I contacted this company for an estimate, and scheduled an appointment for 11-12pm today. At 11:45, they still hadn't shown up so I called to confirm that they were still coming. The person who answered the phone said I'd never confirmed, to which I replied that I had an email confirming. She said she'd never received it, which sounded like a CYA lie. Attaching a screenshot of our exchange because receipts are important. If they can't even show up or be accountable in the most preliminary stages, imagine how much worse their service would be once they had your money? I should have looked more carefully at the reviews - there are some troubling ones in the filtered section, and almost all of the 5 star ones are from new Yelp accounts with barely any reviews. Never a good sign. read more

once again the team from Affordable Tree Service provided great help. They were quick to respond offered a very good price and promptly did the job. I am out of state and Michael and team decrease the stress of Texas weather. read more

Affordable Tree Services did a great job removing a tree from a difficult to reach spot in our backyard. They charged less to cut down and haul away the whole tree than the other estimates I got to partially remove it. They cleaned up after their work and left it looking better than before. I highly recommend them. read more

See all

Knowledgeable, professional service from start to finish. Very happy with their work and attention to detail. Highly recommend Affordable/Prestige Tree Service. read more

Estimator came and gave us a break down of the costs. I recommend having him write down all the prices in the written quote to refer back to. They'll use this to confirm the price so if it's not written down you might delay the process. Took 5 hours to cut down two trees. Did a great job cutting it up into logs, hauling away, and cleaning up. Will use them again when another storm rolls in. read more

We are very pleased with how they cautiously removed these two large Pine trees between two homes. The pricing was very reasonable.

Good Guys, even though I actually didn't get a chance to meet any of them. I called... they visited my house to price the work... texted me a reasonable estimate... performed the work and invoiced me. It was that easy. They even gave me pointers on how to avoid re-growth. I highly recommend starting with these guys. read more

Our request for their services started with just a need for a tree to be removed, then after a terrible wind storm it turned into an Emergency!! The tree started disintegrating and falling into our home. They were here in a flash and just moments ago left our home in a much safer condition. Their precision and accuracy was astonishing. Our home sits in tight proximity to other houses, so they definitely had their work cut out for them. After the tree was successfully removed, they even cleaned up our backyard, deck, and front yard. I am sure we will have more needs in the future and they will be on go to company! Thank you -The Bargar Family read more

These guys do really good work. They arrived at the scheduled time and removed the tree debris from my backyard. Now, I do wish their grinding machine hadn't left so many small but noticeable tree remnants I front of my sidewalk. Otherwise, perfect workmanship. read more

Affordable Tree Services / Rick and his team did an amazing job of removing some of the problem trees from our yard. Their quote was very reasonable. They are truly affordable, professional and punctual. I highly recommend them! read more

I called Affordable Tree Service to cut down three trees and trim another tree. A gentleman came out to give me an estimate and I accepted it on the spot. It was cheaper than the other estimate that I received. A week later they came out and completed the job. Everything went smoothly. The next day the owner called to check on the work. I told him that I was happy and that I will call Affordable Tree Service the next time I need trees taken out. read more

Contacted company and had Carlos come out for an estimate to remove a large Maple tree. Like a good consumer we received several estimates. Once complete, I provided Carlos with one of the other estimates and inquired about the below guarantee that is posted by the owner. Not only would Carlos not beat the competitor's price, he would not even meet it. So much for your "guarantee..." Would not recommend if they can't even get past the quote process. "Since 1996, Affordable Tree Service has provided quality tree services at an affordable price. We guarantee to provide you with a better rate that any competitor. Just bring us your written offer and we guarantee to beat it by up to 20%. In addition, we promise to provide you with fast and efficient services without sacrificing quality as satisfying you is our number-one priority." read more

I had no problem with the sprawling ornamental cherry tree on the edge of our property and figured we could just cut the dead part off for firewood eventually, but my wife was insistent that it go so she looked up some local tree services and told me to call Affordable. I was impressed at how quickly they responded, showing up the day after I called to give an estimate. There was some confusion as he started writing the estimate for a peach sapling in the corner of our yard, and even started to advise me that any lawn service could just pull it out and throw it in the back of his truck. Of course they could. Why would I call a tree service for a sapling? Because people do. All the time. Because people are stupid. He did revise the estimate when I told him over the phone to look to his left, then to look up so he was looking at the correct tree. The day after that, they showed up to cut it down. There was a delay with them returning to grind out the stump, but when they did they accomplished that faster than my wife could finish a business call. For both parts of the job I was impressed at how considerately and carefully they were able to navigate our wet yard and avoid our garden and the saplings we did want. Their price was reasonable, although their Yelp listing indicates a coupon link that doesn't work. read more

