“They did an excellent job. They came and looked at the tree. Someone told me it could not be saved, but the Arbor-Nomics person said it was an insect infestation. So he treated it. Arbor-Nomics was able to save the tree.”
“I’ve worked with Arbor-Nomics Tree Service for about four years, and they’re just excellent. They always follow up, and they do quality work and don’t leave a mess behind, which is always the challenge with tree services. They do a very good job and demonstrate very good care in their work.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Arbor-Nomics Tree Service. The person gave us very good advice about our trees. We actually lost a tree during a storm, so one tree was removed. Then, we have a huge oak tree in our backyard, and it was trimmed very professionally. Everything was just perfect. This service was really, really outstanding.”
“Arbor-Nomics has done some very high-end maintenance on a maple, which required a lot of understanding about that particular tree, and they’ve done everything from stump grinding to large-bush removal. What I like about Arbor-Nomics is that they can handle it all.”
“I used Arbor-Nomics, and I was very pleased with them....They don’t try to come out and tell you that the tree is gonna die and they should just take it down. And they love trees, and I love trees as well. They’re very knowledgeable, and they just have an appreciation for the tree. That means a lot to me, being an environmentalist and someone who loves trees.”
“We used Arbor-Nomics to take the tree down....They were able to help me acquire the permit. They did a great job. We were very pleased.”
“I called them in on two or three occasions for pruning. They’re
professional. They don’t just come in and cut the tree down and charge
you. I called them thinking I had a tree that needed to come down, and
they tried to save the tree. I like the way they operate. I get to look
at that pretty tree in my yard.”
“They came out and did the arborist’s survey of some questionable trees
for me and gave me a report on that. My experience with them was
excellent. They had it all together.”
“He’s a nice guy, and he really cares about trees. He hates tearing them down, which is why I chose him.”
“The guy from Arbor-Nomics just knew all about trees. We got a lot of
compliments after they did their work....Beautiful....I would use him
again in a heartbeat.”
"Arbor-Nomics did pruning of some trees in the yard, and they did an excellent job. I was pleased."
"I like Arbor-Nomics; I think they did a fabulous job because they are not tree killers—they actually are in the tree preservation business, and they are not trying to make a buck by cutting down as many trees as they can. They were very careful. I had my backyard kind of cleared out because I had a lot of brush and a lot of nuisance trees. And they really took care of taking those out as opposed to, 'Let's cut down every pine tree in the backyard'. The person I actually worked with from Arbor-Nomics was a certified biologist and a certified arborist and had a degree in wildlife biology. And it was a woman—she was fabulous; she was absolutely fabulous."
"It was good; they did a good job. I remember they removed a tree and then trimmed the branches off of another tree. The tree that they just trimmed the branches on is doing really well. And they came out when they said they would, which is really tough right now. So, I mean, I think they definitely met my expectations, and I think they did a really good job. I also use Arbor-Nomics for my lawn treatments."
"Arbor-Nomics Tree Service did some work for me. I didn't hire them for a big project or anything, but what they did do was fine. When I bought my home, there was a Golden Raintree already planted, and over the years it grew bigger and bigger, so I had them trim some limbs off it to get it away from clogging up the gutter. I didn't want it actually all the way cut down, just trimmed to improve. Everything is working out OK. They were very nice, and they worked hard. I have no complaints. They did clean up."
"Arbor-Nomics removed a tree. The people who took our tree down were very professional, and actually, I think I went with them because they just seemed like they really knew what they were doing. It was a very tight space, and I had one of those Bradford pears, and it was cracked in the middle; I was really glad that I got it down when I did, because think right after that, there was all this rain. It was right about this time last year. Yeah, it was a lot of rain last year. We had a leaking roof, so I do remember very vividly."
"I thought they did an excellent job; they turned up when they were supposed to, they cleaned up after themselves, and they did exactly what was expected. We have these Dora Pines, which were huge, and they were overlooking the house, so they came out and chopped them back. We also have Arbor-Nomics for landscaper uses. They do the fertilization, so they come a couple of times a year."
"I used Arbor-Nomics for tree service, and the last thing that they did was cut down a tree that was leaning; we were afraid with all the wind storms that we had and with all the wet ground, the next time it might fall over and actually hit the house, so I had them come out and assess it. I was correct in my assumption to cut down the tree, and then they actually came back to do the work. I was satisfied with the quality of work they did. No issues with cleanup or anything like that. Actually, they did it when I wasn't even home; they said I didn't need to be here, but when I got home, obviously, I noticed the tree was gone, but I was relatively surprised there was hardly any debris at all."
"Arbor-Nomics did some tree service work for me last year. They did marvelous. They're a wonderful company. I have used them before that time. I think they're the only ones I will use, because I trust them to do what they're doing and to do it correctly, and there's not a blade of anything left when they leave. They even clean up the leaves under the wood chipper. They're the only ones that I use."
"Arbor-Nomics did a tree service for me last year. They did a really good job. I also have a regular contract with them to do my yard stuff, so they come out five times a year to spray my yard to keep all the weeds down. They show up on time and they do a good job. They had the workers themselves, as well as the supervisor lady, and she stayed the whole time, making sure they cut everything. I think she was a certified arborist because she would direct them the whole time, and they seemed used to that because they gave her a good bit of respect."
