5 stars just isn't enough. I woke up one morning to a text from my mom with a picture of what looked liked a large branch which had broken from her tree. Her text said, "Tomorrow, on my day off, I'm going to saw it down to dump!" My mom is a bit older and very petite, so when I read this, I imagined mom with a hand saw in the middle of her driveway and I laughed and responded, "No, I'll take care of it for you." I live in Southern California and mom lives in Reno, so I couldn't just come over and clean it up for her, unfortunately. I first called waste management, they apparently don't do bulk pickups in Reno. I went onto Yelp and searched tree removal, stumbled across Greater America Tree Service and gave them a call. Mark, who answered the phone, was very professional and polite. I explained to him the situation, he asked me to text him the pictures mom had sent me. He responded with a fair estimate. Not even an hour later, I get a call and text back to let me know that they had finished. Talk about speedy service. What's even more awesome is they decided not to charge me. Apparently, the branch was a lot smaller than it appeared in the pictures. So they just went ahead and took care of it. Poor guys spent more on gas money to get out there! Bottom line, I would highly recommend Greater Nevada Tree Service and will be referring them to anyone in Reno that needs tree trimming or removal. Unexpected kind acts from strangers are so rare these days, my mom and I greatly appreciate what they did. Although it may not have been much work for them, it saved me a lot of worrying and saved my mom a lot of physical labor. Thank you again!! read more

Given my not-so-amazing (read: terrible) experience with another tree guy in the city, I had pretty low expectations. Which were promptly exceeded. Called the tree guys at 12:15 on a Tuesday. They answered, came over, and my tree issues were complete by 1:15 the same day (while it was snowing, mind you). They were friendly, professional, and gave great advice. They had just finished up a large job so there was a whole troop of them! Made the job go so quickly and gave me someone to chat with while I watched them work. I don't have a lot of tree needs, but if I do I will definitely be calling these guys up again. read more

Great guys. They came over quickly and since my job was so small, they just took care of my small tree removal. Very nice and cleaned up after themselves. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

I called these folks to remove a tree that was going to fall on a fence at a complex I run. They showed up wanting payment before the job was even started I reluctantly agreed, after they received the check the cancelled the tree removal three times and then had to come back three more times to finish the job. The girl that works for them named Emiley was in the tree in flip flops, I got a complaint from the business next door that the people I hired were on drugs. I had to hound them for almost three weeks for them to cut the tree down, they never finished the job and I still have a big mess on property not to mention that they never finished the stump grinding either, I'm filing suite as these people are obviously on something and they will scam u and not complete the work. It's the principle of the matter and I will gladly pay to sue at this point. They fence was down for a week. read more

This is the WORST company I've ever had the unfortunate experience to work with. They are so unprofessional. I hired them to remove a tree in my front yard, paid them, and two months later they have still not finished the job. They have completely refused to return my phone calls and text messages. They destroyed my yard, didn't clean up their mess of tree branches and limbs, and refused to finish the job. I will be seeking legal action against them. Do not hire this company...you will regret it! read more

There is an art to cutting down a tree. Especially if it's beetle ridden and old, and hulking over a newly roofed house. The guys at Greater Nevada Tree Service are extremely competent and skillful in their art. If you need to have your hazardous tree removed, call these guys. Very professional, and great teamwork! read more

Called these guys for an estimate on a removal of a large tree on a Tuesday got VM so left a message Wednesday night they showed up at my place at 5pm with no phone call/ notice they were coming. middle of making dinner for my young kids. quoted me $3000-4500!! When I said I would call a couple more places they talked down other companies saying they would cost a lot more. (specifically said I was looking at about $6000 if I used other places) I had the whole tree removed for $1200 from an other company. Way to pricey for the average joe :) read more

They came out to give us a quote and were able to remove the trees the same day. They cleaned up the entire job site and you could not even tell that they were here. I would use them again in the future. read more

I'm not sure about these other reviews, but I got nothing but unprofessionalism from this company. They came to my door one day soliciting their services, my husband decided we needed a few branches cut off for to the upcoming storms. So I call the Marx owner, only to be greeted with a rushed 'hello, yeah?' when I called. I was confused and asked if this was the business owner, he then proceeded to tell me his son was in the hospital and he didn't recognize the number (if you're a business owner, shouldn't you have a business phone to, I don't know, answer potential customer calls from unknown numbers?) Anyways, we ended up having him and another gentleman come out and give us an estimate. We had a pretty large tree and only wanted to trim off the 3 leader branches and one on the other side that were compromising our rooftop. $600-675?!? My husband then told them that was pretty steep and we were going to have another service come out and give another estimate. They then asked who the other company was and that they were much more expensive, basically (in a nice way) talking down on the next company to get our business. We had the other company come out and they gave us an estimate of $325. Why was the other estimate less than half the price? Weird. Anyways, my husband called them back and they agreed on a $300 price to get our business for one side of the tree for them to come by on that Saturday, since they repeatedly said they were a smaller local business and seemed like they needed the business since they were out soliciting. A few days and Saturday go by with no contact from this Greater Nevada company, so my husband calls back to see what's going on. Marx then tells us that he can't do the job for the price he agreed on and that we need to find another company. Couldn't call us to let us know? Funny that we did find the other company and they cut the branches for less than the $300 originally quoted. Very unprofessional and over priced, especially for a small business who came to MY door for work. read more

The guys just removed several small trees and cleaned up some larger trees that needed shaping and limbing. They were knowledgable and had good advice on what would be best for the health of the trees. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. They were friendly and my yard looked great, they took care to pick up all of the little twigs and blow all the leaves after they were done. read more

Great service! Professional and kind! Harold and his colleagues are honest, prompt, and knowledgeable. My job was huge and they finished it quickly. read more

Marx and his crew did a great job. Came to the house on time as expected and were very professional. You couldn't even tell they'd been here when they finished cleaning up, except for the beautiful trimmed trees. We highly recommend them and will use them again. read more

These guys arrived on time and got right to work trimming and removing a number of trees that needed attention. Very good at helping me choose a plan of action and phasing the work that needed to be done. Trees look great now and my yard is safer because of the good work they've done -- they're a congenial bunch too! I'll def be using them again. read more

Very pleased with the job from the estimate to the cleanup. They were knowledgeable, friendly and hard working. I will continue to use them for winter/spring tree trimming. The price for the job was more than fair and money well spent. read more
