Birchcrest is by far the best in the business. They are very professional, courteous and amazing workers. They were the MOST reasonable with their prices and I had quite a few estimates. They were extremely fair and not eager to rake me over the coals. I am very impressed and would highly recommend Birchcrest with an A+++. Thank you

This company is awful! Came home to a tree that broke my roof on my shed! No note! no call! If I could give zero stars I would! I called a real company to come take down a branch and they came before they showed up and ruin a brand new shed! This company has no values and I hope that this review helps someone stay away from ever using them! They also left the branch so I can’t get into the shed! Called to tell them and they laughed and hung up!

If I could give them 10 stars I would. I had a walkway and a patio along with some plants installed and I could not be more happier. Justin and Scott are absolutely amazing and I would have no problem hiring them again for any future projects. They went above and beyond. Not sure why the negative reviews from others but I am thoroughly impressed. From the time I made the first call to the very end of the project everyone I encountered was very helpful and answered all my questions and concerns quickly. Thank you for being a fair an honest company!

AVOID IF YOU CAN!RGE contracted this company to Prune around our power lines. I was alerted to their presence trampling my gardens in the backyard when I attempted to let my dogs out. The crewman had said hed just jumped the 6 foot fence and didnt know anyone was home. He of course made no attempt to come and knock on the front door, or the back he was busy trespassing into find out. I unlocked the gate for him and his team so they could more easily come and go getting all the branches out and the foremen assured me theyd just be pruning back the branches that came within 15 of the lines. I went back inside to continue working and then noticed out the windows that they had no idea what 15 was. The trunk of my tree is 15 from the fence and grows away from the fence line. The power pole is another 6 on the other side of the fence so these branches were trimmed 20+ regardless of their height, growing direction, or proximity to the lines themselves. Some of them needed to be cut back sure, maybe even outright removed, but cutting every single branch on one side of a tree all the way back to the trunk? Thats just lazy and poor workmanship.I came back outside as they were finishing up my first tree. They had decided distance from the lines didn’t matter, and basically took off every branch at the trunk even remotely growing towards the fence. Branches that were well past 15’ and growing perpendicular were gone. Shade over my shed and gardens gone. Mature branches that grew 10 below the lines and were drooping presenting no danger of ever interfering with lines under the heaviest of winds were gone. My tree now looks like someone took an arbitrary line and removed everything on one side of it. Before pic is last one.The gardens, plants, and shrubs that were not stepped on or had branches dropped 20+ feet onto them will likely still die as any shade on that side of the yard is now completely gone. My wife and I spoke to the workers and foreman and received rude rebuffs from the crew while the foreman was a bit more understanding. He apologized and said that yes it’s a poorly done job, and that they clearly took too much, but chalked it up to some guys being better on the saw than others. Thanks for giving me your B squad after Id already come out and spoke with you for jumping my fence and breaking into my yard. I was thankfully able to convince him to leave the second tree for another day when he can bring his best team and do the job properly.Their contract, with RGE, was to trim and prune branches that could endanger the lines. Thats fine, expected, and appreciated. Instead they simply hacked everything back to the trunk of the tree because it was easier, quicker, and it wasnt their property to worry about. Youd expect a little bit more from a team headed by an arborist with two degrees to know a little better about pruning.The tree looks awful, the workers were unprofessional and rude. Anyone reading this should strongly consider someone else if you need tree services in the future. We will be lodging a complaint with RGE as well, and we fully expect someone to compensate us for all the plants and gardens they ruined. God I cannot imagine how much worse itd be had I not been in my home office.

