Joe came out to help us trim a tree away from our house. He was incredibly passionate about tree care, took care of our issue with a very quick turnaround and was overall very reasonable to work with. Would definitely recommend AAA Tree Service to all of my friends and neighbors! read more

Joe is great. He has been servicing my trees for a few years now and impressively most often tells me not to trim when not needed. He is a true arborist and artist. Great to work with you Joe! read more

After last week's terrific wind, we had one aspen crash through the fence into one neighbor's yard and another large aspen that was precariously leaning (10-15 degree angle) over two fences towards another neighbor's property. I called Joe who was working another job. He no-kidding came over within 15 minutes to look at our situation and soon after began work. He explained his plans to my and my neighbors' satisfaction. When it was time, he was very careful to protect both my and my neighbors' properties as he methodically took down the leaning tree. His cleanup was the best I've ever experienced in any job in our yard (we've had several). I highly recommend hiring Joe and his colleagues (Dave and Dean) for any tree work you may have. read more

I cannot recommend AAA Emergency Tree Service enough. We had an extremely (extremely) large cottonwood tree come down on our garage during a freak windstorm. I called AAA and they were fast to respond with a quote and fast to perform the work. The work was done to beyond my satisfaction, all debris was cleaned up, and the giant root-ball was pulled up and out with precision! Especially when having to work around multiple other homes, with not a lot of access in the alley. They had the right equipment and the right personal. In addition to the quick and great work, owner Joe Phillipps was outstanding to work with. He was my calm voice of reason in a very panicked situation. His entire crew was incredibly nice, curious, and just fantastic to work with. If you need a tree removed, don't hesitate to work with AAA! read more

Not only did Joe at AAA take down a dead cottonwoord, he trimmed my other trees. He did some landscaping for free using materials I already had! His crew came in, did great work for a reasonable price and cleaned up well! Highly recommend, I had AAA back out to do more and will post pics soon. I dont know what I would do without Joe's help!! read more

Joe came out at 8pm for our emergency call. Our cat decided to live his best life as a bird about 50ft up a tree and too scared to come down. The fire department doesn't help with this, animal control doesn't help with this, nobody helps (especially at 8pm) except for Joe at AAA Emergency, and for that our family is grateful! read more

Joe and his team at AAA Emergency Tree Service did an exceptional job for us in Aurora. We had 20 trees on our property. He removed 4 dead trees and did a beautiful job on the rest. Joe is a true pro and taught us a lot about our trees and shrubs. The job took about four days and his price was reasonable. His work is meticulous and there was no mess to clean up when he was finished. read more

We had a tree fall on our house Thursday at 6pm. Joe was there by 6:45 and ready to start work the next morning by 10:00. They removed the tree and were gone by the evening. The best part was that Joe cleaned everything after he left! The property was better than before they got there - minus the hole in the roof etc. I would recommend Joe to anyone who finds themselves in a rough situation. He has great customer service. Very very pleased with this company! read more

WHAT A BLESSING! Finding this company was truly a g*d send. The owner, Joe Phillips, sent out a team to help remove a HUGE tree limb that took down the fence between our property and our neighbor during a storm. Then, after it was determined that the main tree that the limb had detached from had severe damage and was an immediate danger of coming down, his team returned to remove the main tree. I am glossing over my high anxiety during the wait to have the main tree removed and my fear the tree would come down before his team could take it down safely, not to mention actually having someone climb a tree that was in imminent danger of coming down, which is not relevant to the work they did but was extremely relevant to the personal way that Joe responded. Joe was the most understanding, sympathetic and compassionate person I have run across in a long time, even saying he was keeping me in his prayers because I was so emotionally stressed out from dealing with the potential danger and damage the standing tree represented before it could be taken down. Joe must come across this all the time, but he responded to me very personally and was the strength I needed in the "storm". I highly recommend this company, Joe's team and most importantly Joe himself for the professional and amazing response I received during this emergency. **********10 STARS********** read more

We called to have a 70ft cottonwood tree with root rot removed. Amazing service. They showed up that night to look at it, and started removal first thing the next day. They cleaned up all of the debris - and then some. They educated us on other other trees and how to trim them and keep them healthy. They did so good that our neighbors hit them up to take care of their tree, as well. I would recommend them to anyone. I will definitely use them again. read more

