Chip Off The Old Block

The Ropple were great - we reviewed what was happening before they started and inspected when they cleaned up before they left.

It was great! I was very happy with the work. They did a great job cleaning up, and showed up on time.

They sent out a crew of 3. Very gentlemanly people. Very knowledgeable. Did an unbelievably good job! Cleaned up beautifully. I would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

I requested Tuesday night via Angie's list that they contact me. They called me on Wednesday morning and scheduled an estimator for Thursday morning. The estimator arrived on time, we agreed on the price, and the tree removers came out on Friday morning at 8 a.m. They were finished by 10 a.m. The 2 ash trees were cut up and hauled off, the stumps were ground and covered up. They even raked up the many, many leaves in the front yard. We were pleased with every aspect of their service.

This is our 3rd time using them. Always prompt, efficient, and courteous. Will continue to use them!

They called me at 7am on a Saturday the day after I put in my request. I asked for a quote on tree removal, they said they'd have somebody by in the next week, a month later I've not heard from them.

I cannot express how incredible responsive and friendly and helpful these people are. It's very rare to encounter business owners as courteous, profession and accommodating as the folks at Chip off the Old Block.

Good service. They had some timing and scheduling issues but they were professional and let me know ahead of time.

They were prompt, fast, and cleaned up everything quite well. Seemed to know their business and did a good trimming job to move the growth upward and remove a significant amount of large dead branches that were badly twisted throughout the mesquites. I am pleased with the result. Also their price was 2/3 of the quote from another well recommended company.

I have used the company for 3 years. I really like that I am dealing with an arborist. They are very knowledgeable in their field. The staff does great work and are easy to work with. They make sure to clearly explain what they are doing and saying. They are very friendly. They are extremely neat in their work and do an excellent job cleaning up after themselves. It is very easy to schedule their service. The pricing is a little higher than another company I had looked into that was a local company. The other company never responded, however. They always come out as scheduled and call before coming out to the house. I would highly recommend the company.

They were finished with the job within a few hours. Other companies told me it would take two whole days to complete the task. The cleaned up after themselves. The work was very good quality. You can't even tell a 20 foot tree and a 50 foot tree was once in our backyard. I'm really surprised and impressed. I got 5 quotes for the job and these guys were the cheapest.

I am someone who rarely stops to take the time to review companies but these guys were fantastic from start to finish! I called with a very last minute request and Jack and his crew came out quickly, gave us what we feel to be a very fair price and completed the job effortlessly. I will be recommending them to all of my friends and neighbors.

The neighbor, after he saw what they were doing for us, he had him do his as well and he had them return.

Jack came out on Friday to give a quote and we scheduled the work for Saturday. The crew came and went right to work and did a great job. They hauled all the stuff away and cleaned the yard. Would highly recommend them.

I think it went very well! They showed up on time, got to work, and in about half an hour had the tree trimmed and thinned the way I wanted it. They cleaned up after themselves and were courteous throughout the whole operation. They did exactly what they said they would do. What a joy to finally find a crew like this!

great work, will use again if ever needed will definitely recommend

Estimator came quickly and sent the crew next day. They were on time and did an excellent job cutting down tree, hauling it out to the chipper on the truck, and cleaned up so well there was no sign a tree had been there. We would hire them again and recommend them to others.

If Angie's List has a higher rating, I would use it. This was the most professional service I have ever experienced. Timely and complete. Like the tree never existed. I will certainly use this company in the future. Hands down the best landscaping company I have ever used. Called in the morning. Had my quote by noon. Tree gone the next day. Thrilled.

They were fantastic. They're wonderful. Their prices are a little higher but they're fantastic. They came when they said they would. They did what they said they would do. They just did a fantastic job cleaning up after themselves. I can't say enough good about them.

I have used COTOB for my palm tree work for several years and have been satisfied with their work. Professional, knowledgeable, and careful. This year, they cleaned up windstorm damage of an older Desert Willow, which required skillful pruning and judicial trimming to balance the tree out. Outstanding job on the Willow. I am not satisfied, however, with the work done on my Mexican Fan Palm. Specific instructions discussed with the estimator/arborist and also written on the work order was to: DO NOT LET FRONDS FALL ON THE MEXICAN BIRD OF PARADISE TREE. One can imagine seed stalks and fronds falling on a fragile limbed Bird of Paradise from 35 feet. One half of the tree, had a number of it's major limbs broken off from careless dropping of debris from overhead. When I arrived at the scene, I was stunned! I couldn't believe what I saw! Some of the broken limbs were trimmed off cleanly, some left as jagged stumps. This totally floored me. I was used to professional work from COTOB in the past. The only difference, this time, was I was not present when they were doing the work. Apologies abounded from the workers when I questioned them as to why this happened. No explanation. I called the office the next workday to explain what happened (which they already knew about) and said they would send someone out to look at the damage. Another estimator came to look, apologized and said someone would call me . No one ever called. I believe their limitation of liability does not exclude them from responsibility in this case since factors leading to the damages to my tree were firmly within their control. My appreciation of their fine trimming of the palm was totally overshadowed by the preventable damage to my Bird of Paradise and the subsequent handling of my complaint. My suggestion to others using this service would be to have someone on site monitoring the workers to insure that instructions are followed as given.

Jack showed up promptly after I called and provided an estimate for storm damage repair. Although someone else actually did the work Jack followed up afterwards to make sure things were taken care of before the next storm. I appreciate the professionalism and would definitely call this company again. I wish I had called them much earlier in the day.

Company was very repsonsive by phone. Was able to do estimate in my absence and call with the details. Quick turn around when sleceted the company for the job. Prompt arrival onsite for the trimming of the olive tree. Major improvement from prior to the job. 3 employees worked approximated 2.5 hours. Took good care of the property and did a detailed clean up when finished. Was able to call into the office to pay when completed. Would recommend and hiew again.

This is the second consecutive year that I've used Chip Off the Old Block for my palm tree service. I have 6 palm trees in the backyard that need to be trimmed annually or they spread debris throughout the yard. They kept the price the same as last year. They have a crew that comes climbs up and trims the trees and then cleans up everything so there is no mess in the yard. They are very professional. They then send a separate crew to do the feeding. I'd recommend this company for those who need similar service.

They did a good job but one of their guys broke a pot of mine and threw it in the bushes to hide it so I because of that I would not use them again.

The job went OK. I have used them in the past and will use them again in the future.