I had a large tree fall in my yard and was able to cut everything but the stump. I reached out to a couple of stump services and never heard back. Greg actually answered the phone, texted me back and Matt was out the next day to grind down the stump to pulp. Great job! I highly recommend them read more

Out of three estimates, ATS was the cheapest for removing a large silver maple and three large elm limbs overhanging our house. The crew was very careful and didn't damage the building or shrubs, cut the wood into fireplace lengths, and cleaned up the yard afterwards. Another crew came by later and ground the maple dump a foot below the surface so it won't sprout again. Everything Rick and I agreed to was done well - no complaints. Highly recommended! read more

I have used Affordable Tree Service three times over the past three years as we live on a wooded lot. It is always a pleasure working with them as they quickly come out for the free estimate, try to find the most efficient and cost effective solution for the particular job. I have recommended them to all my neighbors and a couple coworkers and so they have done work for all of them now and have also had great experiences. A+ tree service! read more

I got 6 quotes for cutting down 2 large 30 foot trees and 4 small 18 foot trees. The highest quote was 4 times what this company charged and most quotes were 2-3x as large. They worked efficiently and got the job done and cleaned up neatly after the removals. I don't know why any homeowner would use any other tree service other than Affordable Tree Service!!! One man who gave a quote mentioned that their "real" customers were commercial clients like big apartment complexes. So I guess they throw out ridiculously high estimates just to catch the occasional sucker. They might hook one third of the people they give estimates and it's pure gravy. But Affordable Tree Service seems to have mastered the skill and art of providing tree service to residential customers. And I am very thankful for that. read more

I've used ATS several times. They have good prices, work very hard and clean up very well afterwards. A few years ago they were slightly late for an appointment and it turned out they had cleared a tree that was blocking the a nearby street, making it passable for the community--no charge. They're good guys. I recommend them to all my neighbors. read more

Great experience with Affordable Tree Services - their quote for tree trimming was the best of four, and Rick and the team were highly efficient and absolutely excellent onsite. Suffice to say I'm very satisfied with the end result. It did take a minute get onto their schedule, and throughout the booking process I was pleased with the communication during a busy summer in this crazy year. I'll be contacting Affordable Tree Services about future tree needs! read more

Excellent experience from the estimate to the job. We had a large (huge) limb fall into our backyard. Rick came out the next day gave me a written estimate on the spot. He was knowledgeable and professional and didn't give me a run around the way the other two that I contacted did. And even better he had his crew out here the next day. The were fast and efficient and did a great job. I definitely would call on them again. read more

We just purchased a new home and needed some advice on a few trees that either needed to be removed or trimmed. I spoke to Rick who was very friendly and absolutely understands his craft wholeheartedly. We met with him on the property he gave us his honest assessment of our situation, spoke to the neighbor since part of the tree hung in their property, just to get a better understanding. He gave us a fair and honest quote, which agreed too. Their speed of service was remarkable. They were very professional and everything we discussed they took care of and now we are ready to recommend their services to whomever is in need. Thank you gentlemen for a job WELL DONE!

After waiting a month to get an estimate. I was given a 10:00 am time slot. I called in the morning to confirm was told yes you are down for 10:00. At 11:00 I called and was told that the 10:00 am was a 2 hr window I asked if they could check and see when they might arrive and was told they could not get in touch with the guys. Again I waited . At 12:10 called and cancelled . I lost a half a days work for nothing. I work 2 jobs that provide customer service and would never treat a potential customer this way. read more

Really bad experience with this company. Long overdue review, we had work done in June 2017. Their prices were cheap but sadly I got what I paid for.The large branches we had them remove from our trees because they were overhanging the house dinged the house on the way down, denting the siding slightly and leaving lichen residue on it. These branches were also cut off improperly - they cut into the branch collar and now my big beautiful trees are likely permanently damaged as the scars have not healed properly at all. We also had several trees cut down and had agreed they'd leave half of the wood to keep costs down, but it was supposed to be left in an area pre-marked by the owner with string. Instead the workers removed the string at the start of the job and proceeded to leave the wood wherever they felt like it, making my yard messier. The owner said he would come back and pick it up, but was incapable of scheduling this and never ended up doing so, stopped responding to me. This has taken hours for my husband and I to clean up since they left huge stumps that are very heavy, and we have hours left to go. They also agreed to cut some of the wood into firewood, but all they did was cut large tree trunks into 2-3 ft stumps, and didn't chop them up into fire logs at all so they are useless to us. They took longer than they said they would, showing up late and working half days instead of full ones and wasting hours of my time. Finally, the owner was just so rude. He insults just about everyone, including his son and myself, and has a odd manner about him in general. Look elsewhere is my advice. read more

