Steven and his crew did an outstanding job. They were punctual, hardworking, professional, and incredibly dedicated from start to finish. This was a large project that took two full days to complete, and their work ethic never wavered. They handled everything efficiently, worked safely, and left the property looking fantastic when they were done. I highly recommend Stanley Tree and their talented staff for any tree work, large or small\.

Gerard B.
The crew showed up at the designated date and time. They did all that was on my estimate, a few small extras, and the job was completed in a timely manner. They also were hired to trim large limbs hanging over my house and yard. They did a remarkable job cleaning up dead branches off these trees.
They used my backyard to perform similar services at my neighbor( at 13 Patricia Ave. ) , which I agreed upon. They were respectable and courteous and cleaned up to my satisfaction. This is the third time we hired Stanley since 1990 and they are the only tree company I would use. We still need a date when they will come and remove the four stumps as agreed upon. Very satisfied!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you Gerard!

The Stanley team was very considerate to drop the trunk ( which was huge) in an area where we could get access easily and also cut it in 12-14 inch logs. They neatened up the area before they left and made sure we were happy! Def. Will use again

David H.
We had Stanley Tree Service prune/trim three mature cherry trees, remove a mature crabapple tree that threatened the septic system, and trim a large maple tree that was overhanging our deck and raised flower beds. They asked us several times whether we were okay with what they were doing and readily accommodated any suggestions. The crew worked hard, cleaned up well and finished (except for stump grinding) in one day. I was very happy with their work.
Response from the owner:Thanks David!

Our property was in need of winter storm cleanup, pruning and rejuvenation. The arborist came to assess the needed work and sent us a detailed and thorough assessment for review and approval. The work took place over two days and everyone was focused, professional and friendly. Stanley Tree did a fantastic job and our property now looks wonderful.

We hired Stanley Tree Service, Inc from Rhode Island to remove a huge maple tree close to our house that was splitting and had many holes all over the trunk. The five crewmen that came to do the job were very professional, down to earth, and friendly. We mentioned there was a tree frog living in one of the holes and hopefully he would get scared and leave. At the end of the job, one crew member told us he got the frog and placed him somewhere safe! I was very happy! The equipment used for the job was excellent as they could not maneuver into the back yard due to some drain pipes close to the surface, and a carport we couldn't move. We were very impressed. It was a sweltering 90 degrees but the young men got the job done. They cleaned the front yard, driveway and area in back where the tree was. We were very, very impressed and extremely happy with the work done. This was the second time we've used Stanley Trees, and it won't be the last. Their price was exceptional as well.
