Finding a tree-service company that responds in a timely manner and then actually does the work proved to be more challenging than we expected. The AKA Tree Service crew proved that it can be done! Taylor is the sales person we dealt with, and he was professional from the get-go. With the winter weather we've been having, getting the crew scheduled to come out took a little doing, but they were still out within a week of booking the service. They arrived early, finished the work, and left our yard in great condition. We would use AKA Tree Service again. read more

Very reliable. Scott has a great crew. Wouldn't use anyone else for tree service. Doesn't take them long to complete the job and they clean up. Yard looks like it did before. read more

Highly recommend this company. Had some trimming and some tree removal done by them. Knowledgeable and very well equipped to handle must tree work. read more

I've used these folks a few time. They are quick, reasonably priced, always clean up afterwards. Recently I had them take down some big pines (over 31/2' across) that were between my home and my neighbors. They brought everything down with minimal disturbance to the heavy surrounding tree canopy. Great job. I worked with Scott Overstreet. Good guy. Oversaw the project and kept things rolling even though we had a lot of rain. read more

Big shout out to the folks at Gwinnett Place Honda for getting me into the car of my dreams - was expecting a typical dealership but was surprised and pleased to find excellent attention and level of service. My initial contact came online so I was routed to Joseph Yim, who manages online sales, and he hooked me up with Juan DaLao, who was very attentive and knew that I knew what I wanted and nothing else will do . My new black edition pilot is perfect! read more

AKA Tree Service - Tree Services Near Me - Oakwood, Georgia

I don't know what kind of work this company does but I'm giving them a 1 star review for the ASTRONOMILLY OSCENE price they quoted me to remove my downed trees after this latest storm. The 17,000 quote did not even cover the stump grinding or removal. I found a lessened company (also with great reviews) to do it ALL - front and back including stump grinding for $6500! That includes the neighbors tree. Red Oak is the company I'm going with - they're not grinding desperate people with obscene pricing! read more

We hired AKA and they did and excellent job! They were on time and worked all day until all the trees around our building were trimmed. I would give them 6 stars for their service if possible! Just be sure they remove all the branches and limbs before the leave though, because if they leave anything behind, you might not see them again. read more

This company has been nothing but helpful and extremely affordable on my tight budget. I can not give them any higher praise. You can't go wrong using AKA. read more

Needed some trees trimmed and a couple removed. AKA was recommended by neighbors down the street and could not be happier. AKA came out with a crew of 5 and took care of everything fast, efficient and safe. They worked as a well practiced team and were in and out in under 3 hrs. Very happy with their work and service, will gladly call them again when needed. read more

On Nov 16, 2023, I contacted AKA tree service to remove two trees in my front yard and to grind out the stumps, so that I could plant new trees. AKA contractually agreed to remove the trees for $1200.00 and grind the stumps 4-6" below grade for $300.00. On November 28, 2023 the trees were removed. They did a good job on the tree removal. Also, according to the neighbors, it was fast. However, the stump grinding was a nightmare. Grinding was completed on December 9, 2023. When I removed the wood shavings, I discovered that the stump were not ground below grade at all. In fact one stump was only ground to the top of the planter, which sits about 9" above grade. The other stump was more than 13" above grade. In each case they were ground to the top of the planter. Not even below grade of the planter, let alone - actual grade. When I called AKA, I was told that AKA contracted another company to do the grinding, and they did not have the right equipment. After several inquiries, AKA expressed uncertainty on when they would be able to send someone out to do the work correctly. They also expressed uncertainty about their ability to secure the proper equipment. So, I proposed to AKA I would pay them $100.00 to settle the contract so that I can move on with someone else to avoid HOA fines, as my brick planters were dissembled by AKA and not reassembled and the yard was in disarray, while I waited for grinding to be completed. Out of concern for additional delays, I informed AKA that I had quotes from other stump grinders and one provided a guarantee that they could grind the stumps at least 12" below grade. On, December 18, 2023 I paid another company who did the grinding, achieving 20" and 18" below grade for each stump, respectively. AKA said that they would bill me for $150.00 for the grinding work that they did, instead of $300.00. Although, I was willing to pay $100.00 make it all go away -- despite AKA not meeting their contractual obligation, $150.00 was unacceptable. However, I paid the bill out of frustration and the need to move on. To add insult to injury, I remitted payment for the tree removal part of the bill ($1200.00), on December 1. However, the $150.00 - adjusted invoice did not reflect my earlier payment of $1200.00, which required additional back and forth. Altogether, the experience was frustrated with delays, poor quality for the grinding, and back and forth communications. I am providing a two star, because the tree removal part was done satisfactorily, but the overall experience destroyed the good feelings about the tree removal. read more

