Tree reviews in Durham, North Carolina

When we needed nine LARGE pines removed, from a house and yard where we will be 'downsizing', I didn't bother with the tree folks I knew but checked around and called several others; wasn't very comfortable with any - (due to prior experience). The folks next door to our present house gave a very strong referral for Broadleaf for the quality of work and reasonable price. In the first five minutes on the phone with Blake, I knew we had found the right tree service! And that was reinforced in phone and personal contact. There were no 'red flags' at all. I had no problems or issues with any of his ideas and suggestions and was very pleased with the price I thought was an estimate - no, that was his contract price!

I promised (unbidden) that I would not interfere or 'supervise' but I just had to show up sometimes to watch, careful to stay out their way. Which we did in parking 'up the street' and walking down. They were led by one of the partners and it was apparent that each man knew his role and job and was by far the most efficient tree crew I've ever seen (and heard) many where there was a lot of shouting and yelling and seeming to figure it out as they went along). Not here, any shouting was communication & detail from 120' feet up to the ground. Since there was so much tree to deal with the timeframe was tad loose and it took a bit less than 3 days including cleanup. We are very grateful we 'found' Broadleaf.

Out of several companies contacted, BroadLeaf Tree and Shrub was the one with the most thorough onsite assessment and review of options and most detailed estimate. BroadLeafs pricing was very competitive, more than fair I would say, and it was one of the few companies that would provide an estimate without a charge.
Mr. Mills took considerable time to explain the pros and cons of several options and shared willingly his knowledge and advice.
Unlike some other companies, I was not talked or pressured into unnecessary work.Onsite work and cleanup were timely and of excellent quality.
These guys are an absolute pleasure to do business with, and we will certainly call them back next time we have tree care needs.

I just had structural pruning done on two mature white oak trees by Broadleaf Tree and Shrub, and I could not be happier with their work. The workers were very competent and professional, and they did a great job both with the work and with the clean-up. Highly recommended!

BroadLeaf Tree and Shrub has been, by far, the best tree and shrub contractor that has ever worked on our yard. The owner, Blake, is incredibly knowledgeable arborist who knows how to make every plant on the yard thrive. Unlike other contractors, he shows up himself to supervise the work and talks to you if any issues come out. Highest recommendation.

I've contracted BroadLeaf twice to remove and prune trees at two different properties. Both times, they've delivered high quality, efficient work that meets my expectations - and for a fair price. I will certainly use their services again in the future.

I would highly recommend Broadleaf Tree & Shrub Service. We had several large trees that needed to come down. From the estimate process through works completion Broadleaf was always upfront and delivered on their promises. One of the trees being removed was in a particularly tight, hard to reach spot but Broadleaf handled it professionally and without damage to other trees, shrubs and house. Thank you Broadleaf.

I needed three trees removed from my back yard and was in the process of getting quotes from two other contractors. Broadleaf was removing some trees for a neighbor. I watched them work and felt they were doing a great job so I asked for quote to remove the three trees in my back yard. When Blake come by later to do the estimate, we talked a bit and I also asked that he price out some additional pruning in addition to the tree removal. He clearly was knowledgeable and worked with me on the plan for access and protection of existing plantings, etc. The quote was very competitive and based upon that, the example of the work from next door, and my interaction with Blake I gave them to the go ahead to do the work instead of the others. Blake's team showed up on time and on the expected day and everything went perfectly. They took measures to be careful with the items I had called out earlier. The pruning work was also excellent and should help the health of a large tree in our front year. When cleaning up after they were done, they clearly were not just trying to get out quick but worked hard to make sure it was completely cleaned up and that we were happy. In summary, we are very happy and have no reservations on recommending Broadleaf.

Blake and his two person crew's workmanship was awesome. The were very professional and extremely competent. And most importantly, the cleanup once the work was done was unbelievable. I strongly recommend Broadleaf Tree and Shrub Company.

Blake and his team of Arborist did a very professional job of evaluating the project to see what resources he would need to safely remove 6 large trees, all standing within 10 ft of our house. The job was rather large and took 2 days but his men showed up precisely on time and finished the job slightly ahead of schedule. They did an excellent job of cleaning up all of the wood and pine needle debris that happened to fall in the yard or on the roof and deck. After they left, the only evidence that they were there were the remaining stumps which I had not asked them to grind.

