Steve had some other jobs that delayed him in getting to me on the day he told me, but he got to me the very next day. His crew appeared right on time. They asked for my approval before cutting. A couple of times they asked how I wanted things done. They were fast and efficient. They removed all of the cuttings except for one minor limb. I would definitely hire them again.

beds. I Will most definately use Willis Tree Service again and will recommend to my friends.
Description of Work: Mr. Willis met me at my home yesterday morning, although he was running a little late, called to let me know. He looked over the pecan tree issues, explained to me what needed to be done, gave me the estimate, and I was very satisfied. He told me that his crew might get to the job that same afternoon. Although there were thundershowers in the early afternoon, the work was completely finished when I got home from work. I was very pleased the estimate and the work was done in the same day. The crew cleaned up very well, and I only found a few very small branches that had fallen in the flower

Called and asked for someone to come out and give me a price on tree removal and stump grinding. They got back with me a week later and gave me a seperate price for both the removal and grinding. We agreeded and they returned on 06/22/2012 to do the tree removal only.After doing the tree removal they left without any notice as to when someone would return to do the stump grinding. They also left oil spots on my driveway and mail box from a leaking crain and they also left their ropes lying in my backyard. After about a week of not hearing from anyone, I sent them an email in search of a responce. I received a call from someone that same day and was informed that I was on the list for having the stump grinding done. On 7/03/2012 someone kocked on my door at 8am to say he was there to do the stump grinding. He did the work, picked up the rope that was left and I gave him the check and we are done.
Description of Work: Had a tree cut down in backyard and stump grinding.

Gave a more than fair quote and could start quickly. Had a crew large enough to get these jobs done, despite their being so much work. Had a wait for the stump grinder, but an awful lot of rain and storms was the reason for the delay. I sure would not like to do this job so it was nice to have it in such professional hands!
Description of Work: Took down 24 large pine trees, ground stumps and hauled away all the debris. The men were easy to work with and quick to let me know if they needed anything.

We accepted the estimate given us for the work to be performed and they returned the next day, promptly, and did a spectacular job of cutting the limbs back. The limbs that were removed were at least 2 feet in diameter and they were on a very steep roof. They did an excellent job of cleaning up all debris and carrying off the limbs they cut. We would definitly use them again and highly recommend Willis Tree Service.
Description of Work: After obtaining Willis Tree Service information from Angie's List, we called for an estimate on cutting back a hugh tree that was over our roof and in particular, the chimney, as well as over our deck and swimming pool.

One word - WOW! When we called for an estimate they sent somebody out within an hour! The estimate was exactly what we had figured would be fair. Less than an hour after giving a verbal estimate, they sent us an email with a written one. The night before they came they called to remind us of the time. The next morning they arrived 10 minutes early (we were impressed!). The three guys went right to work without wasting any time. It was obvious they knew what they were doing and they used the right equipment quickly and safely. Best of all, there was NO (ZERO!) mess! They hauled all the limbs away and even raked up the area just to ensure they got any stray leaves or twigs. Willis Tree Service is professional in every aspect from customer service to final cleanup. We're looking forward to doing more business with them this fall.
Description of Work: Trimmed 7 trees - four that were impossible for us to do because of the height.

They did fantastic work, including carefully avoiding damage to a spindly little dogwood tree that was in their way. Their several heavy trucks did do some damage to underground water pipes, but we knew this was par for the course and unavoidable. Overall, we were very pleased.
Description of Work: We had six huge pine trees and three large old oaks removed. It took them two and a half days but part of that time was spent waiting on JEA to arrive to take down a powerline so the tree company could operate the crane trucks safely.

I wanted the trees removed quickly and only recieved two estimates. Their estimate was lower and they also seemed more knowledgeable than the other company that quoted me. The other company wanted to take out a section of fencing to pull down one of the trees that was easily accessible through my pasture. I had some concerns since one of the trees was near power lines, one was by my barn and a third was between two fences. They were able to get all of them down without causing any damage. The guys did a great job, even cleaning up some of the dead limbs that had fallen off the pine tree before they came. I was very happy with their work and would use them again.
Description of Work: I had four trees removed a dead pine tree, two large oaks and a much smaller oak that was also dead.

I guess the work was okay for the price. The only thing that was really excellent about them was their price. They did not exactly finish the job, but they came in and picked it up after a person that I was going to hire came in and matched their price. I would not consider working with them again in the future.

Willis Tree Service workers cut up and removed a large pine tree which had fallen in our side yard during a storm. The area is not accessible by truck so they carried the logs and branches out by hand and cleaned up the debris. Willis was quick to respond to my initial phone call and quick to come do the work. This is the second job they've done for us. Great job!

Overall, no problems.
Description of Work: Willis removed a large old tree from the front of our yard because it was diseased. They also ground the stump. They arrived on time and cut down the tree without incident. Their price was quite a bit lower than a local competitor. Their administrative department was friendly and professional, though we did have some problems exchanging emails. Phone calls were the best method of communication.

Excellent!
Description of Work: Had the sail taken out of several trees. Had some branches trimmed over power lines. A major large oak was completely removed and the stump was ground. I was concerned because we had a new deck and the large tree was right up to it. .Absolutely no damage was done at all.We are very pleased . Also desuckered tree in front of house and took a small tree down there also. They hauled off all debris.We were pleased to use 10% coupon from Angies List also. Original price was $1500. We paid $1350 after coupon. We have used them before and will certainly use them again. Excellent company! It's like watching artists the way they coordinate all their ropes and moves.

We interviewed several companies for tree service that was estimated around 1500. Even though we ended up giving the work to another company that we also found on Angie's List, we were impressed by the professionalism and knowledge of this company. Their bid was very much in line with the other company we went with and we would recommend them.
Description of Work: We have many trees, palms in our yard that needed trimming and several that were dead that needed to be cut down.

I called to see if they would come give me an estimate to prune/shape a small oak tree and take down a tall dead pine. I was told that the estimate would be free, but they had a minimum charge of $375 so I did not go any further.

Response from WILLIS TREE SERVICE
I am truly sorry you feel that having a minimum charge is wrong. We try not to waist any potential customers time in taking off time for us to come and give an estimate if they do not intend on spending at least $350.00. We are insured and run at least three trucks no mater how small the job and even if another company tells you they do not have a minimum I would have a very hard time believing them. It will always cost each of something to roll out our crews I just did not want to lie to you about the minimum when you asked me. There are times we give a lower price than the $350.00 if the job is in the neighborhood when we are there or if the customer does not mind waiting for us to come into that neighborhood with other jobs. I only gave a truthful answer when asked. Again I am sorry you felt this way.

I have hired Willis Tree Service for many years to do a lot of work for me. They have taken down many trees and done a lot of trimming. They always clean up the mess and haul it away. They show up when they are scheduled to, and do a professional job.
