45. We were very pleased with this price. Had 3 other estimates - 2 considerably higher. One lower but we were more impressed with Vitaliy's expertise. We made our initial telephone inquiries on Tuesday, March 2 to four Angie's List tree companies. Vitaliy responded with an in-person estimate visit with us on Wednesday, March 3 (not all companies meet with you for the estimate). The work was completed on Monday, March 8, scheduled for 8:00 a.m. (arrival was about 7:50 a.m.) and all was completed before noon. He and his whole crew worked extremely efficiently and expertly. Vitaliy has put together a great team. We miss our trees but they had to come down and we couldn't be happier with our choice of Arbor Barber."

"Expert tree was very thorough and professional from the start. They put together a detailed bid and project proposal, they cut down the overgrown trees and trimmed what needed trimming. I highly recommend them!"

"They cut off all of the branches that hung over my house and the dead branches. The salesman told me which branches should be removed, the man that cut them decided one of the branches that should have been cut off, shouldn't be because it looked better. That was in the fall, now that it's summer and the leaves are on the trees, that branch is hitting the boulevard tree. That was the reason it should have been cut off."

"I called Jim from this company after reviewing other companies on Angies List doing the same work.  Quotes for the stumping included removal of the tree remains and without their removal.  I decided to do the removal myself to save money and had 14 bags of tree shred to bag and remove (next time I will pay to have that done!). His quote was right in the ballpark with the stumping and said he could come out the same day of my call which worked out great, better than the other quotes. 

He arrived right on time same day and said he would honor the quote even though we found that the stump and roots would be extending way further than I thought they went.  He has a stumper that is worth watching work (from a distance!).  He was able to contain the remains from flying all over the yard and he took a reasonable amount of time to complete the work.  I was surprised how much there was to a tree and he stumped it down enough so now I can plant grass with no problem.  

We spoke after about the job and he insisted on honoring his original quote even though there was more work to do than I thought.  I told Jim I was an Angies List member and he said he would appreciate a review which I am quite happy to do.   "

"Steve and his crew did a wonderful job trimming trees and removing small invasive trees. His communication was fast and professional. Pricing was reasonable. Steve and all of his crew made sure I was satisfied with their work which I was. I'm thrilled with the results of their work being able to see more of my pond and getting ready to plant native plants."

"they did my sister so i hired them to trim 2 ash trees they did a great good cleaned up really good. and were very honest
"

"They did an absolute outstanding job. They were professional. The removal of the trees was done with great care. They removed other branches from my yard. Nothing was out of place when they left. I couldn't recommend them more."

"It went great. This was a challenging job and Arbor Barber was up to the task. The tree was between the house and garage with very limited room to work. The stump of the tree that was removed was four feet across. The job required power be cut to my home and my neighbor's home. Arbor Barber handled all of the details and the interruption was minimal."

"Tony built a beautiful limestone wall into a hill at the front of our property. The aesthetic is as good or better than we imagined. He is a kind person to work with and we would hire him again! In fact, he will be coming back in the spring to add new shrubs and grass."