Trees were cut down in the small parking lot where I park every day and I had to park on the street. When I returned to my parking space at night, I backed in to a giant tree they left right in the middle of my parking space... I called and they said they wouldn’t cover any possible costs, even though they were negligent and created the hazard... let alone in the dark where visibility is reduced. This company clearly doesn’t want to take any responsibility for something that is partially their fault. *the company is lying in their response to this. One minute they say it was there before they came, the next minute they say it fell after they left. They’re lying through their teeth to save face and save responsibility. Shady.*

They came out and did work along the power lines. They left large limbs in my yard and broke my fence. If they cut the limbs up to manageable pieces I would not have minded, but they left 20+ foot long limbs in my yard. When I called customer service to see when they would be out to clean it up they told me it was my responsibility... Now I have to go to the hardware store to buy a chain saw to clean up after them, and lumber to fix the broken fence.**Update: The day after writing my review Birchcrest did reach out to me and let me know they would be cleaning up the mess they left in my back yard, but continued to reiterate that they usually do not do that and that it is the responsibility of the home owner. At the end of my conversation with them they requested that I updated my review, which leads me to ask the question, Would they have done anything if not for my review?That being said they came out a day or two later and cleaned up the 2 large branches they left behind. The crew was a little snippy with my wife and father in law when they came out to clean it up, but that may have been because of all the overtime they were forced to work due to the wind storm.The fence is still broken and there is a large 5 foot by one foot log balancing in the tree above the fence that I mentioned to them on the phone the first time but apparently that isnt there problem because it is touching the fiber optic and cable lines not the power lines. I just have to make sure not to let me son play in that part of the yard till I can get someone else out here to finish the job.

In 2010 I had major landscaping done it was over $50,000. The designer way oversold me as the plants are not spaced out far enough and are too many for the areas planted. But that is not the problem, I was never schooled on how to care for the water feature I had to research the maintenance myself,but again that is not the problem. A dogwood tree they planted had to be replaced in 2011 it was under guarantee but I had to argue to get it replaced,but they did. The problem is the one they replaced it with has never grown and is so feeble I had the cornell cooperative come out. They diagnosed it to have girdled roots. So After looking and hoping fertilization and watering would make it flourish I decided to dig it up and see if I could trim the root ball and save the tree.As I dug carefully around the roots I noticed the tree was very loose. When I lifted it pulled right out I noticed the wire mesh was never removed nor was the burlap cut back. There were only sucker roots and no main shoots after being in the ground for almost 10 years I dont know if it will survive but I could never recommend Dave Dailey or birchcrest to anyone in good conscience! Very sorry to have to write this but I called Dave today and he hasnt returned my call.

The company has the RGE contract for tree trimming around power lines. They completely ruined my maple tree. totally gutted it, The tree will never be the same to the point I will need to have it removed. Based on the rest of the reviews I am surprised to see the current rating. They would get zero stars if I could go that low on the rating.. I would never hire this scab outfit., Save your self a headache and please go else where for tree and Landscaping services.

Birchcrest recently completed a job at my house and I was very impressed with the team. Not only did they do a great good executing the job I had contract them to do (tree trimming and tree removal), but they went above and beyond. At the last minute I had decided that I wanted to keep some of the wood from the trees they were removing. They picked out the best wood for me to keep since it would burn better (Cherry instead of Box Elder), and neatly stacked it next to my fire pit. I was assuming they would just leave it for me to cut and stack, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw what they had done.

We had 4 large oak trees removed from our property as they had grown too close to our home for my comfort level. Beaver was our first contact with Birchcrest as he came to evaluate our situation and gave us his recommendation. Justin and his crew showed up on time to perform the work and their performance and professionalism was exemplary. The office staff were very helpful as well. I will use them again for any future tree work and I highly recommend this fine company.

