Ben says: "The owner, Tim Eversol, abandoned a job on Mohawk after being paid to complete it. He dodged calls from me for over a year. The residents had to pay an additional $1000 to have the work completed by somebody else. I referred him over $10000 worth of good work that year and he fell short after he was paid on the last two and NEVER made it right."

June says: "Treeo completed the removal of my trees today. I was extremely pleased with them! They arrived when they said they would, were polite and professional and communicated well with me. They were very focused on safety, cleaned up the area afterward and their bid was by far the most reasonable. I cannot think of anything negative to say about them. Their office staff was easy to talk with and professional also. I give them straight A's!"

Tina says: "We used Treeo Tree Service for pruning and stump removal.
1. Hassle free estimate; response to my email estimate request was within 24 hours estimates@treeotreeservice.com.
2. They have specialty crews; the crew doing the pruning was not the same crew that did stump removal.
3. Estimate was mid-range. There is a $200.00 minimum for pruning service call
The only negative experience with Treeo was the billing dept; I did have to call to them requesting the bill 3 weeks after the job was complete."

Not all tree service companies are the same. Make sure you hire a company that will be able to professionally handle your specific tree care needs. If you are simply contacting a company to remove a dead or unsightly tree, you must make sure that they are bonded and insured and that they will remove every last piece of debris left over from the tree. Removal should be safe and efficient, but does not necessarily require the same knowledge as caring for live trees.

When selecting a tree service company to care for live trees, including removal of dead limbs, selective pruning and topping, hire a licensed contractor who is also an arborist. An arborist has specific knowledge of the care of different types of trees. If you hire a company or individual who does not have this knowledge, he or she could inadvertently butcher your trees, causing them to grow unshapely or even to become diseased or die.

A quality tree service company will not only be licensed and bonded and employ arborists, but they will also offer free estimates with quotes. Before hiring a contractor to perform work, it s best to attain at least two, if not three, estimates from reputable companies. Comparing the estimated cost with the work to be performed will help you choose the right company. Having three estimates lets you know who's on target with price and will make you feel more comfortable about what you re paying for. Be sure that complete clean up and removal is included in the estimate s work to be performed.
