Awesome company and awesome owner! It is literally Phil who shows up (with an experienced crew) and gets to work! He has the machinery needed to get the biggest jobs done quickly and, more important, safely! He is also a stand-up guy who will not trim a tree that doesn’t need it! He took extra dying branches off one of my big trees bc they needed to be removed to keep the tree healthy, but he also explained to me why some other branches did not need to be trimmed! This is what you get when you hire a “certified arborist” who’s been doing this for almost 40 years and really knows what he’s doing. I was also a little worried about a 500 lb branch hanging over my roof… didn’t need to worry bc they removed it without any problem at all! Can’t say enough good stuff about them!
Description of Work: 50’ tree needed significant trimming (to include the removal of a very large 500 lb branch hanging directly over our new roof); and two large 30 year old ficus trees needed to be completely removed (including invasive roots and stumps).

I do not think there is any reason to have a business if you cannot hire someone to answer the phone and take messages and return calls. There are plenty of people who need jobs. We hired him years ago when he was starting out and he was delightful and did a great job (his mother was answering his business calls at that time and she also did a great job of it). It's sad that his business does not return calls or answer emails! People are waiting forever for a response when they should be calling other professionals who do not leave people hanging. After checking Angie's List reviews, I see I am one of many and should not take it personally!
Description of Work: Although I have been calling for a month and sent an email, they NEVER returned one phone call or answered my email. We need a huge tree in our yard pruned a lot plus many palms that need trimming and some other work needs to be done. I used him about 15 years ago several times while living in a nearby development and thought he did a terrific job. How do you run a business where no one answers the phone and no one calls customers back????

Phil's Expert Tree Service apparently believes that being in business means you don't return calls and provide services as advertised. Phil wasted more than a month on my time by not returning multiple calls and when I did speak with him he promised he would get back to me and NEVER DID! The only thing Phil's Expert Tree Service is expert about is telling stories about not having enough workers and never returning calls. My advice to anyone needing tree service, DON'T CALL PHIL'S TREE SERVICE. He will disrespect you as a customer like he did to me and my family. BE FORWARNED. There are plenty of other worthy providers in this market.
Description of Work: Wasted my time.

They were great. He came in with all of his equipment and men and did the job in "no time"! All of the huge stumps were removed with no damage to the sprinkler heads close by. Phil was such a pleasure to deal with, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing tree service!
Description of Work: Phil and his crew cut down three huge 30-year old mahogany street trees and ground and removed the stumps.

Description of Work: I needed to have a stump ground/removed. |Phil's tree service showed up on time, and were ready to work. |Took extreme care with the grounding process for the stump was located with in 3 feet my driveway and sprinklers. I was impressed with all the equipment and safety measures, the stump grounder was remote controlled, after the stump was grounded, another truck came in and removed all the excess debris and leveled the ground where the stump was. Phil's then cleaned up my drive way and the street. |GREAT Service From start to finish! Very Glad I choose this Company! | | |

As stated before, I went with another tree design firm.
Description of Work: He provided a reasonable estimate for the removal of several large termite infected trees - and he was nice to deal with - but because I needed new trees as well, I went with a contractor who specialized in new trees.

Finally a reliable and punctual tree service company. Phil returned each calls promptly from the time I needed a quote until the work was performed. His crew was actually hauling the the tree parts in their arms and dolly instead of dragging them on my pavers like other companies have done and I didn't even had to ask. The whole crew worked like an orchestra. They cleaned everything after. Thanks Phil.

If we had a limitless budget, Phil would be our guy! Unfortunately, we went with another company, but not without a certain level of guilt. He is very personable, funny, and was far more than just a tree-guy! My mother-in-law said, "too bad all the other contractors aren't like Bon-Phillip!" He even spoke in her native language when she seemed confused, I will recommend Phil anytime, truly a pleasure and has knowledge far beyond trees. It is so rare to meet people who love their trade and are genuinely pleasant. Kudos!
Description of Work: Phil came to our house and really spent time to understand the vast project that he may be undertaking. He is very knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions and even walking around my neighborhood to educate me on why certain things could/couldn't be done.

Steve called me back the day I called the Co. He came by later that day and gave me an estimate. They do the work in our park so I was familiar with the Co. The trucks, about 5 of them, showed up 7:30 the morning it was scheduled. I was amazed at the way everyone began to work knowing just what to do. They removed a very large royal palm, 2 tabubilia trees and cut down to arica palms to ground level on one and as close to ground level as they could on the other. I also had them trim back the branches of a large black olive tree on my neighbors lawn that encroached our property. They did excellent work, cleaned perfectly and Steve made sure I was happy with the work before I paid them. I couldn't have chosen a better tree service

I recently purchased a new home and had an eucalyptus tree in the backyard that had fallen over onto the privacy fence. I called Phil's Expert Tree Service and and someone was able to promptly come out. Due to the limited access to the tree being between the privacy fence and pool cage, it made it difficult to impossible to get any machinery to the area. In this instance I ended up just having my landscaper dig up the tree instead. I really appreciated Phil's Tree Service taking the time to come out and meet with me and would call on them again if needed.

I called them because another company didn't show up. They came the very first day I called them. The estimate was lower than the other company. I accepted and they came in the afternoon with all their equipment and did a fantastic job! I strongly recommend them because they are honest and have the right equipment for small and big jobs!
