Had a very large section of the top of a tall oak fall in a storm and land awkwardly standing upright leaning against two other trees. I needed this cut down along with the tall oak. I also had some dead branches on another tree, dangerous in size, next to a neighbor's yard. Dad's gave me their estimate on Tuesday and were here the following Saturday. All the work was done in the way I had requested. The crew was friendly and efficient. They checked with me to make sure they were doing the work the way I wanted. The price was well within the range I would have expected having had several trees removed from my property over the past 23 years.

I had a dead oak tree that needed to be taken down and another oak that needed some dead branches pruned. I did my due diligence and contacted 3 tree services for estimates, of which Dad's was one. Dad's came out the next day and provided me with their estimate before they left. I ended up going with another service, but as many people know, getting companies to get back to you with estimates is half the battle. If Dad's is as timely with doing the work as they are with providing the estimate, they're probably great.

We had three trees which needed trimming. One grew well beyond our fence line and extended onto the apron of the neighbor's pool, dropping berries on the pool perimeter in the spring. We wanted a radical trim back for them that wouldn't look hideous or, for us, kill the tree. On each end of the house we had tall hollies which had shape problems informal trimming by us couldn't remedy. We wanted an arborist to assess this situation and lay out a plan. The owner, an arborist, Ron K., came promptly after our call, gave us a price and within about 2 weeks, after a call setting the arrival date, the crew came and accomplished all that we had asked for. The hollies are under control, shaped, and the neighbors are very happy. Dad's has the expertise to craft trimming. It does seem somewhat expensive; for ordinary tree removal their skills may not be needed. Additionally, be quite sure what you want is in the terms of the contract; I don't think the crew would add tree work on their own.
