Excellent job at trimming two fairly large trees in our yard. They were also fairly priced. Will use them again.

Review Highlights - Joel's Tree Service

The stump was really close to a fence, but Joel's skill with the stump grinder was like watching a skilled surgeon.

I called and had an advisor come out to the house and looked at the 5 trees that needed trimming…read more An appointment was scheduled and the team showed up on time, even 10 minutes early. They completed the job in less than 3 hours. The trees now look like they should and the area has been thoroughly cleaned and looking better than whenthey arrived. If you want the best at a very reasobale price I suggest you call ProTrees and ask for Theron or Marci. Great people and responsive.

Update: Thanks for reaching out and offering to resolve the problem. I checked the sprinklers and…read morethey are working fine. Flowers and plants are also going to grow back soon. As far as I am concerned, the issue has been addressed to my satisfaction. My intention was just to be heard. I Would never want to hurt an honest business. Please just ask your staff to be mindful of neighbor's backyards. Best and luck and keep up the good work. They were working on my neighbor's trees on Wednesday, Sept 18. When I got home, they asked me for permission to clean up my backyard. I specifically told them there was a dog, showed them the front door, and asked them to knock on the door and wait for me. I emphasized that there was a dog and they shouldn't come in without letting me know. There is even a "Beware of the Dog" sign on the gate. They said they would do so in 5 minutes. A couple of minutes later I see someone in the backyard while the dog is running around. I shouted didn't I tell you to knock the front door first? The guy left. Since the dog didn't know what was happening, she got distracted and it took me some effort to bring her inside. I don't always come home at this time. Before littering someone's house, they need to check that they can clean up. The backyard was a complete mess. Had they left, it would have taken me some time to clean up. They dropped tree branches on my flowers, plants, and sprinklers. Anyone can cut trees without looking. If you are really professionals, you should be able to understand that you cannot just drop your trash wherever is more convenient for you.

Robin and her team are EXQUISITE. And I don't use that word often. We had massive tree trimming…read moreneeds after buying our house that had not had its trees trimmed in years - 9 trees total (2 palms, 4 olives, a pepper tree, and a few very large elms). From start to finish Robin was a pleasure to work with. She stopped by in person to evaluate the state of the trees and make great recommendations. She also took videos and took notes so she could relay her exact vision to her team that would be trimming the trees. Her team was also amazing. They cranked out this massive job in a single day and were super easy to work with and very efficient. Honestly couldn't believe how fast they worked and how great everything looks. At the end of the project the team shared pictures and spoke with Robin on the phone so she could ensure she was happy with how everything turned out. She even called out a few things that could be improved and they took care of it before they left. The cost was also very reasonable--and I check out 5 different vendors. They are a premium service that doesn't feel overpriced. I could not recommend Robin and her team more when it comes to tree/land services. Thank you again Robin and team!

This is the best tree cutting company I've ever used for my decades old magnolia tree. They arrived…read moreon time, and started working at eight in the morning. They really listened to my request to cut the canopy back. The lead man cutting made the whole tree look symmetrical and more beautiful than it's ever looked in years. He was fast and efficient and climbed all through the tree and lowered limbs carefully by ropes. His cleanup crew picked up debris and everything was taken to the curbside to be shredded later. The whole company is very well run and super efficient. They get my highest recommendation.