We have been looking for a quality and competent tree removal service to take down several problem trees around our home before the next big storm does. A couple of those trees that blocked the sun from warming our in-ground pool. We were amazed at the range in prices from the different vendors that we had come out for estimates. Finally we had Jake from AKA visit us and after reviewing our needs he came up with a reasonable quote and gave us credit for a discount coupon from a local newspaper. On "tree removal day" the crews arrived promptly on time. They went about their prep work competently and with care for the rest of our plants and home. The tree workers operated safely and efficiently. One of the trees was a really old tulip poplar just six feet from our rear deck. It had four large trees rising from the base each about 100 feet tall. There were splits near the base and evidence that rot was growing in it. A friend of ours who is an arborist suggested we would be wise to remove it before it went down on its own. The AKA guys successfully got it all down in just a couple hours - nothing damaged. We treated the guys to pastries and lunch as well as a cooler full of bottled water. Except for a blown hydraulic line on the log lifter tractor all went well. They fixed the hydraulic line and continued through to completion by late afternoon. They cleaned up the site and left us the oak logs to be recycled into firewood for next winter. We were pleased with AKA and would not hesitate to use them again. read more

Had about 1,200 trees removed and was satisfied with the service I received from these guys. Good communication and work was preformed in a timely manner, especially with the amount I had removed. read more

Great company! Showed up well dressed. On time. And left my yard ABSOLUTELY SPOTLESS. I couldn't tell they were even there other than a tree was missing! Lol. Would recommend them in a heart beat. Jay Wilson is first in class and will always be honest with you with what going on. Trust this company. They do it the right way with right heart! read more

We have a farm in Covington and used AKA to clean up trees around the property. We have had a lot of tree work done on this property and properties elsewhere and had high expectations for AKA. When the work was complete, we did have a few concerns. When we were contacted by Nathan, our rep, we let him know. Well...they were on it and Nathan and Brian were out to the property right away. They came back again to do more work and we couldn't be happier. We were blown away by their professionalism and attention to customer satisfaction. Thank you AKA for everything! We highly recommend this company. read more

Absolutely terrible! Their "foreman" really didn't know what he was doing and they obliterated our yard and we had to call and bother them nonstop to come reseed. They did not have enough boards and thought it was ok to completely tear up our yard and make it a mud pit. They also tore up our SOD, not just grass and did not replace it. I would not recommend this company. After they leave everything a mess, they make it difficult to get in contact with them. Then when they finally did send someone, they sent one poor fellow to grate and reseed our large yard. My husband literally went out to help him because it was that sorry. They also do not have proper equipment to grade or fix anything. I'm surprised they have what they need to take trees down. Do not use this company, they are the worst! read more

AKA is as professional and thorough as they come. The team did a great job trimming back my trees and cleaned up afterward. Don't risk it with one of those "guy with a truck and saw" companies. AKA has the equipment and expertise to do the job right. read more

Horrible!!!! This company is not realible & ultimately gave my family disappointment. They left behind a complete mess not just in front of our property but towards the neighbor's also. They lied about the quote and final price for which services would be included the job figure. That type of handling is unacceptable. My family was quoted & rescheduled the day of our intitial job by Mr. Lee Smith. We had to push everything out an additional week. He even had to ask again how much he had quoted for the job. Are you kidding you're that disorganized that you don't have your estimate documentation?!?! This operation was so scattered & unprofessional. After Mr. Lee Smith assured us he'd be present at our house by 8am the next day. He was no where to be seen the entire time until the crew left on the project day. I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt but that was sooooo wrong. Only workers were appeared there late with one man that seemed to be the project manager, who had a very rude aapproach to my entire family. We would ask him questions to which he would be as curt & dismissive as possible. He even stated that he & his crew would be taking all the wood to sell but they'd need to store it in the front of our house over night....WTH!?! So, you re making money on the project to cut down trees & now you're using our property as a storage station to sell the trees later. Mr. Lee Smith wasn't even aware of this apparently. Which he should've been running a fighter ship. He even lied or completely forgot that he said the stump in our front yard would be removed. He charged us an extra $200 only to say on the day of the job there was no such promise. Then why would I agree to an extra $200??!?!? Totally ridiculous!! So, he kept saying we don't even have the equipment for that. WTH?!? So, stressful & chaotic!! Once the majority of requested tasks got wrapped up. They demanded their payment & packed up quickly not thoroughly explain after care & satisfaction questions. We dealt with neighbors & the local authority complaining about the wood chips & waste set aside on the property. It was urgent that they get back to clean it up properly but they never did. Numerous calls were made only to be ignored & set with a view of well "I've collected my money so that's done." That's terrible customer service & deplorable way to market. I felt so bad they treated us like fools. I want others to know that they can get much better service elsewhere. Even if paying morperformance e, you can at least get great quality work from start to finish. Instead, of lackluster performance that is skipping steps to just run off with their payout. After packing up because they were wanting to leave fast, fast, fast with crew said they will be back in the morning to pick up some woods mainly for them to resell and they just came & didn't even notify us they were there again & disappeared. So I called Mr. Lee Smith and told him about the war zone of mess & he assured my family that his crew would be out to clean it up, even stating if they udon't he would do it himself!!!! Why are you saying things you don't want to fulfill!! Now his company & Mr. Lee Smith are making every effort to avoid our calls!!!!! Obviously, they don't care about customer retention!!!! Such a huge disappointment & shame!!!! read more

