“Family Tree Service did an evaluation on the condition of maple trees in the block about a year ago. The guy who came out gave us an honest appraisal about the condition of the trees. He let us know that they were infected. He also gave us a prognosis and an estimate. They alerted all of us that the trees would need to come down or they would fall; some on the private properties. They had qualified people. All the other companies who came out here gave us different information. The other companies said that the trees were healthy. However, the guys from Family Tree Service said what was going on with the trees. They also suggested and recommended to leave the large tree alone. If we trimmed it all, it would hasten the demise of that tree. So, they put it out there even at the cost of not getting a job. We didn’t spend any money with them. What was cool was that they didn’t mislead us to make money. They were very professional and candid. They responded when I made an appointment. They kept to their appointment and came out a couple of days later. They looked at the trees and gave us an honest appraisal. There was no attempt to mislead in order to get a job. I would definitely use their services in the future too. They were qualified to make that type of evaluation. They were one of the few in Brooklyn. Most of them are engaged by the city, but the agent from Family Tree Service was one of the few ones working independently who was qualified to do the same type of appraisal.”
