A Cut Above Tree and Shrub Care, Inc.

I've had Chris do pruning annually the past few years and he always does a great job at a reasonable price! Very nice guy, gives the job a walkthrough and honest about what you may want to do and not need and I never felt oversold to. Highly recommend!!

I highly caution you against doing business with this company. If I could give less than 1 star, I would. Our experience with “A Cut Above (ACA)” was good at first and has ended in frustration and disappointment. We hired ACA to clean up our arborvitae trees, trim some branches and cut down a small tree and remove the stump. Upon first look, everything was done to our liking. However, a month later when we opened our lawn irrigation system for the season, we learned ACA had punctured two water lines in our system. We were with our irrigation contractor when he opened our irrigation system and witnessed water gushing out of the ground. After carefully removing the soil, we saw the lines that had been pierced. Our irrigation company advised us to contact the company we used to remove the tree because this is a “common occurrence when trees are removed” and “they should pay for the repair of the lines.” We reached out to Chris Bolduc, owner and ACA arborist about the lines he cut while removing the tree stump and he refused to work with us to correct the problem he created. We asked him to pay the one-hundred dollars it would cost to repair the lines. He refused and said he “did the work he was hired to do” and there was “no problem with the work done because the tree was removed.” We asked him to return to our home so we could show him the damage we were referring to and he refused. Chris took no ownership of the damage he caused to our irrigation system while removing a tree. The bottom line is, if you hire A Cut Above, you will need to supervise Chris to hold him accountable in the moment for any damages he causes because he will not work with you to resolve any damages he does to your property. What is the most frustrating aspect of this situation is the principle of ACA not fixing the problem, (whether it was a mistake or reckless) that he caused. We were not asking for much, just one-hundred dollars or even supplying a contractor to make the repair.

Chris is always accommodating and knows his stuff. We’ve used Chris’ service on multiple occasions.

I cannot say enough good things about Chris and A Cut Above Tree and Shrub Care. We had a pretty extensive cleaning of our pool area consisting of a number of overgrown trees and shrubs. After meeting with Chris, it was clear he understood our environment and our goals and offered us a lot of great advice on how to achieve them. On time, efficient, informative, super friendly. Great experience!!!

Chris recently removed a dwarf evergreen from my yard. The tree was removed and all debris was cleaned up and taken away. Highly recommend A Cut Above Tree for any and all tree maintenance.
