Roots & Shoots. Roots & Shoots did excellent work removing 3 diseased and storm-damaged birch trees from our yard. They were punctual, fast and courteous, the price was reasonable and they gave us a discount for some accidental damage to another tree. It was an honest accident and they responded fairly. I recommend Roots & Shoots and I will use them again if I need tree services.

Very good experience. I wanted an arborist, and Roots and Shoots has done work in the neighborhood for years. De-sailed 2 very large fir trees, pruned maple and cherry trees. Price was competitive. They came back another day to finish all the work, but I had no time constraint. The office kept me informed of the schedule, so no surprises. Trees look great!

Description of Work: We had a big storm and a huge Maple tree's limbs fell on our home and our neighbors! This company came out to get the limbs off without hurting themselves or the home and they were incredible.

Justin at Roots and Shoots Tree Service came to us highly recommended when we needed some serious work done on several very large trees on our property. He evaluated and proposed a pruning plan for our huge Walnut, Spruce, and a Sequoia to both improve their health and appearance. His proposal was huge in its scope, but very reasonable in price for the work that needed to be done. The Roots and Shoots crew were fabulous - very skilled, professional and knowledgeable - and they also explained what they were doing as they did the work. It was clear they valued our trees as much as we did and treated both them and us with respect because they were true ARBORISTS, not just tree trimmers. By far the best and most professional tree crew we have ever worked with, and a far cry from the more common "tree butchers" we have encountered in the past. And, just because it needed it, they also pruned our weakly producing pear tree at no additional charge. The results of their work were simply astounding - the trees not only looked great initially, but continue to look great with a little maintenance pruning years later. The enormous Sequoia is not only more open and healthier, but also produces about half of the annual deadfall it used to shed ever year. And, the pear tree immediately began producing bumper crops. Anybody need some pears? We could not recommend Justin and Roots and Shoots more highly. They are the only arborists we will call for our valued trees.

Description of Work: Very extensive trimming and pruning of several very large and valuable trees on our property,

Description of Work: Trimmed canopy of large tree, pruned two lilac trees, fertilized one lilac tree, and other misc items. Went well.

- Lynne C.  |  05/2015

They are excellent. They have done other work for me as well. I have used them for five or six years. They have great attitudes and they are knowledgeable. He is a very personable man and loves his job.

Description of Work: They planted a tree for me.

- Cheryl W.  |  02/2015

Description of Work: I had a tree whose top was bending over and would eventually fall down so we had Roots and Shoots come out and look at it. We decided it was better it come down by them instead of on its own and cause damage to the surrounding area. They took it down neatly, ground the stump and now we have firewood for next winter.

- Kimberlee A.  |  06/2014

Roots and Shoots did a fantastic job of planting, trimming splitting wood, stacking it and cleaning up every area they worked in. They went above and beyond our expectations. They go about every aspect of their work in a very timely and professional manner. We will have them back next year for inspection and to do any work they think is needed.

Description of Work: Services provided: Remove a dying Pine Tree, Trim dead or dying branches off some Redwood tress, removed a large overgrown bush. We had some huge rounds of Redwood and Maple that we had them split for firewood. They built a holding area with 4X4's and stacked the firewood in it. After the jobs were done they cleaned up the areas they had worked in. They also replanted a fern which they moved to put in the firewood rack. The pine tree that was removed was replaced by 3 Cedar trees That they planted. The stumps of some the Pine tree and some other smaller stumps were ground down.

Justin and his crew arrived on time and immediately began setting up their equipment to take down our 6 very tall cedar trees which were located right against our back and side fences. They proceeded to systematically remove the branches from each tree without the debris spilling over into my neighbors yards and ultimately these multi-trunked trees were removed with only a small stump left. During this day long job they kept the amazingly large amount of branches and tree parts removed chipped up and left the area cleaned. The maple tree we wanted to keep now has plenty of light and room to branch out and we have plenty of firewood to use and share. I spoke with my next door neighbor who watched this tree removal for awhile and was pleased to hear her say -- and quot;I was amazed at how they managed to drop those branches and limbs perfectlyand quot;. This job had worried us since it was not an easy one and the end result was completely positive due to their professional abilities. Thanks to the entire Roots and Shoots crew!!

Description of Work: Removed 3 multi-trunked 40 year old, very tall cedar trees from the very back of our property while leaving a maple tree which was located inches away from one of the cedars and actually bonded with another cedar near the base in place.

- linda M.  |  04/2013

He was very thorough and explained everything. He really took his time to explain the different plants and the things we need to do progressively.

Description of Work: They trimmed trees and shrubs for us.

- john S. |  04/2013

They trimmed brances to make them healthy and put a brace in one tree to make it stable. I would recommend this company to anyone.

Description of Work: I hired this company to trim branches and evaluate any areas within my trees that were unstable or rotting.

- Lori L.  |  08/2012

They got everything removed in 2 days. I referred them to a friend and she felt the same way about how awesome this company is.