A 60- foot tree fell on our home. AAA was there the next day. They were courteous, professional, and got the immense job done, even though it entailed getting permits to block the street for a crane, all in two days. They got the work done with no further damage to our home. They were able to help conclude that the cause of the tree falling was rot and not wind and helped us with our insurance. (It was the neighbor's tree so coverage differs if it's rot or wind.) I highly recommend them. read more

I had some questions and concerns about 2 large trees. AAA resolved my issues - within 24 hours! Communication with Joe was excellent. The job was done quickly and professionally - as part of the nice clean-up, he even raked up my leaves! I will definitely use AAA for my next tree service. read more

I called Joe last week when a storm took down half of a large tree in our front yard. The other half looked like it might fall at any time, so I needed someone to come cut it down quickly before it fell and hurt someone. I called Joe on Tuesday morning and he was able to come out that afternoon. He worked with us on the price, and quickly got to work. He and his partner took down the remaining part of the tree, and cleaned up the rest of the downed branches. They took great care to clean up our yard when they were done, and even did a little trimming on a nearby tree at no extra cost. Joe was so friendly and helpful through the whole process, which made the pain of emergency tree removal much easier to swallow. They're not just for emergencies, either! We'll be calling Joe for scheduled tree work, too! read more

Blown away. Joe Phillipps was spectacular! Within 2 hours of my first call, he was in the top of my parent's tree fixing a really dangerous piece of storm damage. He even sent me two phone videos as he was doing the work, since I couldn't be on-site personally. So professional. So efficient, clear, easy to work with. Plus he's got a great voice-over voice;-) I'm thinking about tossing my cat into the tree just so I can work with them again. read more

AAA emergency did an excellent job assessing the health of our trees. Would highly recommend them! Very professional.

Joe Phillips and AAA Emergency Tree Service did a FANTASTIC job for us! We had a HUGE 100 foot cottonwood tree fall on our house this summer. The tree fell at about 9:30pm, I called Joe about 11:30pm, he called me right back and was standing in my backyard at 7:30 the next morning. Extremely kind and professional. He coordinated the removal of the tree, no small task....it took a 90 ton crane parked in the street and the entire day to remove the tree. He also arranged to have the giant stumps ground and top soil back filled. I am pretty OCD when it comes to things being done right...I'm a perfectionist. Joe and his team met and even exceeded my standards. To top it off, he was incredibly kind, friendly, professional, and prompt. Joe Phillips and AAA Emergency Tree Service is a RARE find these days. I will always use Joe in the future....you should too. read more

I find good customer service in various places in Denver but excellent customer service in just a few. I faced a very tricky situation RIGHT before hitting the road and leaving town for nearly a week. My mom was pet sitting and strong winds ended up breaking a branch partially and was leaning over my power line that goes from my house to the electricity pole and was slowly bending the metal pole that goes into the power box. I contacted Xcel Energy to no avail since "it was not an emergency since there was no outage." They didn't show up until a WEEK after! I contacted 2 companies before contacting AAA and left them voice messages (I am still waiting for their reply, it was 2 months ago!). Mr. Phillips answered right away, came to assess the predicament and came the day after when we were gone to complete the work. He even rearranged the patio and completely cleaned everything. If you are looking for a cheaper option be my guest but one cannot buy peace of mind. I didn't have to worry about my mom being left with no power during the 100-degree summer weather. I highly recommend AAA. They are professionals at what they do. read more

I guess these guys hire contractors, but the guys they sent were Ruiz tree service. They were awesome. I got 3 other quotes for tree trimming (tree was about 35-40', about 1 1/2 foot diameter trunk). I was just going to trim it at first (around $300-$500 by quotes). We decided instead to get rid of the ENTIRE tree and stump, these guys did it for $450 total! I was expecting to pay a lot more for it. Jose was really pleasant, polite, and knowledgeable about the tree, even telling me the scientific breed of both trees in my yard. They showed up a bit late, but they took the whole tree out with stump in about an hour. They raked the dirt back over, used a leaf blower to clean up the mess, and even pulled the hose out an sprayed off some dirt from the fence. They did the entire job over the fence or through the garage, and didn't have to track dirt through my house. I thought they were really professional, very efficient and well priced. Thanks! read more