I had a Bradford pear tree split in half during a storm, with one half completely down and the other half still standing healthy. We wanted the fallen half as well as the remaining tree cut down and removed. I asked a friend in the area if she had any recommendations and she recommended Affordable Tree Service. To be thorough, we also contact HomeAdvisor for tree removal services. Out of 3 contractors, Affordable Tree Service was by far the cheapest. My only complaint is that the office seems to be a bit sloppy. After we called back and agreed to the quote, we were told the earliest a crew could come was 10 days from now (which was not a problem). The crew showed up 3 days later unexpectedly to do the work. Luckily we were home since it was the weekend, and we had no issue, but it was strange and we were a little concerned there might an issue with payment since we had not signed a contract. The work itself was great! The guys finished quickly and were friendly. We paid after the work was done, and to make sure payment was received we also called the office to let them know. read more

Got several quotes from highly rated tree care firms (from Checkbook Magazine) and these guys came through for me. Fast, clear quote, scheduled work quickly, showed up on time and did a neat job. Workers were polite and friendly too. Very happy with their work. 3/5/20 read more

These guys are great. My elderly mother had a county imposed deadline due to a nosey neighbor. These guys could have not been better. They are a very busy office and I can see why. They have very reasonable rates. VERY! They are fast, efficient, and sweet. So sweet. All young guys who work well together. One of the guys climbed very high to cut our tree and he could see we were worried about him. So he waved to us. He was so sweet and adorable. All the guys were so wonderful and I can't say enough good things about them. So professional and hard working. Thank you for treating my mom well! read more

I'm a two-time customer of Affordable Tree Service. We initially needed a 30-40 foot evergreen cut down. It was too close to the house, leaning to one side, overgrown, and had utility lines running through it. I received estimates from about 5-6 different tree companies. All were professionals that I found here on this site. Affordable Tree Service gave me the best estimate *by far*. Some of the other companies' estimates were 3 times as much. Why? I have no idea! It's a tree. Yes, I know it can be a dangerous job. But it's not brain surgery. Some of the quotes we got were ridiculous. But they helped us to find Rick and his company! After cutting down the overgrown evergreen a couple months ago, we called him a second time to quote us on cutting down two more 30-40 foot cypress trees and to cut some fairly large limbs off a couple silver maples, and also to cut up and dispose a fallen tree from last winter's storms. Just as with the first time, Rick showed up when he said he would, spent some time surveying the work that needed to be done, gave us some good recommendations, and provided a simple breakdown of all the items on the estimate including options like grinding the stumps and mulching the tree/limbs. In addition to Rick's professionalism, his crew did a fantastic job. There were 5-6 guys, with all sorts of equipment ranging from large trucks, a skid-steer with lifter arms (not sure if that's the right term) to collect and carry the cut tree limbs and sections, and a large wood chipper. The crew worked like a well-oiled machine. While one guy was up in the tree cutting, another guy was operating the skid-steer to pick up the large branches and tree sections to take to the wood chipper, another guy was on the ground raking up the smaller bits, and another guy was operating the wood chipper. Very efficient. It was also nice to see that they took care to place large planks down so that the skid-steer didn't tear up the lawn as it moved from the tree to the wood chipper. We couldn't be happier with Rick & Affordable Tree Service and highly recommend them! read more

My husband and I love Rick and his crew. We had them cut down twelve trees when we first moved into our home and we recently called them back, two years later, to remove the stumps left behind from the trees they had cut. They work very quickly and their prices are very affordable. They are very quick to return your calls and get the service done. We will most certainly be using their services again in the future. read more

Excellent price, excellent job! I got three bids to take down 2 large (~65ft), dead silver maples in my back yard, grind the stumps and haul all away. Although all three bids were close to one another, Affordable's was the lowest. I then checked their ratings and customer comments on Yelp and elsewhere and decided to go with them. I can't say enough good things about the experience. They showed up on time, worked safely (including using ropes to safely remove four large limbs that had grown over my house and my next door neighbor's) efficiently, and were DONE in three hours. They used three trucks, a robotic stump grinder, and six staff. Really impressed at how their team communicated with each other and worked so safely yet efficiently. One tree was right up against a chain link fence and somehow they ground out the entire stump without a scratch on the fence (thanks for that extra effort, Ryan!) Highly recommended! read more

A tree fell in my parents backyard after some strong storms. We got the recommendation to work with Rick from our insurance adjuster and we were extremely pleased with the results of their service. The owner, Rick, came to the house for an estimate on the same day I called them. We scheduled removal the following day and the workers came early in the morning and left the backyard clean and tidy before the afternoon was over. Rick is very friendly and is understandable of our situation. Our family took down him information for future tree removal needs. read more

