Tree reviews in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is my 2nd time using McFarland, and as always, they never disappoint. They rebuilt my sagging row home patio, built new steps to the back alley, and built and installed an alley door. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I was impressed with their extraordinary attention to detail and oversight for the project.

No regard for people at all. They saw the other end of the road was blocked by aqua doing work and proceeded to set up a crane blocking in 20 plus houses without even a knock or heads up aqua had been there for almost a month working so they had to know about it. Zero common courtesy. They were also recklessly dropping branches right by neighbors cars still again without going around trying to ask people to move them

I'm a property manager and have used McFarland for years at all my properties. I also use them for my own property in Mt Airy. Any time I need tree work done or trees planted they come out very quickly and do a professional job. They guarantee all their work. Great company!

I wanted then to prune the tree, remove dead/dying branches. They didn't tell me when they were coming. When I got home the job was done and they removed the branches. They didn't clean the dropped needles. I called them back for the branches with a 3 foot gap. I still have one or two. Staff is very nice and professional. Pricing is adequate. I will call again. But, I will be home when the work is done.

Nick and his crew were spectacular! Extremely professional, knowledgeable, and great at communicating along the way. I would highly recommend McFarland to my family and friends.

Greg and his crew do an excellent job! Greg is very knowledgeable and carefully explains the why's and how's of tree work that promotes proper growth. We've had them tackle some big jobs and have been so impressed every time with their work! I will be using them for all my properties!

Horrible company. They are currently out on 20th and Lombard dropping huge branches on cars in an area that was never coned off. I approached the guys doing the work and they said it’s not their problem. I called and hopefully they stop. I’m lucky I saw my car being hit. The other people most likely have damage and aren’t going to know why.

McFarland landscapers are one of the most professionals and well run landscapers in the Philadelphia area. For years they have been landscaping my home as well as many of my neighbors homes. When I was planning a park cleanup at Wharton Square Park in Point Breeze, I reached out and within 24 hours got a response from Paul Morano, one of their outdoor living specialists, about a giant donations of wood chips they could donate. Overall, a very well run, organized and professional organization who should be first on your list to do your job!

Peter McFarland and his professional crew have created, cared for, and protected our beautifully landscaped property for almost a decade! The grass, trees, shrubs and hardscape are well maintained and treated for diseases and pests. Trees have been removed and stumps ground out same day! He even has a professional team of specialists who can fell a gigantic white pine tree with minimal disruption and they prune these trees for us like nothing we have ever seen. The entire property is sprayed for ticks each month to protect my dogs who are free to roam inside our fence. The trees are treated to protect them from invasive species of bugs and diseases. Nothing is harmful for my dogs! The 400+ trees and shrubs he has planted are healthy and big, blending in seamlessly with our mature landscaping. His pricing is fair and all services are individually priced. He shows up! He shows up when he says he will show up! He'll take care of your property without you being there. His crew will happily accommodate on site requests. His crew will wave hello!

I was highly impressed with how quickly and cleanly they removed a large Elm tree that was too close to my house. The team accidently broke one of my windows and was quick to inform me and apologize- I understand accidents happen.

What completely baffles me is that two weeks and several calls later, the Arborist that scheduled the work has refused to return my calls in relation to getting the window replaced. He even stopped by my house when I wasn't home without notifying me (I assume to inspect the damage), but couldn't find the time to call? Highly unprofessional and frankly for this level of service I can get my landscaping done for far less elsewhere.

I had a tree removed in my backyard by McFarland. Nick and his crew were very responsive, incredibly nice, and did an unbelievably good job cleaning up afterwards. I had actually hired a cleaning service to come and cancelled them after seeing what a great job McFarland had done!

My neighbor was having her tree trimmed by McFarland last week. I stepped outside my house to ask one of the workers for advice on how I should go about removing a very large dead branch from one of my own trees. The worker showed me where I'd need to make the cut. I thanked him for the advice and went back inside my house. An hour later I opened my front door to discover that McFarland had removed and taken away the branch for me. They didn't even bother to tell me or stick around for a thank you or a tip--they just did it because they were decent human beings. If I ever need a tree trimmer, I know who I'll be calling. Thank you, McFarland!