I called Joe from San Jose California after looking on the net for cat in a tree rescue And sure enough Had a certified arborist Send 2 of his crew to the address I gave him where my cat spent the night, about 35 foot up a redwood tree after escaping our yard and after a sleepless night the guys got the cat down and I am very grateful! Thanks to all and AAA has a network of tree climbers Etc so anywhere you need help please call Joe! The crew was here in an hour and everybody was friendly and reasonable as well! Thanks for doing what nobody else does!!! read more

Our kitten found herself 50 feet up a tree. Joe got someone out ASAP to get her down. He was wonderful to deal with and very empathetic to our situation. Thank you so much. read more

Not a good experience overall. Joe responded within one hour, which was good. However, his attitude upon arrival was annoying, and kind of weird. For some reason that I don't understand, he became very insistent that before starting work I try eating a weed he found in my planter. Odd, since I had never met this guy before. When I repeatedly declined, he kept pushing. (I later found out it was actually a somewhat toxic species that is similar to an edible one, and notified him of this but he did not reply). Not really sure what this guy's problem is, but didn't appreciate the attitude or pushiness. There were a couple of other issues which were not ok but won't go into them here. He did perform the agreed upon service of stump grinding, and cleaned up afterwards. His fee is at least 50% higher than market, but, in all fairness remember that he will respond quickly and this is why he states he commands a premium. However, he then mistakenly issued an invoice showing an amount owing, even though he was paid in full at time of service. He said he would issue a corrected one but then failed to do so. Several texts and repeated emails to issue a correct paid in full invoice were ignored and not responded to. I didn't like this, and it was unprofessional. He was also very insistent after completing the job about having us give him a great review at some review service he texted to me. My impression overall is not good. While work did get done, I regret using Joe's services and will not do so again. While I don't recommend this person/company, in an urgent situation, you might consider putting up with Joe's attitude and issues (and also pay more) in order to get work done fast. Let's face it: in an emergency, you take what you can get. read more

Joe Phillips is very friendly and professional, and he will go the extra mile to help. Joe recently trimmed my large oak tree to meet city code specifications. He returned calls/emails quickly and promptly came out to give me a quote on a week end. When I explained that I needed to have the trimming done by a specific date to comply with the city code, Joe assured me that would not be a problem, and he even called the city forestry inspector to let her know. In terms of pricing, AAA Emergency Tree Service offered the best price out of the 5+ companies that I called. I've noticed a growing trend of people forgetting to say "thank you" when someone is the customer. For instance, it often seems like the customer says "thank you" when they are handed whatever they purchased. When, in reality, the customer should be thanked for their purchase. Joe sincerely thanked me for the opportunity to bid on the tree project and again sincerely thanked me for choosing his business after completing projects. That stood out. I would surely go back to AAA Emergency Tree Service for any tree needs in the future. It's tough to find honest and kind people for those "homeowner fun" tasks, but you will find it with AAA Emergency Tree Service. read more

Joe and his team are professional, did a thorough job from trimming my American Elm to the post-trim clean up when the job was done. Responsive to client needs and will use them again for future needs. read more

Joe was fantastic. He was ready to help me by getting a tree service out to my location to rescue my cat in a tree. However, he first gave me several suggestions on how I could possibly get my cat down by myself without incurring extra fees to have a tree service come out. Because of the several suggestions he gave me, all of which I tried, one of them did the trick, and I was able to rescue my cat with the help of a neighbor. Joe kept me calm, and that is why I was able to take instruction from him. He saved me the cost of having the tree service come over, and I can't thank him enough, first, for facilitating the rescue of my cat and, second, for being so very helpful in walking me through my desperation in order to retrieve my cat. read more

I strongly advise anyone to avoid this company if you are not in Denver. I saw national tree service and high ratings and BBB approved and associated with AAA and called. A tree fell on our home. He explained there was a 500$ deposit which would be part of our tree removal service , well it was not a deposit but a finders fee. We got charged $500 which was not a deposit as stated in our email contract but a finders fee, this was a deceptive service that took advantage of a family going through a stressful time. Call anyone else do not give this company a dime. read more

