They quoted a great competitive price and cut down our 70ft tree, removed the brush and ground the stump in one day. Very responsive.

This was a project of several trees on a property that had not had attention in 20 years. This was the best experience I’ve had with a tree service. I found Ski’s Tree Service because I had to keep looking after previous tree services did poor work and actually killed a tree. I could tell when interviewing him and comparing the estimates that he was the most professional and most of his crew had worked for him for at least 12 years. He had equipment and a bucket truck to get to the highest limbs for safety. The trees were beautifully trimmed bringing out their natural shapes. The crew was so talented and worked fast, cleaning up immediately. It was such a pleasure to get such a great outcome compared to the previous disappointments I’d had with other services. I have more work for this company on other properties and I will stay with him for all future tree maintenance needs.

The 5 men arrived about 15 minutes early and worked steadily throughout the day. They knew their job and worked together as a team; 1-3 each on a separate tree, bucket or climbing, using small gas-powered saws and 2 on the ground putting the dropped branches into the chipper. They cleaned up afterward and left the driveway and yard tidy. We spoke to 2 of the team and both were pleasant and customer oriented: they walked to meet us in the yard and inquired whether or not we liked the job and whether or not there were questions. This happened each time either my husband or myself would go out to check on their progress: very professional and courteous. We would rate them as an A+ (110%) and would ask them return next time. You can hire Ski's Tree Service with confidence. NOTE: the Owner calls to make an appointment, comes out himself to look over each tree and gives a written estimate. He is the reason the team is what it is; we chose Ski's Tree Service based on what others said about them on Angie's List, and we were not disappointed. They do not top trees; they thin out entire limbs and trim, thin and raise, thus improving sun and air circulation to the center of the tree. They have the equipment for tall trees (bucket on a very long arm) and we have tall trees. They bring a chipper & grinder and trucks to carry away the debris. When finished, the overall appearance is pleasing and there is more sunlight in the yard and garden than before. The men worked on these mature trees for this 2-day job: 3 cork oaks, 2 catalpa, 5 tallow, 1 liquid amber + 1 liquid amber removed & stump ground down, 4 Raymond Ash, 1 Bartlet Pear, small palm tree removed & stump ground, 2 crabapple, 2 other trees...don't remember their names. Great Job! 110%! :-) Well worth the price-tag.... not as expensive as we were expecting.
Description of Work: The 30+ year-old fruitless Barlett pear tree dropped 2 large limbs and several other large trees needed thinning and raising as well. The trees had been pruned by tree climbers in the past; but the trees were never thinned. They were trimmed at the edges and raised. We needed more done as our trees were beyond 30 years old and were becoming too heavy for their own good. Although we liked our shady yard, the trees seemed to be taking over. We knew something needed to be done, but who? We found Ski's Tree Service in Angie's list & decided that the Owner liked trees and knew how to take care of mature trees without butchering them.

Ski's did a fantastic job! Trees are beautiful and growing in nicely now that leaves are back. Their shapes are natural and healthy looking. Ski was prompt to respond, pleasant to deal with, got work done quickly and crew totally cleaned up before they left. Recommend highly.
Description of Work: Large trees needed to be pruned, thinned, canopy raised and branches taken off of roof. I was cautious as I've seen bad and/or excessive pruning kill trees. It is important to me that the trees look natural after pruning.

They removed many of the unnecessary branches such as waterspouts, crossed limbs and deadwood. They reduced the overall weight on our Bradford Pear trees and Chinese Elms which are closest to our house. They covered any plants that I was concerned about and our new walkway to protect from any damage. Everything was left spotless, all brush was chipped and even were kind enough to give wood chips to neighbor who requested them. Wonderful crew and amazing service at fair price as we have paid twice as much in the past.
Description of Work: We have several mature trees of various types on our property. They performed a light trimming in 2016 because due to drought we didn't want to do a more involved pruning to stress trees. So this year we had them return and they did a more involved trimming and reduction of 4 of our largest trees in front yard. Service and results were fantastic.

Ski's Tree service is very professional and efficient. The trees look great and the risk of branches falling on to our house has been reduced.
Description of Work: Trimmed two very large 50 year old pine trees. The trees are huge and were hanging over one side of our house. We hired Ski's because of their professional approach. They were not the least expensive quote received, but were hired because John described in detail (personnel & equipment needed, expected time, etc.) how they would perform the work. Plus they are licensed and insured.