It was a pleasure doing business with McFarland tree service. I received an itemized quote in detail after a thorough assessment by the arborist. All tree work was done professionally and artistically .Debris removal was complete and the garden looked beautiful at the end of the job.
I have 100% confidence in recommending this company .

I have been a customer of McFarland Tree and Landscape Services for over thirty years. They have been invaluable in helping maintain the large trees on my property, and I am impressed with Peter's expertise and judgement. His crews are well-trained and very pleasant to work with.

McFarland has maintained my Center City patio for 15+ years. It is not a hospitable environment for greenery. The company provides seasonal care and replacement, when needed, of trees, shrubs and hardscape. Peter McFarland is a knowledgeable professional and willing problem solver. He is readily available if I have a concern. The men who do the work are friendly, courteous and prompt. The company also maintains the trees and landscape within my townhouse complex. These greatly enhances it's appearance. I strongly recommend McFarland.

At the beginning of summer I had bamboo removed from my back patio. Unfortunately, many of the roots were retained and new shoots repopulated. Nick came and assessed the issue and provided a fair and competitive estimate.
Nick and his team’s performance was outstanding. The project was about a day and half, the crew provided me with updates and brought in additional equipment to ensure all roots were removed. They hardscaped the area and also resealed the flagstone, which had come loose. The patio now looks better than ever.
Nick and his team completed the work on time and truly went beyond expectations at removing all the bamboo and retained roots. Overall, a tremendous job completed and would highly recommend them.

Nick and company have helped with a number of projects in my little city courtyard. They have helped with ivy trimming, removed wisteria stumps, mended my brick wall and patched my back steps. Nick is always easy to communicate with, and the team is always friendly, professional, and do great work. I highly recommend them and look forward to using their services again.

Nick and his crew did a fantastic job for my homeowners association. We’ve used McFarland for years to maintain our trees. They recently completed hardscaping work to re-level bricks that were disrupted by tree roots, and a separate project to improve our drainage. Nick came up with a design that expanded the drainage path and area around our drain. The crew re-leveled the whole area so rain water flows properly toward the drain, laid an expanded brick pathway, modified the surrounding garden bed and stone border to accommodate the new drainage area, and installed a new drain cover. We no longer have inches of sitting water during heavy rain storms. I highly recommend McFarland and would use them for future hardscaping projects.

McFarland's has done outstanding work for me. I appreciate Peter McFarland's expertise and the meticulous work done by his crews. This week's wind storm irreparably damaged the big Bradford pear tree in my tiny Center City backyard. Peter came the afternoon of the storm to assess the situation, and had a crew at my house the next morning. I will always appreciate the prompt attention to my serious problem, and the care with which the tree was removed. The crew also did a great job cleaning up both my backyard and the street in front of my house. Thank you, McFarland's!

I was lucky enough to stumble upon McFarland after several attempts trying to get other companies on board to do the work. Nick from McFarland came out to my home the day I called, he understood what I wanted and told me.he could see it. My expectations of the end product and his vision was/is perfect! My front and backyard are amazing....Thanks Nick!

My center city front tree and backyard have been expertly cared for and nurtured to beauty for decades. I have nothing but the highest praise to say about them. My back yard faces north and is shaded by neighboring trees. It is difficult to maintain trees, bushes, and a garden under these conditions. Likewise my now very tall and beautiful front tree, challenged by all manner of urban dangers. McFarland has not only consistently given accurate expert advice but the care has allowed all I mentioned to absolutely flourish through the years. Several of my neighbors began to use McFarland services after they saw the lovely results outside my home. Further, the workers arrive absolutely promptly, leave everything totally neat and swept clean. The office person is friendly and efficient. Peter McFarland runs a terrific business!
