I called to have a very big oak tree that was split halfway up the middle. The tree was about 30-40 feet tall. They removed it within 6 hours and cleaned the whole back yard!

We had them come clear a tree off our driveway and take care of two other down trees. They are always friendly and do what they say they will. This is our second time using them, and we always recommend them when someone says they need tree services.

We have been using Matt & his team for a few years. The most recent was a severe storm that left our yard in shambles a few weeks ago. They have always shown professionalism. They charge a very fair price. When they leave you can't tell there was ever any damage. With another severe storm on the way I hope it's not…

tldr - excellent service, will use again in the future. We have a number of trees that need pruning or removal. After 2 terrible experiences just trying to get a decent quote we were referred to Oak Hill. Jeff came out, walked the yard with me, asked lots of questions and gave me a quote for the first part of the work, 1 oak needing pruning over the roof and 2 tall (100+ ft) pines taken all the way down. The price was more than reasonable. On the day of work the crew arrived on time and got right to it. They did a terrific job and cleaned up to include power blowing the roof and all the gutters. Being retired military I got a kick out of the team lead holding what was essentially an After Action Review at the end of the job with the team discussing what went well and not so well. It was clear he was interested in their safety and mentoring them to take on more challenging work. That's the way to do it.

Very good work for a really good price. Thank you very much for the work. I would highly recommend this company’s service to anyone interested in having a tree removed or any other related work. Just for a reference, I am in the Oakland park area off of Rice St. Some very big trees back here!

I experienced my second job with Oak Hill Arborist. This time I had a neighbor’s tree that fell in my yard and a second neighbor’s yard. I called Oak Hill because of my prior experience with this company. They are prompt, reliable, neat, professional and good. They are worth every penny I paid them. Side note, about 2 months ago, my neighbor hired some other, fly-by-night guy, to remove a downed tree on his property. The guy cut the tree up but still has not removed all of the tree. My neighbor should have called Oak Hill and given them a chance.

We have been using Matt & his team for a few years. The most recent was a severe storm that left our yard in shambles a few weeks ago. They have always shown professionalism. They charge a very fair price. When they leave you can't tell there was ever any damage. With another severe storm on the way I hope it's not us that will need them. However, if so, they are the only one I'll be calling.

I had several large limbs from several large oak trees that needed to be pruned back. Matthew and his crew showed up when he said he would and did the job just like we discussed. All of his men were professional and courteous. They left my yard looking better than when they arrived. All the wood and clippings were piled neatly and out of the way. A job well done. I highly recommend Oak Hill Arborist service.
