Nick started off strong...cutting my grass, weed eating, edging, removing algae from my roof…read moreshingles, cutting back yucca bushes, pruning limbs and cutting back limbs of cedar trees that grew over my shed as well as other misc. things he did when there was no grass to cut from December of 2023 to April 5, 2025. Then on 4-18-2025, he didn't show up. I called, left a voicemail, texted and sent a message through Yelp and no answer back from him. Every invoice was paid in full so I'm not behind on any payments. There are small incidences that have occurred over time that I didn't hold against Nick as they seemed out of his control. But it has now been three weeks since he was last out at my place and no word back from him yet. Not sure what happened as I don't have an explanation as to what has led to his absence. I would say that Nick is a dependable and reliable guy up to this point. I really hate to assume that he has chosen to end his contract with me without mentioning that that is his intention. Whatever the case may be...I hope everything is okay with him and I suppose I will have to start looking for another lawn care company now.

Two other contractors came out and never even gave me a bid the trees were so large, they didn't want to do it. But Southern Roots wasn't afraid. They showed up on time, cut the 70 foot dead tree down without hitting either my fence or my shed. They were polite, cleaned up all of the mess, and was it ever fun to watch. If you need trees cut, this is the business to use, you won't regret it.

This business was recommended by a neighbor. I also sourced 2 additional estimates from other…read morecomparable companies. A couple improvements would make this business exceptional. I would categorize my experience with this business as mostly positive with a few frustrating issues. The owner is exceptionally knowledgeable when it comes to trees, academic actually. And far superior to the other companies I interviewed. I would say this was the most prominent reason I hired him. I found his crew to be extremely professional and very efficient. They all knew the order of business for the day and what the responsibilities/expectations were of each team member, even when the boss wasn't there. They worked hard and did not waste time. I would also like to add they were respectful of my property and cognizant of not damaging it with the equipment. The areas I believe need improvement are related to communication and follow-up/-through. My service was split into 2 parts and were conducted on separate days, tree removal and stump grinding, respectively due to utilities marking. Zero issues with the first day The second visit was delayed, however, and that wasn't communicated to me until the crew didn't show up. It was explained to me only when I called them after they were already several hours late. They did show up promptly the second time. The second day did run late because they had to start late which wasn't an issue for me, but it did contribute to the second issue. By the time the stump grinding was finished, the batteries on the blower were dead and the street and driveways were not able to be cleaned up. It was quite messy and bad enough that I would have gotten a ticket from my HOA. I was assured before they left that they would swing by first thing in the morning to blow them clean. I had to call 2 more times to get someone out to do it and then they still left the driveways a mess. I had to go out and sweep my driveway myself, which is an issue because my capabilities are limited. Lastly, my contract included following-up service to remove a treatment wrap on my tree six months later. It never happened. I had to go out and do it myself. Would I hire Southern Roots again? Yes, but with some caveats. I would probably interview some competitive companies first to see what they had to offer. I would also expect to have to deal with the above issues and know I would have to stay on them to follow-through. I would consider the issues I dealt with as minor and irritating, rather than a show-stopper.

After 4 quotes, we found the price to be reasonable, so we made contact. The Team worked around our vacation schedule to make this happen quickly, and the work was done with precision! 10 feet of the dead tree was over our neighbors roof. 15 feet of the live part of the tree was over our roof. Yeah, I was very nervous about roof damage. They set up a pulley system and cut and lowered each piece like it was a priceless piece of art. There was no dropping 20 foot sections from 50+ feet in the air. Besides the 2 houses, also under the tree was azaleas, both still living and unharmed, blackberry bushes - also unharmed, and out sewer pipe feed-in. Also undamaged. They cleaned the yard before they left, and when they were cutting the tree, they asked if I wanted firewood. I asked for half the tree, and they cut half the tree to 18 inch size pieces I could split. The remaining half they took away. I would very highly recommend them. In addition to being a local group, they were highly professional, they were 15 minutes early, they respected my property and needs, and they cut firewood for my firepit.

We had three estimates, with Blaine (I think he's an owner) coming out to do the estimate. He's kind of rough around the edges but brutally honest and down to earth, and did not try to upsell me anything like the others did, and I liked that. Besides, his estimate was about half what the others would have charged for the same work. The crew arrived on time, were friendly and professional and did an OUTSTANDING job. I watched Butch grind the stump at least a foot down from the grass line. My trees have never looked better, and we have had them trimmed several times by others who charged more. I intended to run the tiding mower with bagger after they removed the massive sticky-ball tree from the yard, but they did such a thorough cleanup afterward that I didn't need to. They even cleaned up debris that wasn't from the tree work. The yards, back and front, looked much better than when they arrived. Lastly, Ricky was the tree climber and was a wild man. He did a fantastic job navigating and trimming my trees even to the upper branches, at least 75 feet up. He does how-to videos on YT as GeneJerz or #Genejerz, check out my house and the job the crew did. Top Notch is now my go-to tree service. I don't need to look anywhere else.
