They did the work just as we had agreed, and work that had been pending for years got cleaned up and looked great. Their tree replacement met the associations requirements. And they even came back and ground down some tree stubs that had been left from smaller tree/vine removals.
Description of Work: Two large, dead palm, cutdowns. Replace one. Then total trim of all palms (about 40) followed by cleanout of overgrowths of trees and vines, etc.

I originally contacted about 5 different tree removal companies (ALL from Angie's List), only 2 replied to give me estimates. Mark Hughes from Arborist Aboard is professional and takes this business seriously, which is rare. After coming to my property and offering suggestions, he sent me a formal estimate via email, with a contract . The actual date to schedule the work was a few weeks out, but I was not in a hurry and he had alot of of other jobs, but when the date approached, he contacted me first to inquire and finalize the plan to move forward. He arrived on time, with a work crew that was professionally attired (who would ever think a crew spending hours outdoors in 95 degree heat would come over in work uniforms....even my husband was impressed and surprised this was the crew coming to do our work). I had a large diseased canary island date pineapple palm tree that needed to be removed, along with a 18 ft Washingtonia palm and heavy oak pruning along the property line as well as stump grinding x 5. All the work was done to my satisfaction and they cleaned up debris and removed all traces of the removed trees except the normal dirt mounds that were grinded. This company has professional equipment to get the job done efficiently. I would certainly recommend Arborist Aboard for any tree work. AAAAA+++

Mark was a pleasure to work with. Responds almost immediately and very professional. Did an amazing job and left my yard in better condition than before the job started. He was thorough and answered all my questions. I'd highly recommend him and of course use him for any tree service in the future!

The whole process was great, from start to finish. We called and set up a time for a free estimate and a certified arborist came out to give it. We were impressed with Marks knowledge of the trees and how attentive he was, not only to our wants, but also to what was best for the trees and our yard. After receiving our estimate we went ahead and scheduled a time to get the work done and a very professional crew showed up which we appreciated considering my wife stays at home with our children and had to be the one interacting with them. The variety of equipment that Arborist Aboard showed up with was quite empressive and in our opinion (along with the skilled workers) made a huge difference in the quality of work that was completed. We appreciated and found comfort in the fact that we didn't have to pay until the completion of work met our expectations. Thankfully not only did it meet our expectations, it exceeded them. We highly recommend Arborist Aboard if you are in need of a tree service.
Description of Work: We needed a live oak tree removed in our back yard as well as the stump ground and a fence line of melaleuca trees trimmed and cleaned up.

I spoke with 4 local arborists before hiring Arborist Aboard. After meeting with Mark it was clearly evident that he is one of the most knowledgeable arborists in the area. I like his professional approach as he clearly explains everything upfront before he is hired. His crew is professional and polite as well. It's always a plus to know that after every job they do an excellent job of cleaning up the area! I highly recommend Mark and his crew! Arborist Aboard has earned our business and we will continue to use them for future jobs!
Description of Work: I've hired Mark and his professional crew numerous times over the past 10 years. We have a rather large yard with many Oaks, Pine, and Palm trees. They removed a massive oak tree that was rotten and hanging over our house and then proceeded to grind the stump below ground level. Most recently had them remove a couple pine trees that were also leaning over our roof/house and then they proceeded to prune my 30 ft canary palm which isn't easy to access.

I have been extremely pleased with the tree work Arborist Aboard provided. They are very professional and know what they are doing. I have always found them to be priced competitively, noting the lowest price is not always a good idea when working on your trees. They arrived as scheduled with the right equipment and did an exceptional clean up when the job was done. When I need tree work, Arborist Aboard is the only number I call.
Description of Work: I have used Arborist Aboard several times over the years. They have trimmed my palms and oaks as well as removing some rather large pine trees.

The person showed up to provied a quote. He was very nice and told me that they could come in and do the work. They were the first company to provide a quote and it was for $2,150 to remove the tree and tree a few trees nearby because they were in a stress situation. I thought it was a lot but had nothing to compare. The second and third company gave us quotes that we about $600 for the same servicel. The other two companies are on Angies list as well and were certified arborists and fully insured. This company might be great, but they need to realize their quotes are not competitive.

Mark and his crew came to do the job On time, On quote, cleaned up after the job and left the place as neat as they found it. Because of what I believe was a mechanical problem with the stump grinder, the stump had to be removed a few days later. Mark did not ask for, and would not accept payment until the job was totaly done. Doing business with someone as honest and dependable as Mark Huges, and Arborist Aboard was a real pleasure.
Description of Work: We had a number of trees to be removed or trimmed.Included in this was a large Oak.

I didn?t choose them as they were very expensive. However, I understood why they were expensive. The arborist explained to me that generally they did jobs that were larger than the one that I needed to have done. He was very nice and he could recommend me to a company that dealt with small jobs if I wanted. I didn?t take his recommendation, but he was very professional. If someone had a large job to do, I would recommend this company for getting a quote. He told me that generally he didn?t come out for small jobs and that they had a baseline charting fee of over $300. The job I wanted done was too small for what they offered. I didn?t choose to take his bid as I had received other quotes as well. I would use them again if I had a bigger job to be done.

They did a good job, but I didn't feel that their cleanup was very good. I would consider using this company again in the future, but I may look at another company first.

We had a tree that had fallen and was leaning against another tree which was endangering the house. All of the trees we had removed were with in close proximity to the house. Our fence, children's toys, a car, a camper and the house were all close to the trees needing removal. Four guys showed up exactly as they had promised. They did all of the work we asked for, plus removed 2 additional trees that had snapped off. They cleaned the area very well and did much more than I expected. We had a second quote and it was more than double. All of my neighbors were impressed as well. We would definately recommend them again!
Description of Work: We had 6 huge (75-100ft) trees removed. We asked that the trees not be removed and we did not have the stumps ground becuase we were working with in a budget.

Arborist Aboard (Mark Hughs) returns calls promptly, does the tree work quickly and removes all debris. You hardly know he's there.
Description of Work: I have used Arborist Aboard on three different occasions. The first time my homeowner's insurance company ordered me to remove a camphor tree or lose my insurance. Mark Hughes got us through the permit process and red tape of removing a hard wood tree in Hillsborough County. He removed the tree promptly. The second time Mark Hughes did some tree trimming on a large tree in my back yard. He is very artistic when trimming trees and does a great job. The third time he got me through the permit process of removing a large live oak (21") planted too close to the house. He is a certified arborist and has all the right trucks and equipment.
