Home Services reviews in Chapel Hill, North Carolina

We needed multiple large trees around our house removed (wooded area). Lubbers & Sons were the only ones to provide a detailed estimate breaking down all costs and listing options.

They did the work in the days they had planned, were careful not to damage any property or vegetation, and left the work areas cleaner that when they arrived.

We were very happy with their work!

I simply do not have enough great things to say about Lubbers and Sons. They are knowledgeable, professional, fair, kind, and do a great job. I use them personally and professionally. I've recommended them since the first day I met them and will do for many years.

I can't say enough great things about the work Lubbers performed for us. During one of the recent storms, we had one side of a very large double tree fall. Sasha came out quickly and evaluated the other half that seemed very dangerous. They gave great advice, brought in a crane and took out the other side of the tree. While they were there, we had a few other large trees removed (took advantage of the crane being onsite). So in total, Lubbers removed 4 very large trees in one working day. All personal were kind, nice and very professional. I give them the highest rating possible and would not hesitate to hire them again. Robert Joyce in Mebane

I had a great experience with Lubbers & Sons Tree Care. I needed to have a maple tree removed from my front yard as well as some dead limbs removed from an adjacent oak tree. The work was scheduled and completed quickly, and the yard debris was cleaned up exceptionally well.

Sosha and the team at Lubbers are knowledgeable, responsive, fair, and really a pleasure to work with. They did some manicuring of a very large and old oak tree in our back yard. It was encroaching on utility lines as well as our home, and they carefully and efficiently took care of it without diminishing the beauty of the tree canopy. Highly recommend!

We have used Lubbers & Sons on several separate occasions for tree care and removal and they are fantastic!
Sosha and Tommy are incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, professional, and they clearly love what they do. They are thoughtful and engaged while touring your property, really listening to your concerns and offering solutions based on your needs. Part of what I appreciated the most about them is they are focused on preserving the trees if at all possible rather than being too quick to take them down. Their pricing is fair, and they really take the time to answer any questions or concerns you have throughout the process from start to finish.
My husband is a contractor and he routinely recommended them to his clients if they have any need for tree care or removal. We have also recommended them to friends, family and neighbors, and have heard glowing reviews across the board. They are simply the best in the business!

We recently bought a house on a heavily wooded lot. It’s a joy to be living amidst nature however, since the house was built, some of the trees had started taking over large areas of the original and intended yard. Several trees – because of hands off previous maintenance – had started leaning towards the house with tree branches almost touching the second floor and roots steadily marching towards the foundation. In all, a potentially threating situation in terms of safety. We didn’t want to wait for a storm to find that out.

Preparation
We found and reached out to Lubbers & Sons Tree Care. Sosha, a licensed arborist from Lubbers visited the house and reviewed each tree on the periphery of the house sharing opinion on tree health, prognosis, level of potential threat (or not), direction of future growth etc. She took copious notes for each of the trees, carefully identifying each tree under question and providing reasons for solving/retaining/steps for future health of the tree. Her notes helped me present my case to our HOA to seek permission for tree care and removal activities on the lot including cutting and pruning. Additionally, Sosha worked with me to find the right schedule and was extremely accommodative. A couple of days before the scheduled job, Tommy (crew leader at Lubbers) met with me to explain in detail the whole projects and ensure we are all aligned on specific trees and pathways for equipment etc. Tommy took special care to understand the location of utilities and equipment sensitive areas on the lot.

Project
Lubbers has an experienced crew and sophisticated machinery for a variety of tree care jobs. The team arrived well in time and provided a brief intro to me and instructions for safety. I was impressed with the focus on safety as I observed them prepare for the work. Since there was heavy equipment on the lot as well as in the neighborhood, the Lubbers crew took special care and made adequate preparations and signs to demarcate equipment and work areas to keep everybody alert.

Tree by tree, the team approached the project methodically, taking time to do the pruning, clearing vegetation, clearing limbs all the way to the top and then removing the trees that needed to be removed. Here I would like to mention that there was a huge oak almost leaning against the wall. It hurts me to let that tree go but it was an extreme hazard because of the way it was jutting against the house. The Lubbers crew invested significant time to prepare and remove the tree – this took the better part of a day! Some of other trees including extremely tall pines were quite challenging as well due to the height and mass as well as the harm potential. The Lubbers team made good work of the entire project in the three days that they were here. If we discovered additional needs during the project they were able to take care of those as well – for instance there were several overgrown bushes that needed to be removed – which the team did. Additionally, they also cleared up vegetation/ undergrowth that was directly in the path of the trees being removed.

