I'm surprised I've never written a review for Doug's Tree Service. This is a company that I expect is driven entirely by repeat and referral business. Since I was once in the tough spot of finding a tree service I could trust, I thought it well past time to post a review. I ended up with Doug's through a referral many years ago.
We've used Doug's Tree Service for about a decade to trim some large trees in our yard. Some years it is a big project and other years it is fairly small ... tiny even. The great thing about Doug and crew is regardless of how large the project:
1- Bids are fair and reasonable (lower than most, but it has been years since we checked other tree services due to the excellent work Doug's crews do)
2- Work is scheduled and done on time. Doug's is usually booked out multiple months, but they are well worth the wait.
3- Quality of the work they do is outstanding including thorough cleanup
I suspect Doug's Tree Service has a massive repeat clientele. The only way to really get ahold of them is to leave voice mail. If you are just calling to get a bid and Doug's is one of a bunch of companies you're contacted, they will filter you out by simply just not replying. If you seriously want their excellent work, be patient and even perhaps tell a bit of a fib about being a return customer. Doug asks that in his voice mail prompt ... I suspect ... to just weed out the "lookers."
BTW -- watching Doug's crews up 60' to 80' in trees climbing around cutting off large branches and lowering them down with a rope and pulley is pure entertainment. I could not do it! read more
