Awesome job from Tarzan Tree Removal! I wanted a tall tree (over 4 stories high) removed before the winter and contacted several tree removal companies. Plenty of them either took long to respond or came back with high estimates. Some companies didn't even respond at all. Joe and his team responded quickly and gave a really reasonable price. In addition to that, they were able to schedule the job the same day because they were in the area and got there within 2 hours. The crew of about 6 men chopped and removed the tree within 1.5 hours and cleaned up the area. By noon, everything was already done and gone. The stump remained but was treated for easy future removal. I was super impressed because I considered it a really big tree for Brooklyn standards, but they made it look so easy. Phenomenal job! I highly recommend. Nothing beats a painless experience. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - SCAM ALERT I hired this company back in May 2025 to remove a large tree from my backyard. We paid them $7,000 -- a wildly overpriced amount -- but because they did a good job for us in 2022, we trusted them again. That trust was a huge mistake. It is now three months later and my yard is still in complete despair. The owner, Joe, specifically agreed to also remove the stump, and yet it still sits rotting in my backyard. Because of this, weeds have overtaken the space and my family hasn't been able to enjoy our backyard the entire summer. I have called, texted, and left voicemails multiple times. Joe occasionally responds just enough to string me along, then disappears to chase new projects and new customers' money, while completely ignoring the work I already paid him for. His behavior is unprofessional, dishonest, and absolutely disgraceful. At this point, I've contacted officials, and my attorney will be handling this matter moving forward. Save yourself the money, time, and stress -- this company will scam you, waste your summer, and leave your yard in worse condition than before. read more

I needed to have a very large Maple tree stump removed from my backyard in Manhattan. Most of the people I called said they couldn't do it since their stump grinder couldn't fit through my front door. I called Tarzan Tree Removal and Joe said he could grind the stump down to the dirt. His crew came the next day and had the stump ground to below grade. They got the job done in two hours. They did an amazing job. I wish I had found Tarzan Tree Removal sooner. I would call Joe again in a minute. read more

I had Tarzan Tree removal take down a 30 ft tree with a 40 inch circumference that had grown unmanageable in my back yard in Brooklyn. Within two days from my phone call, the tree was removed. The crew was on time, professional, and did an outstanding job. The clean up was perfect. They were able to grind the stump and exposed roots, hauled off all the branches and twigs, put the large pieces in a chipper, and left after sweeping the street for any twigs. Joe (the owner) was reasonable with his price. I could not be more pleased with their work. read more

Purchased firewood from them. They assured me it was properly aged and seasoned, and it was not seasoned and would not burn. They refuse to pick it up and replace it. It was also all soft wood. I had to pay someone to get rid of it and pay again to get decent firewood. read more

These guys did a great job taking down a massive tree in the front of my house. A crew of about four or five scaled the tree, took safety precautions, and brought the whole thing down. But I'm giving them three stars because they were supposed to remove the stump and didn't. We didn't discover that the stump was still there until we started digging to replace the tree and hit wood. When we called Tarzan to get them to come and remove the rest of the stump, as we had paid them to do, Tarzan said the machine was broken. We repeatedly tried to get them to come up with some solution, with no luck. We had to hire another tree service to complete the work. read more

On a whim I went on an internet review (as opposed to a personal recommendation). More than satisfied. Responsive, respectful, reliable, fair, calm, organized, efficient. delivered as promised drama free. Great crew. Thanks Joe. Much appreciated. read more

Yep. These guys were actually great. Took care of a very dicey tree in a narrow spot between two buildings. Cleaned it all up. Hauled it away. And they were easy to work with. I worked with Joe (?) and he made sure he and his team got it done. Surprisingly great experience. read more

I called and spoke with Joe. We scheduled the tree removal for the following day. Lo and behold they arrived on time and did an excellent/superb job. They cleaned up. If I could I would give them ten stars **********. They were friendly, efficient and did a spectacular job. read more

