Excellent advice and service at a very reasonable price. One word of warning: After coming out and giving us a quote they did not follow up (I note that one of the other reviews had the same problem). We had to track them down to schedule the work. We are glad that we did.
Description of Work: They trimmed one tree, cut down three others, and ground the stumps.

Called on Monday to set up an appointment. A wind storm had knocked over a large oak in our yard. We were concerned about the other trees and wanted quotes on pruning them as well. In all we wanted quotes on 4 different projects. Spoke with Henry who set up an meeting for Thursday between 11:00 and 11:30. Waited until 2:00 and Henry did not show up. No one called to explain. Felt that it was not up to me to chase down Henry. Clearly, they did not want the business. Think a courtesy call would have been professional.
Description of Work: Henry was a no show to an appointment. No call. No contact. Nothing. Other estimates were from $4000 to $5000.

Johnson Tree Service did a great job at a reasonable price. The only complaint I have is, they where a little slow to responding to emails.
Description of Work: They removed 1 large Liquid Amber tree, thinned out one large Redwood tree, trimmed numerous other trees in the front and backyard and ground two stumps. They did an excellent job cleaning up after they finished the work.

I contacted the companies based on reviews from Angie's List. I was not disappointed. Kevin was able to come out and make an estimate on trimming 2 very large pine trees soon after my initial call. The estimate was reasonable compared to other companies. They had an unexpected opening the same week of the estimate which worked out well for me. The crew was friendly and efficient and they left my yard cleaner than when they started! Kevin was around to during the day to ensure the work was done correctly and answer questions. Good experience overall.

I was very pleased with the estimation process and the efficiency of the work. Their estimation process uses the latest in mobile technology to take accurate notes and quickly get you an electronic estimate. Communication throughout the entire process was thorough and professional.
Description of Work: Had 6 trees trimmed and thinned. The trees were shaped nicely, work completed timely and all the trimmings were removed with no mess left behind.

Overall it went very well. I would use them again and recommed them highly.
Description of Work: I had Johnson's remove 4 20 - 30' tall Italian cypress trees from my yard. They were quick, tidy and thorough. Their quote was also the best. I had another quote from a company I used in 2004 to remove a dying Ponderosa pine tree and they wanted way more to remove these 4 cyrpess trees than Johnson's charged me.

We were looking for a reputable tree trimming service for our yard. Being members of Angie's List, we found Johnson's Tree Service. Scott Johnson, one of the owners, came and gave us an estimate. Scott was prompt, knowledgeable, friendly and personable. We decided to use his service, and arranged a date and time. We had overlooked the 10% discount for Angie's List members, and he very obligingly deducted it from the total cost. We would definitely use them again, and recommend them to our friends.
Description of Work: Scott Johnson and his crew of three did a splendid job of trimming our trees. Scott was here the entire time supervising his crew. They worked swiftly, and It took two hours to do the job. During that time, they trimmed three trees and one very large cluster of trees overlooking our yard from an adjacent neighbor. They even shaped the top of another small tree at no extra cost. Scott was punctual, professional, and cleaned up to our satisfaction when finished.

It was one of the better experiences that I've had with a tree service. I would definitely use them again and I would recommend to everyone.
Description of Work: I called to setup an appointment for estimate. Jerry arrived early. He's very attentive to detail and gave a quote. He also saw a couple of issues with my front yard, one of which is an aphids infestation that I missed. Once I received my three bids, I decided to use Terry's. I called their office and they were very friendly and I gave them my quote number and setup an appointment right away. The crew of seven came on time. They did removed one tree, cleared my backyard, trimmed all trees around the house, and did some yard work on my front yard. They also trimmed and shaped my juniper trees, which was way cheaper then other yard service people had quoted me before. About half way, they had a truck with the huge chipper and another crew of two person. They picked up the debris. They drove close to my backyard, first, then they drove to the front of house to pick up the remaining debris and trimmings. It took them about 4.5 hours to perform the work. The next day, they came and removed the stumps and roots in my backyard. The crew manager was very helpful and gave me lots of tips of maintaining the backyard and where to get new trees for my project.

As I said before, the whole experience was very positive. No complaints at all.
Description of Work: This service took out a rather large Gingko tree. They worked quickly and well; there was a lot of debris which they cleaned up immaculately. In addition, they shortened a 12 foot Podacarpus so it was at a level I could handle. They also removed a couple limbs from a wild Bay Tree that was growing over the fence and shading my yard too much. This crew was knowledgeable and congenial. The whole experience was very positive, and their price was reasonable. I would hire them again any time I had a need.

Eventually Johnson's did a good job but I can't give them an A because of problems I encountered. Because of their high rating on Angie's list, I anticipated no problems. I asked the supervisor to remove a tall palm tree, advise me about how to trim two other trees to make room for my power line and telephone line and do some additional trimming. When I returned home after their work I discovered that they had not removed the stump of the palm tree (it was left about 2 feet high) and their trim job on the trees with the wires was horrible - misshapen trees and the telephone wire was being pulled taut because one of the two trees was not trimmed enough. I called Johnson's and one of the owners came out with the supervisor to look at the work. After some discussion, we agreed on some additional trimming and stump grinding, which I paid another $400 for. They subsequently completed the work well, did a good job cleaning up, etc. I feel the supervisor did not communicate well with me, not telling me they were going to leave a stump; and also not giving me good alternatives on the trees that were interfering with wires. The owner did a good job fixing things but this should not have happened and I would be reluctant to user their service again.

