These guys worked on a house across the street from me. I didn’t appreciate them running a woodchipper for hours on end, after dark, on a Monday night. They shouldn’t be cutting down trees at 8PM on a weekday. It was a nuisance to the rest of the neighborhood. There’s ways to do things and there’s ways not to.

Excellent service at reasonable prices. Cristian came to give me an estimate when promised and arrived on the date we scheduled the work would be done(in fact the crew arrived early). Work was professional and they cleaned up my property leaving no mess. I would highly recommend them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them in the future. Thanks Cristian!

BEST Price &GOOD service! I am a board member of the Fairmont Gardens Condo Assoc.(FGCA) in Hackensack, NJ. We received 4 estimates for topping off 5 trees, trimming all branches back away from two buildings, and removing dead timber/branches. Green Star Tree Services(GSTS) had the most competitive proposal approximately 30 to 45% below competitors. There was some hesitation in going with the lowest bidder but we did so to save money and because all reviews(BBB, Unilocal,Angie’s list) we found online were mostly positive. The Association has had problems with the large trees clogging building roof drains and hitting the buildings. So our main concern was to chop the trees as much as possible to keep them from hitting the buildings or dropping branches and leaves onto the roofs. GSTS let us know the trees would look funny. We told them it was ok. Make sure you specify what you want(tree topping, branch trimming, aesthetics preferences, etc) and they will give it to you. The work was completed today(Fri, Oct 3rd). The amount of timber GSTS removed for the amount we paid was impressive. GSTS even coordinated access with adjacent properties without us asking so that they could access our trees with their crane and equipment. Professional bunch. If you contact them, let them know Ronnie, with the FGCA sent you via this review. We will definitely be contacting GSTS in 5-years when the trees need to be serviced again.

We loved the«parklike» feeling our new house had. These huge ancient trees around the house looked awesome and made everything so private. However, big branches were falling off randomly with just regular winds so I was nervous being outside with the kids. Some of the trees were also leaving towards the house and the neighbors house so we really needed to have them removed. These guys are really the hardest working guys I’ve seen in a long time. They took down 15 huge trees in 3 days. One day worked from 7am — 8pm! Powerwashing our patio furniture to clean up after themselves! What? They raked the yard and I think even spread grass seed at the end to smooth out the tire tracks! Oh, and the truck had made a little crack in sidewalk, they brought it to our attention(we would have never noticed!) and we said it’s no big deal so they offered to do some extra tasks to make up for it. Yes, removing trees can feel super expensive to you when you get the estimate but once you see the work they have to do(and risks they take) to remove each tree you’ll understand why the rate has to be high.

Recently, cut 4 big oak tree around my house. Been waiting for the service for a long time to find right company. I am happy with the service they provided. Price was more than reasonable. It took 4 – 5 crew working a day and half or hard working. Ask brian. Great guy. Will use them for stomp removal when i save enough money later.

I would have given them 5 stars for deftness in taking down a tree hanging precipitously over a neighbors yard. Their price was also very good. However, they left not only parts of the tree, but planks of wood stacked up against another tree that they used when having a problem getting their truck out of my yard. I called after a week and asked them to please clean up at least the stuff they left. They assured me that they would. Seven weeks now and they don’t answer my calls. If they ever clean up(fat chance) I will change my review. They are also not a member of the BBB.

Hey, not you average food review this time. I’ve had reason to contract for tree trimming and removal, and have absolutely no experience in this area, so maybe anyone looking for this service will appreciate the«heads up» Ok, coulda’ went with the visual recog here… you know… drivin’ along and see a company doin tree stuff ect… however, me being the cautious type, I did the multi bid thing to pick brains on the subject. Well, went with the Green Star company for a few reasons A) They showed up for the estimate and actually came more than once on my request, B). the crew leader(i;e fellow named Montana) was extremely courteous and respectful Appeared interested and was willing to negotiate with me on $$$. D) wanted me at the location while the job was being performed. First, let me tell you, I’m a very cautious consumer and will run like hell if I feel I’m being scammed, or involved with non competence. Ok with that said, these guy’s(there are 5) showed up on time; made sure I was satisfied with their work, provided all insurance and license docs(upon my request) cleaned up after themselves, and were actually the lowest of the 3 bids I sought. My approval has been won, and I would recommend Green Star for any tree job, big or small. They are a competent professional tree service and I noticed they also provide property excavating, land clearing, and yard removal services, and in addition, retaining walls. Listen, this is a non bullshit subject area. As I watched, I realized things could go wrong real fast, and with serious consequences, it’s as serious as a head on crash, just the nature of the business. Listen, these 5 guy’s work together day in, day out, have acquired a rhythm through hours together and work quickly safely and competently. Double thumbs up and thank you all for a job well done!!!
