Zumalt Tree Experts

Zumalt Tree Experts describes itself on its website as a full service tree company, family owned and operated for 42 years and serving Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. It carries an A+ grade from the BBB and 4.3 stars from 73 Google ratings. A customer who had bought a house with massive trees hanging over it said John and his team took down trees over 100 feet tall all around it, and also removed the stumps, going below ground level on the huge ones. A recent customer said Jon and crew removed quite a few large trees, using what the customer guessed was plywood to protect the lawn, and that Jim and Justin ground stumps sitting right up against a rock wall. When a tree came down on one recent customer's home between two septic systems, that customer said the company worked around the limited space and cleaned up afterward. A 2024 customer with a two-acre lot said they took down 19 trees, six of them 90-foot pines, without damaging any trees or landscape. A 2024 reviewer wrote that a back-yard pine was lifted over the garage with a crane and cut up in the front yard, with no damage to that yard. A 2023 customer who needed eight trees and their stumps removed to clear sun from solar panels said John, the owner, went over what to expect before, the day of and after the job, and that the crew explained in detail what they had done. A 2024 customer said the final bill always matched the estimate in their experience. A 2024 customer said there were scheduling delays at the start because of weather and equipment, that Ashley called with updates, and that when the workers forgot to leave some cut logs as asked, the owner sent a worker back within days and delivered extra split, seasoned wood. A 2022 customer said the company took the money and never finished the job: after three and a half months, the tree hanging over their power line still stood and the owner would not return a phone call. A 2021 customer said their house was damaged during a tree removal and a promised call from John never came. A 2022 customer said a scheduled firewood delivery never showed up, twice.
