 + -1 moreThey came to look at the tree about 10am. The crew and truck arrived about 2:45 to remove the tree. I had to leave on an errand when I returned you could not tell that they had been there. They did a fantastic job with the clean up.

 + -1 moreOverall I was pleased with the service and price. They gave me a quote quickly and showed up when the service was scheduled. The only thing I didn't care for was that the service took a span of 4 days to complete. The trees were trimmed on Wednesday morning. The limbs and debris wasn't picked up until Friday afternoon. The stump was ground on Saturday. Apparently they had different crews for each function. This may be normal for this industry, but I would have preferred if everything had been handled in one day. Overall I gave them a good rating.
Description of Work: Trimmed various trees from around my home and driveway. Also ground a stump in the front yard.

 + -1 moreGraham and his crew showed up Friday and Graham explained what their plan was for removing the trees. Two employees stayed and took down the trees in under 3 hours. Two days later they brought a huge truck to remove the downed trees. The following day someone came and chopped up the leftover tree stumps. Everything went fine. Graham is very personable and everyone was very professional and did a great job. They even removed a large downed branch in the back yard at no additional cost. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again should the occasion arise.
Description of Work: They removed 2 trees from the front yard of our house.

Although I was not present when they did their work, everything was done to perfection. They cut the things they were suppose to cut, and cleaned up the debris completely. The price was fair and work was flawless. I was very pleased with the service and professional attitude of everyone I worked with. I would use them again without hesitation.

tree service
 + -1 moreGray's was recommended by a friend who had used them. Gil Gray came out as scheduled and gave us a clear cut estimate. They charge by the job size and amount of time they estimate it will take. The price we were quoted included all haul off of debris and stump grinding as well. The crews showed up on time on the scheduled day and were done by the end of the day. These guys really know what they are doing. They even plucked three large pine trees out of the middle of a small stand of dogwoods with minimal damage. Using a large crane, most of the trees or tree tops were craned from their location to a debris collection area where a crew immediately cut them down for haul off. I understand they often use shredders, but they were not used for our job. The next day a debris truck picked up what was left and the stump grinder finished his work. I would use this company again.
Description of Work: We had a backyard full of trees removed to install a swimming pool. Gray's removed all the trees as marked by the pool company and hauled off all debris, and ground down all stumps.

 + -1 moreVery pleasant fellow. Arrived on time. Provided good advice and insights. Did not provide a written quote. Price quoted was quite high. Mentioned about how Gray's is the contract tree service for the city of Mountainbrook. Well, we're not Mountainbrook and we're not willing to pay Mountainbrook prices. In all fairness, their quote was not much higher than the second highest quote but both were MUCH higher than who we chose to work with. We definitely made the right decision. We might ask them for a quote in the future but there are just too many choices. More likely we'll give someone else a chance. Nothing against Gray's; they just weren't competitive enough.

 + -1 moreWe hired them to cut down a tree that was causing a retaining wall to bulge. At first we asked the to cut tree and remove stump, but after they came and looked at it, they recommended leaving the stump since removing it would destroy the wall. They came on time and finished in one day. The very next day they came out and removed all of the debris- not even a twig on the driveway. This was the second time we have used them and have been very pleased. They are very polite and professional.

 + -1 moreI got quotes from multiple companies I found here on Angie's List with good reviews. The last company to quote me was Gray's tree service. I liked the salesman who quoted me and decided to go with Gray's (they gave me the same price as the other company I was considering using). A few days later I received a phone call to schedule a day to have the trees cut. I took the day off so I could be at home when they came to work on my trees. Unfortunately, they never showed up or called. Upon me calling their office, I was informed that they were having problems with the truck. I understand that things like this are bound to happen, however I expect a phone call to let me know...especially when I had taken the day off just to be at home when they came! They showed up the next day (I had to be at work) and did their work. When I got home I was not happy with the results as they had not done everything I was expecting. After finally getting in touch with someone we once again scheduled an appointment. I called the morning of our second appointment and had to leave a voice-mail during their working hours and received a return phone call about an hour later and was informed that they would be at my house at some point that day with not even an approximation about what time. They did eventually show up and I went over what I expected with the crew leader. I was informed that what I wanted is not what was on their quote....NOTE: if you do have Gray's tree service quote you GET EVERYTHING SPELLED OUT FOR YOU! Other quotes I received were very detailed spelled out sentences, however my quote from Gray's was a map of my yard with very vague details like "raise canopy of oak tree". In the end, they did resolve the problem and I am happy with the results. I was 100% satisfied with the crew as I could not tell they had even been cutting large limbs down in my yard. However, I was extremely disappointed with their scheduling and communication skills and because of this would probably not use them again in the future. TLDR: They didn't show up on the date we scheduled and failed to contact me to let me know. We had a few disagreements on the work to be performed (If you do have them quote you be sure to get everything written out very clearly). In the end I was very happy with work done but very unimpressed with their scheduling and communication. Will use a different company in the future.

