It went great. They arrived on time and safely removed the one problem tree which was on a slope and appropriately trimmed the other trees. I definitely plan to use them in the future and recommend them to other homeowners.

They came for a site visit within three hours of calling and the bid was so reasonable I decided not to get other bids. Trees were trimmed and waste hauled away within 2 1/2 hours. Two large trees trimmed to where I can now prune them with a ladder and long pruning pole. Quick, efficient, and reasonable

I received estimates from 3 companies. Sutton was the lowest of the three, but had good reviews so I chose them. The trimmers arrived at the scheduled time, were very professional and the job was completed on the same day. It was a bit noisy, which they had warned me about, but generally a good experience. When my son was looking for someone to remove some trees from his property, I recommended Sutton and he was also very pleased with the work they did and the price he paid.

A Mexican fan palm was too tall for us to prune the dead fronds. 2 men from Sutton Tree Service removed the palm tree. They were able to cut off the trunk very low to the ground so it is unobtrusive. A row of Italian Cypress trees was too tall so the men also pruned the trees . The men were very professional and thoroughly cleaned up the debris after they had finished .

They showed up on time and finished everything very quickly. Everything was cleaned up and hauled away. Even all the leaves on my patio area that had been there for a month were gone. Their price for everything was lower than what it cost me to just trim the Coral Tree last time. I can highly recommend their honesty, skill, and price.

I went great. Before we knew it, they were done. Cleaned up all of the tree debris (loose leafs, limbs etc). If it hadn't been for the overhanging tree missing, we would not have known they had been there, LOL!

The crew arrived on time and brought their small chipper since our driveway could not accommodate a large truck. Some companies only have larger trucks, so it's important to ask. The three men worked efficiently and even though branches fell, our ground cover and plants were not tramped over. I felt that we were charged a fair price. I would definitely have them do work in the future.

The two tree trimmers arrived on time and ready to go. They completed the job in five hours and cleaned up my yard nicely. All work was completed as our contract stated. I appreciated the 5% discount they gave to me for being an Angie's List member. Sutton was not the lowest quote I got, but we liked the company and felt like their professionalism was worth it.
Description of Work: Trimmed 12 Queen Palms, removed 1 bottlebrush and ground out the stump, removed 2 giant bird of paradise and ground out the stumps, removed one queen palm and ground out the stump. Cleaned up the dead blooms of our giant bird of paradise trees and hauled away all tree trimmings.

I would give high marks with their professionalism. They had knowledge of trees. They informed me that the spikes are bad for the palm trees. They avoided damaging the palm trees. The only thing I hate is they left drinking water bottles laying around. They did a great job of cleaning up the mess and the trees but they left the bottles behind. They didn't finish their clean up work.

Sutton' screw did an excellent job on all aspects of this work. They removed a two-story plus ficus tree that was very close to the house and a back retaining wall with no damage. Our three-story tall queen palm was removed to the ground with no damage to a camellia just a foot or so away. They were highly professional, quick, and expert throughout the work.

We shopped around Angie's List and found 4 top tree service people to bid for the job. Sutton was by far the lowest so of course it made us double check the estimates and call back all the providers. They came on time and quickly proceeded to do the jobs. This included multiple tree pruning/trimming (pear trees, cypress pinetrees, orchids, magnolia, acacia, olive trees) and disposal. They worked efficiently and even gave us suggestions on tree care and how to maintain the fruit trees we had while they were on site. Did the job and asked us to make sure if everything is perfect/good to go before they left. Cleaned up without a mess. Definitely recommended and would encourage others to use them, great people.

The first visit the crew came out and did a very poor job of trimming. I could see a little bit of trimming but not a lot. So I contacted the company and the owner came out, looked over the tree and agreed that the crew did not do a good job. He, therefore, sent out a 2nd and different crew who properly trimmed the tree.

I email Sutton Tree Service for transplanting two olive trees on my property. I provided details for job including crane requirement. Within the same day, Kristin replied and referred a crane company that can meet my crane needs. I greatly appreciated Kristin's honesty and integrity because she saved me a few hundred dollars for Sutton not being the "middle" man. She said why pay me for the middle man where you can call the crane company directly. Thanks again!!!

Dean showed up the time he said he would show up. His price beat about five other tree service companies we received quotes from. His crew came about four weeks later on schedule and finished the job on schedule. They cleaned up well. Palm tree trimming left less than what we expected but I figure it will grow back in no time. Same with the ash tree which still looks nice. They did leave a fairly large dent in the grass area when they cut down a tree.

I am so disappointed with this company. I scheduled an estimate about a week and a half ahead of time, received a confirmation from them...but on the morning they were supposed to show, nothing. I sent a note asking if they would like to reschedule and still nothing from them. Wow.

Response from Sutton Tree Service Inc
Good Morning (removed member name) I just want to personally apologize for not getting back to you. I don’t know how I let your bid appointment slip through the cracks. I must have just forgot to put it down on Deans bid sheet! The day it was scheduled for I was out of the office so I did not receive your follow up email that day. Your email must have just got lost in my pile of things to do when I got back. Again, I am so sorry for the inconvenience, my lack of communication, and outright carelessness. I hope your bad experience with me does not affect your views on the rest of the company. Enjoy your weekend!

Dean Sutton came to the property and made an estimate of what needed to be done. I liked his price and analysis. So about a week later his crew came to the property and did a very good job. I felt I got really good value. There was no problem with the work and I was very totally satisfied with the results.
Description of Work: I have a large pine tree that needed to be trimmed. It was growing into the utility wires.

Dean was very prompt for his estimate and his crew seemed very knowledgeable. The visit was not completed until another day due to the unavailability of the stump grinder. This did not create any problem for us. The entire process went smoothly and professionally.

I called Sutton Tree Service at 1:00 on 3/13/14 to schedule an appointment for an estimate. Because Dean, person who does the estimate was already in the area, he came over in 15 minutes. He game me an estimate and said it might be a couple of weeks before he could get to my job. That was fine with me since there was no rush on the tree removal. However, later that day, Dean gave me a call and said he could do the job the following day about 1:00. The crew of two, Brian and Herardo, came about 12:30 the following day. They were extremely efficient and very professional. They finished the job in about 2 hours and cleaned up after themselves. I could not be happier with the results and with their overall job performance. I would definitely call Sutton Tree Service again if I should have tree issues in the future.

They were beyond amazing! They were super professional, absoutely punctual. The gentleman introduced himself and his team to us, kept us very well informed on what they were going to do. They took down two trees in the back, and a massive tree in the front. We have other homes and fences close to us, and not a single piece of wood was broken. They did a wonderful job of cleaning up and picking up everything. They are all amazing! They even did a price match for us at the last minute!