Fine for tree removals if you don't mind supporting a company that doesn't take reasonable safety precautions like eye, ear, head and chainsaw protection. They do terrible things to trees, so do NOT use them for pruning. They should be used as a removal service only. read more

They were quick and pleasant And removed the tree in my drive way on the same day that we called. Even tho it was right after the storm and so many people needed to have trees removed. Great work! read more

Tarzan Tree Removal - After - Tree Services Near Me

UNPROFESSIONAL, DISHONEST BUSINESS. We hired Tarzan Tree Removal to cut a few trees in our property. One of the tree was quite tall and there were a lot of cables running through the branches. The team was not professional when cutting the branches that tangled with cables, and guess what happened-- as they threw the cut branches down to the floor, the heavy branches pulled the cables that were fixed onto the siding, and yanked a section of our siding off (you can see attached photos for the damage). Our neighbor's cables were also messed up and caused big inconvenience to them. When we pointed out the damages to Joe, he said he did not have a long ladder with him that day (came unprepared for the job), and promised that he will come back to fix both the cables and the damaged siding for us. Naive of us to trust his words and paid him in full. Of course, Joe made multiple empty promises and finally did not reply messages or answer phone calls, and NEVER CAME BACK to fix the damages that they created. We now have to pay out of our pocket to hire someone to fix the siding, and also have to go through the hassles to help our neighbor get their cables back to service. It is such a disgrace that people chose to run business in such a dishonest and unethical way. Piece of advice to you Joe-- Companies that do not stand behind their service will not go far. We may lose some money dealing with you this time, but you have lost your reputation and trust from your customers. I would not recommend this company to anyone. read more

They did a great job--had to remove a lot of branches from a huge tree that was shading our solar panels. It was amazing to watch the main guy (I forgot his name) pulley himself up to the height of a 3 story building and then carefully remove each branch. The rest of the team were very good about dealing with the mess, they totally swept our yard and basement hall after taking all the debris out and chipping it--and we even got a few bags of mulch from our trees to use in our garden. read more

My family and I could not be happier with our decision to work with Tarzan Tee Removal services. We had a total of 8 tall trees confined in a small, narrow backyard with several cables surrounding the area. From the start, we received an immediate response from Joe. He requested some photos of the property to derive an estimate. He came to our property that weekend and inspected the property and confirmed the plan & quote. His quote was very reasonable & competitive. Joe and his crew arrived on-time and did an amazing job. Joe sr, Dave, Steve and two other gentleman (Unfortunately, i didn't get their names) worked all day and got all our tees down safely & efficiently. After the removal, they cleaned our backyard/property as well as our neighbors. We had several neighbors ask for their contact information. We definitely will use them in the future & they come with my highest recommendation. read more

We contacted Tarzan Tree Removal for the removal of a huge fallen branch that had been hovering over a power line in our backyard. Joe came the same day to give us a quote that we could totally work with, his guys Steve, Anthony (and I didn't catch the third guys name but they) came the following morning and did the whole job in an hr, broke down the branches, hauled em to the front and left us with perfectly cut pieces for our fire pit, WIN/WIN. They were so respectful and impressive and we couldn't be happier with the job, thank you guys SO much!! Mackenzey and Kelly read more

I thought really long and hard for this review. I would definitely recommend Tarzan to anyone with tree removal needs! Joe was really quick to respond whenever I called which is definitely a huge plus! The crew were all very nice and they all knew what they were doing! It was absolutely amazing watching them climb and carefully remove the branches. They were also super nice to my neighbors which came over to grab a piece of log and they even helped him bring it back to their house. So why only 3.9 stars? They advertised that they would give 15% off on their website. The price was lowered but it did not honor the 15% off. So why even put it on the website? The price was reasonable though. I didn't like how one of the guy kept asked if "there were good news". I'm pretty sure he meant tips which I didn't since I bought close to 100 dollars worth of cold drinks. They also took my garbage bin(not sure if they mistaken it for theirs), left a mess on the street and were pretty rough on my walls when bringing the trees out. This was back in 2018 and thought I had posted it but didn't. read more

