The representative showed and reviewed the area and gave us a spot on estimate for the tree removal. The job was so great that if I didn't know better I would never know that trees were ever present on the property. This company is all out professional! The crew is aware of keeping the area clean and very respectful of their surroundings. They cut, stumped grind, cleaned the area, and removed all debris. Highly recommend! We will be using them again for more yard area clean up. ** Removed trees and cleaned up the area all in one day.
Description of Work: They came out to remove 8 large pines (80'-90') from my property that were leaning and dying.

Came in at 7:30 AM sharp, went to work, I showed them the down tree at this time and they said yes they could get it too that day. Went to work in front - finished - went to the back yard, pulled my tree out of the neighbors back yard and cut the rest down. Cleaned up and were gone by 11:00 AM. My yard was clean, excellent job.
Description of Work: They cut down one huge pine tree, took down a broke pine tree, and pulled a downed tree from my yard out of my neighbors yard. They cleaned up extremely well, and are very professional and fast. All this took them 3 hours. You could not even tell they were there after they left or that there were trees in those areas. This is the second time I used them, always happy with their service.

As soon as the tree hit my house (around 6:00 pm), I began calling to find a tree service who could come help. I had had a good experience with Big Dog in the past, so they were my first choice. They came within the hour and began clearing limbs away from the house. They had to be very careful because, although the tree fell across my power line, it did not break it. I had power the entire time they worked, which was well into the night (around 10:00 pm) before they had to quit because they had done all they could until GA Power turned off our electricity. One limb was dangling precariously over my neighbor's power line, and they doggedly tried their best to get it secured before it fell. Unfortunately, it fell just as they were flinging the rope over the limb. My neighbor was upset--but when she saw the photo I had taken of the limb, she understood why they put themselves at risk to try to salvage her power. The foreman told me to notify them as soon as the power was cut off and they would be back in the daylight to finish the job. Just as promised, they returned and did a magnificent job. They were professional, courteous, and considerate of others. In some ways, I believe they went above and beyond.
Description of Work: Emergency removal of an enormous oak tree from my house, removal of hanging limbs from another tree, and clean up of debris.

EVERY THING WENT ACCORDING TO PLAN RANGING FROM OBTAINING AN ESTIMATE TO THE JOB BEING COMPLETED ON TIME AND IN A MOST SATISFACTORY MANNER.
Description of Work: I HAD SIXTEEN LARGE PINE TREES RANGING IN HEIGHT FROM 75' TO 90' IN HEIGHT WITH APPROX. 6 IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO OUR HOUSE. I CALLED ONE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND A REPRESENTATIVE WAS AT MY LOCATION THE NEXT DAY. WE SURVEYED THE JOB AND I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE THAT WAS MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THE OTHER TWO I HAD RECEIVED. I ENTERED INTO A CONTRACT WITH TIM WHEELER THAT SAME DAY. THEY CAME PROMPTLY ON MAY 23RD AND STARTED THE JOB. THEY TOOK DOWN ALL 16 TREES THAT SAME DAY AND PRACTICALLY COMPLETED THE CLEANUP. THE CREW WAS BACK THE NEXT MORNING TO GRIND THE STUMPS AND FINISH THE CLEANUP. THEY WERE COMPLETELY FINISHED AND GONE BEFORE 10 A.M. BIG DOG'S SUPERVISOR, EBEN EVANS, KEPT ME INFORMED AND ANSWERED ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS I ASKED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY CREW WORK MORE CLOSELY IN SYNC TO COMPLETE A TASK. BIG DOG STUMP AND TREE SERVICE HAS THE EQUIPMENT AND THE KNOW HOW TO HANDLE ANY TREE JOB. I WOULD NEVER CONSIDER HIRING ANYONE ELSE BUT THEM FOR ALL MY TREE NEEDS

They arrived at 7:30am as scheduled and when right to work removing the trees. They had been informed of my wife's migraine problem and were extra careful to be as quiet as possible. After about 2 hours they had removed the trees, ground the stumps and cleaned up all the debris. We were very pleased with the results.
Description of Work: They took down a cluster of 5-7 wild cherry and oak trees growing by a corner of our pool deck. One or two trees had an overhead power line going through them. They also performed stump grinding and cleaned up and hauled away all debris.

I received an estimate to have a pine tree removed from my back yard. Jason came as promised and gave me a price which was fair. I did have to call him to remind him I wanted the tree removed and he responded that he appreciated me calling and would take care of it the week of April 18. I was not home when they came to remove the tree. When I got home I noticed they had removed the tree and hauled it away. The job was done well with no trash, tree limbs or branches left and they cleaned up the area very well. Job well done.

Emailed the company via Angie's List contact form late one night. Representative (Jason) called early next morning and came out later that morning for an estimate. Did not accept the estimate right away because I wanted quotes from other companies as well. After other similar quotes I decided to go with Big Dog due to my impressions after seeing them perform other jobs in the neighborhood, also the fact that no part of the job was sub-contracted and other quotes were almost the same price. Contacted the representative and scheuled service for the following week. The job took 1.5 days, the crew showed up promptly both mornings. All anxiety I initially had was eliminated after an hour or so of watching how skilled the crew was at doing their job. The entire crew was highly skilled and professional - from the lowest laborer to the guy in charge of the crew (Tim).

This was a phenomenal service. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: After a recent storm, the top 1/3 of one of our oak trees fell into an adjoining tree, creating a precarious situation. We called out Big Dog to get an estimate on removal, and also have a few other trees removed from the property. The gentleman who performed the estimate was knowledgeable and very experienced. All in All, we had 10 trees removed from our property, and had their stumps ground. The team that came out was courteous, polite, and fast, and even made sure our trash can was picked up by the waste removal service (it was garbage day when they did this) and replaced the can next to the house. I cannot speak more highly of this company.

Impressed by how efficient the company was bringing down the tree in parts so that it fell and did not damage surrounding areas. They came out again to look at the tree when it was obvious it had to come out fast and due to the now dangerous situation did the work the following day. Even though the quote period (30 days) had passed and the removal was different, they kept to the original price.
Description of Work: Came out to give an estimate on removing a tall pine which had been struck by lightening. In the time between then and when we decided to have the work done (about 2 months) the tree deteriorated fast and it was necessary to take down the tree by climbing it rather than using machinery as originally quoted. Also, bringing in machinery would have damaged the lawn as the ground was soft from rain.

One stump was near a concrete slab so I was worried, but they did a wonderful job and didn't kill any of my plants. He was flexible. Their pricing was fair. I would use them again.
