The representative from Southland was very rushed when he arrived at my home he made it clear that Southland was too busy right then to take on any large tree removal jobs. So, he never quoted a price to me for 9 of the 10 trees, he only quoted a price of $1,500 for one tree, and he never asked me if I wanted the service. He simply left, but as he was walking away he said that there were massive amounts of trees to be removed in another state, and that he had to rush off because that was an emergency. Well, why did Southland bother to send him at all? I know this happened a few years ago, but it never left my mind because of the way I was treated. I had thousands of dollars at my disposal to spend on tree services but was treated as though I was begging to have the trees removed for free. As a result, I had to have several other trees removed from my property by a small family group. They did a great job, but they weren't insured. So, I never utilized their service again. On September 3, 2015, I had 9 of those very same trees that I wanted Southland to service removed by M&G Tree Service. Though I am not able to have the stumps removed right now, M&G did an exemplary job of removing 9 trees and trimming 4 additional trees for a reasonable price. You can barely see the stumps, and the property was left in a very neat condition.
Description of Work: An older gentleman who was a representative from Southland Tree Service came out and was very rushed. He was supposed to give me a quote for 10 trees to be removed. Instead, he looked at one very large pine and quoted me a price of $1,500 for that one tree. He didn't even take the time to quote a price on the other 9 trees.

Lee and his team were great! We had a tree fall on our house, our neighbors house and the power lines to our whole street late one saturday night after a storm. Lee had his team out there quicker than the power company. The crew worked all night and did a tremendous job cleaning everything up- even the small branches and piece parts. He was very personable and made me feel very comfortable with the whole process, if we ever have another tree issue we will use Southland again! Thanks Lee!

JT and the climber from Oxford, England worked very well together. The climber did an excellent job. They were artist at what they did. They cleaned up everything in the yard and blew off the roof. They were very professional!
Description of Work: Southland Tree Service came out to clean up a tree. I paid extra to have them climb the tree without spikes. They thinned out the tree and lowered the limbs instead of dropping them to the ground.

They were very knowledgeable and very informative. They were very responsive and very professional. They were right on time. Their price was way too high. That was the only reason we did not hire them. We will not call them in future for another quote.
Description of Work: Southland Tree Service gave us an estimate about two months ago.

There were bad hail storms all over Atlanta, and a tree had fallen on our house. I pulled out the yellow pages and there was a huge ad for Southland Tree Service. It was late in the evening, I wasn't sure if they would even answer, but Lee picked up right away. Even though it seemed like they were already really busy, they came to our house within only a few hours and got the tree off our house. I was amazed at how quickly and efficiently they moved without appearing to rush at all. They even cleaned up behind themselves, IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM. They really made me feel important and took the time to care about us. If I ever need any more tree work done, I'm calling them.
Description of Work: There was bad hail storms going through the area. Tree fell on our house. They were there ready to help within only a few hours with a crane and everything.