RGE has a contract with Birchcrest Tree Service to conduct tree trimming of RGE power lines. Having said that Birchcrest conducted a tree and limb service in the Maplewood, 10th ward, area of Rochester about 2nd week of May 2021. The crew consisted of about 12 personnel or more. Im retired, so Im home the majority of time and spent some time watching them work. I even supplied bottled water to the crew. It wasnt until after they left the area that the next day I noticed the very obvious classic V notch gouges of the climbers spikes in my beautiful Red Oak tree. There were about 15 or 20 of these tear outs in the tree bark. It did not make sense why they climbed my tree and did this irreversible damage. I could see where they cut ONE small limb off that was 2 or less in diameter at the tree that was not within 15 feet of the power lines and absolutely no threat to the power lines now or 15 yrs from now. I later learned from another tree arborist that the reason they do this is to further bill RGE more money. I have no way to verify this. The damage from these V spike cuts create wintering hibernation pockets for insects, thus also inviting woodpeckers, Hairy, Downy, Redheaded and Pileated, which all are visitors to my yard. The woodpeckers then go after the insects further damaging and enlarging the cavities . The Pileated Woodpeckers remove chunks of the tree that would make Pail Bunyon proud. So I called Birchcrest and I asked lady in office who was very nice to speak to a supervisor or boss. She transferred to another female who claimed to be a supervisor. I explained the entire issue to the supervisor that was less than accommodating and sense of borderline rude, like I was bothering her. I asked why they did not come to my door and ask or inquire and her response was because of Covid we do not do that which was total bullsh*t, because as I sat on my front porch I witnessed two of the guys in their tree climbing belts knock on the front door two houses away and engage in conversation with the homeowner from about two feet away. I then told this self proclaimed supervisor that I wanted a Boss, Foreman to come to my house so I could point out the tree marks and have him attempt to try explain to me how or why this happened, and try and justify it. She said I would hear back soon...So I asked define soon. She said she would have crew boss or she herself would call back in a day or two. We then hung up. I gave them the opportunity and their 2 day time period to respond has come and gone, and now its over 10 days and they have not made any attempt at calling me back, or contacting me at my address, which they had., So now I contact RGE who hires them and my lawyer to send a letter notice of tree damage suit.....Then they will have to respond. Ver poor way of running a business,

We’ve used Brenda with Birchcrest for the past 3 years from planting trees, to weed control, to spring clean up, pavers, and mulching. I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with this company, if you are looking for any lawn maintenance, stop looking and call Birchcrest.

They leave a mess for the customer to clean up. If they break something while working with the bucket, they never mentioned it and ignored it. When they are contracting out for RGE, they dont use good judgement on how the trees will look once they have butchered them. Very unhappy.

Schedule an appointment with this company. On the appointment day, I was told that they made a mistake on the scheduling and had to reschedule. So rescheduled, but on the appointment date, I came home from work to wait for over 30 mins, and no body showed up!!! I was again told that they made another mistake with the scheduling!!! How can you trust a company who keeps making mistakes on very simple thing--scheduling an appointment!! They seem not to care about others time!!!

I get that trimming around the power lines is necessary. But one would think if you have to remove 90% of the vegetation they would just take the whole damn tree down. What a lovely vertical log they left us. Id give one star but at least one of them was thoughtful enough to close our gate on the way out.

Birchcrest came along the power lines and trimmed the trees in our neighborhood. The basics removed one side of a large tree that was 10 feet from the power line and left trees that we closed to the power line. It was basically a hacker job of the tree.

I scheduled an appointment and had to wait several weeks for the actual date. When no one arrived on the date and time scheduled, I called later to see if the person was running behind. I was told that they should have been there and when I shared that they hadnt been, was offered to reschedule for next month. When I asked if they were able to check with the employee to see if they were still coming today, I was more or less told no and could tell the Birchcrest employee couldnt get me off of the phone fast enough. I couldnt believe the complete lack of customer service but wont be contacting Birchcrest again and will be sure to share my experience with others.

I called to get a quote for re-doing my whole backyard. I was told they would be out to give me a quote. Well its a month later and no phone call or quote was received. I called back twice to check on the status and was told he was on vacation and would be out the next day. Still no quote or call back. I had cash in hand ready to give to this company. Guess they were too busy to keep.up with a potential customer. Your loss.At least call your potential customers back. Poor customer service.

Never go anywhere else. We have used them frequently. They are the best, the most knowledgable ones around. They are fast, when speed is imperative. They are clean and very safety conscious. They might be a little pricey, but do not skimp on this, the most important service your property will ever require. Highest recommendations.

