They came when they said they'd come, worked hard until the job was done, and ensured all the mess was cleaned up before they left. Our job had some particular challenges to bring down the large remaining tree. I was skeptical it could be done without a crane but they meticulously planned and executed every cut. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Bryan is a great guy and very good at his craft. Give him a call for all your tree service needs.read more

They did not tell me. I happened to find the limb in the swamp behind the workshop and that caused me to go look at the tree where I saw they left the branch severed. They should have told me and trimmed up the branch. Leaving a tree in this condition if not good for the tree. So they've proved to me they don't know what tree preservation is.

Several months ago, I saw Alex working over on Mendum Street near the Arnold Aboretum. I was very…read moreimpressed with his climbing ability. He clearly was a very capable arborist. I contacted him to trim a red oak that was in my backyard (I live over on Leland Road near West Roxbury) Alex and his partner Megan did a fantastic job on the tree. He is very sympathetic to the overall heath of trees and cut back sections that would take off some of the weight on the side towards my house. He explained that doing more would stress the tree. He is very open and conversant about the job and really takes the time to explain all aspects of the work. Excellent work ethic ..... I recommend him fully. Alan Leland Road West Roxbury

Matt is AWESOME!!! called Matt at 7:50pm for an emergency tree service and he was at my house…read morewithin the hour to look at the work- I'm sure he heard the panic in my voice. He arrived at my house, introduced himself and immediately went to take a look at the huge fallen branch in my yard to ease my stress. We discussed the work that needed to be done and he gave me a very fair price, he even said he'd help me clear the rest of the broken branches that had nothing to do with the work he was there for. I told him that I wouldn't be around the following day, but would still like the work done before Sunday since we were expecting snow. He came as promised that Saturday afternoon and worked in the rain. I think he didn't want to bother me as he knew I was in class, so he texted me when the work was complete with photos of the job. I really appreciated his prompt responses, work, and professionalism. He contacted me a few days later just to make sure that I was happy with the work and I thought very highly of that since not many contractors follow up with their customers once the work is complete. Just looking at other reviews, it sounds like he does snow removal too, but definitely call him if you have tree needs! Great work, local, fair pricing, and super professional.

My GF and I work professional jobs and it is not always easy to get time off. Today I was told that Al would come by. I was given a 30 minute notice call and I was sitting at my table working when he "came by" Now he claims to have knocked and rung the door bell. However the house next door is having roofing done so all you can hear is banging anyhow. For whatever reason he didn't call to verify people were home, he just left stating to get someone else. There are three cars in the driveway. I took time out of my day. So following my GF getting the text we called and were told Al was aggravated and he's not coming back. We have a tree that is cracked and leaning, we are going to get the tree cut one way or another. It is amazing to me to see a company actively push away prospective clients. I get that the owner was frustrated over a perceived miscommunication. I can tell you what I would do. If my prospective customer is not there, or appears to not be there I would call to let them know I am at the door. I spoke with a woman on the phone coordinating this, so they know someone is here and available... why not follow up if no one answers? All I can say is situational awareness and perspective matter. You saw and heard the construction next door, you saw the cars, would a simple text message hurt? I get that mix ups happen, but the ego you have to have if a customer immediately reaches out to clarify the confusion and you throw a temper tantrum. It is because of this I am writing this review. Something that squarely sits on the owners shoulders. So now I will have Newcomb come out instead, they at least show professional courtesy. You are not the only one who's time was inconvenienced. So if you are looking for a company that will be professional, look elsewhere this owner has a chip on his shoulder.
