It went superbly. The work on the live oak had to be done soon because we have several birds nesting in that tree annually. they adjusted their schedule so the work was done in a timely manner. the crew was highly competent and professional.

Very responsive. Came out on a Saturday the week I contacted them. Very professional, completed the work in a timely manner and made sure to clean up after the job was complete. I would highly recommend Skips to anyone looking for any tree work on their property. Not only were they easy to work with but they were much cheaper than the two other companies I received estimates from.
Description of Work: Removed oak tree including stump and surface roots. Trimmed remaining trees.

Description of Work: We bought a house in Gulf Gate that sat empty for awhile. We called Skip's Tree Service from referrals of neighbors. They came to the house on two different occasions. One to take out an old tree and trim some other trees, and another time to remove over growth and more trimming. They were on time, gave helpful advice and were fast and cleaned the areas up. It was not possible for them to get a truck into our backyard so they manually took out a large tree in such a short time. My husband and I are very impressed with Skip's Tree Service!!!
