At Stillman's we have "grown" our business by arriving with a good attitude and a smile, and doing competent work. We are always pleased to serve you.We specialize in tree trimming and tree removal. We always clean up the mess and NEVER take money until the job is completed to your satisfaction. When we're finished, the only evidence that we've ever come, is in the finished results. Take a moment and view our before and after photos, to see for yourself!
Impressed with the speed of them coming out for an estimate & scheduling the service ASAP. Only real complaint I had was they were several hours late coming out to do the actual job. I had to contact them to see where they were. I feel they should have called to let me know they were coming out much later.
Description of Work: Trimmed large oak tree limb & demossed as much as possible from remainder of tree. Cleaned up very well. Cut several smaller pieces so that I could use them in my fireplace.

I personally wasn't there when the service was performed but when I returned the work was completed and the yard was clean of any debris from the job.
Description of Work: Spoke with Andrew Stillman to have a bush removed from the front yard. Although I was out of town and was under time constraints he provided professional and prompt service.

These guys were really good. They left my house better than when they started. They were awesome. Everything was beautiful when they left. They blew all the decks off and made it look so pretty. They were incredible. I will use them again for sure.
Description of Work: I used Stillman's Tree Service about a week ago. They trimmed four or five trees and they cut down one 35 foot giant tree next to the house. They also took out some yard waste. I had two old jacuzzi's in my backyard and they took them to the curb.

When I originally called, I believe they sent someone out the same day for an estimate. I found the price to be reasonable so I called back and set a date and services were performed on that date.
Description of Work: I wasn't home when services were performed, but they did a good job cleaning up and the trees were trimmed as requested.

I first phoned and left a message but did not get a call back in the next 2 days. I called again and was offered to have Jim come out the next day between 9 and 11 AM and provide an estimate. At 11.30 when he had not arrived I called the office, who got Jim on his cell. He called me promtly, said he was running late and would be at our place by noon, which he was We were given a quote which they honored. We asked for the work to be done the next day, Jim said he would check to see if a crew was available. The next day a crew showed up at about 10AM, no phone call before. They worked quickly and got the job done in less than 3 hours.

The crew chief seemed to understand what we wanted it to look like. He communicated to the crew well. We were pleased with the results but are not sure what the normal rates are. This seemed a little high for the job done. The next time I will get other estimates to compare the price to other trimming services.
Description of Work: The crew arrived as scheduled. They did a very nice job trimming up the shrubs, palms and flower beds. They left things in good order when they left and completed all that we had contracted to do.

Andrew, Jim and the crew are all extremely courteous, professional, exuding in positive and proactive attitudes. They work diligently, effectively, efficiently and are VERY reasonably priced. They care about your satisfaction and consistently provide exemplary service. The professionalism is above-par and they strive to do things the right way and not half-way or "good enough." It's a refreshing attitude in an industry fraught with problematic providers. There is a reason for their good ratings - Stillman has earned them.
Description of Work: Washingtonian palms trimmed, vines cleared, and clean up of overgrowth throughout yard. I've used them for a couple years now and this price only reflects recent work. I've probably spent over $3000.00 with them

The representative responded promptly to give an estimate. They gave the best estimate of four companies. A date for service was arranged and they arrived on time and were extremely polite, professional and I could not have been more pleased. They were doing such a great job that two of my neighbors contracted for their services the same day. I have six oaks in my front yard and one in the back. They are now so beautiful that the compliments just keep comming! They also did my pigby palm and explained how to keep it trimmed in the future. When finished they left the entire area so clean you would not have known any workers had been on the property.
Description of Work: Seven Oak trees were trimmed.

We found Stillman Tree Service on Angie's List and they had great scores. When I called they were quite busy after the tropical storm but Jim Stillman came by the next day to look at the job. The first thing he did when I answered the door was to hand me the company's insurance and workers compensation certificates and their Angie's List scores. I always ask for the insurance documents so it was very comfortable to get that out of the way and I appreciated his initiative. I know little or nothing about tree trimming so I appreciated how he took me around my property and advised me on what was needed without making me feel like I was being taken advantage of. He took notes as we talked and carefully wrote down every tree he would be trimming. At the end of our tour he had the estimate finished and we agreed on the price. I knew we had to be flexible on the day the work would be done because of rainy weather but they were only delayed one day. The crew showed up on time the crew leader walked around the property with me to make sure we both knew what they were about to do. They were also very flexible about adding a couple of limbs while they were up there. The job took longer than I expected, not that that is a criticism since I was available all day. They were very thorough and careful and did a great job of cleaning up and hauling away all the debris when they were done. Stillman's far exceeded our expectations.
Description of Work: After Tropical Storm Debby we had some broken branches hanging from our pine trees. We also had 10 cabbage palms that need trimming and many dead branches on backyard trees. Jim Stillman, who did the estimate, recommended trimming methods to be prepared in case of additional storms or hurricanes.

Jim followed up the same day we contacted him for a quote, and returned our calls promptly to set up the work schedule. He was very professional, punctual, and informative, and his prices were very good. Gabe and his crew (Enrique, Domingo, Josh, and the others) were very pleasant and polite, hard-working, and know their job well! All the work done exceeded our expectations. They were also very thorough with their clean-up… they even raked and blew. We will definitely use this company again!! Thank you, Jim and Gabe and your crew!
Description of Work: Removed 5 trees (2 large, and 3 small). Trimmed and removed dead branches on many other trees.

