Did not use the service. Went with a company I used before.
Description of Work: Called the company for an estimate on removing a large dying tree. Set up a date/time for viewing the tree and making a proposal. When that date arrived and 15 minutes past the appt time, I called the office and there was some confusion about who made the appointment and when. Two men arrived shortly within the half hour and gave a verbal estimate and said they would send the proposal by email that same day. It was approximately two days later that I got the email, but the proposal by attachment never materialized. Another attempt failed as well. Eventually, I asked them to put the proposal in the text of the email and that succeeded.

Overall the service was great. I met with Henry as planned to review my plan. The job was a perfect fit for his team based on our discussion. I did run into some hiccups with the quotation where they didn't quite spell out everything I asked them to do but stated it rather more generically. It didn't really ever get fixed, but the work that was done was great. The two pear trees were thinned out a bit more than I had expected, but after speaking with Henry, he assured me that the trees were reshaped and thinned to provide longevity to the job as the trees will easily regrow their leaves. I was satisfied with the service and the price, and I'd happily bring back Henry, Kevin, and their team when it looks like it's time to clean things up again.
Description of Work: Prune and remove deadwood on 6 citrus trees. Reshape as necessary. Prune and remove deadwood on 3 pineapple guava trees and reshape. Clean-up and remove deadwood on 1 birch tree. Clean up and reshape 2 fruitless pear trees. Reshape locust tree so that it will not overlap house and remove deadwood.

I emailed Johnson's Tree Service on August 10, via Angie's list messaging system, to try to schedule an appointment for that weekend to have them come and take a look at the four redwood trees we wanted removed. Not having heard back from them by August 13, I decided to email Henry using the email address listed on the company's website (I thought my message may not have reached him through Angie's list). It's now August 14 in the late evening and I have not heard back still. Since they haven't shown any interest in giving us a bid, I'm giving up. Disappointing experience, especially given the company had received such positive comments from previous customers.

We finally were able to get together after rescheduling our appointment. I will tell you that Henry and his group did a superb job overall as he was very accommodating to our various changes as well as understanding what we wanted versus the original estimate. There were plenty of crew available to do the job and they got right to it even on a Saturday morning which they showed up right on time! What we enjoyed the most was their flexibility and desire do the job right even going over trimming our Cypress trees to get the right angle after several tries.The cleanup was great and they even took some extra cuttings that we had from a previous clearing of our landscaping. Henry was in complete control of the crew and wanted to be sure that everything was communicated the way we wanted it done. After the job was completed, we were very happy with our view of the golfcourse that they created for us as well as the final bill for the entire job was well worth it. We will definitely use Johnson Tree Service again as we need a bigger view of the golf course now.

They have a good tree trimmer and his name is Alberto. We did not have a good experience with them last year. Their price was reasonable but they did not perform according to the contract. They did less with what they contracted for.

I was in contact with Kevin Johnson himself and he came out to do an estimate the same week. He provided his expertise on what can be trimmed and cut. He was open and flexible with price options depending on how much work I wanted done. He answered all my questions to my satisfaction. The actual work was scheduled a week later for a total of three days of work. A team of four workers showed up before 8:30 am followed by Kevin in the morning to make any further instructions. The workers were professional and worked long past 6:00 pm. They were able to finish the entire job in two days instead of three. Everything was cleaned up and returned to original state. I was very satisfied with the work.
Description of Work: I had two large pine trees cut to the ground and two cypress trees trimmed.

When I called for an estimate, Henry was friendly, professional and efficient. He asked good questions and set up an appointment to give me an estimate. Kevin and Henry were right on time for the appointment. Both of them are personable and friendly and I felt comfortable with them. The estimate I got was higher than others, but the reason I went with Johnson's Tree service is because Kevin brought more to the table than the others who gave me bids. I had only asked for tree removal but Kevin said they could prune and clean up the remaining trees as part of the job. He also offered to dig up and remove some of the plants that I didn't want in the yard while he taking out the tree roots. His recommendations and suggestions were above and beyond my plans of the job, and would save me a lot of work further down the line. To me, the slightly higher fee was worth the service and expertise Kevin brought to the job. Kevin and crew arrived promptly and on schedule to remove the trees. His crew worked efficiently and quickly finished the job. I have no complaints about their work and am very pleased with them. Johnson's delivered everything that was written up in the bid and more. I'm very happy with them and would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Had approximately 8 small and one fair-sized tree removed from back yard, plus maple tree taken out front yard. I also asked them to trim back some of the deodora cedar branches that were hanging over the front yard and smothering a flowering cherry tree. Job included the roots ground-up and mulched. Job was done in 2 steps. Thursday was removal of trees and hauling away. Saturday Kevin returned to work on root removal and mulching.

They arrived on time, were great to work with and are the best tree service we have used. Their pricing is very reasonable. I would definitely have them back again.
Description of Work: We have a yucca palm in our back yard, Johnson Tree Service cleaned it up in 2012. This time we asked for a quote to 1. trim it and 2. to remove it. We elected to have the tree removed. They arrived on time, removed the tree and stump plus three other bushes that have died. They cleaned up everything and hauled away all of the debris. I would recommend this contractor anytime. Both on their performance and fair prices.

