Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness
Asked to schedule time for an estimate (told him that I'd be available any time in next 2 days). Said he would call in the afternoon the next day, or the next morning. Neither happened. No call back. No answer when I tried to call back again. Assuming no emergency occurred - this was really unprofessional.

Owner is one of the best guys I've ever met. There's not many like him around anymore. If you want top notch tree service, from someone who truly cares about the trees, Baer is your man!!

They were fantastic. Baer and his team trimmed a massive river birch tree and a lilac tree for us in the heart of Newport. Both trees look gorgeous and much happier. Everything was cleaned up and taken away and the whole process was as non-disruptive as it could be. Loved them.

If you are on Aquidneck island or close, you should use Island Tree service for any tree work you need to be completed. I called and spoke with Bear, we never met, but I had a great feeling right from the start. When the guys came to do the job they were so nice and double-checked all of my requests. I had to leave the house and I hoped it would all be done as we had discussed. Holy Cow! They did exactly what I asked and didn't leave so much as a leaf in my yard! The giant tree was gone and not a single bit of mess was left behind. All of the wood from the tree they cut down was stacked to

Island Tree Service and owner, BAER, are very responsive and helpful.
At my request, Baer came by to check to see if one of my trees was diseased or having a problem. It appeared the leaves were turning brown ( in spring) and we were concerned.
Baer came promptly, and gave our tree a clean bill of health, and didn't even charge us, since he had done extensive tree trimming work for us in the past.
We are very pleased with Island Tree Service!

They did a great job! Not only was it last minute (they were working on my neighbors trees & I asked if they could work on one of mine as well), but they were all SO nice. Bear as well as a couple of the guys were so knowledgeable, & they told me a ton about the tree that Id never known. It was very informative & interesting! They did a beautiful job on a HUGE Pine tree, & the clean up was super! & they were so fast! thank you!

Baer and his crew were an extraordinary team of experts. Their knowledge of trees and care and consideration of all aspects of tree trimming was really outstanding... From the trees, to the care of the surrounding grounds (on an historical property) and the personal property that needed temporary relocation while working on the project. They fit me into my very restricted schedule, they were on time, they were so friendly and nice to work with and reaamsonably priced, and they finished off the large job of working on 4 large trees with an immaculate cleanup. We were so happy with the complete

The owner backended my car with my 21 month old grandson in the back. He admitted fault and promised to pay for my repairs. My insurance and I have contacted him and he had not paid and has not responded. He did not keep his word.

Needed some trees topped and the Island Tree Service boys showed up on time and worked really quickly. They are all quite the characters, but their work speaks for itself. The tree beautification crew did just that now my trees are prettier than ever

We called the Company at 3:00 in the afternoon and Baer was at our house by 5:30 the same day. He provided us with a quote and performed the work the next day. He and his team did an excellent job and all the neighbors came over and asked him to work on their trees as well. Great experience and would use them again any day.
