Doug and his son took down a very large sweet gum tree in our backyard. It was too close to our house, the neighbors house, and numerous other large trees, but that did not stop this crew from an efficient removal. They were successful in removing the gigantic dead limb from a separate tree that loomed over the carport, as well as getting rid of shrubbery roots underneath so I could build my fence. They were kind enough to haul away all of the yard waste, but left me some good cut wood to burn in my fire pit. All of this hard work was done within just a couple weeks after I reached out during a busy holiday season, and at a very reasonable price. I will definitely use Southfork Tree next time I need some help. read more

Doug and his crew are great! I have used him once for an emergency, on very large limb that fell down and then recently to take down a very large tree in my backyard. It was in tricky location and he did an amazing job! It was more than a one day job and they cleaned up at end of day very nicely. I would highly recommend them. read more

Doug and this company is great! We have used them twice now in emergency situations. First, was after a storm knocked half of our tree onto our roof and power lines. Doug came out immediately at 11pm and cleared everything safely. Second, was after wind blew down a large branch onto our fence. He came out the same day and had the branch cleaned up within hours. We ended up hiring him to take the rest of the tree down and his company worked quickly and finished the job the very next day. He even trimmed a branch on another tree in our yard that he noticed was dying just to be nice since it was over our driveway and could have fallen on our car eventually. He is very nice, fast, and delivers high-quality service! He is affordable and worth every penny! Thanks, Doug!!! read more

See all

You will be treated right by this company! We had storm damage to two 70 ft trees which had to be taken down to the ground. Doug gave us a written bid for the scope of work and we accepted. He showed up with his crew and they took care of this enormous undertaking of cutting down and removing all of the debris from these two old trees. He also had all of the necessary heavy duty equipment to do this job! They were also mindful to take care of the yard as the heavy equipment needed to get to the backyard for the job! All went as planned and we were 100% satisfied with the way the job went from start to finish! Professional, efficient, hard working crew! Quality of work and value of money spent will give them our business again. Thank you guys! Tim & Sheryl Dangos read more

Doug arrived on site, removed three trees, three stumps and left after 90 minutes, Job Complete! Did a superior job of cleaning up. Southfork is the best. read more

Thank goodness for Southfork Tree's 24/7 emergency service!! When I had a tree fall through my roof in the middle of the night, Doug kept a bad situation from getting way worse. He answered right away, came quickly (again, this was legitimately the middle of the night), and did a great job taking care of the immediate problem and tarping the roof. Then he came back the next day - when he had planned to have a day off - to remove the rest of the tree, expertly avoiding more damage despite the position of the fallen tree. He was straightforward about pricing and such a nice guy to boot! Definitely recommend. read more

Did not do what he said he would. He came in the evening and left after dark so I could not see the big limbs he left.I told he I had no way to cut those limbs. I am very unhappy but he did do the right job on my one tree. read more

I totally agree with the quality of work of Mr. Alsip described in Marcy A's review. Mr. Alsip clearly has many years of experience in his profession and he and his crew cut our large backyard tree down with great care and thought. He had his challenges with overhead wires, nearby small structures, neighbor property lines nearby, and my wife's garden that is her pride and joy. He is a pleasure to work with and my wife and I could tell that he was a good and honest man. He gave us a brief insight into the faith that guides his life and the importance of his children. I expect that Doug is a wonderful role model for anyone who knows him and I cannot recall a man in his business whom I admire more for his skill, work ethic, and honesty.

Southfork was super helpful, quick, and worth every dollar. This was just for a trimming above my house and they came out very shortly after I called to see what needed to be done. They gave me a date like a month out but had an opening maybe a week later and came by. Good people who do good work. read more

Excellent job in removing a dead leaning Cherry tree on my property. Tree was leaning on a fence and the fence was never touched in the removal of the tree. read more

Southfork trimmed 1 Maple and 3 Pin Oak trees. Doug has made them beautiful again. I was ready to chop them down but he has opened up our view, made the trees healthier, removed limbs close to the house and away from the street traffic. I am truly amazed at how nice the trees look now. Doug has an artistic talent that only comes from wanting to do a good job and to please his customers. Doug and his crew are hard workers and pleasant to work with. They also have a 50+ foot lift that can get through a standard fence gate. This is the second time we have come to Doug to take care of our trees. read more

I have a large pin oak and a maple tree that badly needed to be trimmed. Southfork bid my job for what I considered to be a very reasonable, fair price. They communicated quite well about when they would schedule my work. They showed up as promised, and did an outstanding job! My trees are looking great now, and they left my yard and street immaculate. They were quite thorough in their work, and it was quite obvious to me that they are very professional in their approach, and take great pride in their work. If you are looking for professional, dependable, and hard-working men for your tree or landscaping projects give these guys a call! Five Stars! read more

Southfork Tree and Landscaping provided the best service I have received from any business working on my property. I recommend them 100% to anyone who needs any tree and/or landscaping work, and I do so without any hesitation because Mr. Alsip and his crew are extremely hard working, smart, honest, dependable, and treat you and your property with respect. Mr. Alsip removed a 63 year old maple tree that uprooted in our yard around 2:30 A.M. Doug Alsip called me within 20 minutes after making an emergency call to him at 3 A.M. He arrived promptly to assess the situation and provided me with reasonable options and even offered to bend out the gutter damage that occurred when a different tree branch fell on the roof weeks earlier since I told him I was having trouble getting the contractor I hired to fix the damage to come out and repair it. He wrote up a precise work order in the rain, during 30 degree weather for me. The next day, every single piece of the massive tree vanished, and Doug's team made sure that my neighbors who had debris from my tree was cleared as well. There was zero damage to my yard because the tools used to remove the massive tree were appropriate for the large task. The crew even cleaned my neighbor's debris that he saw laying in her yard because he wanted to help her out--and he did that out of the goodness of his heart. Within a day after the tree was hauled away, I had the massive hole left from the uprooted tree filled and repaired with sod and seed that matched my lawn perfectly. Southfork Tree and Landscaping are honest and they treat their customers with respect. I've never been treated so kindly by any company working on my home. Doug is a true master of his craft and he and his crew have the tools and knowledge they need to get the job done. This company has a super high rating everywhere for a reason, and they are successful and will continue their success because they all possess a strong work ethic, treat customers extremely well, and sincerely care about the work they do. I am honored to know them and recommend this company to others who need their services. read more

After 3 phone calls and one email I have given up, the guy doesn't have the courtesy to even return a call.