JTS' guys couldn't make the initial estimate date due to an emergency that another customer had experienced related to a fallen tree, however they were very apologetic and arrived promptly for the follow-up estimate appointment. We felt that JTS' bid of $1,600 for the work was very competitive and they agreed to reduce their bid by 10% or $160 using the Angie's List coupon. They arrived on time to conduct the removal and pruning and their work was outstanding. Their workers also happily agreed to remove a number of logs that had been stored under our deck by a previous owner and did so free of charge. I can't recommend Johnson's Tree Service highly enough and would certainly use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I called Johnson's Tree Service to remove a large honey locust tree from my property and to prune another even larger honey locust tree and remove the vines that were growing on it.

Estimate time was scheduled and appointment was kept. We got a thorough explanation of what each of the trees needed. The estimate was given....minus 10% for Angie's List coupon. Work was started that afternoon and was completed before five o'clock.All debris was removed and the trees look wonderful!!!!

Did a fine job and even suggested additional trimming as a preventative measure. Very satisfied with the look of the tree and the efficacy of the job. Only one issue came up - they had told us one date over the phone and then didn't show up. Turns out they had either told us the wrong date or had it written down wrong on their schedule. They showed up promptly for the date they had us down for so it wasn't that big a deal for us. Mistakes happen - just ask my kids soccer team about the time I was snack mom!

I called Johnson's Tree Service to get an estimation. Henry came over and I was impressed with his presentation. Then, he told me that he would email me his quote. Two days went by and I didn't see any email. So, I called them up and left him a message (just in case he sent to the wrong email address.) Another two days went by. So, I called again and left another message. As you might expect, he never called me back or whatsoever. Then, I called him the 3rd time. This time Henry picked up the phone. When I asked him if he received my voice mail, he said no (It was his cell phone. so, I don't know how he did not receive my voice mail.) He then went on and said he would call me back in 10 mins. A day went by and he never called me back. It is their choice if they don't want to take the job. I respect their decision. But, not responding any voice mail and lied to you....it is very unprofessional. I don't know whether or not they would have done a good job. I highly doubt that they would keep whatever promises they gave you during their presentation. I would never use them in the future even if their bid was cheaper. P.S. Btw, his bid wasn't the cheapest. But, I was going to choose them based on his presentation and review from Angie's list.

Excellent work, fast, and clean. Kevin is great. Very responsive. I've lived in the neighborhood for years and have used other tree services that merely butchered the pines, in particular. They looked unsightly and unnatural. Kevin's team, however, made them look beautiful.

I called 3 companies from Angie's list to prune my Zelcova tree. Johnson's was one of the 3 and was also one of the two lowest estimates. Hank was professional, punctual and responsive. He arrived right on time. He listen to what I was asking and provided me with an emailed estimate. With Angie's 10% discount,the estimate was $360. It was difficult to choose between Johnson's and the other company, but because the other company's estimate was more detailed and provided additional services in which to chose, I chose the other company.

Total experience from start to finish was excellent. I contacted Johnson's Tree Service in the morning to schedule an appointment for an estimate. They came out that afternoon and we discussed the work i wanted to have done. The estimate provided was great. I called the next day to schedule an appointment to have the work done. Kevin, Henry, and their team arrived the following morning at the time promised. The four trees that were taken out were cut down very quickly and neatly. The four trees that had the height reduced, thinned, and shaped are absolutely beautiful. Removal of all debris was also done quickly and very neatly. Not only was the work done well, but the whole team was very professional and a pleasure to do business with. Anyone considering having any type of tree service done would be doing themselves a dis-service if they did not contact Johnson's Tree Service. If you do, you won't be disappointed. Thank-you guys!
Description of Work: Johnson's Tree Service removed two liquid amber and two pear trees; they also reduced the height, cleaned, and thined two additional liquid amber and two pear trees. One pear stump was grineded, and they cleaned and hauled away all debris.

Their service was good. They had another crew doing the stump removal work and for the most part they did a good job as well. The stump removal crew had to maneuver a large machine through our yard and there was a bit of damage to our yard. Because of that I'd rate the stump removal crew as a B. They could have been more careful. The tree service is the first people I would recommend. They provided a good service at a little cheaper price than some of the others.

The day of service was great, they called to say when they would be coming and made sure that we would be home and that it was okay to come. They even trimmed a few branches off the front tree that hangs over the street because they felt they were a danger, at no additional charge!!! I would hire they again in a heartbeat, and they left the job site so clean, even blowing under where the truck was parked when it pulled away. Finally someone that knows what they are doing and saved me so much time and hassle. As a mom of 3, I don't want to waste my time or my money.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate on President's Day and they were actually able to come and give me an estimate that day. They were nice, professional, and really took the time to look at the trees. I wanted to get my front 20' tall pear tree removed and stump ground down, one large section of a birch tree removed, sculpting of another birch that hung over our neighbors property, and another tree stump ground down. I thought the price was very fair, and with the Angie's discount I got 10% off which was even better. They were able to schedule me about a week and half from the estimate and sent everything over in writing.