Nate from Aka tree removal showed outstanding customer service and professionalism from beginning to end. As the arborist he was knowledge and explained my options and answered every minute question I had. In addition, the customer service and scheduling staff was friendly and eager to answer every question I had too regarding payment and scheduling. The crew came out removed two giant oaks in the front yard and did an impeccable job! I cannot say enough great things about this honest family run business! read more

Just had a bunch of trees removed in the back and front of my house and this company did it quickly and also left no damages to my house. There were some huge oak trees that were leaning over my house and these guys got everything down without anything even touching the roof or side of my house. Amazing crew, very professional and great pricing. I highly recommend this company! read more

Tree service done was professional. But.....after the initial work they were very un-professional to say the least. Whoever did the billing / accounts has an attitude when talking to you. With the amount spent this was not something I wanted to deal with. Will not use this company again. read more

You want a tree service that goes the "extra mile? Got more than I paid for using these guy! On time! Respectful of our driveway and grounds! Great attitude when asked to cut a few limbs that weren't detailed on the estimate. And get this, a huge pine tree was cut down that straddled the property line with my neighbor who said "No!" initially, but later reluctantly agreed for it to cut down. When AKA's stump grinder showed up I ask him to grind two more old stumps near the big one I was paying for. They were both clearly on my neighbor's yard. I was ready for an additional charge, but he said "No problem, I'll do it for free!" My neighbor was so happy and felt so good about cooperating with me! AKA helped me "be a good neighbor"! Call this company! You and your neighbors will be happy you did! read more

Great price for removing trees and stumps! Great service from Lee as well. They are now my go-to tree removers.

I hired AKA to remove two trees and trim several others. The arrived 10 minutes EARLY (wow!!), were wonderful to work with, and had some great suggestions. They took down an additional tree that I asked to have trimmed because they could see it was dying. Didn't hesitate to bring it to my attention, let me make the decision, and then didn't charge me additional!!! When they were done they cleaned up the entire yard, road and surrounding area. I will definitely use them in the future, and would absolutely recommend them to others. I'm not getting anything for this review except the satisfaction of passing along good news for others. I'm also including my name for reference -- that's how pleased I am! Carolyn Narreau read more

I had a tree limb overhanging on my street and if it fell it could damage a car or a person. AKA gave me a great quote and came out promptly with a chipper and an 8 person crew and had it down in about an hour plus they trimmed it up and it looks great! I highly recommend them! read more

We had different estimates and A.K.A. TREE REMOVAL was by far the best rate. We got an estimate to only remove two trees and no stump grinding with the first company. With A.K.A. TREE REMOVAL, Byran gave us an estimate to remove 1 large tree, 4 small trees and grind 6 stumps. The day the guys got here, I asked if they could remove 4 Yucca shrubs and grind those stumps as well. A.K.A. TREE REMOVAL charged much less than the first estimate we received and they did so much more. Cody, the foreman, and his team removed the trees. They removed the stumps and raked up the rest. Then, they put everything in the chipper shredder. Mike, who grinded the stumps, cleaned up everything as well. These guys are reliable, quick and very reasonably priced. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A.K.A. TREE REMOVAL. read more

Very Professional and Polite. A K A Did a great job on removing trees from my property. I would definitely recommend this company if you need any tree service for your home or business!! read more