Repeatedly makes promises to schedule, repeatedly then disappears. I'm so disappointed - I've literally been trying for months to finally get work scheduled (after I was able to get him to show up to give an estimate), and after time and again of promises about calling me "as soon as I'm back in the office" to schedule I'm finally going to take my business elsewhere. I understand you're busy - but if you can't take my work just tell me, don't string me along for months. Edit in response to dishonest reply from owner: My first request in writing to schedule the work was May 2 (after not being able to contact via phone after the estimate), and your text reply was that you would give me a date the following day when you were in the office. My second written request, June 7 - no reply. Countless calls and texts between then and now that generally were ignored. Most recently two weeks ago when I finally got you on the phone again, you said you'd call as soon as you were in the office later that same day (Nov 15)... No call back of course, nor after my follow-ups on Nov 19 and Nov 20. read more

oh this was an amazing experience. Tarzan's people were so professional they cleaned up it was really seamless I would recommend him to anyone! We will be using them again!! He is the definition of a man of his word!! read more

Tarzan Tree Removal - Tree Services Near Me

Tarzan was tasked to prune a large beech tree at my house. They gave me an estimate that was pretty competitive. We agreed on a price of $3,000. They came that week and started work on June 5. While their guys were still up in the tree, the foreman, a guy named Joe who wears his hair long like Tarzan, tells me I'm gonna have to pay in cash, or "caysh" as they say in Brooklyn, and that he wants the cash now, before they leave. I point out to him several dead limbs that need pruning, he says "donworrbout it, I gotchu." So I run off to the bank to get 3K in caysh. I get home and the crew is gone, but Joe's guys are in his truck down the street, waitng for the money. I hustle over there and give them the cash. I get home and lo and behold, most of the dead limbs I showed Joe Tarzan are still there. I send Joe a bunch of photos of the dead limbs. He hims and haws a little bit about having the wrong truck, needing a cherry picker, about how you shouldn't have given us the cash if you weren't satisfied, but any way he agreed he'd come back next week to finish the job. That was in June. All thorough July and August I texted Joe, some he ignored, some he responded to with stories about rain and holidays and trucks and machines, anyway he continued to promise "i'll take care of it, no problem". So now we're end of September and Joe Tarzan has gone radio silent. I guess its annoying when customers want you to actually do what you said you'd do, so here's my review. read more

Called Joe on a Friday about trimming a tree (long overdue) in my backyard. He calls me back 5 minutes later. I told him that I'm free on Monday morning around 8:00am. He says I'll stop by on Monday morning and we'll see what's going on back there. He comes by around 8:45 on Monday morning and says that I will have my guys here in 5-10 minutes to take care of it. Really? Am I on candid camera? Sure as shit, his guys were there and up in the tree chain sawing away. They are very good at what they do to say the least. Very personable group of guys who worked hard, got the job done and cleaned up everything. The price was very fair and I'm glad that I took there # down while they were doing work in my neighborhood. Thanks again to Joe and his crew for a job well done. read more

These guys are pros. We lost a few trees in the winter and without fail they came, they cut, they conquered. Amazing, and fun to watch!

Fast, friendly, efficient. Would hire again and recommend to a friend. We had a massive dead tree removed that was posing a danger.

Had the guys from Tarzan Tree Removal at our house this morning, and we couldn't be happier with the job done. They were friendly, professional, courteous, and very efficient - all for a reasonable rate. Can't recommend Joe and his team more! read more

I'm a very satisfied customer. Met with Joe the owner (handsome alert!) after receiving a quote from another company. He quoted me less than the other guy. The crew was phenomenal!!! They came in by 8 am and was done by 3 pm taking down my mulberry tree. While I was at work, my kids kept me up to date periodically with pics. They were so amazed and impressed with the guys working they ran out and got them beers for doing such a great job. Love having adult children at home. . Now I just need to get creative with that stump. read more

After speaking to someone, they asked me to send photos of the tree before scheduling an estimate. A week later, still no response. I already hired someone else and the tree is gone. read more