Review №42

I wish that I could leave a good review for Birchcrest because I know people who’ve had good luck with them. However, I’ve had a very bad experience. I live on a narrow city street, with a small driveway and a giant silver maple in my back yard. I wanted to have some preventative work done on the tree, which is healthy. I had L&R Trees come out for an estimate in August, and they said that I needed a company with a scissor lift because my driveway was too narrow for a bucket truck. They recommended Flower City Trees and Birchcrest. I tried Flower City Trees first, and they blew me off for a month after I asked for an adjustment to the initial quote which was for twice the work that I had asked for. Bob from Birchcrest then came out and gave me a reasonable quote for what I wanted done. I sent a deposit in November. Because of the location of the tree, I had to coordinate work with my back neighbors. Since then, there have been scheduling challenges due to weather, which is understandable, though on multiple occasions I had to call them to confirm that the work was cancelled rather than them letting me know. We finally got a truck to come out in January, when I was told that my driveway was too narrow for the bucket truck, that I had to get my neighbors to move their cars on my street, and that I needed to involve a second neighbor for driveway access. A complication with the back neighbor happened on that day too, and their vehicles were not moved as promised, so they left without doing work. We rescheduled for a different day, I notified all of my neighbors, a new crew showed up, and it was like the previous crew had never been there. I was told again that my driveway was too narrow, they couldn’t do the work, but that they had a smaller truck back at the office and they’d check to see if it was available. I got a text later that morning saying that it wasn’t available but they’d schedule me for the following week. The following week I again contacted my neighbors, made sure my car was on the street, and nothing. No team. I called, and I wasn’t on the schedule. It’s now February, and my check was deposited 11/14. At this point, I gave up. The tree is healthy, it’s obviously a pain to deal with, and I’ll just hope that a piece of it doesn’t fall on my house. When I called to see why the truck wasn’t here the last time, I cancelled the service and asked for my large deposit to be returned. I was told that this would happen. Three weeks later, it still hasn’t arrived, so I had to call AGAIN and was told that they must have missed the cancellation message and will send it out today. So, long story, my tree is obviously difficult, but they saw the situation when they came out to prepare the quote, so why waste my time with all of this?!

If you want or need a call ahead, dont contract with Birchcrest. If you want fast service at half the price of the next closest estimate and dont mind randomly coming home without warning to see your tree gone without a trace, then you wont be disappointed by them. Not a single branch was left in my yard. I can understand the hard feelings from RGE customers that had no choice, but as a paying customer who wanted a tree gone I am very satisfied

Review №65

Had a very large tree removed from my back yard, and stump ground and graded and seeded. Their quote was a lot more than the figures I could find online for typical tree removal but was still 2nd lowest of four quotes I got. They probably deserve four stars not three but my expectations were so high based on the reviews online, then my job didnt go as smoothly. The work was performed over five different days --- three to take down the tree alone. The job was quoted as a completely manual climb & cut, but we ended up taking down an extra section of fence and bringing in a bucket truck. Quite a bit of lawn damage, mostly was repaired with topsoil though they will have to come back in the Spring to reseed. In the end the tree was removed, the crew was nice, and I still plan to have them plant a new tree in the Spring.

I will now have to hire someone else to come take these down completely. Shame on you for thinking this is acceptable.

They didnt leave the backyard a mess either which was nice. We are happy with their services, thinking about using them for landscaping this spring too.

I thought the majority of the bad reviews for Birchcrest were from people who RGE had taken down trees in their powerline easement and weren’t happy about involuntary tree removal, but besides that the company seems normal enough. Wrong.I had a fairly simple job, take down two trees and remove what was taken down. I was not home when they sent someone to scope out the job for the quote, so they weren’t aware of some underground power lines (only 6” deep) running through the work site. Also, I wanted to be present the day of the removal in case there were any problems. So, Val at Birchcrest advised me to write on the contact my requirements, so I listed requiring a quick

We have used Birchcrest for two different services so far. We had a tree fall a few years back and we called them to come remove it, and they did it and didnt leave the yard a mess. So I decided to call them to do my landscaping last year, and it turned out BEAUTIFUL. It looks like a brand new house on the outside. We are very pleased with them.

Birchcrest Tree and Landscape planted some trees for me and did a wonderful job. They were done in one day and everything looked great. The prices were very reasonable too.

The worst company. The men are rude and smoked on my property. They destroyed my bushes in the process of taking down the trees. Completely unprofessional and left a mess behind

My neighbors tree had over grown and was resting on my roof. Birchcrest was able to come out within a week and the tree limbs. No branches or limbs were left behind. They were professional to my neighbors and to myself.

