Tree/Plant Care

K Power, Olathe, KS 

Lisa promptly came out and provided us an estimate. Agreed to the price and the crew came out within a few days. Despite the fact it was about 100 degrees that day, they did a fantastic job on all six trees. Careful not to disturb the surrounding planting beds and cleaned up to the point that when I came home that evening, I couldn't tell they had been out, except for the beautiful trees they had pruned. Second time I've used these folks and both great experiences.   

 

W Hood, Overland Park, KS

Lisa provided the estimate and was very easy to work with. I had a couple of additional requests that she happily incorporated. Our communication was open and Lisa was very responsive the entire time. She easily accommodated my schedule. The crew was superb! The trees look great and the yard was cleaned up perfectly - not a branch, twig or leaf left behind.

M Korzeniewski, Shawnee, KS

They did a fantastic job and cleaned up the mess in a timely manner. 

K Leach, Hurst, TX

Your men did a truly spectacular job! Thank you 

J Ventura, Flowermound, TX

Thank you for the beautiful job! I couldn't be more pleased. No more Trumpet Vine! Yipee! 

C Nicholson, Lee's Summit, MO

Thanks to Brian and Arbor Masters, my hedge tree looks GORGEOUS!!!! I can't believe how much better my tree looks!!! Just wish I had more cards to hand out to my neighbots" 

K O'Neil, Lenexa, KS

We were out of town when they trimmed our trees. They did an excellent job and we're very happy.....love the Oak - Oak looks just amazing; beautiful the way they did that. Couldn't be happier - very happy!

L. Sudbury, Ft Worth, TX 

I called them on a Saturday morning and Glen Jennings agreed to come and give me an estimate. He arrived at the time agreed and gave me an estimate. He said they'd be here on Monday around 9:30 am to do the job. I came home for lunch that day, and there was no sign they'd been there...no leaves, branches in the front yard or street. I walked around the house, and the trees were gone. The stumps were cut even with the ground, and the yard was totally cleaned up. I couldn't have asked for a better job. I would hire them again.

P Ways, Kansas City, MO

Just a comment you might pass on to John and his crew. My wife was very happy with their professionalism with their trimming our mulberry tree. She was amazed they were able to do so much with no damage anywhere. They even moved my grandkids gnomes whenever they found one. Good job!

K Couture, Leavenworth, KS

I just wanted to thank to and your crew for the thorough and professional job of removing trees from my yard today. Even my neighbors were impressed with the quality of the work. Thank you! 

B Amstutz, Lenexa, KS

Thanks, the job was done well. I will certainly come back if I need more work done! 

S Keyser, Ft Worth, TX

We want to thank Glenn and his assistant. They are so professional, courteous and polite. Our magnolia tree looks so much better and they did such a GREAT JOB. THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT CREW AND JOB WELL DONE. 

L Bennett, Olathe, KS 

Wow! Can I just say how great your crew was? My husband said they were fast, efficient and got the job done perfectly! I know the weather was against you but the pictures he took for me were outstanding. Count on us to refer anyone that asks to your company. Thanks sooooo very much.

V Curtis, Oklahoma City, OK 

I recently was given a recommendation from a friend to use your company when I was looking for someone to do some tree work for me. A very courteous young man by the name of Dustin called on me. I signed the contract and told him there was no hurry, since they were so booked up with the ice storm here in the state. Approximately three weeks later I started having severe sewer problems and called Dustin and told him of my problem which was on a Friday. The next Monday, he had a crew out and they did a beautiful job cutting down a 50 year old tree and the trimming of five other trees. One of your men by the name of Jessie, with his crew came and got the work started and also a crew from Florida. They had been helping with the other storm related problems. As one of the men said "when we get through, you won't know we have been here", speaking of cleaning up the debris. I just want to commend your company for the quality of workmanship you have representing your company. Even your lady who answers your phone was very courteous and very pleasant. I have nothing but good to say about your workers and want you to know I will certainly recommend your workmanship as a friend did to me. Thank you again for a job well done.

Wendy, Ft Worth, TX

I'm not sure to whom to leave this comment with, so if this e-mail is not in the right hands, please forward it to the right people. I live in a home in the Park Glen area in Fort Worth, Texas. Today, your crew was out cutting the rest of our trees from the snow storm we had. I have never seen any work crew work as hard as yours - that' not that part that was special though. I happen to run a family childcare in my home and the kids could not stop watching from the door. One of your guys took the time to show the kids the mulch and the whole crew waved to them. My girls found no interest in the guy in the bucket going up but the boys sure did. The time for the kids lasted only about one minute of their whole time - but that one minute impacted them, that is all they have talked about today. Plus, I was able to teach a lesson from this today, we talked about trees and how they impact us and how the mulch would be used in gardens and so on. However, I got a valuable lesson today also; there are still people who take the time for others. If I ever find someone needing your services, yours will be the first one I recommend. Thanks for your time.

