Excellent service 👏
Great job was done by the Heart of Wood crew on my trees and bushes.
Great service! Our Japanese maple was looking like a wild child, with lopsided growth and long leggy branches. Heart of Wood pruned it up beautifully.Even though it was a small job,the owner got back to me and came out to assess it and give me a quote. His guy Oscar came and pruned it a few days later and now it looks balanced. Thank you!Photos show the before and after. The long leggy branches a... More

Timely, kind and excellent service!
Many thanks to Thomas and his team! We had a very large elm that needed care and the work was done expertly and with care. Highly recommend!

Heart of Wood did an excellent job doing a challenging removal of a very large oak tree that was near power and utility lines and overhung part of our house.

Heart of Wood did an excellent job doing a challenging removal of a very large oak tree that was near power and utility lines and overhung part of our house. They were able to skillfully remove the limbs and trunk and were the only company I spoke to that was able to do the job without having to bring in a lift truck and used a tree climber to navigate the high limbs. After the tree was removed, they returned to grind the stump down below ground level and left the job site cleaner than it was when they came. I was very satisfied with their work and highly recommend their services. Less

I highly recommend Thomas and his team at The Heart of Wood Tree Service. It’s very rare that you work with a business that really impresses you with their vast knowledge and attention to detail/care of their craft. Do not hesitate with letting this business take care of your tree/pruning/removal services. My project involved a large cherry tree on the decline. Thomas offered creative pruning solutions to try to help sustain tree. The cherry tree may end up needing to be removed in a few years but Thomas easily worked with my requirements. Thomas also provided very helpful information about all the trees on my property that I didn’t know about. The quote and scheduling process was all seamless. I hope to work with Thomas and team again in the future! Less

It had grown around power lines and had branches that touched the House. Thomas came out and gave us a free quote and left us with several options. Importantly, he did ask how I wanted to have the tree trimmed - to look natural or to be severely cut back. The crew came out and did the job quickly and well. In addition, they did an AMAZING job of cleaning up after themselves. They raked the yard for any extra branches and removed any scrap that fell off the tree. I highly recommend this company. Less

I had an excellent experience with The Heart of Wood Tree Service. From scheduling the estimate to completing the job, everything was seamless. Thomas, the owner, not only provided a thorough estimate but also shared valuable insights about tree care, demonstrating both expertise and passion for his work. What stood out was their honest advice regarding the timing of certain services, prioritizing the health of the trees over profit. This integrity, coupled with their professionalism, made a lasting impression. The execution was swift and efficient, with Thomas's crew. I recommend The Heart of Wood to anyone in need of tree services and will definitely call them again for future needs. Their commitment to quality, and environmental care is commendable. Less

Our Community needed to address some very large trees at the rear of our property. There is no real easy access due to location. We collected (4) quotes and were given different options from each one. Out of the (4) Heart of Wood came in with the overall best price and the best options. I met with Thomas and immediately knew I was working with someone that knew what they were doing. He looked over the trees and recommended we remove (2) and just trim one up. He was straight forward on our options. He provided several based on what we wanted to spend on the project. His company offered tree removing with no heavy equipment and no disturbance to the property which was exactly what we were looking for this in this project. Thomas had his crew on-site within a week after we made our decision (even with the Thanksgiving holiday). His Crew was amazing, if not for the sounds of chain-saws I would not have even known they were cutting down huge trees with branches extending everywhere. I really cannot describe the stress that we had over this project as the trees were huge and in a precarious spot leaning towards a neighboring community. Thomas from start to finish worked with me via phone, email, and on-site visits. His guys were absolutely amazing to watch as they safely & quickly removed our problems. They did a great job cleaning up and the area looks better than when they started. I could not be more happy with the work they did. Our stress is gone and at a price & option that we can live with, I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Heart of Wood. Definitely will be who we work with for any future tree issues. Less

If I could rate them a 6, I absolutely would. I found myself in a tough situation when I received notice from the condo association that a tree in my yard had to come down. And basically immediately due to their oversight in missing this tree during earlier inspections in advance of fence replacements. I have used Heart of Wood for tree trimming services in the past and they are flexible, rates are so affordable, and their employees are kind and professional. First, every time I have called Heart of Wood, Tom has answered the phone and bent over backwards to provide an estimate almost immediately, usually within 24 hours. Even if they were not able to trim immediately, I knew how much to budget for the work. In this situation, I was so thankful that they had unexpected availability due to some incoming weather. They were able to take the tree down in an afternoon. Even better, their estimate for the work was on par with the 'deeply discounted' rate the condo association offered for their oversight. I also wanted to add that the men who showed up were professional, constantly moving, and even took into account where they placed their truck so as to avoid dust and debris from the tree grinder landing on cars in the parking lot. They left a half a dozen stumps from the tree at my request and then cleaned EVERYTHING. I cannot say enough great things about this company, its leadership, and its employees Less

I'm very happy that I gave this team a chance. Everything went smoothly, no hard sell at all with great communication from start to finish. Although I initially wanted minimal work done (trimming some large dead branches from a huge oak tree) using an Angie's List deal, after a no-pressure evaluation of my property I decided to do work I initially thought would be cost-prohibitive at this time based on previous quotes. Before any work was done Thomas inspected my property to confirm what I wanted and gave a detailed quote breaking down my options several ways to combine different items for a 'more bang for the buck' if done at once. I had no intention of doing more than original scope, but in the end I had a HUGE branch (actually a 1/3 of a split trunk on a fully grown 100' foot maple) removed which posed some threat to my roof if it came down (yes, it worried me but cost of removing that monster caused me to push it off year after year), all original work plus more branches trimmed for extra light. A nearly identical split maple trunk 20 feet away looked almost the same but I was told that it was, unlike the removed one, no threat and healthy enough to stay. This was a refreshing honest assessment. With competitive quotes from others for comparison from years past this was still done a under budget and trees' cut sections handled properly to insure health of remaining branches or trunks - could barely tell. Everything was done without me home and when I inspected that night it looked as if no-one was ever there - everything cleaned up down to the last leaf. It was a real pleasure dealing with THoW. I am already planning to bring them back next year for more mature tree maintenance even without Angie's List discount and happily recommended to several people. Less

The Heart of Wood removed two large limbs from a mature silver maple that was hanging over our house. From start to finish, the entire team was professional, communicative, responsible, and effective, and we couldn't have been happier. At the proposal stage, The Heart of Wood evaluated the tree in its entirety, noting what was necessary to maintain balance and tree health, as well as offering to fill holes in order to prevent rot. They even drew a diagram of the tree, so we were sure what was being removed. The day of removal, the crew arrived on time and did a beautiful job removing the necessary limbs. They cleaned up not only our yard, but also our neighbors' yards, making sure no debris had blown anywhere. Perhaps most telling, when the crew discovered that some baby squirrels were in a nest inside one of the hollow, removed limbs, they used bark to gently place the babies back in their nest, covering them to ensure they were safe. The Heart of Wood isn't just a great company, they're great people, and we plan to use them for all of our future tree needs! Less
