CS Tree Service did a great job last summer raising the canopy of our trees. They also removed two crepe myrtles and ground out the stumps. They stand behind their work so when the stubborn crepe myrtles popped back up this year they came out and ground out the stumps again. Very professional and friendly crew.

Great. We had two very large pine trees and a couple of smaller trees removed. The largest pine was in the septic tank field, and they were able to remove it without damaging the ground . They had to pause during a thunderstorm, but stayed to finish everything. professional, respectful

Excellent service. The team arrived punctually. Did all the work required with consideration for the rest of the property, and cleaned up completely afterwards. They made sure that I came out to approve the work before they left. The price was fair and competitive . I will definitely call for my future needs.

We couldn't be more pleased with the work CS Tree Service did for us. They use a remote robotic grapple saw which is a marvel to watch in operation. They removed two large trees from our property, one right next to the house, and another deep in the backyard but that they easily reached with the boom arm from the base of our driveway. Steve and Chris and their entire crew are consummate professionals. Obviously know what they're doing and had the trees out and stumps ground in about 3 hours. Highly recommend!

Everything went great! Crew showed up on time, removed the trees, ground down the stumps, cleaned up all debris, and left the area clean. This is the second time I've used their services and never had any complaints. They're very professional and experts at what they do. I would definitely recommend them and would hire them again for any future jobs.

Crew arrived as scheduled & got their equipment set up. They were all very professional & the crane they used for all this was an amazing piece of hardware! Using the crane they were able to reach both trees without having to put the really heavy equipment on the yard; the yard got by with only light "tracking" from the loader. They cleaned up as they went along & everybody knew what they were doing; it gave the impression of a well trained, well drilled team. It was a little pricey, but, in this case, I think we got what we paid for.
Description of Work: We had two trees near the house that needed attention: a willow oak behind the patio that was dying & a red maple in the front yard that had been seriously damaged in a storm. We wanted the oak removed & the maple's damaged sections removed & the rest of the tree pruned in an attempt to save it.

They sent me a message said I was out of their service area. I'm located in downtown Apex. Their office location is in Apex.. I called, they are 2 months delayed. I assume they are auto-declining all service requests and given bogus answers because they are so backed up on work. Good luck getting service in 2020.

Good afternoon, My name is Sandra, I am the scheduling coordinator. I wanted to apologize to you, I inadvertently sent this message to you by accident. I realize you are in Apex and not above highway 85. This message should have gone to someone else. Please be assured we are not auto declining any services. I do my best to try and accommodate all requests. We strive to give top quality and timely service to all our customers. Our records indicate we performed a quote on your property June 8th. Please let us know if we can be of service to you. I apologize for any confusion regarding your scheduling. We hope to work with you on your tree project soon. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance. Best Regards Sandra

The CS team was great from the start. The estimate was thorough and gave consideration to my desire to keep trees rather than just remove for sake of ease. The team showed up right on time day of service and did a great job. Everything cleaned up fast and let me know of everything that was done during a walkthrough to make sure I understood what was completed. Nice, polite, and would happily use again!

I provided all of my information via Angie's list as well as to the person who called me repeatedly to schedule the appointment for an estimate of the work needed. I was not told at any time that leading up to the appointment time that there was an issue with my location. The morning of the appointment I receive a call from the scheduler that my home is too far north and they referred me to some other company. The scheduler rattled off the number before she could even allow me to get a pen to write down the number and seemed annoyed that I didn't know how to spell a name that isn't a common name. I would never recommend them to anyone. I'm completely disappointed and disgusted considering; I began this process nearly two weeks ago and they just determined this morning they couldn't drive here. Do not use this company.

Hi, I'm so sorry for your inconvenience. Our scheduler should have noticed your location was out of our boundaries when scheduling your consultation. We will definitely discuss this issue with her and we are taking measures to ensure this will never happen again. If you haven't found another tree service yet, Steve (the co-owner) is happy to work with you to get your project completed to your satisfaction. He will be contacting you shortly.

We are highly satisfied with the quality of work and price for our project. The owners, Chris and Steve, are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and made the process very easy for us. They provided a detailed and competitive estimate (on the low end of the other estimates we received), answered all of our questions, and were able to fit us in within the week. Perhaps best of all, they have some awesomely high-tech equipment and a great team. The process was quick, there was no damage, no mess, and we have zero complaints.

CS Tree Service was professional throughout. They gave a free quote promptly by email, which was $500 cheaper than a competitor who we had used before. The actual removal took about an hour. They were very polite, efficient, and effective. It all went like clockwork. They billed me via email with the option to pay directly via the email, which I did. Great process! I would definitely recommend them!

Next door neighbor had concern the oak may fall into his yard during a storm. Steve out came to do an evaluation- I couldn’t have been more impressed by his thoroughness, knowledge, expertises. He examined every detail of a very large tree for any possible issues (declared it healthy with no reason for concern) He did an extensive written report for us. Extremely professional- definitely “knows his stuff.” Deserves an A+!