I now have two bad reviews. I have one for not returning a call and now yours for missing an appointment. I am now sixty and my forgetfulness is definitely getting bad. I am sorry for missing our appointment. I wonder why you could not call me when I was late. I joined Angies List two years ago and found many great new customers. I won their service award for two years in a row which is only given to the top 5% of their clients. It would be nice if you had called me again and gave me another chance. John

They arrived promptly and went right to work. The crew was skilled, efficient and worked as one. They were also pleasant and courteous to deal with. There was no time wasted. It was clear that they take pride in their work and rightly so.
Description of Work: They removed 10 very large stumps in our backyard, removed and ground additional stumps of at least six smaller " trash trees" that were unwanted volunteers and were crowding out other plants. These trees included at least 3 Carolina Cherries that annually produce berries that germinate everywhere requiring me to hand pull them before they become too large to pull out. The crew also removed dead branches, dead shrubs and removed all debris. In the front yard, we have three, huge southern live oaks that we planted in 1969. They are magnificent but they have not stopped producing vigorous new growth which unfortunately protrudes well into the street. This necessitates that they be trimmed back from the road and up to a height of 16 feet. We put this off as long as we could because it's a huge job that requires very skilled workmanship to avoid destroying the integrity of these wonderful old friends. This job was done to our satisfaction as well as dead growth removed on an old "evergreen pear" and one more old stump removed. Again, all debris was removed.

They arrived on time and a crew of about 5 guys had the tree cut down, the stump ground, and all the roots up in about 30 minutes (about a 25 foot tall, younger tree that had invasive roots). They even repaired a sprinkler that was broken as a result of the tree roots. Their quote was about $200 cheaper than a competitor. Good price, prompt, and good quality of work. Will definitely use them again! Thanks Ski's Trees.

My large old trees were overgrown and contained a lot of dead wood. I called John for an estimate and he responded immediately. When he came out to give me an estimate he was very knowledgeable, honest, friendly, and professional. His estimate was very reasonable. His crew arrived early on a Monday. There were 5 workers including John's adult son. They arrived with all the right equipment - bucket truck, chipper, etc. The men worked hard and constantly the entire day. They cleaned up everything nicely. I am very happy with the results. The trees look great! I highly recommend Ski's Tree Service. John always answered my calls immediately and I felt like I could trust him. I'm pretty picky and generally have high standards. I am happy to say that Ski's did a quality job and the price was reasonable. I'll probably have them come out next year to trim some of my palms.

John called an hour in advance to let us know when he would be arriving. I could not be home while the work was performed. So, I appreciated the call to know the tree removal would be completed. The removal was 30 minutes to completion when we received the call from John that they were almost done. I was able to go home on my lunch to inspect the work and pay for the service. The crew was fast and they cleaned up after themselves. John explained the work to me and told me to call if I had any questions. I would highly recommend them and use them again.

Thank You, We will be trimming your neighbor's Liquid Amber also, in two weeks. They are both city trees. The city doesn't trim the trees anymore. I have to say this anyways, when the city trimmed them in the past they didn't trim them as well as we do. They trimmed mostly lower branches and heavy branches. Thanks, John

Based on my experience with them and several other tree service companies, they are the best. They know trees and are very professional and clean.
Description of Work: Highly recommend Ski's - they are the only company I will allow to service my trees and they know trees. I recently had them remove a fallen ash tree limb 2 feet in diameter that had fallen on my neighbors house above their Hot Tub. This was a very difficult job that half the tree service companies couldn't handle. Ski removed the limb and cleaned up my neighbor's area, as well as my own, so well you would never have known anything happened.

Thank You so much. I only joined Angie's list recently and have enjoyed working for the people from this site. My guys do work well and have been together for many years. When I first started my business over 20 years ago I trimmed everyday. I can tell the skill of a tree trimmer in a very short amount of time. I have 4 tree trimmers and they are all highly skilled. I appreciate that you saw that also. Thanks Again, John

Fantastic. I have lived in this house for 40 years and had the trees trimmed approximately every two years for the past 30+ years. I have been somewhat satisfied to somewhat dissatisfied. Once I was screaming mad. For the first time I walked out and was pleasantly surprised. This team did twice a good as anyone ever has. Pleasantly surprised is an understatement. John has the equipment and a team that works like true professionals. They were there to get the job done and to do it right. They were extremely polite, and caring. I can not emphasize how impressed I was with the people, and the job. I had only planned to get two quotes for the pruning, but for some reason, I called Ski's Tree Service at the last minute. They were the cheapest, and I felt comfortable with John. Glad I made that last second call. Best pruning job I have had out of many. Years ago I would go with the non insured. These guys are competitive, licensed, and insured.
