Heads up! Months ago, and I mean months ago, I contracted a contractor to cut down two of my trees in my front yard. He was also contracted to grind the stumps. He told me that his stump grinder was being repaired and he would return. I have made numerous attempts to contact him because of his failure to honor his contract (hand shake). He will not return my calls. I even threatened legal action. I threatened to contact the better business bureau and to post to the neighborhood site unless he honored his contract. That has not happened. So I do plan on reporting him to the better business bureau, and I do plan on legal action. I realize I will spend more money than it's worth financially. However, I feel obligated to take a personal stand against dishonest people. The contractors name is Darrell Nest, and his telephone number is 469-396-7497. If you wish to hire a dishonest contractor, then this is the person to hire. If, by chance, and Darrell reads this, please understand that my next step is the better business bureau, and after that, i will begin the process of taking action through theĥĥ filing with small claims. You have one week to grind the stump. If anyone can share this post so no one else hires this contractor read more

Darryl did a great job on our live oak tree. He kept it natural looking while cleaning it up and raising the canopy. It clears my roof by 4-5' now and the driveway and alleyway is much higher. My neighbors came out and have asked Darryl to come and do their trees now. We're quite pleased and will have him return to do more work for us. read more

Total Unique Tree Service - Live Oak natural shape - Tree Services Near Me - Plano, Texas

They took out a tree that was leaning over my next door neighbor house and had no problem. Down to earth guys and won't leave a mess.

I called around a few tree services that were highly rated and for a single tree, this company had one of the most reasonable rates and impressive photos. Some companies wouldn't give me any clue of costs and others wouldn't accept a job under $200. I called midday yesterday from work and he saw my tree before I was home. My tree is probably about 30 or 40 foot tall and branches had dipped below 5 foot to the ground. There were many touching the roof after leafing out. Today (within 24 hrs of initial contact) my tree was trimmed and all refuse neatly stacked in alley for the city to haul off. I've paid to have this tree trimmed before and this company did lots more work to make it look better. read more

Big job removing trees. Showed up on time and did thorough job.Took about 3 hours to finish and the price was fair.

We had a massive Live Oak split & fall on the corner of our house, driveway, blocked the alley and fell into our neighbors yard. We were panicked and had no idea what to do. I called Total Unique Tree Service at 10:00pm on Saturday night and they were there the next morning. They were professional, gave us a fair deal and helped out on short notice. We are so grateful! Thanks to the TUTS team! read more

Fast and fairly priced, I had a particularly tricky situation with a tree hanging over my back yard and into a creek. This crew came the same day and within literally minutes the job was done. Call them give them a chance. Also what helped was that I used the "get quote" option and this owner answered first. Good job gentlemen. Thank you, NRS read more

Couldn't be any happier with how friendly, fast, and efficient Darryl and his Crew were!! Found him on Yelp ...left him a voicemail and a message for him. He replied very quickly and was at the house within the hour. Looked at the job ...agreed on a very reasonable price (without any kind of crazy up charges for coming out last minute on a Saturday evening) and they went right to work!! Got it done in no time and even cleaned up all of the mess before leaving. He even took the time to talk to us about a few other concerns I had about my trees and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful!! Will definitely be using his services again! read more

I wish I could give this business a great review, but their business standard is subpar. They came out and (poorly) shaped the trees in our backyard, but did not trim the bottom. We are now in the process of re-landscaping our backyard and the project manager told me whoever trimmed our trees did a horrific job. I tried to reach out to the owner prior to leaving a bad review to make things right. He said he'd "swing by to look at it". He never showed up or took interest in finishing the job properly. He was actually very rude and stand-offish on the phone, like I was doing him a disservice! Now I have to repay to have them properly groomed. read more

He removed 2 trees, was to grind roots (didn't) was to plant 2 trees and didn't. Took full payment in advance (bc he had removed the trees and was on way to buy the new trees to replace) Daryl never came to finish job. He answers when i call and says am coming right over its been 2 months and still has not come. Basically, i was ROBBED in daylight read more

Darryl and his team are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the trees on our property as well as how to maintain them. The estimate for removing a large Bradford Pear and trimming a Cedar Elm was incredibly reasonable. The team came out on a Monday and did the job quickly and efficiently! read more

Amazing, honest, reasonable, conscientious owner we hired to landscape for our yard after the freeze winter before last. We started with tree service for my two large live oaks and ended up landscaping and replacing most of the plants in my yard. Id hire Darryl for any and everything he is up to doing. You wont find an easier to work with person who goes above and beyond our high expectations. Cant recommend him enough. Best contractor ever in our long experience. read more

