Upstate Tree and Excavation gave me a quote to bury a culvert and set up a drain system for a new…read morelawn area. They were quick to arrive, kept two appointments digging the channel and burying the culvert. Rather than get a third culvert, they advised that too much erosion below would result, and that instead they would bring in a load of rock to cover with soil to complete the task. That was in May. They took payment for the whole job at that time, even though it wasn't complete. After a couple of exchanged texts and brief replies over the summer like "of course we'll come back", they have now blocked me from sending text messages to their number and have evidently decided to keep the money for the remainder of the project and not return? It has now been over two months since they promised they would return. They did good work with the initial part of the project and were a pleasure to work with. I did not frequently text them, I'm not sure what happened, but they did not finish my project and the kept the remainder of the funds.

This is a two part testimonial for Northern Tree Service, the first time I needed their service in…read moreMarch of 2020 I had a large maple tree come down on my house. I reached out to John and he was here that afternoon to access the fallen tree and how best to get it off of my house. He gave me a price to remove the entire tree, haul away all of debris and grind out the stump. Mind you this tree was every bit of 6' at the base and was not a small task. The very next day John and his crew were at my house clearing the tree that was against the structure taking every measure not to do any further damage. Once that was done they proceeded to take the rest of the tree down taking every precaution to minimize damage to my yard. Once the tree was down and removed they ground out the stump, raked up and left as little impact as they possibly could considering the scope of the job. A month later I had the misfortune of finding a huge crack in in a 120' tall pine tree that looked to be ready to let go at any moment and that too would have made a direct hit on my home. I called John and he was at my house that very same day to look at the job. He secured the tree with straps at the cracked portion and assured me he would rearrange his schedule and get here that Saturday to start the removal of the tree as this was a priority. Well John and his crew did NOT show up on Saturday, they showed up earlier on Friday because we were due for a storm on Saturday and John did not want to leave it to chance for that tree to come down. He climbed that tree and limbed it off to reduce the exposure it would have during the storm. He returned that Sunday with his crew and proceeded to take the rest of the tree down, chipped it up and when they left at the end of the day you couldn't ask for a neater job. If you need a tree removed this is with-out a doubt the most professional, on time, reactive company out there that will do a quality job and you will get the best value for your money and I am willing to put my name to this testimonial.

He returned several weeks later to do the pruning - probably the tree's first in over 50 years. The tree is now much lighter and looks great - cant wait for this year's crop of apples! Jerry is extremely personable and very thoughtful. During his two visits he provided very helpful information about tree care. Also Jerry and his colleague (oops, cant remember his name) did a terrific job of cleaning up. I also appreciated that New Leaf kept me updated about my appointment date and the time of arrival. Highly recommend.

The project involved taking 10 large trees down from around the house and pool area. We were amazed at how neat they were at the end of each day, as well as the brisk pace they were able to work. Professional tree services can be costly, but we feel that we were treated very fairly, and based on our knowledge of other area tree services, New Leaf is a tremendous value. Very professional and friendly staff. We strongly recommend this company and will be using them again in the future. James and Gina Armstrong

He never followed up, never provided bond or insurance information. Simply ghosted. Not a sign of a good professional. His memory of the event is laughable. We don't even have a garage. Do not do business with this company. Demand proof / certificate of insurance and bond PRIOR to doing business with him if you are foolish enough to do so. And if he brings along any so called subcontractors or friends be very wary. They will vandalize your home and property. ------- I would prefer to give 0 stars but I'm forced to give one. Used them once three years ago. Brought along a friend of his who wanted to try and sell the wood. The friend left a machine behind and left the bucket of the machine digging into our blacktop, which started to rip as a result. We had to move the machine because it was left on our property for days. The "friend" of Jerred's came back, demanded payment because his machine had simply been moved, and when we refused, he took a pin out of another machine that didn't belong to us that was on the back of our property. Be careful who you hire. That pin cost almost $500 to replace. Never heard back from Jerred. Definitely not worth the trouble. Find someone who actually can prove they're insured, and don't let them bring "friends"m
