Montclair Tree Experts

The one (crab apple) tree in our Clifton backyard has finally died. Our house was built in the mid 50’s and I suspect that this tree had been there many decades before that. The tree bloomed every year and provided shade over our picnic table year after year.
Lately, I noticed that more and more branches became bare. Pieces of bark then began to fall to the ground. Afterwards, smaller branches began to break off and fall down. Finally, the tree was totally bare and I was concerned that the brittle branches would crack and pose a hazard to us and our home. It was time then to have the tree taken down.
After calling several tree contractors, I spoke with CJ Miller, owner of Montclair Tree Experts. CJ met with me, looked over the yard and the tree, and gave me a firm (and fair) price that same day. Shortly thereafter, we set a date to have the tree cut down to the stump. Prior to the crew’s arrival, I moved everything I could away from the work area. CJ’s crew showed up exactly as promised; CJ also called ahead as I had asked prior to arriving.
A three man crew worked on our tree. One was the «cutter». Two others picked and hauled away each piece as they fell. My driveway was used as a staging area. Once all cutting had been completed, the crew fed all of the wood into their mulcher (at the curb) and then proceeded to rake my yard clean, blowing away left over debris from my sidewalks, driveway, and street.
Overall, I was highly pleased with the efficiency and care CJ’s crew demonstrated and highly recommend them to perform similar work. It must be pointed out that CJ inspected the job prior to, and upon completion.

I recently had Montclair Tree Experts prune a large oak tree in my front yard. It was not a hurry-​up job, so I told them to come whenever they could. Dave came promptly to give me an estimate and then the crew showed up a couple of days later to do the work. The guys were great, tree looks very good, clean-​up was perfect, and the price was right. I would recommend Montclair Tree and would certainly use them again.