Taylor Busch, Leawood, KS 

Your guys came to our house on a Saturday morning, which allowed my wife and I the chance to observe their work.  We were quite interested in how they were going to reach all those hard to get to limbs.  Additionally, I am an insurance professional and have visited many companies and safety is always an issue.  I have to say, not only were we impressed with the work and cleanup, I was thoroughly impressed with the guys' diligence and safety procedures.  Bravo!" 

J. & M. Niedens, Bel Aire, KS

“Thank you.  Nice job.  Appreciate the excellent clean-up job after tree was pruned -- and the reasonable bill amount." 

Bryan Blackwell, Ft. Worth, TX

“Glen Jennings is Great!  I think he deserves a quite large Bonus!!  If all of your crew leaders are as good as Glen, no wonder your co. is successful!  Thanks Glen and Crew." 

Paige Johnson, Prairie Village, KS 

“Your crew came out to our house last fall to do some serious pruning on several large trees.  You did a fantastic job and now we're on a service agreement with our large Scotch pine.  I've given your name out to a log of people over the past year because you were so prompt and my husband and I were so impressed with your work!  My only regret is that I wasn't there to see your crew work because I have NO IDEA how you did it!  Even tiny limbs at the top were pruned.  And the only reason I knew you'd been there was that our back yard and patio looked cleaner then (sic) before you were there!  I'll keep spreading the word and will be calling you soon for more pruning.  Thanks!"

S. Harter, Edgerton, KS

“I was put into contact with Chad Gilliland regarding my tree fertilization.  He listened to my concerns and scheduled me right in to get the work done.  He communicated the job all the way through completion.  He was very professional in the way he communicated through e-mail.  The service tech was very professional, he answered all of our questions and did a great job.”

C. Zirhut, Lee's Summit, MO

“I would like to thank your company for employing such efficient and caring people.

Lisa McGrew gave me a detailed idea of the pruning work our trees needed.  She was also gracious when explaining why some of the things I would like done would not [be] good for the trees (such as topping).   I was given the feeling that our trees would be safe in the hands of your employees.

Mike Vermillion and Cosme Altamira (I hope I have their names correctly) made sure before they commenced the pruning that I was comfortable with what they were about to do.  They worked constantly and well.  We are very pleased with the results.  Plus -- we were unexpectedly surprised and happy with the fine clean up they did.  Please pass our sincere appreciation to your employees.”

J & C. Owensby, Lee's Summit, MO

“To Whom It May Concern: I wanted to send a thank you letter to your company for the amazing service we received today. My parents initially recommended your company as they had used Arbor Masters for their residence in Kansas, in addition to my father using Shawnee Mission Tree when he worked for the local telephone company to trim trees away from telephone lines.

Lisa McGrew was our Area Sales Representative and did an amazing job explaining the services that would be rendered; putting us at ease. In addition, she worked with us to get the job signed!

When the crew showed up, I was ecstatic. We had two overgrown Silver Maple trees hanging on our roof line for the past few years, and they were here to save the day! I watched in awe with a grin from ear to ear. They were exceptionally responsive to my requests, and also entertaining to watch. We appreciated their professionalism by leaving our yard looking better that it did when they showed up.

They say word of mouth is the best advertisement a company can receive. And we are pleased to let you know we will be spreading the word. Once again, thank you for the wonderful service”

Jean and Jim M., KS

“This is a letter of thanks to you and the people of Shawnee Mission Tree for all of the help, consideration, and service you gave us during the recent ice storm. It was a particularly stressful time for my wife and myself with 2/3 of a 90 ft. oak tree lying in our back yard and the remaining 90 ft. section poised to fall on our neighbor's house. You came within a matter of days and safely took down the remaining section still standing, before it did any damage. It was done carefully and safely. You also removed the downed tree and pruned the broken limbs in our other oak trees in a professional and safe manner. Through the years, I have always been impressed with the quality of work and professional manner of your people and this was no exception. We would like to offer special thanks to Mark Cantrell for all he did on our behalf during the whole job. We appreciated it!”

N. Ta, Ft. Worth, TX

“Glen, it was a pleasure to meet you.  I wanted to let you know that you and your crew were not only extremely nice and helpful, but very expeditious and efficient as well.  I appreciate it very much and would definitely recommend you to my family, neighbors and friends!”

Kyle Campidilli, Wichita, KS

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Arbor Masters, and specifically, Arlan Bebermeyer for a job well done. It seems that excellent customer service is becoming more of an exception than the rule. Arlan and his crew definitively fulfilled my expectation, and for that I am appreciative.

