A few of my neighbors have hired Ron's for multiple services in recent years. Yesterday they were trimming trees at the house next door. They drove their heavy equipment onto our lawn and parked there with the outriggers deployed and started trimming. When my wife went to ask them what they were doing and to be aware we have a sprinkler system and invisible dog fence in the area they were working, they were dismissive. They eventually moved their equipment at her request. When I arrived home and went out to inspect the potential damage to our lawn a crew member came over to apologize for his coworker who "knows better than to drive on neighboring properties without permission". There were at least 6 members on this crew and their website says they all have 10 years experience. So, blaming an uninformed crew member seems more like a canned response. This is clearly a case of ask forgiveness, not permission. While this was the most egregious, it was not an isolated case. They arrive with a fleet of equipment, well beyond what is needed for the job they are doing and essentially take over the neighborhood. Last year they set up their "break area" under our tree tramping back and forth between their trucks and two different work sites. I would not consider any of this as "professional". For a company that has been doing this for 30 years (according to their website), one would expect that basics like knowing property lines or stopping over to ask permission would be normal operating procedure. "Hey is it okay if we drop a few limbs in your yard? We'll be sure to clean up after ourselves". "We'll be working next door, you may want to keep you kids and pets indoors, if that's okay". Nope. Just drive up, unload, and dig in. We expect you to not get in our way. If you want to offend your neighbors, by all means hire Ron's. If you want to be a good neighbor, consider hiring someone else.

Working to take down 4 large trees!

Ron and his crew were absolutely amazing! They were efficient, professional and worked so well together as a team to trim, cut, chip and stump our trees all while cleaning up the entire yard before leaving! We were so impressed and would recommend Ron's Tree Services to everyone!

Will not use Ron's for firewood. Did not get an honest full face cord. Should have measured it before they left.

We have received some of the best firewood from these guys in town! They delivered and stacked the…read morewood quickly and efficiently. Super nice and friendly to work with! This year we had them come back and remove a tree for us. Prices were reasonable and they even cleaned up everything. Awesome job! Would totally recommend to friends and family!

*****UPDATE****** we called another company to deliver wood...the person who brought the wood this…read moretime filled up the SAME EXACT SPACE that Holtz filled up for me, however Holtz charged $250 for an ENTIRE cord, whereas the new company charged $120 for a "face" or "fire place" cord. They filled up the exact same space people!!!! Holtz was trying to charge me for a full cord of "clean, dry, treated" wood when they were giving me half that which was dirty, wet, and molded. NOTICE - I left my review.....then shortly after there are 2 more five star reviews that address the exact trouble we had with them...sounds pretty SCAMY if you ask me. But who am I? Just a sucker who almost fell for it. The new company is wonderful - message me for the contact!!! We ordered a cord of firewood from Holtz. He was prompt in responding to me and seemed friendly. I called on a Friday and he said he could have someone there to drop off and stack the wood on Monday. I also asked that he take a look at a tree in my front yard that needed to be trimmed. He called Sunday and left a message saying the delivery would take place between 8a-10a and he would take a look at the tree. The delivery drive was about 15mins last 10a, but that was no big problem because I am a SAHM. However if I had taken the morning off work to be home, even 15 mins late could be a big problem. The full cord cost $250. According to their website and from speaking with them in the phone, the wood would be a mix of "clean, dry, treated hardwoods." However instead, we got wood that was wet - damp to the touch and releasing water from ends in the fireplace - extremely dirty, growing mushrooms....I have included pictures and video. I called them to speak to someone and the man went from being friendly to extremely rude in about 2sec flat. I hung up on him because I wasn't going to listen to him try to defend his crappy product. He called me back and left a message saying he had no idea how I could have gotten that type of wood because they don't sell anything but what their website states. Sent him the same pics and videos I'm posting here. He had nothing to say except "I've done this a lot of years and I don't sell that kind of wood".......except he did. I had him come back and take his crappy product away and give me money back. I'll let you all be the judge from my pics.....but my advice - SHOP ELSEWHERE!!!!!

I live in Southern California. My 93 year old aunt/godmother lives in New Hope, MN. My cousin,…read morewho cares for my aunt called me last night not knowing what to do about a large tree branch that fell in the yard. My father, who would help my aunt with a lot of household stuff passed away 5 years ago. So, my cousin reached out to me asking what to do. I found Family Tree Service searching Google. Called Travis and explained what we needed done. He got back to me quickly with a very reasonable estimate and took care of the problem within a few hours of the call same-day. My Cousin also had questions about some other tree issues in the yard. Travis made some recommendations as to how to proceed and offered to help if needed. My cousin said Travis could not have been more pleasant to work with. If my aunt needs tree/lawncare help in the future, Travis and Family Tree Service will definitely be my go to.

Very nice doing business with arborist Travis from Family Tree Services! Sent photos of what I…read moreneeded and he provided a quote range, which was on point when he got there to see in person. I was hoping to remove limb above neighbors side of fence to clear some space over their yard, as well as trim the tree away from the house. Once he got there Travis was kind enough to explain that cutting the limb away would likely hollow that bit out and that I'd probably get the desired result by simply trimming away the branches growing downwards along there. He also mentioned that he could do that and if I wanted more done could always do that after I saw it and decide from there. Very pleased with the results, both of clearing a nice patch away from neighbors side and of trimming back away from the house. Will be using him again!
