I had the misfortune of having a very large red oak fall on my house. NUF was my go to tree service. They came out with all the necessary equipment right on time and make quick work of a very difficult tree removal. The quoted price was very fair and right in line with what I was told to expect. I just can't say enough about the expertise and professionalism of this company. Thank you to everyone for making a very bad situation a little less stressful. read more

New Urban Forestry does mediocre work. I was quoted by Joe Orloff the onsite estimator an outrageous bid. Not one single competitor had it nearly as close to their exorbitant estimate. Their work is mediocre. I would not recommend. read more

NUF is fantastic! They consulted with me on a job to clear out over brush and a few trees that were struggling. They made a few additional suggestions that made a huge difference from a visual aspect. I highly highly recommend them. The crew was professional, timely, safe, and reliable. They cleaned up perfectly once the job was complete. I look forward to the next opportunity to use them. read more

New Urban Forestry - After major trimming and tree removal. - Tree Services Near Me

See all

Shawn and his crew are excellent to work with - we had many trees that needed to come down and some were tricky. I was surprised at the speed and efficiency that they all came down, and surprised that the noise level was not as bad as I thought it would be. Shawn is great to talk with and very thorough in getting all the details down. The crew were all nice and very respectful - highly professional on everything from how to cut trees down, to asking me if I wanted to save certain trees that were in the way of others coming down. The crew was interested in our landscaping project, and I enjoyed talking with them and watching how they went about the job. They fit in taking a few more trees down that we decided upon at the very last minute, and easily worked it into their schedule. For all that they did, how well they did it, courteous and left the place not messy - the price is right! Also, after talking with Shawn, I know that he takes good care of his employees, and that makes a world of difference in the job that they do. I highly recommend their services and will be working again with New Urban Forestry with any future tree issues or needs we have. read more

We are new to Athens after recently buying a home here. We needed a couple of dead trees removed and some others near the pool trimmed back in our Cedar Creek neighborhood. We met with owner Kevin a couple of weeks ago and got a reasonable estimate and today he and his crew arrived right on time to do the job. They did everything we asked and more. They were very concientious about cleaning up afterwards. Kevin and all the guys were very professional and personable and I highly recommend them. read more

They showed a clear understanding of the problem and suggested various ways to solve how to clear the limbs and shrubs growing into the roof and gutters. They went shrub by shrub or tree and asked whether pruning or removal was ok for me - and viable for the plants themselves. Very reliable and honest service. I definitely recommend them! read more

Removed 2 trees: *Very large red oak in back yard, very close to house, with significant basal decay *Large water oak in front of home, close to house, with wound/decay New Urban Forestry is now THE standard in Athens, GA, and for good reason. Kevin and his team of climbers are the only tree service in the Athens area who combine the use of innovative climbing techniques; the latest technology in tree cutting equipment; top tier safety including full hazard insurance; expert climbers who are also arborists; and the sustainable use of wood waste. In addition, Kevin and his entire crew are good and trustworthy people. We knew about our dangerous trees for a while after meeting with the city arborist, but we realized that the job would be expensive. After hearing universal praise about New Urban, we knew that ideally we wanted them to do our work; however, we also heard almost universally that they were expensive. We had a couple of other opinions on cost of removal, and for the difficult tree in the backyard precariously close to the house, the guesses we had come up with (around $3,000) were low. One company quoted us $4,200 to remove just the tree in the back, and another quote over $5,000! New Urban quoted and charged about $3,000 for the tree in the back. Not only do they have the best reputation, they also gave us the lowest quote! Their quote and charge for the tree in the front was also very competitive. New Urban's reputation as being expensive is really a myth. They are not expensive. As we found out, their prices are spot on for the level of quality service they provide. They arrived on the day of removal on time. They coordinated with the power company to cut our power, and cut it back on after they were finished in that area. They consulted with us to make a plan that would best avoid damaging our other trees, plants and property. They worked quickly and safely. Their expertise in climbing, cutting, grounding and cleaning up was astounding to watch. They were coordinated, they communicated with each other, they were a team. New Urban finished cutting the two trees in one day, which was amazing considering the size of the trees and their level of difficulty, especially the very large red oak in the backyard. The red oak was 6' from the house, and roughly 1' from the garage and front fence. It was a tight spot, and the tree was a huge danger to our property and our lives, potentially. On the second day, all they had left was clean up, which was done with minimal footprint. New Urban does the little things right, too. I mentioned that they coordinated with Georgia Power to cut off and cut back on the power. It was nice to not have to worry about that. They worked in a way that left minimal trace of their being in our yard, even cutting the tree stumps down very low. We're keeping the stumps because they look so good, not grinding them down. They left a mound of beautiful mulch, which we used generously all over the yard, even saving some. They had to take down a section of fence in the backyard, and they even replaced the fencing themselves. I'm not even sure they were supposed to do that, but they did it anyway. Kevin himself helped me transplant a little bush that was going to be in the way of the work during the job planning. The guys were always friendly, professional, and considerate of us. Its hard to not go on and on about New Urban. They were the most impressive of any service we've used in Athens, and that includes plumbers, electricians, contractors, etc. I cannot stress enough that if you're using any other tree service because of cost or another reason, you are using an inferior company. Use New Urban if at all possible. If anything, support their love of tree cutting, their best practices in safety, and their sustainable use of wood waste. read more

Excellent crew took down enormous pine tree with zero damage to existing landscape. Kevin pruned, trimmed, and cabled a tree that would have split. He was really easy to work with and managed to work around my schedule. I highly recommend this company. read more

I've used them in the past and have been very pleased. Recently they have gone off the radar screen and won't answer repeated emails and repeated phone calls. They may be out of business. read more

Did not show up when stated. Did not complete job satisfactorily yet billed for service. . Had to call another tree service.

My cat was stuck in a neighbor's tree for 2 days so I called them this morning to help get him out. They were friendly, reasonably priced, and very fast and I can't say enough how thankful I am for them! read more
