Takoma Tree Experts Inc

The did great work at a fair price. Highly recommended

We had a 50+ foot tall elm that was too close to the house, and which we believe was touching the foundation. After receiving an estimate that we thought was too high (over $ 600), we found Takoma Tree Experts on Unilocal.I requested an estimate, and got back something that I thought was far more reasonable (less than half of what the other company quoted me).
I signed off on their estimate, and the owner contacted me directly to discuss scheduling. He had to push back the date a few times due to the weather, but that was understandable. However, he also had to reschedule because of a miscommunication with his crew about having to work on the 5^th of July, which I thought was a little unprofessional. I also thought it was a little strange that they didn’t require any written permission from my neighbor, whose yard they had to enter to access the tree, but it all turned out to be fine.
The crew was small, maybe 3 – 4 guys, and they worked quickly. They got the tree down and cut firewood lengths for me in about an hour. I would definitely contact them again if I needed another tree removed. My only real complaint is that their phone number is really just for an answering service, and you always have to wait for someone to call you back. That said, the owner is very responsive via email. I imagine that most people don’t frequently have to have trees removed, so it’s really difficult to determine what is an appropriate price and how the process should work, but I’m just happy my tree is gone with no damage to any property, and at a reasonable price.

When you keep hearing the name of a business on various listserv’s, you can be confident that the business treats the customer right… listserv people take no prisoners. I got an estimate for a 150 year old oak tree removal. Oak trees and earthquakes don’t get along too good, that 2011 earthquake caused the tree to tilt. Takoma Trees had a fair estimate, I used another company in 2007, so I know that Takoma had a good price. TT had an opening on their schedule sooner than the two week appointment, and asked if I wanted it. They started around two in the afternoon, and finished, remarkably, in less than three hours.
I wanted the wood, to include a twenty foot section. T-​Trees uses a mulcher for the brush, they had a whole truckload when they left. There were five of them including the boss, they did it all, to include sweeping the stairs of the deck. I tipped them because I figure if you tip the waiter for walking thirty feet from the kitchen, you ought to be able to be able to tip somebody who goes up a hundred foot tree that is uhhhhhh, leaning.
Can recommend this company without reservation. They cut the pieces to fireplace length, left me a twenty foot piece as I asked, they were neat and friendly and thoroughly efficient.