Andrew's crew arrived promptly...their quote was more than fair and they did a phenomenal job. Cut down trees and shrubs and hauled it all away...leaving my yard clean and RAKED !! The guys were professional, courteous and extremely efficient. THANK YOU again, Andrew and your team !!!! I feel that Andrew is now a trusted friend. I received the kind of service we all hope for but have learned NOT to expect....so thanks Andrew for restoring my faith...I can expect the very best...it is still out there. Lastly thank you to Angie's List for your service....much appreciated !!
Description of Work: I e-mailed Stillman's Tree Services and 3 other tree trimming services at approx 11:00 PM in quite a predicament...I was having a shed delivered the following morning at 10:00am and the company I had hired to remove my hedge and trim the trees had failed to arrive. There was no way to deliver my shed which was already en route from North Port !!!!! :( Was I ever surprised.... When I checked my e-mail at 8:00am the following morning Andrew Stillman had responded to my e-mail at a little after midnight...(talk about commitment to service) I called immediately...Andrew answered.....he was gracious and kind and assured me that he would make a couple of calls and call me right back. I then went online to see if I could reach a few other companies.True to his word, and quite frankly... much to my surprise, Andrew called back to say he would have a crew over within the hour. I inquired about pricing and he told me not to worry, his guys would quote me when they arrived. Of course I was concerned that the price would be more than I could afford because this was a rush job and he knew that I was basically, between a rock and a hard place.He told me not to worry about it, and I quote "What kind of people would we be if are were not able to help out when someone is in need"

Wow is the word to best describe the removal of my trees. If you want a good tree service then Andrew's is the one for you. Both he and his crew are fantastic. They had the difficult task of removing two huge trees from the yard and had to use a crane for part of the job which made for great rubber necking in the neighborhood. The old adage you get what you pay for is so true here. Andrew may not be the cheapest but he is definitely the best and the results in my yard are proof of that. ---- Donna

Expertly done. See work description and comments above.
Description of Work: Andrew and his crew removed 6 X 50 ft tall Washingtonia Palms and arranged for the stumps to be ground out the same day. They also removed 2 tall holly bushes and a ligustrum tree. They also trimmed 2 Live Oak and trimmed 7 Pygmy Date Palms. All work was completed professionally and promptly. The tall palms were next to the house so they had to be handled carefully which they did. All tree removal and trimming was performed expertly and clean up was thorough. I will recommend Stillman's Tree Service to my neighbors and friends who need this type of work done.

Following contact with the company, a representative met with us and gave us a written estimate. The crew showed up as agreed and came back a second day to complete the work. The yard was well cleaned up and the work was completed as agreed upon. Following service the original representative came back to review the work and worked on one of the trees to his satisfaction.
Description of Work: Trimmed several pine trees and scaled back large laurel and ficus trees. Very friendly and helpful staff. A good experience.

Andrew Stillman is the guy I dealt with. I would highly recommend them. They have done some work for us in the past. My mother had used them for some work as well. We have been impressed with them since that time and they recently did some other work for us. I found them to be very straightforward and professional. We spent about $300 for the last service. They do big jobs, but we were just using them for residential service. They also do large commercial work; so it’s pretty substantial. I have dealt with other people in the similar business. Sometimes, you wish they call you back a little quicker. They are good, but they are a busy company.

They cut the limbs of the branches right back to the tree and left everything very clean afterward. We didn't realize how really overgrown these limbs were until they were finished and my husband said, as he was driving out for work "I can actually see the oncoming traffic by over 3 streets now!" We would definitely use their services again! We felt the price was very fair as we got another estimate from another of a company on Angie's List and his quote was quite a bit higher.
Description of Work: We had quite a few long branches from Pine Trees that were on Manatee County property that were hanging over our yard, close to our pool. Manatee county would not pay for this and we were afraid that if a really bad storm came the branches might break and bring down our fence and also hit the cage on our pool. They sent out 4 men who actually climbed the trees and cut the branches and cleaned up everything as they went along so that the sidewalk would not be impeded if someone came along and needed to use the sidewalk. They came at 8 AM sharp and were here until almost 7PM and worked very hard all day long with short breaks as it was very hot that day.

During one of the storms my tree fell down. I called and Andrew came out that evening to give me an estimate. I also asked if the gutters could get cleaned as I could not get to them. He gave me a reasonable estimate. The tree was not in an area that was obstructing anything so I told him there wasn't a rush. Andrew though it would be a lttle while because he was backed up-and that was fine with me. The next day he called, they had time to get my job done-he sent 2 of his workers over. They were professional and did a great job (even working in 90 degree heat). I would definately use them again and recommend them

I've gotten good vibes from him. He is very conservative and a person of integrity. He will not leave until the job is done and you are satisfied. He was willing to come back several times to talk. One time he was going to be a few minutes late and he called to tell me. He gave me some free advice on taking care of trees. He doesn't sublet the work and if he doesn't have the equipment to do the job, he will refer you to somebody else. He will let you deal directly with them and not take any commission. His bid was very low. He was willing to work with me and gave me different bids to just drop the tree and to also take the tree to the street. When I get the money, he will be the one that I will call. He was professional and I plan on using him.
Description of Work: I got bids from Stillman's Tree Service about six weeks ago to do some tree work for me.