I requested bids from two other tree services. Arbor Masters was not the low bid, but Arlan definitely left the best initial impression. I presented the lowest of the three bids to Arlan in hopes that he would match it and was delighted to find that he not only matched it, but beat it. The work was started the first week of June and finished the first week of August. I know you probably don’t hear from many satisfied customers whose job took two months to complete. This job would be the exception.

Due to all the rain received this spring and summer in the Wichita area, the ground on my property was consistently wet. Arlan could have easily sent crews on days where the crew would have left ruts and torn up the property in an effort to get the hob done and get paid in order to move on the next job. Arlan was very good about keeping in touch with me on his crew’s availability and the conditions of the property. It may have taken longer than expected to get the job done, but the end result was definitely a positive one in my mind.

The work was done in a very professional manner with no damage to my property. I will enthusiastically recommend Arbor Masters and Arlan Bebermeyer to friends and neighbors who may need tree trimming or removal. Thank you once again for a job well done. ”

Landscape

Mark and Kathy M., Lenexa, KS

“Yesterday our new patio was sealed, completing our extensive landscaping project with Shawnee Mission Tree Service. We would like to tell you that we are thrilled with our new back yard!

We had very high expectations and interviewed three landscaping companies and reviewed all the bids before making our decision. The cost difference was minimal.

Tom Kolarik's presentation and design was by far the most professional and creative. We especially liked the attention he gave in solving our potential drainage problems.

Tom and his crew completed our grading and retaining wall very quickly with no inconvenience to us. Tom kept us informed of the progress and allowed us input on a daily basis. When we made last minute changes to our shrub and tree plantings, Tom found us everything we wanted. His professionalism and courteous manner made him a pleasure to work with and the result is so much better than we had hoped!

We were so pleased that we decided to have Tom and his crew install a cobblestone patio in addition to our initial project. It looks incredible!

All our relatives and friends are so impressed with the transformation of our yard, we can't wit to entertain this Spring and show it off!

We want to commend Tom Kolarik and his crew for the fantastic design and installation of our landscaping project and also Glen Jennings who initially removed four trees from our property. Please feel free to use this letter as a testimonial for future clients. We would highly recommend Shawnee Mission Tree Service to anyone who is considering a landscaping project whether large or small. It's truly been a pleasure from beginning to end!”

Emergency Storm Response

Richard M. Love, Sr., Emergency Coordinator/Safety and Training Officer, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

“Their knowledge of the proper equipment and methods of removal made them an asset to our recovery efforts. They have a clear understanding of debris recovery and reduction. Their thorough knowledge and understanding of FEMA practices and procedures has helped facilitate the processing of reimbursement requests.”

Philip M. Ball, PE, Director of Public Works, City of Texarkana, Texas

“...their employees were skilled in the tree trimming business and we found this to be a good situation for Texarkana as it was obvious to the general public that we had professionals on the job. The supervisors that they utilized were knowledgeable of the work and were very responsive to any requests or concerns we had during the course of the cleanup of some 282,407 cubic yards of material.”

Randall L. Carroll, Director-Public Works, City of Merriam, Kansas

“Arbor Masters Tree Service (AMTS) has been a contractor for the City of Merriam for over twenty years. During that time AMTS has trimmed, pruned, relocated and removed trees in an efficient and professional manner. It is with this history that we confidently recommend Arbor Masters Tree Service.”

Builder/Developer

Steve Powell, Overland Park, KS

“Brian - very rarely do I get any more than mediocre work from a subcontractor.  I want to commend you and your crews for exceeding my expectations today.  My hat comes off to you!  Very impressed.  There will be more work coming.  Count on it.  Thanks again!"

Irrigation

Charles J., Treasurer of Kansas City, MO

“Three years ago, Timber Trace was concerned over an antiquated community based sprinkler system. The system covers a large area from State Line on the West to Wornell Road on the East, and Santa Fe Drive on the North to 125th Street on the South. Several in-street islands, three entrances, are included in the system. The current system of five water mains, five back flow valves, six controllers activating 99 zones, with over 500 sprinkler heads controlled by 58 electronic valves.

The original system was installed in sections as the development was completed over a ten year time span. We were left with no blueprints, a variety of controllers, valves and sprinkler heads from different manufacturers, and no way to understand the complexity of our problem, nor any way to balance the system. An insurmountable budget requirement was anticipated to replace the system. There appeared to be no expertise evident from previous attempts to standardize the system.

Arbor Masters Tree & Landscape was recommended to us, and confirmed by the Course Superintendent at Blue Hills Country Club, the area surrounded by or development. Over the last three years, the expert people from your organization have mapped our system, standardized the controllers and sprinkler heads, and balanced the water usage within the total. Each zone is detailed, within each controller. Arbor Masters Tree & Landscape has revitalized our complete system. Your cost was within our budget. As a result we did not require any extraordinary budget increases. Your personnel are always courteous, friendly, and associate well with our residential homeowners.

Please share our experience with your business activity. Thank you!“
