Definitely recommend this business...Reasonably priced, showed up when he said he would, did an excellent job!

I identified a risky tree (a very large and tall tree) on my property that needed to be removed because it was in danger of falling on the house. After doing some research on the web, I procured an estimate and proposal from a fully-insured local tree service contractor with a good reputation and with great reviews to do the job, namely, from Hoods Tree Service. At a point about 2 hours into the job, after he had removed some of the top limbs (about 70 to 80 feet above ground), the owner, Robert Hood, informed me that he would be unable to proceed because he felt that the tree was too high-risk, and he feared that he might be killed if he continued the work, and he explained that there would be no charge for the 2 hours of work he'd already done. Best of all, he told me that the upper branches that he had been able to remove before ending the job had all been branches that had extended over the house, and with these branches removed, this greatly increased the chance that if the tree did fall within the next few months, that it would fall AWAY from the house, rather than onto it. Robert Hood kindly recommended another larger local tree service company to handle the dangerous job, telling me the company he was recommending is extremely competent at handling removal of very high-risk trees. He also warned me that the tree was so dangerous that the job would definitely require the use of a bucket lift or a crane! I did eventually contact and use the services of the larger company that Robert had recommended, and they did a great job, but it took them a long time, a large crew, and the use of a 72' boom lift (bucket lift) on caterpillar treads, and of course, the price for the job was justifiably quite a bit more than the original estimate from Hoods Tree Service. BTW, even though Robert would not allow me to pay him anything for the 2 hours of excellent work he had performed on the tree prior to having been forced to end the job, I plan to hire him soon to remove some dead limbs from another tree near the house that are overhanging the house, and so I am happy that he will at least get to finally make some money off work on the numerous trees on my forested mountainside property! I feel that Robert Hood of Hoods Tree Services is very competent, very professional, and very careful in his work! He is also very good at communicating with the customer about the job, the options, and about possible hazards, at every step of the way! read more

Hoods tree service did an outstanding job trimming and removing trees on our property. Robert and his team were professional and their approach was careful and considerate throughout the entire process. They maintained the integrity of the trees and landscape while removing what was needed to open up much needed space in the landscape that had become overgrown. At the end of each work day, they cleaned all of the debris from the work area. We would highly recommend Hoods Tree Service for any tree trimming and removal. read more

Hood's Tree Service did not do the all of the work that was discussed. His contract was vague. He Sued me for not paying the full contract amount. He was very nasty. I tried repeatedly to communicate with Mr. Hood to reach a fair agreement, however he sued me anyway. BUYER BEWARE!!!!! read more

Can't speak highly enough of the professionalism and expertise of Hoods Tree Service. Owner, Robert, is very knowledgeable and willing to share his expertise. He gave us a very fair price for the removal of several trees, grinding of the stumps, removal of old stumps, and thinning of several more trees. He and his son worked steadily and thoroughly over four days. Mr. Hood kept us informed throughout the project of problem areas or concerns that he had with regard to our trees. He also moved, cut (for firewood) and stacked a cord of wood from the felled trees. At the end of each day, they left the work areas neat and, at the end of the project, the areas were cleaned thoroughly. I feel fortunate to have discovered Hoods Tree Service and will call them whenever we need service in the future. I recommend them unreservedly! read more

Hoods did an excellent job of pruning our property in Wolfsville for my family, Jerry Coates. Blight and other causes made our beautiful weekend home a major liability. Hoods did an excellent job of pruning to allow other trees the ability to thrive. read more

As an update - we had a fairly large limb come down yesterday and also had some dead branches in the (same) cherry tree. I called Hoods Tree Service just on the off chance they could come by some time this week and take away the large branch and trim the dead ones. I had to be out this afternoon but when I came home the work was all done and a note left inside my door. Once again I'm very happy with the work and price! Thanks again! read more

I needed to have a very large Juniper tree removed and Hoods was one of 3 companies that I contacted. Robert gave me an estimate and he was very clear about how the work would be done. I chose Hoods to do the work and told Robert that we would have to wait until my HOA signed off on the removal. He assured me that his estimate was good until the work could be approved. The tree has been removed now and the work that Robert did was impeccable and I highly recommend Hoods Tree Service. read more

Could not be more pleased! We didn't necessarily want to go with the CHEAPEST, because we had a tree that was intertwined with some electric lines. Certainly didn't want a fly-by-night service. But they just happened to end UP the cheapest and were so friendly and thorough! Stumps were ground so that grass seed can be easily applied later, all tree remnants removed, yard looked great after they left! Highly recommend! read more