I prefer to use locally owned businesses for contract work in general which is why I interviewed Blake along with two others. The prices from the other two contractors that I did not choose were competitive with Blake's but I appreciated the care that he took during the estimation and evaluation process more so than the other two.

Blake and his partner spent more than a dozen years learning the tree removal trade from large national companies who provided him with excellent training and certification would she brought to his own company several years ago.

For a small contractor, I really appreciated the professionalism that he and his partner showed throughout the whole project, it was very impressive and I'm glad I chose them. I've already recommended his company to two of my neighbors.

Blake was extremely professional and responsive. He responded promptly to all communications and worked with me to get me a estimate and quick turnaround on the work. Estimate came in at a very reasonable price point. Tree crew was professional and courteous, and work was finished quickly and cleanly. Blake was available throughout to address my questions and concerns. Overall a great experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with BroadLeaf again in the future or to recommend their services to someone else.

After having several tree services come out to give an estimate for the work we needed on our property, Broadleaf Tree and Shrub was easy to hire. Blake came out and gave an estimate that included great information on the health of our trees. The estimate was fair and the team that came out to do the work was very impressive. We were fascinated with their skill and ability to handle the job. Blake also contacted and scheduled the stump grinder who was also professional and did a good job. We have Broadleaf Tree and Shrub in our permanent file and won't hesitate to call them again when we need a tree trimming or otherwise. We highly recommend them.

We are consistently impressed with the quality of work they provide. They are knowledgeable and easy to work with. We’ve been using them exclusively for the past four years and plan to continue using them to maintain our wooded lot.

The BroadLeaf team was excellent from start to finish. We had 20-30 trees removed and we are very pleased with the result. Communication was excellent, quote was more than competitive, work was efficient and clean (they used a crane for our large job), follow-up was great. Blake and his team care about the quality of their work and run a solid business. Don't hesitate to use their services - we certainly will call them every time we need tree work done. Thank you to the BroadLeaf team.

Broadleaf Tree and Shrub did an excellent job removing several large pines from our property. They are professional and left our yard spotless upon completing the job. I highly recommend them for all your tree and plant health care needs.

Blake and the team were very professional and meticulous. Blake gave me a detailed quote in advance that was very reasonable. The team arrived on time with all the necessary equipment and made quick work of our complicated job of trimming and tree removal. They were all friendly and courteous. I will definitely be calling them back for future work. Highly recommended.

I contacted Broadleaf after seeing the great job they did at my neighbor's house. Their work was great. They were very professional, worked quickly and when they were done I could barely tell they'd been here. I would recommend them to anyone in the area who needs tree services.

This was our second time using Broadleaf Tree & Shrub for a tree project. The quote was very reasonable, especially for the high quality of service. Several trees were removed, while others were pruned and thinned for better growth. The team (Mitch and Jacob) arrived on time. They were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The work performed was outstanding and we were kept in the loop throughout the process. The worksite was left clean and organized. We could not be happier. If you are looking for a trusted tree contractor at a fair price, Broadleaf Tree & Shrub is the way to go!

We have used Broadleaf Tree to clear trees from our house twice.
Both times their quotes were reasonable and in line with other quotes we received. They did the job quickly, and cleaned up very well.

Amazing job! We had over 20 trees removed with a crane from our property. Everyone in the crew was polite, professional, and courteous. The process never seemed rushed and went very smooth. The cleaned up was spot on and no time was wasted. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Can't say enough about how great of a job this company did. Thank you. Will definitely use this company in the future.

Very fast & friendly when giving us a quote for storm clean up! Their crew was very efficient, safe and impressive! We had a large tree on the roof and the crew came with a crane and took care of it quickly and expertly! Highly recommend

Of the three business quoting removal of a large tree BroadLeaf responded quickly and professionally from the start of the project. Throughout the project the team communicated next steps and all expectations were met or exceeded. After arriving on-time it was very impressive how fast the team was able to complete their work and leave the job site clean and organized. Will definitely use BroadLeaf for future projects!