I highly recommend AAA Emergency Tree Service. When our cat was stuck 30 ft. up a large redwood tree we had trouble finding an arborist that would climb up and save her. Joe Phillips of AAA Emergency Tree Service was very knowledgeable about cat rescues and was able to put us at ease. He suggested things that we could try first before having someone climb up and rescue the cat. Ultimately, when the cat would not come down on her own, Joe did the research and ground work to find a local arborist that came out the same morning. Julian of Julian's Tree Care climbed up and rescued our cat quickly and gently. I am thankful to have worked with Joe at AAA Emergency Tree Service. read more

Our cat was stuck 30 feet up in a tree, in 100 degree weather for 2 days! We didn't know where to turn. I found AAA Emergency Tree Service online. I called and spoke to Joe Phillipps, he was a life saver!! Within 30 minutes he dispatched someone to help us. We were relieved to know that there was someone out there to save our cat! This business is very professional and I highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again Joe! read more

Just want to send a great big thank you to AAA Emergency Cat and Animal Rescue.I was missing my cat one day when he didn't come in that evening and didn't see him for another couple of days. 6 days passed before I learned that my cat was in a very high pine tree in my neighbors yard and had been chased up there by a German Shepard and a Pit Bull. He would NOT come down even when the dogs were put up. He had gone into shock "Tigger" hadn't eaten or had any water for all this time, I couldn't get any help from the fire department, animal control, or Humane Society, I believe in reality it's just a cliché to call the fire department that you'd see on tv. Well my wife and I was at our wits end, and some of neighbors as well. After scouring the internet looking for some help I ran across you guys. Thanks to the good people at AAA for coming through for us and Tigger, I will recommend you to anyone who has an emergency or non emergency situation. Jerry Bolin Gaffney SC read more

A tree fell on our property during a storm. We reached Joe at noon and he was there at 4 to remove the tree. Excellent work, excellent service. We couldn't be more pleased! read more

It was a Sunday afternoon when a neighbor noticed our tree leaning. A massive old cottonwood that was aiming for part of my house, my fence, and my neighbor's back porch on a windy day. There was a crack up the middle that we watched get progressively larger within a couple of hours. We called 20+ tree services and AAA Emergency Tree Service was the ONLY one that answered (in fact we did leave a few messages with other companies and they didn't even return our call). They were out to our house that day and had the tree shored up and our property safe within a couple of hours. This massive tree was out of my backyard the next day. These folks are fast, professional, and knowledgeable. If we have ANY tree issue in the future, this is the company we will be calling. read more

AAA rescues cats stuck in trees! On the weekend! Ours was about 50' up a western red cedar. It took about 20 minutes to get him down safely. The rescuer did not wear spikes; when I asked why he said it can damage the tree. Quite clearly a lover of trees & pets. Thanks! read more

In a pinch I'm a fan. Joe and AAA Tree Emergency Services lived up to their name while responding to exactly that, an emergency. There's not much option on a Saturday AM when you're 75 ft tree has a crack horizontally through about 1/4 up the trunk and you can hear it cracking. Like another reviewer said, in an emergency, you do what you need to do. I would assume Joe was more expensive than most but due to the weekend and the situation we'd gladly pay it again. read more

Outstanding Service!!! My sister in-law's home was hit by the 2013 Oklahoma tornadoes. Me, living in Atlanta, not knowing any tree service companies in the Oklahoma City area, I goggled "Oklahoma Tree Service", and found AAA Emergency Tree Service, I called and spoke to a representative in Denver, CO, while on the phone, the representative contacted his Oklahoma City crew, they had a person onsite by noon to asses the damage and began work later that afternoon in the rain in order to have the front yard cleared of trees by the next morning in order to accommodate the delivery of a storage unit. My family and I can not express our gratitude enough for the hard work and performance of AAA Emergency Tree Service and their workers, read more

One of the most professional companies I've ever had do work at my house. A very large cottonwood fell on my house in the middle of the night. A quick phone call and a short time later, Joe and his assistant, Bosley, were at my home. Within 48 hours, two trees were taken down and cleaned up. Joe even cut some of the smaller branches up for me to use in our wood stove. Amazing work. This will be my go-to company for any tree work in the future! I highly recommend AAA. read more
