I got 3 estimates for the work and Jerry was the first to respond with his quote. After the Angies' list discount his quote was also the lowest. I called to schedule the the service and Jerry thanked me for my business, which goes a long way for me. We scheduled for the beginning of May and he happened to have a cancellation and called me to schedule for 4/21. The tree has never looked so good. The team was prompt, my yard was clean when completed and the neighbors have complimented how the tree looks. Jerry called me the next day to see if I was happy with the service. The professionalism and workmanship was top notch. Thank you!!

Jordan is always quick to respond and takes the time to understand what we want and talk us through what is best for the various trees on our property. Really knows his stuff and is interesting to learn from him! He is very professional and his team does an incredible job and are also friendly and professional. They did extensive trimming of oaks, Bismarck palms, sabal palms, and shaved our palms. Clean up was excellent as well (not only can trimming be messy, but shaving is a whole other mess) and I appreciate Jordan, his team, and Independent Tree Service, Inc. Jordan has gone above and beyond with us and I can tell you we truly appreciate him!! We highly recommend them for any job, large or small!! We are their committed customers!

Jerry assessed our tree right after it fell over, and we were happy to find out it could be saved. We called the company back several months later, as he advised, to have the trimming done. The two young men who did the trimming were on time and did an excellent job.

This is the second time I've used Independent tree and , as usual, they did a wonderful job. They arrived on time, consulted with me as the job progressed and were professional yet friendly and helpful. I will continue to use them if/when I need more work done. I have already recommended them to friends and neighbors.

They did a wonderful and outstanding job. They treated me like I was their Mother with Love and Care. Chris and Glen trimmed and cut limbs and trees so I could see outside at night in a high crime area and now I can see outside myt home better and sleep a lot better for my security. Thank you Chris and Glen with Independent Service for an outstanding job that they went up and beyond to take care of me. I referred them to several neighbors and recommend them highly. They will ALWAYS be my number 1 tree service. They left my yard very clean and tide before they left.

This is the second time we have use Jerry's company and the service is great. Jerry came out and walked the property and left us with a quote a few weeks before the project. Scheduling was painless. They confirmed a couple of days before, arrived right on time. Kept us advised as to what was going on through the process and not only cleaned up their debris but the back yard was free of leaves when they left. The trees look great and we could be happier. They take customer service seriously and we would not use anyone else.

From the very beginning Independent was great Jordan Upcavage came out to give us the appraisal for the job we needed to have completed he was very professional and very knowledgeable about what needed to be done, the trees in the yard and how to trim the trees and keep them healthy. He gave us a quote of 1800.00 for everything we needed done which was almost half of what the other two companies I had quotes from had given me. I loved the customer service I had gotten from the begging. The day the services where to be done we couldn't be their at the begging but we where told from the begging that we did not need to be there for them to do the job I just like to be around when I am having stuff being done around my home. The team that was sent worked hard and got everything completed fairly quickly. Once they had completed the job they walked me around the house showing what was done and I was very impressed our years looks so much better with what they cut down. They cleaned up everything really well they raked the leaves up made sure all the limbs had been picked up including the small ones they also used a blower to blow all the side walks off and the room our years looked better after they left. I have nothing but good to say about Independent Tree service. I will defiantly recommend them to anyone looking for a company who does tree work.
Description of Work: We had two huge avocado tree that needed to be cut down and 4 oak tree that needed a lot of trimming done.

Jordan was very prompt in coming to give us a free estimate and was very thorough and knowledgeable about our trees. His crew arrived roughly two weeks later to do the work. They did excellent work and in our opinion went over and beyond our expectations. They cleaned up every last scrap of twigs, branches etc., going so far as to rake our front lawn to make sure no debris was left behind. We are very, very pleased that we went with this company and will certainly use them again. Thank you so much, Jordan and crew!