I had contacted two other companies before I found Birchcrest Tree, neither returned my calls, and when one finally did an estimate and set a date to complete the work but then never showed up. Birchcrest is reliable and professional and I was able to trust them, I will never call anyone else.

The work crew was friendly and professional. They did a perfect job. We are extremely pleased. The guy who did the estimate was also friendly and professional. Bibirchcrest was cheaper than the other

This morning, I hear chainsaws going and I look outside to see there was a man in my backyard. No one came to my door to notify me that they were going to be entering my property to start cutting down limbs. They hopped over my neighbors fence to gain access to my yard. After they finished, there are numerous huge tree limbs laying in my yard. Now my husband has to cut them, get them to the front and hopefully they will get picked up with the garbage next Thursday. Quite disappointing at how they felt they could just walk onto my property without my permission. Also quite lucky I saw them back there before letting my two German shepherds out for their morning run. I guess they are contracted by RG&E to cut around power lines. So why do we have to clean up for something I never asked for?

I have had Birchcrest Tree and Landscape do a couple of project for me and they have always done a very good and clean job. Both times they were on time and best of all they were very neat. They did a tree removal as well as did some trimmings around the house. I would work with them again in the future, they were good.

Our professional aborist and consultant, Micah Burns was exceptional in his educational advice and super friendly communicational skills.The removal of the tree and all its contents were all done in such a timely fashion . The workmen let me have my 2 year old witness the whole event . They were professional in all shape and form so I didn’t have to worry about his presence. THANK YOU for such a positive experience everyone!!!

They were rude, unprofessional and argumentative. Blocked the street and garbage pickup.

I am furious . I came home from work to a completely destroyed backyard . No prior notice from your company or the utility company . Trimming trees is one thing cutting them down to stumps is a completely different story . I no longer have any privacy in my backyard . This is unacceptable. It is unacceptable that your employees were on my property doing damage to it without my knowledge it is unacceptable that I no longer have trees . I have contacted RGE as well they assured me that they will be in contact with your company as well . You will hear from me in the morning as well . The damage has been done but the situation needs to be rectified . I want my privacy back . I have very recent before pictures of my back yard as a recently purchased the home as well as many after pictures that show the the extent of the damage .

If I could leave a zero, I would. These guys came into my backyard trimming trees for the town and leave my gate to my backyard open with branches blocking the opening. Left a big branch in the backyard. My wife told me that one of them put their cigarette out in the snow and was going to leave it there until she said something to him. Last year there were a bunch of cigarette butts in my yard after they did the same thing. It is obvious that we have children with all the kids toys and playground in the backyard and these thugs disregarded it like it didnt even matter. They should be ashamed of themselves. Im going to call the town and complain as well .

I received a letter from RGE that they hired Birchcrest to trim trees on my street around the power lines. This morning, I hear chainsaws going and I look outside to see there are several men in my backyard. No one came to my door to notify me that they were going to be entering my property to start cutting down limbs from my large trees. They hopped over the fence to gain access to my yard. After they finished, there are several branches left at the base of the trees in my yard. We had just finished our fall clean up and now we need to go back and clean their mess up. Quite disappointing at how they felt they could just walk onto my property without my permission.

They destroyed my yard during their tree trimmimg process. Not only that, they butchered my tree by cutting off branches that didnt need to be cut. They also drove their truck through my yard tearing up the grass. Was my grass a threat to the power lines? No one should ever use this company.

The crew from Birchcrest Tree & Landscape were very careful when it came to the process of taking our tree down. They also provided great clean-up which my family and I really appreciated.

I have made numerous calls (since April!!) to this Company to remove a tree branch that I am required to remove due to safety issues to my house. No show- no call on any of my detailed messages. When I finally spoke to someone-I was told they had a”faulty” answering service and they would be out by week’s end. That was a month ago. Forget it. They don’t need your business.

First off I would like to thank Micha for being so knowledgeable. Birchcrest tree and landscape is the company to go to for all your landscaping and tree trimming needs. Howie Came over and trimmed three crabapple trees in my backyard and did a wonderful job. He was extremely polite and efficient! Thanks again guys for outstanding service and a great experience.Steven D’ambra
