I put my job - major trim on four trees, and two trees to remove - out for bids via yelp/projects…read moreand have been very happy with the results. I had seven responses within a day. Joe at Earthworks was the first to respond. I had four outfits visit the job site and provide quotes. Joe's quote came in right in the middle of the pack, and he could schedule me the next week. And he very much seemed to be on the same page for what I was trying to accomplish. He and his crew just departed. They showed up on time, and took the time estimated. They were very careful around my landscaping, and did a great job of the tree work. They have completely cleaned up and left my yard in great shape. My front garden now will get the light it needs, and bigger than that, I now have a year round view of the Blue Ridge from my front porch. I'm very happy with their work, and believe I received very good value for the cost. Very highly recommended.

They set right to work with one guy climbing and cutting limbs and the other two making the limbs smaller so that I could carry them. They know I am a single mom and would need the pieces small so I can carry them to my fire pit. The tree that stood dead 50 ft tall was down in 30 mins and cut into pieces within the hour after. Fast service and great prices! I was charged $300 to remove this tree! Highly recommend them!

Instead of addressing the tree that snapped, he immediately went to removing other trees so that the bill would come to $5000. The snapped tree he said would be $450.

I had time to write this while I waited (for the second time) for an agreed on time and date for an estimate, for which this single working parent took off work for (again). After two no shows without a call or text to explain or apologize, despite requesting I send my address and the date and time we agreed on via a text to them, I can't possibly recommend. I tried the first time in June 2023. Tried again a little over a year later due to all of the on recommendations and good reviews and wanted to hire a local company, and figured I'd give the first time as a fluke or mistake. Both tries, I spoke with them on the phone the week of the agreed time and date for estimates for fairly large residential work, but being stood up twice is inexcusable.