Henry arrived promptly to give an estimate to remove one tree and trim the pines. We discussed whether any other trees needed maintenance at the same time. He suggested some additional minor trimming now, but that most should await a different season. His advise seemed sensible, so we agreed on exactly what would be done. A couple of days later, the job was handled quickly and efficiently. The cleanup was great. In the past, I have had some bad tree service experiences. So I was happy they have a knowledgeable arborist and actually stayed to supervise the job! I will be calling again in a few months.
Description of Work: Removed one dead tree. Pruned two large pines that had some dead branches and some that seemed at risk of breaking. Did some other minor trimming around the yard.

They came over & suggested it be cut back. They came and trimmed it back for me. I did all the correspondence over the phone. I was not at home when the service was done but my sister was there. The way the man told me over the phone was exactly like he said it would turn out. They were cordial, professional and very honest.
Description of Work: One of the branches on our tree was leaning over and coming down. I had them come over to look at it.

When the crew, Henry and the arborist returned to do the work, the arborist (and Henry) clearly showed us that the three trees were indeed dying, so we agreed to have them removed, renegotiating the price. The crew performed the job efficiently, came back the next day to remove the stumps and did a thorough clean up. Henry did have to call us twice to change the agreed upon date/time for doing the work which caused a bit on inconvenience, but he was very professional about all and we were more than satisfied with the overall results.
Description of Work: We called Johnson's to prune four trees, two of which were quite tall. When Henry came out to give the estimate and looked at the trees, he indicated that three of them seemed to be dying and offered to bring the company's arborist out when they came to do the work to see if he might advise us to take the trees out rather than prune them, and start all over again. We agreed.

They removed a very tall tree about 50 feet and they ground the stump. We have used them before. While they were here we took out another tree which was 40 feet and still standing and we didn’t know how much longer it would stand. I like their rapid response. He got right out when the tree fell down and this was near Christmas. I called him up and asked if he could come and he showed up that day and they had it out by that evening. They stayed after dark to get it done. I don't have anything to compare them to.
Description of Work: I used the service of Johnson's Tree Service LLC about three years ago when our tree fell over.

It went very well. I got the estimate and an approximate timeline. I had a hot tub that needed removal before they could finish the job. So they came back to work on the roots after the hot tub was removed. Some of the roots were not finished, so they promptly came back and solved the problem adjusting to my schedule to finish the job. I wish they had seen it themselves before I had to called them, but they were so responsive after my call that I am completely pleased with their job.

They did a fine job. I was perfectly satisfied with them. I don't have any dislikes. The price was reasonable. They showed up when they were scheduled to and they got the job done properly. They did what they promised to do. They cleaned up very well and cleared all the debris I will use them in the future.

Henry's team trimmed and cleaned up a huge old oak tree in my yard (overhanging 3 properties). My two neighbors both showed up and decided to pipe in about what they wanted done with the tree. I was not thrilled, but Henry handled it like a champ. He was pleasant and courteous to everyone, and in the end, all 3 of us were satisfied with the job done. The price was competitive and Johnson's did a nice job. Henry was great to work with too! His estimate was very competitive, and the price charged was exactly that of the estimate, no surprises. I'll definitely reuse Johnson's!

These guys did excellent work, provided excellent service and helped us out with an incident with our neighbors (we forgot to ask one of our adjacent neighbors about an access issue) by giving the neighbors a bit of free service. They had an emergency call just prior to the time we had scheduled but, were able to reschedule the job to start for a few hours later and finished the job on the originally anticipated day! Their clean-up after the job left our yard looking cleaner than before they did all they work and they were very careful in handling the tree tops so nothing got damaged.
Description of Work: 12 50ft tall Cypress trees topped off to about 35 ft, right at the mark were they had been swaying and level with the top window of the second floor of our house per their suggestions. One 40 ft (approx) Eucalyptus tree removed. One Olive tree trimmed.

Henry came out within a few days for an estimate. We received other estimates and the prices were comparable. Our neighbor has a huge ash tree that had overtaken our back yard. Henry handled talking to the neighbor and telling him what he recommended that was best for the tree, and getting permission to climb the tree. The crew came at the specified time and chipped and hauled off the branches. Also, we have a vinyl lined pool which punctures very easily. Although the branches were all above the pool, the crew were careful not to puncture the pool liner. I will definitely ue them again.

There was a mixiup on the initial quote making the job appear to be much more expensive. When we questioned it, the errors were immediately corrected, and the job was awarded to them. The crew arrived on time and completed the job within the time quoted. No collateral damage was done to our home, fencing, or gardens. All debris was cleaned up after the trimming was completed.
Description of Work: Removal of several major limbs from a large Jacaranda tree. The job was complicated by an intertwined power line and telephone line, and proximity to home, garden, and fencing.
