Very happy with George and his crew. They are knowledgable and communicative. Nathan and Scott were very solution-oriented and precise, from dump truck maneuvering to tree trimming/pruning. Fine quality arborist chips, too! read more

After receiving several estimates for tree trimming, I chose Northeast Tree Service. They were the most reasonable and professional of all the companies. I'm extremely impressed with their service. Their proposal was prompt and explained exactly what would be done. An Xcel power line ran through the branches, and were dangerously close to the pole. The employees called Xcel for me and made a special trip to haul away the branches left by Xcel. Work was fantastic, George and Lynn were wonderfully easy to work with. Highly recommend this company read more

I am pleased to know that George is an arborist and his company is very reliable, responsive and always is quick to respond and does a great job at a reasonable price. They have don maybe five jobs for us and I am always very pleased. I highly recommend. read more

Do not sign a contract with this company. I had a tree marked by the city for removal. I reviewed the list of approved contractors and Northeast Tree seemed close and no different than the rest of the companies I saw. I had never had to pay for tree removal before, so I didn't know what to expect. I wish I had done more research. I contacted them through their website on June 11th, and within a few days George came out to review the tree. He looked at the tree and lot for about ten minutes and had what he needed. On July 1st, I was sent a contract for the work and signed it. I was told that they were very busy, and they would schedule the tree removal in August. It seemed like a long time to wait, but so far everyone had been friendly, so I went along with it. On July 9th someone from another company knocked on my door. They said they had another job in the neighborhood and they could remove my tree for half the price Northeast Tree had bid. Not only that, but it would be done that Saturday (two days away!). They had insurance and certification at the ready, so I said yes. I contacted George from Northeast Tree and respectfully asked to cancel our contract. The contract didn't list any fees, only that their permission was required to cancel. I assumed that since they hadn't even scheduled the work yet, this wouldn't be a problem. I was very wrong. George's tone changed immediately. He told me that there would be a substantial fee to cancel the contract. I asked him why the fee was so high. He said "The fee is based on a typical profit margin for a job of this size." Not that it represented any time/effort/labor that had gone into the project - but the profit he expected to make from me. For doing nothing. For not even scheduling the work. I asked him why he wouldn't just cancel and his response was "If there were a compelling reason to cancel there would be no charge. Your convenience does not seem a very compelling reason to release you from this contract." I signed a contract, and I honored that contract. I sent in my payment today. My tree was taken down by the other company weeks ago and they did an amazing job. If I had stayed with Northeast Tree, I would still be waiting for them to schedule the work. I still saved well over $1,000 - even after paying their absurd fee and tipping the other contractor an extra $100 for being so amazing. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. read more

First off, I'd like to state that leaving a negative review, especially for a small local business pains me, but I'd be remiss in not bringing to your attention the issues I had with them. First, let me mention the pros: They are very knowledgeable about the variety of trees and tree care and the work they did was good work. Cons: Unfortunately their communication was very poor which led to an overall disappointment of the work done - or rather work NOT done. To detail the issues we had requested on our initial request: Removing dead branches and cut back branches overhanging wires. After having some questions, the owner came out and we did a detailed walk-through of the trees I wanted worked on. Basically, though I felt it was clear in our request and in the walk-through they neglected to follow through with any of the projects I initially hired them for and at now left with a bill for services I didn't necessarily want AND now I need to hire another company to do the actual work I need done. This has now caused delays in the other yard/home projects we had scheduled as the trees were the priority and necessary before the yard work can begin. So it's set us back timing wise and financially. Regrettably I'd have to give them one star of five. read more

What a great experience! I had called multiple other tree companies and was not all that impressed. A neighbor, who had a tree removed from her house last year, recommended Northeast Tree. George came out and gave a very fair price and also taught me a few things in a short period. The crew that came out was also very knowledgeable. Using a bucket to move the worker around, they hand trimmed my large maple and made it exceptionally nice looking. They also took down a dead tree in a tight space. The crew was smart, friendly and cleaned everything up well. Great company I would recommend using them. read more

During a summer storm our silver maple dropped a large limb onto the front of our house. The limb was resting against the upper roof, and the entire tree needed to be removed. After collecting several bids we went with Northeast Tree because their bid was competitive and their customer service seemed pleasant. Unfortunately, things did not go well during the removal. Despite having all the necessary heavy equipment (cranes, cherry picker, etc) they failed to properly secure the limb with ropes during removal from the house and and as a result, while removing the limb with a crane, the limb swung down and damaged our lower porch roof. I watched as this happened. It was apparent that their method of applying ropes to the limb was insufficient. As a result our porch roof was damaged, the wood soffit was cracked and our gutter needed replacement. Upon completion of the job all the workers on the site were packing up and leaving without acknowledging their error! Thankfully I had photos of the areas before and after the removal so I had proof of the damage. While they did try to make this right after the fact, the hassle was not worth it at all. Amateur and inexperienced service resulted in me having to hire a contractor to fix the damage they caused. Can not recommend. read more

They have taken really great care of my Norway Maple over the years with pruning and trimming every few years to advice on care to maintain its health. Very professional service that won't try and "sell you" on things that are not really needed. Thank you again for all of your expertise ! read more
