Rainbow Treecare

I could not be more impressed with Rainbow Treecare! My estimate was timely and reasonable compared to two other local service’s estimates. The arborist who provided the estimate, Ben, really made sure I understood the work that was needed and provided details on what he recommended be done. The guys who came out today were friendly, detailed in their work and thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. They also explained what they were doing and one even thanked me for having them out! I would recommend this company to anyone looking to get tree trimming work done.

They came out and took care of the carpenter ants that were infesting our tree. They were all dead in under a week. They also treated the perimeter of our home too just in case. I would definitely recommend Rainbow Treecare!

Signed up for mole treatment. $ 500 and 2 weeks later a mole trace in the lawn. Called them back (my mis-​understanding that this was guaranteed), and they tell me for more money they will come back.
Don’t fall for this line. Their treatments obviously don’t work. I have tried lots of stuff over the years, the only thing to do is trap them.

Ahh, the joys of homeownership… my commitment to the balance of nature and respect for the ecosystem has been sorely tested by a beaver that gave us the bird a couple years ago.
So this beaver… lops down two of the four of the shade trees we have just outside our fence and bordering a pond (in a natural reserve, mind you, so we couldn’t just shoot the MFer). Thinks about taking out a third, but decides instead to just shave it 360 degrees and let it die a slow death right in front of our eyes. *Thankfully* the one it left was upwards of 30 feet tall — asshole.
So here we sit with two massive logs, two stumps and one sky-​high stick in the mud. Referred to Rainbow Treecare from a friend and spoke to them about our dilemma. They came out for free and were very thorough in their assessment of the situation. («Oh, you say if I would have called you in the winter when the pond was frozen over, it would have been cheaper because you could have just dropped the tree on the ice? Awesome! Anyone ever tell you that you’d make a GREAT personal trainer?»)
I agree with Joanna that their pricing was a bit higher than I expected, but I have no estimate for comparison. My hunch is simply based on the fact that… well, you guys cut down trees… it’s what you do. Does it really cost you $ 300 in skill for that? But much like a plumber, you’re paying for the increase in YOUR convenience, not the decrease in theirs.
They did a top notch job with stump removal, tree removal and cleaning up a chitty-​looking half-​dead willow that is our sole remaining source of shade. (Effing beavers.) They were VERY prompt and got the job done in one morning by sending multiple guys out, which I greatly appreciate.
Their service was superb, but my recommendation: buy a house with no trees.

One of the big-​ticket items in home ownership is taking care of trees, as in pruning or removing them. Thanks to Rainbow Treecare it was very affordable. Three of us in our neighborhood happened to decide to get our trees looked at together and that got us a 10% discount. Their prices were much cheaper than their competitors’.
Great service, professional and courteous. They are on Angie’s list too. I confidently recommend them.

We’ve used Rainbow Treecare several times now. We’ve had 2 tree trimmings, 2 tree fungicide treatments, 2 shrub removals, as well as used them one summer to rejuvenate our lawn. They have been top notch all around. They always come out for free and inspect the work to be done and give estimates first. They will even come out when you are not at home and just call you with their recommendations. I even had a tech out once who went around my yard with me and gave me insight and tips on questions with my other shrubs that they didn’t touch. I think their prices may be a bit higher than some other places, but they give you good service so it probably makes up for it.

part of the pride of home ownership is dealing with the crazy spendy trees that grow in your backyard and inoculating them against whatever it is that mother nature is inclined to inflict upon them. trees repay you with shade, crap on your deck leaves and coolness. they also provide a stage for belligerent squirrels.
we have 2 elm trees in the back yard, they grow like mad, we love them but they require maintenance that is deceptively expensive. for this latest round of trimming, i used rainbow treecare. they actually did a really good job trimming the trees when they finally came out. it was just that getting them to come out required some additional hassle. the communication skills leave a lot to be desired.
they actually had to come out 2x since the first time they didn’t have the bucket truck that is required for trimming my backyard behemoths. one would think they’d make that explicitly clear for the crew going out there. this meant that we coordinated car moves and such with our neighbors for nought.
to rainbow’s credit, they recovered nicely and got back out the next week and coordinated with the neighbors to make sure that things ran smoothly.
