Description of Work: Came and took two tall dead pine trees down and ground stumps. Saved the logs for me for future wood working. Only cut to 7-7.5 feet though, so not good for normal dimensioned lumber eg. 2x4x8s. Not "A" because they let the huge hunks of log hit the ground and dig great holes in the lawn and bounce and whack the bark off another oak tree. They did refer me to Gabe Walters Specialty Tree who has a portable sawmill so you can have the wood made into lumber and we have used him since. He is an A. His crew tied the logs above and below the cut and lowered them down so the only holes in lawn were ruts from machines which they did their best to fix.

The company provided a copy of their insurance and explained in detail how the work would be performed. They removed the tree and stump so well that no one can even tell a tree was in my front yard. When finished, the supervisor recommended that I plant winter rye grass to prevent erosion and that I should consider sodding the yard in the spring. I followed the instructions and no erosion occurred. A very professional firm with quality work and honesty.
Description of Work: I had a massive 100 year old oak tree in my front yard that developed rot down the middle of the trunk. Three large limbs fell and one limb came through my roof into my foyer area. I made a decision to remove the tree and I contacted 4 tree services for quotes. One firm came by but never provided a quote. Three companies provided estimates and a couple of neighbors told me they had good experience with Big John's Tree Service, the company that provided the best quote. I contacted them and they said it would take two days to remove the tree and they would be available to do the work in 4 weeks. Exactly 4 weeks later, they came and removed the tree over a two day period and the quality and precision of the work was remarkable. I highly recommend this tree service for removal of large trees in difficult locations.

Overall a good job. I had to call them twice to get an appointment. The quote was to clear trees, grind the stumps and haul off the trees. It apprears their stump grinder broke because there were numerous stumps still on the lot.

They responded the next morning after Angie's List sent the email, and they set up an appointment for that afternoon. They came the next afternoon, as they had said, and were done in a couple of hours. The stumps were ground to the point that you couldn't even tell where they had been, and they cleaned all the other leaves and twigs out of the yard and driveway. Seriously, I'd let these people do brain surgery on me ;-)
Description of Work: They cut down two small trees (a foot in diameter) and trimmed numerous large (18 inch in diameter) branches from trees around my house. They also ground the stumps.

Everything went great. I called to see about having them come out and look the job over and someone was there in 30 minutes. He was very knowledgeable and professional, even offering his insurance information up front and encouraging me to call and check it out. He gave me a very good price on the tree removal and stump grinding, and said he'd call back in a few days to let me know when they could do it, but said it would probably be about 2 weeks. A little over a week later, he called to say they could do it the next day. I wasn't home to see the work, but I saw the result and it was excellent. The tree was gone, the stumps were gone, and everything was clean and clear. They even ground up three smaller stumps in the back yard while they were there, and didn't charge any extra for it. I would gladly use Big John's again! They were fast, friendly, did good work, and charged a really good price. Usually you only get to pick two from fast, cheap, and good, but Big John's brought all three!
Description of Work: Wanted one pine tree removed and the stump ground in the back yard, and another large stump ground in the front.

We have owned this home for nine years and have had three different companies at different times remove trees from our yard. Big John's has been the best in actually taking care of our yard by placing thick mats on the grass to protect it. The care they took in cutting and dropping the branches was very impressive and showed us how experienced they are.
Description of Work: They cut down a large dying oak tree from our side yard by first placing thick mats for protecting the yard. Then cut the branches one by one and last cut the tree in pieces. They ground the stump level with the ground and cleaned up everything.

Very professional, yet friendly from start to finish. Arrived at scheduled time for estimate and provided proof of insurance/bonding without our having to ask. Great estimate! The actual work was delayed quite a while because of issues on both sides of the contract; but we were not in any particular hurry anyway. John called on Friday to let us know they would be out on Monday to do the work. They arrived within the specified time frame and got right to work. They all worked together like a well-oiled team. They took great care to be sure that nothing dropped onto patio furniture, the propane tank, or anything else that it shouldn't have. They cleaned up even the smallest twigs and I believe they actually cleared more fallen leaves than they had created!!! They even swept the street where the chipper had been. After they left, you'd never know they had been here, except that the trees AND us were very happy. I would highly recommend Big John's Tree Service and I would not hesitate to use them again. They are now our official tree people.
Description of Work: Trimmed dead portion of a two-trunked tree, trimmed branches hanging over power/phone/cable lines, and trimmed a low-hanging branch.

