I highly recommend Doug's tree service. We had a very old willow tree, 5' diameter trunk, that fell during a storm. Doug's was quick to get us a quote and quick with their scheduling. They were very reasonably priced, cheaper than two other quotes I received. Now to the work done: thorough, professional, and incredible!

Doug's was quick to get us a quote and quick with their scheduling. They were very reasonably priced, cheaper than two other quotes I received. Now to the work done: thorough, professional, and incredible! A crew of 3 gentlemen worked efficiently together and we were impressed with the level of corrdination and trust in each other they showed. From arrival to driving away, they only took 2 hours thanks to their skill, professional equipment, and teamwork. They removed every bit of the fallen tree, and went beyond to clean up the collateral damage to other trees next to it. Their final cleanup was thorough and particular, leaving the area looking professional and clean. The tree had smashed our shed, and they took the time to use a front end loader to group the shed remnants into one area to make our next cleanup steps easier. Since we were home, they also stopped for a quick chat of advice at the end. Everyone I spoke with, from Lori during scheduling to each of the crew members, was friendly, courteous, and positive. Again, highly recommended!read less

This crew is great! I have never worked with a company that was as efficient and as professional as Doug's tree services.

I have never worked with a company that was as efficient and as professional as Doug's tree services. They removed two trees and trimmed another and left nothing behind except what they did not have room for (it filled the mulcher/dump truck) BUT, they were here Sunday morning to clear the remainder and are now cleaning everything back up and blowing away the leaves and smaller debris. I got many quotes, all were approximately the same except one who was 3 times the amount, most of which also said they would destroy our newly installed flowerbeds. Not these guys, never heard that once. They did not hurt one bloom or branch of anything recently planted. We will call them again as we have a few more larger trees we do not want to tackle ourselves. I would recommend them to anyone that asks!read less

Also to remove an overgrown lilac bush and remove the stump, add soil and seed. The results of their work was awesome! The crew of three (Dougie and the 2 guys who worked with him ) came right on time, worked continuously together and completed the work in no time at all. They cleaned up the cuttings throughly. They made sure that I was happy with the results before they left. Kudos to Doug for having such a great staff and crew! Great quote too! Christine coordinated the job with me (awesome customer service skills)! I highly recommend Dougs Tree Service!!read less

It was a very challenging spot with lots of opportunities to cause damage if not done correctly. I called several companies, and Doug's gave me a very fair estimate. They also gave me a detailed plan on how they would do the job without causing damage. They brought the BIG crane truck and removed the entire tree in 2 hours without an issue. I'm very impressed with the workmanship and professionalism and will definitely use them in the future. I don't leave reviews very often but the positive reviews are one reason that I called Doug's in the first place so I'm leaving one now so that I will hopefully help others to make an informed decision also.read less

Knowing how good their work was, I surprised when I received the estimate. It was much lower than I thought it would be. We have 2 trees that were original when our house built, about 25 years ago.

It was much lower than I thought it would be. We have 2 trees that were original when our house built, about 25 years ago. The one on the front of our house was get out of balance and much too tall for us to control anymore. Doug did a great job with topping the tree off, balancing it and cleaning it out. It doesn't look like a chopped tree, just one in good shape. He did the same for our other tree, except topping it. I am very picky about the cleanliness of crews that work for us and I couldn't find not one stick on the ground when he left. Nor was their any damage for the very large apparatus that was used to get 40-50' in the air.read less

He was courteous and gave a very competitive estimate. All further communications were timely and helpful. The job was done on time (with a weather delay that doesn't count) and very professionally. The team, with crane, cherry-picker, etc, came on a Friday and Doug completed the job himself over the weekend. He then carefully ground the stump, filled in dirt as needed, packed it down by hand and planted grass seed. A high quality job at a reasonable price. And also a difficult job given the placement of the large tree. Very highly recommended.read less

I worked as a climber for 7 or 8 years as a young man and know a good job when I see one. My mature trees having been trimmed multiple times by other tree services And now they have never looked better. Needless to say I wasn’t just pleased I was impressed.

There was no question who to call. Doug's crew was simply, as my wife Cindy put it, "incredible". We marveled at how efficiently and relatively quickly they got the job done...and how immaculately they cleaned everything up. Two of the stump pieces were too challenging for the claws to remove, so they said they would return after doing another big job in Lititz - as they did. Thank you, Jason, Greg, and the other crew members whose names we didn't get. 100%+ satisfaction!read less

They just removed a giant red maple and 9 cedars in a hedgerow. They were prepared, efficient and masters of the industry. They cleaned up afterwards and done in short order. This is the second time they’ve done work for us (first involving some very awkwardly placed trees requiring tree climbers). In terms of service, equipment and efficiency, cannot be beat for the price. These folks have a solution for any tree problem!read less

We had two very large trees taken down. They were both dying, so it made sense to remove them since every windy day or stormy day brought huge chunks of branches down. They arrived at 7:30am and finished both trees by 3:30pm even with an intermittent rainstorm around noon. Very good customer service, and super fast and efficient. Highly recommended!
