Home Services reviews in Newton, Massachusetts

We’d worked with quite a few other tree companies over the years and were not happy with the results. Our trees & bushes really needed TLC from someone who knows his stuff. Adrian came with glowing references and he & his team did a great job for us – on-time, hard-working, lots of communication, and best of all, beautiful pruning so that our trees & shrubs are now healthy & well shaped. Definitely worthy of 5 stars!

I used An Artist's Touch to trim back two large trees and prune ornamental shrubs and smaller trees on my property. I found Adrian and his crew to be extremely diligent and professional. Adrian is very knowledgeable and alleviated my concerns about a newly planted tree that appeared to me to be diseased. He does what he says he is going to do, is responsive, and pleasant. I highly recommend him.

Very professional and friendly service. Adrian was knowledgeable about our hardwoods and what needed to be done. Very prompt returning my calls/emails and was communicative when, due to weather, they could not get to our work as soon as they hoped. Pricing was comparable with at least one other company. The on-site team was also friendly and professional, they did a good job and were careful of our property and our neighbors. We had some trees removed, one cleaned up, and several bushes trimmed back. They were careful to clear the dead stuff and just enough of everything else. It came out just the way I had in mind. They cleaned everything up very well. Definitely can recommend An Artist's Touch for tree & shrub work.

Adrian and his staff person did a great job of pruning all the bushes and trees in our small yard. The plantings look so much better than they did before his visit. Adrian is timely, friendly and helpful, and his prices are reasonable.

It is so great to work with Artist's Touch. This is the third time I've hired them. Adrian and his crew are impeccable. We have gigantic oaks and maple on our property which periodically need dead limbs pruned. Unlike a previous company which came with a cherry picker which made deep ruts and ruined our yard, Adrian's crew climb up the trees themselves with amazing agility. They clean up afterwards very thoroughly. I also trust Adrian's eye completely when it comes to shaping the trees--he has worked with everything from lilacs, cedars, maple and oak for us. Everything done beautifully--AND the are super nice and friendly. Couldn't be happier!

Had a question about trimming a large tree towering over my roof. Adrian was super helpful - I was able to quickly send him some pics and he immediately called back and gave me his expert opinion and recommendation.

Adrian was amazing in assessing and explaining what my river birch trees needed. He was super responsive and did a fantastic job pruning my trees, which now look great and clean.

Adrian is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and fair in pricing. Hiring him again for sure.

Thanks, Adrian!

What a pleasure to find An Artist's Touch for our tree work!

We needed one diseased spruce removed, five tall oaks overhanging our roof pruned, and one lightening-struck dogwood salvaged. Adrian and his crew did just what was promised, on schedule, and left our property cleaner than they found it.

The price was fair and reasonable . . . especially when compared with some of the outlandish bids we received for the same job!

As a former employer, I know that workers reflect the management. And when I mentioned to Adrian that his team seemed to love their job, he told me he hires people who are "smart and nice. Everything else I can teach them."

If you're in need of tree work, An Artist's Touch comes highly recommended.

Having just redone our entire house and done a lot of outdoor work as well, I've met with no fewer than 30 different contractors in the last few years. Most were less than stellar to put it mildly, but Adrian was easily the most professional, genuine and knowledgable I met with. He was understanding, thorough, kind and honestly a joy to work with. I had absolute trust in everything he suggested and all the work he performed. He made some suggestions along the way that I would never have though of on my own and the work was performed exactly as discussed.

He suggested cabling our tree that has two trunks in order to give it more support and minimize the chances of it ever falling. I didn't even know that was an option so I feel much more at ease now knowing our yard is safe for my daughter and our dog.

He and his employees left our yard and driveway cleaner than they were before the work began. After the first day of work, you honestly wouldn't have been able to tell trees had been cut down or branches had been ground up, the job site was that clean.

He even suggested a tree swing for our daughter as she grows older and installed the roping to make it happen. The branches on our trees are 20-30 feet up so there would have been no way for me to do it on my own, so I appreciated that immensely.

I will be saving his number for any future work. I expected his quote to be higher than other companies because they don't use heavy equipment (which can damage your property/driveway) but it was actually less than other tree companies I met with.

I can't recommend Adrian and an Artist's touch highly enough!

Highly recommend calling this company for services, had an animal emergency and Nate was very calming and knowledgeable.

THIS GUY IS THE KING OF TREE COMPANIES! Took his time to teach me about the trees in Newton and how the city works! Stopped what he was doing just to inform me so I can make a good decision. Thank you man.

Great service! Nathan was professional and extremely responsive in helping us on a tight timeline. Highly recommend!

Very impressed with the CFB team. They did a great job and tidied up afterwards. I felt they were responsive, helpful, careful and reasonable throughout. Would definitely recommend.

When my cat climbed a tree and seemed to potentially be stuck up there, I called around to various arborists. Nate was calm and reassuring -- and instead of sending someone right over and charging lots of money, he gave me expert guidance on what to try before calling in a professional. He said that in his experience, 90% of cats "stuck" in trees figure out how to come down on their own in a couple hours, and he gave me tips on what to do to encourage my cat to come down. Sure enough, a couple of hours later, my cat climbed down safely. I am so thankful to Nate for his patient (and free!!) guidance and for going above and beyond, when he could have easily just sent someone over right away and charged me. The next time I have tree service needs I will definitely be calling CFB Newton!!

Nathan is a great guy, very responsive and professional.
We used his company 2 times and both times they did a great job.
I will not look any further when I need a tree work.

I have had Nathan take care of my trees for over 20 years. He is very knowledgeable, fair in his pricing, and shows up when he says he will. On two occasions when I have called him, he has come by just to tell me that trees didn't need any work. He's the best. Look no further.

Nathan and his team did an excellent job cutting several trees in our yard. They responded to our initial call very promptly and even scheduled for work the very next day!! They handled difficult tree work with ease and cleaned up completely for a fair price. A++ 100% Strongly Recommended!!!

Nathan and Joel of CFB Tree Removal did an excellent job removing a large pine tree close to our house. Nathan was very prompt in coming to our house to give us an estimate. He gave us a very reasonable price and did the job the very next day. They were extremely careful lowering heavy branches in order not to damage the house or smaller shrubs. They did a excellent job cleaning up after they were done. I would highly recommend them to do any type of tree removal.

Nathan and his team did an immaculate job with what seemed to us a very difficult task, removing 60-80ft oaks with very little room to operate. The folks at CFB handled their work with great precision and safety. They were very professional and prompt in their work and communication with us. The pricing was competitive, and we are glad we hired them and would highly recommend if you need tree work done. 💯

I ended not hiring their services because I needed someone to do the job sooner
However the person on the phone was so courteous an nice that I felt I should give them 5 stars just for that.

Great company, great service, fair pricing. We had them remove a large dead tree from our yard before we moved into our new home. They did a very professional job and were also a bit less expensive than the other quotes we received. Highly recommend.
