After nearly 50 years of hiring tree services in one state or another, I can say without hesitation…read morethat 'Blake's Tree Service is in a league of its own."
From the very beginning, Marcelle set the tone. He came out for our consultation and estimate, and before he left, we already had that wonderfully reassuring feeling that we had found an exceptional company. Knowledgeable, professional, personable, straightforward--he "sold" us not with a sales pitch, but simply by the way he represented the company.
Then there's Hanna, who seems to have turned communication into an art form. Scheduling, coordination, follow-up, billing--every detail was handled promptly, clearly, and graciously. At no point were we left wondering what was happening or what came next. That kind of communication is increasingly rare, and we appreciated it enormously.
And the three-man crew? Superlatives all the way around. Their work was excellent, but what impressed us just as much was 'how' they worked. They were extraordinarily mindful of our property, careful and safe throughout the job, and remarkably clean and tidy. When they were finished, there was virtually no evidence that a tree crew had been there--other than, of course, that everything we hired them to do had been done beautifully.
Finally, Blake himself. I've never met him in person; I only know him by his voice on the phone. But sometimes that's enough. Genuine, caring, sincere, personable, and unmistakably service-oriented. Within a few minutes of talking with him, I understood why the company bearing his name operates the way it does.
And then came one final surprise: the price. Given the quality of the people, the work, and the overall experience, we were genuinely stunned by how reasonable their pricing was.
I have used tree services for nearly half a century, and I cannot recall one I would place in the same category as Blake's Tree Service. Hands down, the best experience we've ever had.
As long as we're Idahoans and there are trees that need attention, Blake's Tree Service will be the only call we make.
Five stars--and then some.
