I have two large Fir trees in my front yard and five Hawthorne Maple trees on my side yard. I hired Timber Tree Service to prune and thin them. I was extremely happy with the work they performed. This was a huge job and there were so many workers on the ground and up the trees. They did a great job, cleaned up after themselves and did not damage anything. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them. This is the third time I’ve had my trees trimmed since I’ve lived in this house and I think the amount they charged was very reasonable.
They were able to come out and provide a quote very promptly and the gentleman that came by was quite friendly and very informative. The scheduling process after the quote, however, was frustrating. It took several weeks, and multiple calls from me, to even hear back about scheduling. At the end of it, I was simply provided a day without any discussion about what would work on my end. I had also asked the scheduler to not communicate via email, but that was ignored, which wasn't the end of the world, but added to the scheduling frustration. The day of was OK for the most part. One of the clean up crew took apart pieces of my back garden and started hauling them off, fortunately able to stop him before they made it to the chipper. ( I use logs to create pathways/ barriers.) That same person later broke a tree while trying to remove a cut branch. ( the tree that was broken was not healthy and not part of the job. ) I was impressed when he laid in the grass and vaped though... I can't speak to the quality of work done as I don't have any comparison. I'm leaving a picture of the " after" of a full grown hazelnut tree that was too big, but provided a good "neighbor buffer". It was definitely hacked down aggressively and left pretty quirky. Not exactly what I had in mind, but maybe this is normal. So you can judge for yourself.
I had a great experience working with Urban Timber. After 4+ quotes from different companies, Urban Timber had the best price and delivered value for the service they provided. Duncan did my assessment and he was honest and straightforward about what I needed to make the best decision for my tree and property. I didn’t feel pressured to make a decision, and he provided me with more information than other arborists so that I could make a good choice. The crew who showed up did excellent work on the tree. They were meticulous in every part of the job and left zero mess for me or my neighbor to worry about! They even grabbed some old branches that fell onto the roof years ago, which they could have just left since it wasn’t due to their work. Overall, it was great working with this company. I will be referring them to anyone in my area who needs tree work done, and I will be using them for my next trim as well! Thank you Urban Timber!!
I was very happy with the knowledgeable team that came out to trim my trees. They knew exactly what needed to be done, especially around my power lines . The trees will be much healthier now without the dead limbs, and the area around them is safer as well
Urban timber removed a huge maple tree that was dying on the sidewalk strip in front of my house. The skilled crew took down the tree carefully.(Being mindful of my property, as well as the neighbor’s). Everybody worked hard and got it done in two days. They accomplished everything that I asked for, as well as keeping things tidy (even blowing off dust and chips during the process). A very friendly crew that I would recommend without reservation. As happy as I can be, considering the city should help pay for part of tree removals when needed.
