The crew were excellent and did a great job. Easy to deal with, and cleaned everything up really well. Highly recommend
First rate company….friendly, knowledgeable, prompt and customer focused! Highly recommended!
Did a terrific job clearing branches from our front deck and roof line.
Took care of our twisted willow tree and was able to smooth out any communication details
John and his team went out of their way to make sure we were happy with their work.
The John the Arborist crew was so nice and hardworking. They kept you in the loop the whole day and did a wonderful job. I would definitely hire them again.
The crew that came out were great! They were professional and did a great job. I would recommend them to any one.
Our maple tree is part of the family so it was important to us that it was handled with knowledgeable and caring hands when it came to trimming and shaping after 17 years. We found exactly what we were looking for with John the Arborist and his team. We are very happy with the results and the communication throughout. Definitely recommend.
We were able to get a quote and then have John and his team come out within the next few days to trim a tree that was growing into the neighbor’s backyard. Excellent and quick work!
They did a great job of preserving our century old trees while protecting our house. If you didn’t see the trees before their work you would have a hard time telling that the took masses of branches out. Very satisfied
The crew was very courteous and did a great job pruning the top of the trees as requested and cleaning up afterward.
John and his crew have done work for us in 2024 and again this year. They are easy to work with, and go a great job trimming and removing trees and shrubs that have grown too large without damaging other nearby plants. I love having a pile of wood chips to spread in the garden, too, when they are done.
Great and friendly service. Job well done.
It was very difficult pruning 3 stems out of 5 for the health of our western red cedar and for the safety of our house and our neighbors. It was done very professionally and with no damage to our shrubs. I will call them again if I need future work done.
The team was on time, did a beautiful job, and cleaned up perfectly! Very professional business! I'll be hiring them to manicure my fruit trees this winter. Highly recommend!
Very professional, fast and efficient. Arrived on time and communication was excellent. I would highly recommend this company!
Fabulous experience start to finish! Highly recommend John and his team!
Excellent work. The young men were cordial, competent, and easy to communicate with. John, too, was friendly and professional.
Very personable and competent young men. Great to work with. They let me watch and followed my instructions—and let me change my mind. Left the area clean and neat.
Efficient, knowledgeable, easy, easy to work with. We were very pleased with the outcome. Would highly recommend.
We had an old leaning pine tree and had them remove large heavy limbs that were over our shop roof. They did a great job climbing, cutting and lowering the pieces by rope. We also had the arborist reduce flowering cherry trees that were overgrown and completely removed another that was in a bad spot. They also…
The team was professional, knowledgeable and took all the right safety measures. They were in and out without leaving a mess and we were happy with their work.
I highly recommend John the Arborist. The crew did a great job--more than I expected--for an excellent price.
The guys did a great job. Very professional. I would recommend for sure.
Thank you. The work enhances the entire yard. Great crew too!
Very impressed with your team from the quick response to my inquiry, to Johns visit to review what was needed, to Tim and his crew that showed up on time and did a great job. I loved that the equipment used for trimming was all electric and quiet.
Very good job.
John and his crew did a great job, left the site neat and worked around landscaping carefully.
Always a great job and good communication!
Everything went as planned.
The young men who pruned our trees were very pleasant and polite. They did a good job. I did have questions about whether the trees should be sprayed, and if so, when.
We are beyond happy with the service we got from John the Arborist today!! The team of three that did some topping, limbing and clean-up of multiple trees on our property were all extremely professional, knowledgeable, respectful and thorough. Highly recommended!!!
Very knowledgeable, prompt when setting appointments, and very communicative during whole process. Crew was professional and kept me in the loop as they pruned the items discussed.
My plum tree needed both pruning [of useless 'water-sprouts'], and also had two "V" shaped branch angles about to split apart. Those needed cabling & bracing. I believe their work saved the life of my plum tree. I also had a katsura tree with extraneous trunks which they removed to to achieve a better overall…
John is knowledgable and experienced and easy to talk to. The three guys who came out last week removed 15 oriental (Chinese) arborvitae from three areas, trimmed both a Douglas fir and a red cedar. Everyone was professional and friendly and I enjoyed the experience.
Great job! Fast, good work and cleaned up the debris. Thank you!
Professional and friendly employees.
Cannot say enough good things about the work done here. From the start to finish…. the team assembled was very skilled, thoughtful, and hard working. All members of the team were kind and aware of the property and surroundings (we have kids and animals around- so this meant a lot to us). The crew was even patient…
Our large maple was in need of some work. John and his crew provided a detailed quote, did a great job, and cleaned up. Very satisfied.
Lovely to deal with. Very professional and great communication.
The crew did a great trimming job and a great cleanup, too!
Very good communication, on time, do a great job
Excellent work by a great team! Communication was fantastic, pricing was transparent in the quote process, and everyone onsite did a great job. My father-in-law was very happy with the results and feels safer with the trees closest to our home. I’ve been exploring our woods more now with my toddler son and feel…
Excellent and professional. The crew arrived on time, was highly skilled, and safety-conscious while removing some limbs and shortening others. They were very efficient and left the property spotless. Highly recommended for anyone needing prompt and thorough tree care.
Very professional org. Great results. Would hire them again.
John is thoughtful, clear and easy to work with. His crew was cheerful, friendly, careful and professional.
Excellent work by the crew! Really took the time to make the cuts such that my tree will continue to be healthy and productive for all the pollinators.
Good job. Friendly. Knowledgeable.
Showed up when they said they would, provided a very fair quote, cleaned up thoroughly after the job, and made sure we were happy with the final result.
I am so grateful for this team’s work! We called about an urgent problem— a big broken branch— and they showed up the same day to assess and start work. Very clear in defining the scope of work and so fast and effective at completing it. They went above and beyond— thank you!
I have a Japanese Maple in my yard which needed a trim that was beyond my skill set. I heard good things about John from friends and he came out and explained what he could do. He and his crew got the work done quickly without as much as a twig left behind. The price was reasonable and we are quite happy with the…
John’s crew did a great job on all our yard clean up needs—from pruning & shaping a range of trees and bushes to removal. Professional & efficient right through to the clean up. Also appreciated that they agreed to left a pile of the freshly chipped wood for us to use a weed suppressor.
John, Kanti and crew were really great to work with from beginning to finish - with clear quotes and a sense that John really knew how to maintain growth vitality balanced with requests for coverage privacy. Needed to remove grand firs, trim back overgrown areas, and reduce wind drag on tall trees. John's hard…
Needed a sugar maple tree trimmed back. Work was quick, well done, and the people were easy to work with. Thank you!!
John and his team were amazing from start to finish. Knowledgeable, communicative, and timely. John shepherded us through the county permit process and provided everything we needed to secure approval from our HOA. A real pro. Will be calling John with all our tree needs going forward. We have our arborist team for life now!
John came out and assessed our situation, carefully taking photos of each area. The crew did a fantastic job. They were easy to work with even though we had multiple neighbors wanting various things. We really appreciated their thoroughness in making sure everyone was happy with the tree trimming on the property…
We requested a treatment plan, including trimming and bracing, with an estimate, for 25 fifty to seventy-five foot elms, firs and a pine from four potential providers. The high confidence inducing conversation I had with John, the most detailed estimate coming in in the middle of the pack, and the slick…
The crew that performed the work was very professional. They arrived on time and completed the work as promised. We were so happy with their attention to detail and the fact that they left our place nice and clean. I would definitely hire them again.
Very professional and great communication! 100% recommend John the Arborist!
Nice job pruning and reshaping this 30 year old tree.