Made an appointment, met the guy, agreed to a price and time and date. He even asked for a review on Yelp! Then I get a no call -no show. The lack of respect for my business was quite disappointing, so if the level of service matters to you, I would suggest considering a more reputable business that makes customer service a priority. read more

Darryl Nest and his crew of two did a wonderful job. Darryl returns calls quickly and showed up on time. I had them initially prune some branches off a tree that were touching my roof. They worked quickly and did a bit extra work. They trimmed some branches by my dish antenna (too bad we don't even use it), cleared off dead branches off the tree, removed all the leaves and debris off my roof, and cleaned the gutters! These gentlemen are all about total guest satisfaction and going above and beyond. Plus their price quotes are very reasonable. I highly endorse these men and would give them a sixth star in yelp if I could. read more

I am very happy with the work, see pictures to see the result. A night of heavy rain and wind, blew down my Bradford Pear tree. Looked at yelp for some recommendations and came across this site. I called and spoke to Darryl, and got a quote over the phone. They are reasonably prices, friendly (including the crew), and did a good job cleaning up. read more

Everything started out great with these guys. They gave me a great price on cutting down my tree and grinding the stump. They did it right away, but was told they would grind the stump on Monday. When Monday came around they never showed up to finish the job. I tried calling Darryl multiple times but he doesn't pick up now. I had to find another company to finish the job. I honestly don't know what happen but I'm extremely disappointed. read more

They were very responsive to my request for a quote and were very reasonably priced. They did a great job and were very diligent about cleaning up the debris as well. read more

I wish I could give more stars. The good: Quick response to my messages, and came out to remove my trees the next day. This was awesome. The guys that came out were very nice and did quick work. The bad: Didn't grind my stumps. I was told stumps would be grinded, but they weren't. On the day of tree removal, the guy said stumps are always grinded on Monday, and they would come back then. When they never showed up on Monday, I contacted them to come back and finish the job, I was promised "Thursday...Friday at the latest". That was three weeks ago. They never came back. Of course, I already paid them. Pretty sorry if you ask me. Either they flat out lied to my face, or were never planning on grinding my stumps! read more

Darryl, the owner, came by and said he could get my tree down in two hours. He gave me a price that was reasonable and the tree came down. I also wanted a stump removed that was in a tight spot. After several days of saying he would come and not showing up, he arrived without warning and used a grinder to get out part of the stump. He said he would be back the next day with a smaller grinder, but I never heard from him again. He at least could have called me and said he was not interested in doing my stump. No, he just never showed up. read more

Darryl is super responsive to my message. The price is below the average and no strings attached. I asked him to trim four trees in my front yard but I was not at home. He explained clearly about what and when he is going to do, educating me on the city compliance on the clearance. In the beginning, he said that he would come on one day. But there was rain, he let me know in advance that he cannot come but he would make it on the next day. He did what he promised and sent me the pictures after the work is done. It was an excellent job. The trees now look refreshing. read more

I was needing three large trees trimmed for the winter and had the good fortune to find Total Unique Tree Service. Darryl is extremely knowledgable about trees, and as soon as he arrived, he explained what We needed to do to open the canopy while promoting healthy tree growth for the long term. I am very pleased with how the trees turned out, the professionalism of Darryl and his crew, the reasonable rates, and the quality of his service. I would highly recommend Total Unique Tree Service to anyone who is looking for a quality tree maintenance company. Will definitely be working with them again! read more

Don't use this guy.....He'll take your cash and won't finish the job. read more

Total Unique Tree Service - Tree Services Near Me - Plano, Texas

We received several bids on tree trimming work, and Total Unique was the lowest price. Their guys did excellent work, cleaned the junk out of the pool, and made sure everything was in good shape when they left. They were easy to work with and responsive to phone calls. We are very happy and would definitely recommend. read more

I had a request in on Yelp for quotes. The city had sent me a letter saying my ally tree was too low. Darryl was the first to respond. When I didn't answer the phone because I was in a meeting at work, he ended up texting. They came over quickly and gave me a quote. The quote seemed fair to me and they even quoted my massive front yard tree. I asked when they could start and they said right now! After my meeting, I came outside and met them. Darryl was so knowledgeable. Actually, it blew me away because I was unfamiliar with a lot of my plants since we moved here. He was able to give me some tips. They ended up cutting up the tree limbs to leave for the trash service and cut me a discount so they didn't have to haul it. Overall, I'm extremely pleased. read more