Quality of work is just okay. Once you sign the agreement, they show up anytime. No communications even after requesting a call. The crew doesn't respect your property, damages are only repaired if noticed.. I would never use them again. read more

Had a very good experience with AKA. They did a fairly big job taking out 9 trees and trimming up a few others. The quote was fair and didn't change. The first day they did all the tree work and cleaned up before leaving, including blowing off my deck. He next day they returned as promised to grind the stumps. Overall I was very pleased and would highly recommend. read more

I cannot thank this company (Especially Lee and his crew) for coming out to my house today and cutting my trees down. I called this morning in hopes they could fit me in before the storm hit. Given my current situation the last thing I needed was a tree coming through my house and putting my family at risk. Just an amazing group of guys and very reasonable prices. Thank you so much for what you guys did for me today. read more

I can't say enough good things about this company. We had a tree coming down on our house and it was damaging the roof and tore the gutters down. I looked them up on Yelp and called on a Sunday morning Justin came out and was very professional. No pressure but just the facts. Described the danger and allowed us to make the decision to remove the trees that had damaged our home. Within an hour he gathered a crew and they showed up and removed two hardwoods. They have all the equipment and manpower to do a quick professional job. They are licensed, bonded and verified. It wasn't cheap but I would say worth what we paid for peace of mind. Very pleased. read more

I signed a work order with AKA Tree Removal on 4/1/2015 to have a problematic tree removed. I was told it would be about 2 weeks. That is now over 7 weeks ago. Around week 3, I started calling (once a week) -- it's been 4 calls now. The answering service takes my information - all I'm asking is for a callback to let us know if they'll be out soon; if they don't know when they'll be out; or that they don't want to honor the "contract" and we should find another tree removal company. Very frustrating. read more

Dusty Jenkins came out to give a quote. We were happy with his price to remove 3 trees and trim some others. We singed a contract for him to do the job and he said he would call to schedule a time. Days past, we finally called and he told us he would call to schedule in a few days that they were busy. 2 weeks later and still no call. So we called him to find out when they would be able to make it out. He proceeded to cuss out my husband on the phone. When my husband asked to speak to his supervisor, he claimed to be the supervisor. If he is, then this company needs to reevaluate who they put in charge and let deal with customers. I would never recommend this company. Poor customer service read more

Great crew. Received a fare price. Professional work. Had six trees cut down in front yard and stump grinding. In and out in three hours.

AKA Tree removal is awesome! They gave a wonderful price, showed up on time, as promised and was very efficient in removing the trees that needed to come down. The crew was very polite and professional. The clean up was great too. My next door neighbors were so impressed that they hired them right on the spot! Highly recommend. read more

Our neighbor used AKA to have some trees removed. The trees were right on the property line between our houses and some of the branches brushed against our roof while being removed. After AKA left my wife and I went outside and noticed one of the vents on our roof had been bent sideways and the cap crushed. I immediately called AKA to report the damage. No one responded, so the next day I called the salesman my neighbor had dealt with. He came out, while we were not home, and determined, from the ground "there was no way the tree removal caused the damage". When I disagreed I was told to "prove it". We continued dealing with the owner and were told that a roofing company would be coming out to fix the damage. No one ever contacted us (over 2 weeks later) even after several more messages were left on the owners voice mail. Due to bad weather, I made the repairs myself to avoid further roof damage. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY due to their lack of taking responsibility for their damage and not fulfilling their word to repair their damage!!! P.S. I am a 60 year old man that takes excellent care of my house and yard and am not trying to get a free fix as was implied by AKA. It's not about the money, it's about doing the right thing. read more

Fast, clean and fairly priced. I'm very happy with the service I received and the price was competitive.

Had Keenan come out & give me an estimate for emergency tree removal last year. Expensive, but he came out same day & said the crew could start tomorrow. Everything was great until they didn't show up to remove the stump, which was huge, ripped out of the ground by the fall & left tied precariously to another tree so it wouldn't roll down my sloped yard. After a lot of waiting, Keenan called to request payment, which we refused until the job was finished. He got very argumentative & said he couldn't remove it because he couldn't get the equipment to the site. Yet he had included it in the original estimate. We also offered to have another company remove the stump & deduct the cost from his payment. He refused. He just wanted me to pay him his full price ($3000+) and leave that giant ripped-out-of-the-ground stump dangling in my yard. Eventually, they did take it out, but it took so long & was such an ordeal that I would never recommend AKA. read more
