Four Brothers Tree & Landscaping

We have used them three times now and not once disappointed. They show up, get right to work, clean up, etc. One of those times we noticed a tree that looked as though it could fall over at any time. It was a Huge pine and would have caused considerable damage if it had fallen on our property or our neighbors. They were out the next day. They will stay our «Tree Guys» from now on.

Four brothers were awesome ! Very reasonable, professional, and quick response for estimate! 3 days later tree is cut down and they did a great job! Highly recommended ! AAA +++
in Manassas ! (By far best price of all too)

Steve and his crew are one of the best in tree pruning. They did mine at a reasonable price and the work was very professional. I would definitely recommend them.

When looking for estimates to have some trees removed and pruning done, I turned to Unilocal and Angie’s List for some good recommendations. I narrowed down to three companies to get quotes from, and I ended up getting a fourth because some random guys who were in my neighborhood dropped by one day.
Northern Virginia Tree Experts ended up having the best price BY FAR for tree removal. Check out my review over on their page for information about that, but they did a GREAT job. Four Brothers actually came in second on the tree removal quote, but they were still about 40% higher than NVTE. (And oh by the way, NVTE offers a military discount, which FB does not.)
Four Brothers’ estimate (which they showed up two hours after they told me they would to do) did come in a little lower for their pruning services though, so I held off on that until after the big trees were gone and then emailed Four Brothers to have them come back out.
It took them a while to get back to me, but they finally did. I emailed back and forth with who I presume is one of the owners/​four brothers, settling the details, then he said they’d be out. There was a storm that week, so I didn’t hear from them and when I followed up it turned out that they had bumped me down the list to address folks with emergency storm damage. Fair enough, just could have been a bit more communicative about it.
Even after saying they would come back out, they didn’t ever tell me when. As a matter of fact, I just happened to be sitting out on my back porch one day and noticed, hey, there have been some limbs cut off on some of the trees! So I guess they did a good job of removing the debris! However, they still left some ugly stubs on the trees in a few places and left a few low-​hanging branches on my neighbor’s side. What baffles me is that there are a couple of dead limbs hanging below areas they cut that they easily could have just reached over and pulled out (stuff I can’t reach even with a ladder), but they left those hanging there as a hazard to anything underneath.
Overall, they took a bit of rigamarole to get out, but they have a decent price for what they did and were nice enough and cleaned up any debris from the ground. But their attention to detail is only so-​so, and despite the lower pruning price it’s close enough to NVTE’s I’d probably just have them do everything next time since the bulk of the cost (actual tree removal) is more expensive with Four Brothers.
EDIT: I had to deduct another star because their payment options are so archaic and inconvenient. They don’t accept any form of online payment, only cash or check. Which, they didn’t tell me what day/​time they were coming by so I wasn’t here to give them cash. And who keeps checks around these days? I tried even transferring money directly to their account using PopMoney since they don’t have a secure credit card option online. They wouldn’t accept it. Like all they have to do is click the link and put in their account number. It’s so easy these days to just set up e-​commerce with Square or any other array of options that this is unacceptable. I ended up getting in some checks and finally mailing them one.
Very nice guys, but all around just too inconvenient in comparison to people who also do a good job for a decent (and sometimes better) price.

This company is great. Reached out to Four Brothers based on the Unilocal reviews and was glad I did. Steve was very professional, responsive, and great to work with. They trimmed back our cherry tree and did some landscaping for us. The work looks great and I couldn’t be more satisfied. I will definitely reach out to Four Brothers for future projects.

Unilocal has turned us to call them because of the remarkable remarks from other Unilocalers. Made arrangement and promised to show up an assigned day but never did. How reliable of a business this is? Followed up a call and left a message just to find out their views for not showing up. But NOT an apology nor any sort of decent call back was ever made. Terrible business to deal with.
UPDATE: We keep their business after we straighten out some issues as mentioned above. They have some reasonable, emergency situation to get hold of us. Mind you, Steve has done such remarkable job in coordinating with the work that needs to be done. Will definitely refer them and call them to work for us again.
And on top of it, their price is reasonable!!!

It took a while to nail down an appointment with Four Brothers to prune the (incredibly tall) oak tree in my front yard. However, it was worth it. Fantastic service, very fair price, and they did an excellent job, taking into account both the health of the tree and the fact that I didn’t want the branches leaning against my house. I would definitely use them again.

We’ve had Four Brothers out to prune, and then remove, two large trees that were growing over our neighbor’s yard. It took all day, but the trees were removed safely and the area was cleaned up afterwards. Reasonable price, and excellent customer service.

Four Brothers came to remove a cypress tree that came down in the December ice storm. Fast service, and everything was left neat and tidy. Hopefully I won’t lose any more trees, but if I do I know the company to call.

Four Brothers removed a tree and roots in my back yard. They gave a fair price and worked hard to make sure I was happy with the result. Their customer service was terrific. When I asked about trimming some other trees in the front yard, I was given an honest assessment that it wasn’t needed at this time. I’ve dealt with other companies that could learn from Four Brother’s integrity and professionalism.

Tree damaged by heavy snowstorms of February 2010… Four Brothers had by far the best price. They came out within two days and did the work as scheduled, quickly and completely, cleaning up and shaping tree nicely.
Polite and professional at every step of the business transaction.
Definitely will call them again when the need arises, and for other landscaping and tree care needs in the future.

We had a tree come down next to our home. This company was the best estimate, came when promised, cleaned up, and filled the hole with bagged topsoil. The did a quick cut for a neighbor at no charge. Friendly, helpful, and professional.