What can I say about Daryl and Total Unique Tree Service?? They are awesome, that's what! This is the second time we have used their services and we couldn't be happier. Daryl is always pleasant and is no nonsense with his work. His prices are very reasonable and always less than the larger companies. We had him out to trim some of our trees back and his quote was $200 less than when we've had it done in the past with a larger company. He even went above and beyond by cutting some of the larger branches in small sections for us to use in our chiminea in the back yard. I highly recommend Daryl for any of your tree needs. Give them a shot. You WILL NOT be disappointed! read more

Darryl is the man! His reliable, prompt and easy to work with. His not the pushy kind of guy, no sales! He will work with what you need. Price is very reasonable, i should know spoke to different tree companies. read more

Prompt service, quick,tidy,through work, fair prices, and constant communication are the reasons why I have given Total Unique Tree Service a 5 star review! I have already recommended them to a friend! read more

I had received another estimate and was not happy with the quote, so I called Darryl at Total Unique just to see.... He came out quickly, gave us a much more reasonable quote (almost 1/3 the price), did the work of taking down 3 large trees and grinding out 7 stumps, in a day. His crew were professional and left everything cleaned up. I appreciate the hard work and recommend them whole-heartedly. read more

On Wednesday July 5th we had a storm that knocked a limb off of the beautiful Red oak growing in our backyard. I contacted Darryl using yelp bidding and he replied promptly with a reasonable quote for removing the limb off my neighbors roof and removing the limb. Not only did he complete the work in a prompt and professional manner, he anticipated a request and provided me with a photo of the completed work. read more

HE NEVER FINISHED THE JOB AND REFUSED TO COMMUNICATE? I paid for expensive zoysia grass sod to be laid in my backyard. He laid what looked like a left over pallet from a previous job, but it wasn't enough to cover the space. After weeks of promises and excuses, he just disappeared and stopped returning my calls. Now I have big holes in my backyard where the sod should have been laid. He also cut down a tree and never grinded the stump or removed the tree limbs he cut. In addition, the job site was left messy and I had to clean up afterwards. I paid him BEFORE the job was complete, because he had to pay his day laborers cash for a days work. BE WARNED...DO NOT PAY FOR THIS SERVICE UNTIL THE JOB IS DONE. I would DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND doing business with Darryle's Total Unique Tree Service. There are more capable and reputable services available. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR,,,, read more

Excellent and prompt service! These guys are professional and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be using them in the future.

First, getting in touch with Darryl was super easy! I sent him a pitied of our tree that needed to be cut down and removed and he answered me so quickly! Him and his crew arrived right on time when they said they would and he walked us through the process on what they'll be doing. All in all I was happy. The communication with us is what sold us and they left our house like nothing had happened! I would contact them again if I had any other work read more

don't use Total Unique Tree guys if you expect work to be finished. Everything was great at first, then no returned calls or texts when the job wasn't finished. read more

These guys are AMAZING! They worked thru a very difficult stump removal and didn't quit! They were consistently there even when raining! They went the extra mile by going above and beyond requirements. Thank you very much! read more

Darryl & his team worked effectively and fast to get my crepe myrtles cleaned up and trimmed so they would stay out of my pool. he even laid new grass, which I didn't know they did, in my front yard, cleaned up my bushes and planted new ones so now I have a great yard back & front!! Totally impressed!! read more

Called Darryl about a very young tree already yellowing. He came over within 30 min of my call, was here maybe 10 min and I immediately have a plan not only for my troubled tree, but also my grass and shrubs. I'll definitely be using him in the future - that quick a response is gold! read more

I had there tree service out about three weeks ago, and made the misstake of paying them in full before they where finished. They have told me several times they would be out to grind down the stump, but have never showed up or called. They keep saying they can't do it when it has rained, well it hasn't rained in a week and half. I will change this rating if they ever came and finish the job. Don't ever pay for a job before it is finished read more

Great service!! We had a very large tree fall in our backyard from this morning's storm. Called many 24/7 emergency tree services but had no luck in getting a response. Was about to give up then found Total Unique Tree Service on Yelp and Darryl immediately answered the phone. They were here within 30 minutes and have removed enough of he tree to secure it until Monday when they will return to finish and clean up. They have done a great job so far. Thank you! read more

Came out and got it all down, it was a big fig tree. Price was good as well