Please stay away from these guys. They'll overcharge and leave before checking with you if the jobs satisfactory. Joe the owner will promise to come back and fix things but he just won't ever do it. They do the job that "they" think should be done rather than what you request for and call it a day. Do not fall for their scam. read more

Joe and his team are amazing! Joe is friendly, courteous, easy to communicate with and always arrived early - much appreciated. His team of guys come in and tackled a huge job in a couple of hours. It was a pleasure doing business with him and I will definitely use his company again. read more

I set up an appointment with this company for Aug 27th. They never showed up or called. Sept 2nd still no word from them, so I hired someone else. This was a $2000 job. I guess they have so much business they can afford to blow off a $2000 job Unprofessional, disgraceful is all I can say. If they got backed up, it o my takes a minute to call or send a text. I hope anyone looking to hire them will consider what happened to me. It's a pet peeve of mine if I hire someone and they agree to show up on a certain day, I'm not going to hunt them down when they don't show up. I wait another 4 or 5 days and if they still don't show up or call, I get someone else. If they can't keep an appointment I won't trust the job they will do either. Shame on you Joe. Don't ever contact me again, there's no excuse I wish I checked the reviews here first, he's done the same thing to other people. Why start a business and not show up to earn money.... read more

I called Joe and was told basically to find someone else. Don't waste your time.

We paid in full, he never finished the job. Just made empty promises, stopped picking up the phone, took our money and never came back.

This guy and the company took the money and never finished the job and promised to come back to take out the stump and I have been calling since January and he stopped picking up the phone. Dishonest business and bad service! read more

About a month ago I called this company to set up an estimate. The owner contacted me and we set up an appointment. He came by to give me a quote. WE AGREED on a price and he left stating that he would get back to me with a date to complete the job, but completely failed to do so. He never called back to set up a date. If you did not want to do the job FOR ANY REASON BE HONEST. This shows lack of professionalism. I would have been fine if he had called back and expressed why he couldn't or wouldn't do the job. Instead, he either A) lied about it, B) forgot about it C) Didnt give a shit to be decent enough to confirm or cancel our agreement. Either way, it's not a good look. You seemed very concerned about getting good reviews on Yelp when we spoke. Next time, be decent enough to follow through with future customers. This didn't leave a good impression at all... read more

Great experience from beginning to end. Needed four trees trimmed to help keep critters off my roof. Left a message and received a call back within 30 min on a holiday weekend! They scheduled me immediately and, most importantly did a great job for a VERY reasonable price. Was a bit of a challenge due to electrical wires and a tight space but they got the job done and cleaned up all debris. Wouldn't hesitate to use again. read more

I had to write a review for these guys because of the excellent job they did for me! I had 2 big trees from the neighbors that have grown huge and extended over my backyard. One of the big tree had 3 trunks of which one grew from my property corner and lurked dangerously close to my house. These guys came on time (early actually) and were nothing short of amazing, professional and courteous- everything you hope for but usually don't get. The crew had such a nice and easy rapport with each other, a well coordinated team. Steve (aka Geroge of the Jungle) scaled the tree like it was nothing! It's really something to see, a very dangerous art form and skill for sure. I have a lot of respect. They came with a huge truck that grinds up the tree branches so as soon as Steve cuts them down which is very fast the crew carried the debris through my basement to the tree grinder truck. They finished the job quickly and cleaned up my entire back and front yard for which I'm so appreciative. My backyard looks so much brighter too! Highly recommend these guys. If you have annoying trees you want to get rid of give these guys a call. I'm super happy with their work. read more

I called Tarzan to remove my uncle's tree who lives in Brooklyn. I don't live in the area so I called Joe and send him there to view the property without being there. He sent me pictures along the way and gave me a fair quote. I called on a Friday and it was removed by Monday. It was a very large tree overhanging my uncle's backyard and the neighbors. They did a excellent job removing the tree and cleaning up. My neighbors even complimented me on it. I would recommend them for all tree services. read more
