We are part of a community that hired Sherlock Tree to trim our palm trees. We were told that they were only pruning the palms that were touching the roofs of the homes. We spoke with the supervisor on site and told him we did NOT want them to prune our silver thatch palm trees, which are not near the house, so he marked them with yellow tape to warn the crew. Well, they came and pruned the silver thatch trees that did not need pruning anyway and now they look horrible! There was no communication between last week's supervisor and this week's supervisor! The fronds were healthy and there was no reason to cut them. If I were hiring this company privately, I would NOT!

Exceptional work. These guys know how to appropriately trim trees and they spent a long tome to do it right, selectively cutting branches, as apposed to others that just cut off the outer branches.

After requesting an estimate, Jonathan came out promptly to walk around the yard and discuss our trees. He made suggestions and answered questions with no hard sell, and offered opinions about a damaged tree we have. He really did seem knowledgeable about the many types of trees in my yard. He also was informative about trimming regulations in the County. His estimate came quickly via email. We waited a little for service, but this was because there were lightning storms for about ten days straight and then I went out of town. When I returned, the Company set up a service date very quickly. I felt the line of communication was excellent via both email and phone. Zach and his crew came promptly on the service date and reviewed the work we had contracted. I also requested some additional trees be trimmed and Zach graciously agreed to the changes, answering questions and offering ideas which I welcomed. He communicated with his office and gave us an estimate for the time of the last-minute work additions I requested. Zach accurately reflected our wishes to his crew, because all our instructions were followed to the letter. Zach consulted me when there were different options for trimming one problem tree in our yard. The crew had the appropriate equipment for the different types and sizes of trees on our property. They were efficient and professional, and operated with safety in mind. They were respectful of our privacy and property and our yard looked clean and tidy when they left. The trees were very attractively trimmed and all cuttings were gone. I think our trees are healthier and safer as a result of this work done today. We have used Sherlock Tree Company several times previously, and we will continue to use them in the future. I recommend this company highly.
Description of Work: Trimmed, thinned and lifted multiple trees on our property, including several very large and very tall trees.

My neighbor had previously hired Sherlock Tree Service and was completely satisfied. He recommended the company to me. I called and Mr. Sherlock came the next day to give me an estimate, He explained what I needed done was a relatively small job but If I did not mind waiting a few days, he had a client in my area that was scheduled for service and my trees could be taken care of that same day. This was no problem for me and I appreciated the promptness of Mr, Sherlock coming over to handle the estimate, He also gave me some good advice in regards to the care of another tree in my yard. I came home from work a few days later my, trees had been taken care and Mr. Sherlock mailed me a bill a few days later that I was happy to pay, The whole experience was courteous, professional, prompt , honest and friendly.
Description of Work: I had a tee removed another cut down and an additional stump removed.

Response from Sherlock Tree Company
Dear Customer, I had responded to your review shortly after you wrote it, but I see it is still on the review site. I did go to your house shortly after we spoke. Both your cars, with out of state tags, were in The driveway. I rang the door bell several times with no answer and your cats came to the window. I walked Around back to see if you were outside and could find no one. My only mistake was assuming you would call me back when you got home. I would truly appreciate it if you would amend you review or give me a call, As you can see by my other reviews, this was an unusual circumstance. Thanking you in advance. Jim Sherlock (954) 491-7769

They were on Angie's List. They were excellent. They charged me $1000 and I have about 20 trees. I have bushes too. Some of the trees are large palms. They were very efficient and they did what they said they were going to do. I was very satisfied. They were pretty good about the cleanup and made sure that they cleaned everything. Their price was fair. I negotiated with the guy and he came down. I thought it was a fair price compared to what I have paid before.
Description of Work: I used the services of Sherlock Tree Co in the beginning of October. They did the tress and the bushes. They also removed 2 trees.

i found Sherlock Tree from Angies List. I sent them an email and they promptly called me the next day. The owner Jim, came to the house and gave us a free estimate. We scheduled them to perform the work and they actually showed up 30 min early! They were so careful when cutting the huge tree in front of my home. They shaped the tree perfectly and it looks great. You can tell that the owner (who did most of the trimming) loves his work and really knows trees. After finishing the front tree I asked them to look at several other sad looking trees in my yard, we cam to the conclusion that they had to be removed. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs a tree expert.

It went well from start to finish - a very professional group who did excellent work.
Description of Work: I called on a Friday and they came the next day (Sat.), looked at the very large Florida holly tree (Brazilian Pepper) whose roots were getting into the sewer line and faxed me a quote of $895 that was lower than the other 2 companies who took weeks to get back to me. I do not live on the property so everything was done over the phone and they were very professional and took the time to answer all of my questions. When I told them to remove it, they came the following week and that weekend when I saw the work I was very impressed - there was no mess left behind, they ground up the stump and did not damage any of the surrounding trees or area. I highly recommend them and would use them again.

Outstanding experience all the way around. Jim Sherlock came to give us a quote on trimming a neighbor's Live Oak. We talked about options and county regulations - what he could and could not do regarding the tree. Impressed with his reputation, knowledge and good nature, we hired him on the spot. A few days later Jim and his crew arrived to trim the tree. They were quick, efficient and extremely careful. After they were finished they did an excellent job cleaning up. You could not even tell they had been here. The tree is beautiful. It looks natural and healthy. We would absolutely hire Sherlock Tree Company again, and recommend you do the same.

I received an estimate within one week of contacting the company. I called to schedule the trim and they performed the service within 3 days of the call. They contacted me before their arrival and met my schedule needs. The trees look great. This is the second year I have used this company for my annual tree trim. They do a good job and clean up after their work.