Much like other reviewers have said, Affordable Tree Service came back with a bid much less than three other bids to remove one VERY large tree in our yard, as well as some other smaller ones. Rick was always very helpful, prompt and nice. His crew worked very hard, were as neat as can be expected, and went the extra mile to make us happy. An excellent job. I would highly recommend this company. read more

We hired Rick to remove a large sycamore in our front yard. Unfortunately while removing the tree, a large branch fell and took out the power and fios line of our neighbor. Not good. Pepco came out and ended up having to cut our fios off as well. As I work from home this was a real issue and I had to go to rent temporaty office space. The tree should have likely been removed by a crane which would have mitigated what happened but really wasnt presented as an option to me (obviously more expensive). The tree branches that fell on our lawn had damaged the lawn and have required significant amount of sod and maintenance. I poor effort and I cannot recommend the service at this time. read more

Might be affordable but not reliable at all. First appointment made they did not keep and never called. The company followed up with me after three days later to come out and provide me with an estimate. I decided to give them the opportunity and allowed them to provide me with service cutting/pruning my trees. However, I called them back days later to use their service again to remove the tree stump and they scheduled the appointment for Saturday. Unfortunately, once again "no show". They never called me to cancel and/or reschedule the appointment. I will never use this company again and will not recommend them to anyone. Extremely really poor customer service! read more

We had quite a great experience with this service, one of three we called for an estimate. We had some very old oaks that needed limbs removed and branches cut back. Although it took a while for them to get out here for the job -- mainly due to numerous rain delays -- once the crew arrived, they did a very thorough job and were very quick with their work. Our trees look great now! The prices were super, too. They gave me the lowest estimate, but I also went with Affordable Tree Services because they came recommended by several people on our neighborhood listserv. read more

We had a very large tree next the road and that was dying and needed to be removed. They quoted us a very reasonable price to not only take down the tree and remove the debris but to ground down to stump as well. They did such a great job, the plants we had planted around the base of the tree survived the process. I will say the communication isn't perfect, but it certainly didn't affect the quality of work they put out. We didn't know they were coming when they did, I came home from work one day and the tree was gone. For me it was a happy surprise so I didn't care that I didn't have advance warning, but I do know there are some people that would have an issue with that. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to friends. read more

I hired ATS after getting quotes from 4 companies. They removed a very large oak tree in a tricky spot. ATS did a great job, carefully removing the tree and keeping my yard nice and clean. I would definitely recommend them! read more

We hired Rick to trim several large trees at the property. I am really happy about both the process and the outcome of our cooperation. The communication was easy and clear. The quality of work was excellent, while the pricing was very reasonable. Highly recommended. read more

They came out the next day to give us an estimate: Very reasonable for what we needed done. We had a very large tree that had died. That tree was next to a wooden fence we share with out neighbors and there were very large branches hanging over the fence in to the neighbors yard as well. We were really concerned the fence would be damaged and/or large branches would fall in to the neighbors yard damaging their utility shed and children's trampoline. Because of this, and other existing landscaping, the tree and large branches couldn't be allowed to just fall to the ground The company sent 5 guys, all very professional and pleasant to deal with. Every single branch was lowered to the ground by rope, there was not a scratch on the fence, our yard (and the neighbor's) was cleared and left pristine. They even asked our neighbors for permission to go on to their property to clean up clippings. We simply can't say enough good about the job they did for us and would highly recommend them. They do an excellent job, work very hard and are pleasant to deal with. read more

It is very difficult for me to write this review, it's both good and bad. But I must say something. I used ATS once before, they did a great job,, start to finish. And a great quote out of 4 I received. So, I had another tree that needed to come down, I naturally called Rick. Andrew came out gave me a fair price on the additional tree and grinding all the stumps. The CREW arrives the day agreed on for the work, and the crew foreman refused to do the work for the agreed on price. Not Rick, the owner, not Andrew who quoted it, but the crew foreman, Carlos, decided he wasn't going to do that tree for that price. He so much as told me I wasn't telling him the truth. That ticked me off. Who runs the show at ATS? Perhaps they should call ATS Carlos Tree Service, because obviously he makes the decisions. I don't know about you, but I know that piece of paper the quote was written on would be used to make sure I paid the correct amount, it evidently doesn't mean anything after that. So, I told Carlos he might as well pack up and go. Then I called Rich. Unfortunately, I still have not heard back from him. So, no, I would not recommend ATS any longer. If you can't do business on a mans word AND a written contract, well, you decide. Now, I have to start the process all over again. Shame on you! read more
