One of Compete Tree Care's competitors quoted us 3x the amount to remove the tree and they were not willing to grind the roots afterward because the equipment was "too big to get through our fence's gate." William went the extra distance and got the root grinder into our yard despite the challenge and did exactly what we wanted. Thank you for the great job! We're very happy with the work, the service, and the cost.

William Sorgen is not an ISA Certified Arborist, despite what the Complete Tree Care website says…read more Complete Tree Care is owned and licensed by William Sorgen. His website includes the logo of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), making it appear that he is an ISA Certified Arborist. You can verify the ISA credential on their website. On the same site, you can find actual ISA Certified Arborists in Whatcom County. Obviously hiring someone with this certification is no guarantee that you will have a good experience. But if you're searching for someone to work with, finding someone that represents themselves honestly is probably a good place to start.

Solstice did some tree maintenance/chipping in our yard this spring. They were prompt and…read morecommunicated well as we talked back and forth about what we wanted done. They showed as much care as we would have wished for how we wanted things done. They cleaned up and left us a great pile of chips too (our request--they'll haul it away if you don't want it). They aren't your regular chop and run yard crew. They take the time to work with you so you get what you want. I highly recommend Solstice.

Highly recommended! From the initial free estimate all the…read moreway through to completing the task, John was professional, respectful, and efficient. Even though this was not a big job, he treated it seriously. The main task was to prune 2 ornamental plums (older than 10 yrs), esp to trim branches away from overhead wires and clean up the inside branches a bit. I had my own ideas of what was needed. John talked me through it & made well-informed suggestions about shaping the trees over time. We quickly came to an agreed plan. I then asked him to add on 2 single tasks: removal of a dead tree next to a privacy fence, and sucker pruning for an elder apple tree. His technical knowledge about plant species, their growth habits and use in landscaping helped a lot. Although I don't know a lot about ornamentals and landscaping, I do have degrees in plant science and horticulture. I recognized his technical expertise, and was glad he was able to talk with me so easily. On the business side, John gave me a written estimate at the end of his first assessment visit. For the actual work, John came at the time promised and finished the work - including clean up - in half a day. The charges were well within the estimate. No muss, no fuss. I highly recommend Mossback Arboriculture, and would call them for help again. I wish I had taken before and after photos to share!

I hired Earthwork Tree Services because I was afraid of a large, rotten maple near my home. I have…read moreleft home when high winds threatened, and I wanted my family to be able to sleep in their own beds without that fear. My card has now been charged $2,275, and the maple is still standing. I want to be clear: I am not blaming the hardworking crew who showed up. They were skilled tradesmen, treated me well, and repeatedly confirmed that getting this dangerous maple down was the right call. I trusted them and would work with them again. My concern is with management's responsibility to make clear commitments, organize the work, and resolve an unfinished job. The maple was the reason I called. The company recommended removing two additional trees they considered questionable. I trusted their professional judgment and understood from our conversation that their bid for a day's work would cover what we discussed. They removed those additional trees and cut some branches off the maple, but never finished taking it down. Had the maple been removed first and the additional trees left for another day, I would not have this complaint. Instead, the suggested additions were completed while my original safety concern remained. It's like hiring someone to fix a leaking roof, accepting their recommendation for new gutters, and being left with new gutters while the roof still leaks. The workers may have done good work, but the company still hasn't resolved the problem you hired it to fix. They had my credit card on file and processed the $2,275 payment while the maple remained unfinished. I called to discuss it, but that concern was not resolved before the charge went through. I was then told it would cost another $2,275 to return and finish--a total of $4,550. When I questioned that cost, I was given another company's phone number. I couldn't comfortably afford the first payment outright. I relied on credit because addressing this danger mattered to my family. Now I'm paying that charge off, still facing hotel stays when high winds threaten, and being asked to find another full day's payment. I acknowledge the work that was completed. I'm asking management to acknowledge what wasn't: the original reason I hired them. Running a trustworthy company means taking responsibility when a customer's main concern is left unresolved. The crew cannot settle this billing dispute or decide whether the company returns without another charge. That needs to come from the owner. Please contact me and arrange a date to finish removing the maple without an additional charge. I would welcome the chance to update this review and say management listened and made things right. I trusted your company to help protect my home and family. I'm asking you to follow through.