As I had requested, Ken from Big John's Tree service came out promptly (just a few days after my initial call) on a Saturday morning (5/26/2012) to look over the back yard and talk to us about which trees needed to come down. At the end of that visit, we were provided with a detailed written estimate. We called Big John's Tree service several months later to look into scheduling a date for our tree removal. Some storm damage from Hurricane Isaac had filled up their schedule, but they said they estimated it would take approximately 3 week for an opening and that they would call us closer to the time they were available. They kept us posted, called to schedule a 10/09/2012 service date and confirmed that date before on 10/06. The Big John's crew arrived at 7:30am as they said they would, and they complete the job in less that 4 hours with yard fully cleared of debris from the tree removal. The entire crew was profession, efficient and courteous. The yard looked great after the work was completed, and the total for services matched their estimate despite the complications or the fact that more that 90 days between the estimate and the work had elapsed.
Description of Work: The services provided by Big John's Tree Service consisted of the following: Taking down, stump grinding and hauling off 2 maples, 1 Bradford pear, 1 large popcorn cluster, 1 overgrown wax myrtle and 1 hackberry tree in the back yard. Additionally, an old stump was ground and hauled off. Then, to add to the tree removal complexity, 1 tree had many branches around the electrical wires, and another tree had grown into both a large wooden block and a 1936 Ford front axle with leaf springs. To get the equipment in the back yard, a gate post needed to be pulled up and some small stumps pulled up from bushes we cut down.

I could not have been more pleased with the immediate response nor the quality of the work done.
Description of Work: I called Big John's on Friday afternoon around 4:30 after a large oak tree in my yard split and fell into another tree, which is the only reason it didn't fall on my neighbor's house. Ken Anderson, of Big John"s, came out and looked and called his crew back in to get the oak down before it took the other tree down and crashed onto my neighbor's. On Monday, he and his crew returned and took down both trees, ground the stumps and leveled the area, and hauled away the debris. They were incredibly efficient and did a very professional job.

I couldn't be happier with the level of professionalism and the service I received, and I will never use another company in the Jackson area to work on my trees. Thank you .
Description of Work: Had a huge Pine tree in our back flower bed right up next to a fence that had been dead for a considerable amount of time and sought several estimates to have it removed. Ken at Big John's came out right away and gave me an estimate to have it removed, and along with a written quote, he also provided proof of insurance at the time (out of all the various estimates I received, Big John's was the only company that provided this information to me up front). Ken let me know that the tree wasn't in danger of falling down right now, and as he was already booked for several weeks, he let me know that if we had any concerns that it would need to come down sooner (due to major storms, etc.) to give him a call and he'd take care of it ASAP. The tree went through several major storms over a week and a half, was doing fine, but on the 6th or 7th storm, there was some movement, so we called him, and he adjusted his schedule and was out at the house with an 8 man crew, his 2 bobcats, bucket truck and dump truck and cutting down the tree within an hour and a half:) Even though Ken let me know that damage was possible, perhaps even likely (as with any giant tree coming down), my entire family was impressed with the extreme care Ken took to prevent any damage to my lawn (massive mats were laid down anywhere the heavy machinery would be), my wooden flower bed retaining wall (which he removed and reinstalled) and my fence (ensuring to drop the limbs far enough away so that they wouldn't damage the fence by bouncing up when they hit the ground). He even came prepared with topsoil in case there were any ruts in the lawn after they were done. The end result was a tree professionally removed, no ruts (because of the extreme care they took to prevent it), and a yard that looked like no one had even been there.

The tree had gone down a few weeks prior to the work being done, I was concerned over damage to my yard from the equipment that would be needed to perform the job. They could not ensure there wouldn't be any damage, but they did make every effort to ensure minimal damage to the lawn. We had had some minor rain showers prior and Mr. Anderson called me several times before coming out to make sure the ground wasn't to wet for them to come and perform the work. The bobcat did flatten the grass, but it is already coming back.
Description of Work: Cut up and removed a tree which had up-rooted.