- Jack W.  |  07/2017

They are a terrific company! They have a certified Arborist, which was an advantage for me. They not only knew what do but how to do it as well. If there was such a thing as a tree whisperer, it would be them! They have never done any work that was unsatisfactory and the trees always looked a million times better than before they arrived. The pricing was very fair, but not cheap either. I will be referring them and using them again.

Description of Work: Roots and Shoots LLC pruned several trees for us, including fruit trees, stump grounding, and removed limbs from a few trees.

- Jan P.  |  01/2012

Justin is a very gifted arborist who is knowledgeble, honest, and personable.

Description of Work: Justin has done a lot of work for us over the years. He has topped a very diffiucult tree that was leaning over our creek, he took care of the storm damage on our trees and bushes a year or two ago, he has done general trimming of high trees.

- Jack W.  |  03/2011

They were terrific and the work was excellent. I can’t say enough good things about them. They arrived on time, did the work and cleaned up after themselves. They were polite and wonderful. Their price was fine for what we got. I would rate them highly and would use them in the future if necessary.

Description of Work: We used Roots and Shoots to cut up a tree that had fallen during the storm. It was a really large tree and was a couple of feet in diameter.

- Elaine R. |  08/2010

His prices are not the cheapest in town, but he is very knowledgeable and in this field (as in many others), you get what you pay for. He really cares about trees and knows about trees.

Description of Work: I have used Justin on and off for many years. This time, he pruned my (huge) maple tree and oak tree. Also, last year, my lilac bushes became uprooted in the severe frosts we had, and were totally horizontal on the ground. He came over to look at them and when I felt that his estimate to get them back up to vertical was more than I could spend, he graciously told me how I could do it myself (which I did).

- Susan R.  |  04/2010

It went well.

Description of Work: They pruned a portion of our property.

- Layne C.  |  12/2008

I don't know why I bother to have anyone else bid my tree jobs. Justin and his team are fabulous and usually come in at a lower cost than others. You do need to schedule out a little way though.

Description of Work: They Removed a large Maple, ground the stump and roots that were causing problems. They did a great job, were quick and cleaned up after themselves. Beautiful job.

- Cindee F.  |  10/2008

Justin came first for an estimate. Right on time. Told me that one tree I thought needed to be removed did not need to be removed and suggested I make a notch in my porch roof to accommodate the tree. I did and it turned out beautifully. When he came to do the work, he was right on time, got right to work, and had a great crew. They worked hard and well together. He gave me good advice about my trees and was very knowledgeable. He and his crew were outstanding.

Description of Work: Removed several trees of varying sizes, planted another, and chipped all stumps and other plant debris. The new tree is guaranteed for a year.

- Elaine R.  |  09/2008

I had the hardest time reaching a live person. Every time I called I had to leave a message. Jennifer did call back and scheduled a time for an estimate. When Justin came out, he didn't come to the door for some reason. He called and left a message on our answering machine. My wife was home, but was unable to get to the phone. If he had come to the door, he would have been able to give us the estimate. He said she had the sprinkler on ... I guess he's afraid of water??? The story did end well. Jennifer called back and recommended another company. They got the job and did an excellent job.

Description of Work: I needed to have a 100 year old Walnut tree removed.

- JERRY M.  |  07/2007

Justin and his team did an excellent job. We discussed problem trees and how to deal with them. We discussed replacement trees for several areas. The work was done with care for safety. Our Maples that were thinned look better than we imagined they could. Branches were mulched, trunks were cut up and removed, all debris raked up so that things were normal very quickly.

Description of Work: Justin took 2 trees out for us in May, Spruces growing next to our deck and leaning toward the house. He also thinned 2 Maples and ground up 8-10 stumps. The cost here was $1825. In late November a wind storm damaged a Spruce so it was removed along with 2 small maples that had been horribly pruned many years ago. We also removed a Red Cedar that was very stressed and growing next to a fence. Stumps were also ground. Cost here was $1275. Less than a week later another wind storm uprooted a Spruce that we had intended to keep. It nearly uprooted another Spruce, which was leaning severely. Both were removed and with stump grinding, the cost here was $400.

- PATRICIA P.  |  12/2006

Justin arrived at our house promptly for our appointment and walked through the yard with me looking at the trees. I immediately knew he was an expert because he could identify the trees upon site and even knew that some had been grafted onto other trunk bases. He gave me an education about the trees (watering, sun, lifespan, how healthy each tree was and what trimming it needed to stay healthy). He provided a good detailed quote with a fair price. When scheduled, his team did a oustanding job. I didn't need to be home for the work. When I came home, the trees looked lovely. They were thinned and looked clean and healthy, but not "scalped" in any way. It was clear that his team did oustanding high quality work. I will use Roots and Shoots exclusively for my tree needs in the future, and highly reccomend them to anyone.

Description of Work: We purchased an older home surrounded by beautiful trees. In order to keep them healthy and to keep the house safe from falling limbs in winter, we chose to have the trees trimmed. We had approximately 8-10 large trees trimmed around the house and yard.