tree service
 + -1 moreI called several tree services for estimates and quickly selected Gray's because of their responsiveness, professionalism and price. The quote was written and detailed compared to some of the others that were simply verbal. Once selected, Gray's was onsite within five hours with heavy equipment to get the tree down. In a matter of about 90 minutes, the tree was safely on the ground. Understanding that they had worked me into their work schedule to handle the priority safety concern, I told them that they could delay the cleanup until they had an opening in their schedule since the tree was safely on the ground. That being said, they then called me daily to give me an update on their plans. Understanding that there may be some risk in letting them delay, I was completely satisfied with their responsiveness. Within 24 hours they had ground the stump out and within 48 hours, the cleanup was done and the job complete. I would absolutely use them again in the future and I have already given their contact information to neighbors that have inquired about who did the work.
Description of Work: I had a very large red oak that split and was in danger of falling and causing damage to a neighbor's property. Once an agreement was signed, Gray's quickly cut the tree, ground the stump and removed all the debris. They also removed a couple of dead limbs in an adjacent tree at now additional charge.

 + -1 moreThe story from start to finish is listed above... This service was done at my farm in Chelsea. 6.5 acres of complete woods lots of trees and fallen down limbs... ..
Description of Work: At 65 I have used tree services from Florida to Alabama. In Florida at my second home when pines die and after hurricanes and here in Birmingham when storms come through or trees just die. Gray's Tree Service is the best I have ever used. From the first day calling the office to set appointment the lady, Peggy was very professional and courteous. We set a date for an estimator to come to my home. That was Grahm. Dressed well and professional. We sketched the trees I wanted out and limbs cut. I had a huge burn pile and he said "we will even take that for you"...Ok deal..we set a date then David and his crew arrived. Not in gear to climb trees but bucket trucks and earth movers. I have a lot of patio nice stone and I never had to say be careful..David ran the crew and there was never a bit of disagreement on what limbs to cut. The tall large branches were cut in lengths of about a foot dropped on the ground and the crew of 3 other guys picked up and raked all the limbs cut..all of this was placed on my growing "burn pile". They spent over 3 hours moving the truck being careful not to drop any limbs on any patio stuff. Ok they finished and David said "Our truck will pick up the "burn pile" and all the tree limbs we have cut down this next week. You dont have to pay until our truck does that for you." I paid him on the spot..And then not next week but the next day a very very large truck with crain claw came up the drive way to the "burn pile" This burn pile was at least 10 to 12 ft high and 15 ft wide. This was a pile of debris consisting of stumps and junk the last tree guy cut and left there. The driver of the claw truck Steven could not have been nicer..he looked at the pile and said "wow your kidding?" He spent an hour pulling up all the limbs and stumps and sawed off tree trunks plus all the limbs that were cut by his staff...So from the very start Peggy who took my order Grahm who consulted the price, David and crew who did all the cutting all the way to Steven who picked up this mess...what a great goup of people..and for $450. And will I use them again. I have 6.5 acres and no one will cut my trees again except Greys Tree Service..I must add that one bad report stated "While on vacation"...duh duh...are you kidding? If I contract a tree service I wont be on vacation when ANY service is performed at my house..You will be extrememly happy with these people..take the time get to know every person who comes to your home. They work hard for their money and a little kindness goes a long way...Thanks guys.