"I thought Arbor-Nomics were fine; they did a good job. They performed a removal of one tree, and then they did trimming of two other trees. The cleanup was great; they actually removed all the branches and things that fell. The next day, or maybe it was a few days, they came back and had to grind the stump of the tree we removed. They were very professional and knowledgeable, because we did not know a lot about the trees, we just knew we needed them trimmed. They were there to tell us the kind of tree and how it grows and all that kind of stuff."
"I ended up using Arbor-Nomics. They did an excellent job. I had them remove a dead tree and prune a large tree two years ago. And then this year, the large tree, half of it died, so they removed that one as well. This is a company I would recommend others to use. The arborist on staff is very knowledgeable, they do excellent work, and they do a great job cleaning up when they're done."
"They are good, excellent. They saved my Leyland Cypress. They have come twice and whatever they did to it, I mean, problem solved. No fungus, bacteria—I mean whatever affects trees. And they are looking mighty fed. Right now they look absolutely spectacular, so they did a great job for me. I've used them before. It's about every year they decide to have a spell, so every year I call them, most recently this year."
"Arbor-Nomics have done pruning and probably fertilizing and just general landscaping of the trees for me. They did do some tree removal, too. Their clean up was outstanding. I would absolutely continue to use this company and recommend them to other people. I worked with them for a long time when they got started, and it's the only company I use."
"We used Arbor-Nomics in the past to do some tree services. I've been a customer now for a couple years, so I have used them for lots of things. They pretty much handle all my lawn care. When I have had mold problems, they've come over and helped me with that, too. They've done a great job. They have been very responsive, and I would recommend them and use them again for sure. They have been very reliable."
"We've used them twice, and I would never use anybody else. Once the guy removed a tree entirely that somebody else had ruined. And last time he came over, he took some branches off and took down some. They were live, but they were running into our house. He took down some dead branches as well. But the crew has always been very friendly and helpful, and the thing I appreciated the most is that he never used spikes. He climbs trees with ropes, so the tree is never damaged by what they're doing. This last tree they had to take down—the previous guy used spikes and killed the tree; so, they are the good people."
"I had them out twice. They removed a top of a tree that was hanging over a neighbor's house. I had them remove a small tree in the yard, and then I've had them limb up all of my trees on my property to 40 feet, so there are no branches below 40 feet. They did a great job on all of it. They're excellent. You can't even tell they've been there, except that the tree's gone. They blow everything; there aren't holes in the ground or dropped branches or trees. I've actually recommended them to quite a few people. They do a really great job. I refer them all the time."
"I used Arbor-Nomics and was very happy with them. They were removing and pruning a lot of trees. They cleaned everything up, they did everything that was on the estimate, and they came back and ground the stumps the next day. They were excellent."
"They were accurate and extremely helpful—they helped me with other things that are not necessarily on their list. I struggled with an injury, and they helped me with a couple of things around the house that needed to be done that I didn't realize needed to be done. I had some trees that I had pulled up that needed to get to the front of the yard so the folks could pick it up, but I couldn't do it. So they came out and did it for me. They did a great job on my Japanese Maple and made my tree look like a tree again. They made my front yard look so much better, and they gave me some recommendations on other plants as well."
"They did fine; they did what they said they would do. They trimmed some limbs, and they cut down some trees and cut them up in pile-wood lengths and chipped up all the branches and stuff and left me the chips. They had come out earlier and looked at all the trees and told us what needed to be done—what trees were safe, what trees needed work. And then we hired them to come back and do the work."
"They were excellent, and I have used them before. They trimmed some trees for us. From the arborist's point of view, they are not just tree cutters. And I prefer to leave my trees a little bushier than most services would like, but Arbor-Nomics understands that, and they accommodate me for that. I like to use Arbor-Nomics for my good trees because I really trust them."
"They always do a great job for me. I deal specifically with the owner, and he's usually the one that comes out and gives me estimates—he does good work. The work they do for me is a little bit of maintenance; I've had probably two or three fallen trees that they've had to remove. They always come if it's an emergency, and they've come when I've needed them."
"We used Arbor-Nomics for the third or forth year in a row, and every year we have them come out because Jennifer is so wonderful. She kind of critiques all of my trees and tells me when I should think about pruning a tree, and for some she goes, 'Oh, leave them alone. They look great.' And so, we're just very pleased. I got their number from Home Reports, and I use them every time I'm investigating a service that I want."
"I've been with Arbor-Nomics since I saw them in Home Reports—five to eight years ago—and they're still doing work for me out in the yard. They're very, very good. If they say they're going to be here Tuesday morning at eight o' clock or ten o' clock, and they're running late or got tied up on another job, they'll call. But they are very dependable, and that's what I look for. Dependability is very important to me. They show up when they say they're going to be here. Arbor-Nomics has always done that. They're very, very good about that. They have reasonable prices and very friendly people to deal with, so I don't have any complaints at all."