The team showed up early, worked through the day, and cleaned up after each day’s work. Lubbers had all the equipment needed for on site removal and mulching of all the vegetation and they took special care to not leave anything else disturbed. They didn’t even leave equipment tire marks on the lot.

Overall Observations
I am extremely happy with the project that Lubbers and Sons delivered on. I am impressed with their professionalism, focus on crew and resident safety, knowledge and experience, advanced equipment, and just the overall optimistic and collaborative approach. They delivered on what they promised and they did it extremely well. I highly recommend them for any small or large tree related project.

Thank you Sosha, Tommy, and rest of the Lubbers & Sons crew!

We had Lubbers & Sons Tree Care out to our farm 3 times this past year - each visit for very different situations. They were very professional with clear communication, detailed estimates, and just all around excellent work. The 1st job they did for us was to take down a dead tree and another tree with cleaning up debris near it. They did an excellent job! The 2nd job they did for us, they cleaned up an extensive amount of debris along our long driveway and other areas that another tree service had left, as well as taking down more trees that needed to be cleared. They did exactly what we needed done and the area was left immaculate. The 3rd job required them to go out in our pastures and take down various trees leaning over our fencelines - they did a super job and cleaned everything up. Besides being excellent in their work, they are also very nice people to work with! I highly recommend them.

Experienced, professional, talented, hardworking, and on time crew.
Socha and Tommy are extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.
Super safety conscious with excellent communication.
Lubbers and Sons felled a bunch of really big close in trees way beyond my DIY comfort level as part of our home storm resiliency strategy.
Hate to cut a beautiful tree but if you need it done this is (IMO) the outfit to do it. Its a dangerous business some jobs are best left to the pros.

The end to end process was great … starting with solid advice re: work we were interested in to not simply remove trees but protect others, getting a prompt and reasonable quote, quick scheduling, and most importantly Tommy and team were extremely professional, highly skilled and efficient. Best tree service company I have ever worked with. Highly recommend…

I called Lubbers to have two trees removed from my property in Chapel Hill. One tree was a white oak, about 15 inches around and the other was a sweet gum, about 20 inches around. Both trees had large crowns and were in a crowded environment so they both needed their tops removed before felling. Lubbers was easy to work with, worked with my schedule, showed up when they said they would and brought down the two trees with no problems. They are now in my contact list for any more tree work I'll need in the future. I would absolutely use Lubbers again. So, high praise for these guys!

We can highly recommend Lubbers & Sons. The office and crew are very knowledgable and easy to work with. The on-sight crew took the time to show us the actual issue with our old tree which was a great learning experience for everyone. The take down was as quiet as it could be and they did a good job cleaning up afterwards. Thanks for everything.

You’re in great hands with Lubbers and Sons. All around knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. Sosha is clearly an expert in her field. She explained her recommendations for what we need to do to keep our trees healthy, and gave us lots of options so we could do what worked best for us. Tommy and his crew were excellent. They were timely and considerate- taking great care to ensure their work didn’t impact our neighbors. Tommy took time to confirm and explain the work he was doing. We were super happy with the results. Everything was left tidy and our trees are happier!

Sosha and her team provide reliable, responsive, and excellent service and care for our trees. We couldn't be happier. Highly recommend them.

New to the area, and asked Lubber and Sons for help with backyard trees. Sosha and Tommy are great! Both personable and professional... always kept us informed regarding scheduled work, arrival times, etc. Explained what needed to be done, and why. Never tried to sell us something we didn't need. AND, these folks are quite knowledgeable and competent. We will continue to ask Lubbers to take care of all our trees! You should, too!

Awesome local small business! Always able to offer suggestions and advice. Prompt and reliable service. Highly recommend Sosha, Tommy, and the team!

L&STC gave us a competitive price to cut down 3 trees. Two trees were heavily leaning over the roof of the house & the 3rd trees was a large dead tree. The trees were safely climbed & cut/lowered to the ground.
The crew was fast, safe & on time.
Good job!

Great experience both on the admin and the work side of things. Very communicative, the crew were professional and even moved some of my wife's plants for us before starting to make sure they weren't damaged. Will be recommending them to others in the neighborhood and keep them on call myself for when we need more work done.

Great experience working with Lubber And Sons Tree care. They really know and understand what the clients are seeking. And provide great service.

They were very professional. Our trees look great and they did a good job of cleaning everything up. I would definitely use them again.

I have used this company for a few tree projects. They are kind, professional, communicate well, work efficiently, maintain great safety standards, and leave the yard in great condition. I would use them again for sure.
