I paid $400 for the big tree and $100 for a small tree. I liked that the guy came right away because my tree was falling down and he was able to come out the next day; so I liked that he was available. There were a couple of issues with the company. Two guys who came out didn't wear a helmet and that bothered me since they were cutting down a big tree. They also didn't guide the tree in a way that when the tree came down, it actually crashed into a healthy tree and broke off a number of branches on that good healthy tree. The guy then said he would come back and cut down the broken branches with his big truck, but he never did, even after I called him back. So, I wasn't happy about that. The only good thing I found was that they came quickly because I was hoping to find somebody soon as I was concerned about my tree falling on the neighbors walking by. If they come back someday soon, I might change my mind. I gave them a hefty tip too and regretted afterwards because I realized that they actually didn't come back as they said they would. The price was reasonable and good, although I haven't had such an experience. The guy was really friendly and I took pictures the whole time. Their responsiveness and punctuality were both good.
Description of Work: I hired Bull City Tree Service for tree removal services.

Everything went perfectly and was completed promptly.
Description of Work: Bull City cut down and removed a dead tree that was approximately 80 feet tall and 32" circumference. The tree was in a wooded area not accessible by equipment, so all work was done by hand. The owner and his helper were very prompt, efficient and friendly. They felled the tree accurately within a few minutes so that it did not fall on other landscaping, cut it into rounds, and hauled it to their truck using wheelbarrow and hand carrying the rounds. It was amazing to watch how fast they worked. The area was clean when they finished. I was very pleased that they came to do the work the day after he gave me the estimate. I would definitely do business with Bull City Tree again!

Bill Cooley of KCs Tree Service cut the tree down by climbing it himself he accidently dropped a tree limb on to the roof and it speared into the attic,Mr Cooley agreed for me to pay him $300.00 and the roof repair man $150.00.On 12-14-11 Currie Burnette of Bull City Tree Service was contacted by me to make repairs to my yard and my neighbors yard and to pay me back the $50.00 above on his original estimate that it cost me to get the job done. He refused to do anything.
Description of Work: Currie Barnette of Bull City Tree Service gave me an estimate of $400.00 to cut down one tree and to cut into fireplace size logs. I called him on 12-5-11 to give him the job and he came to the house and looked at the tree again and said he may use his bucket truck to cut down the tree. On 12-12-11 he drove his bucket truck into my front yard and then discovered he could not reach the tree and he told me he was afraid of climbing the tree to cut it.So he said he would contact a more experienced tree service to do the job for the same price of $400.00. He got the bucket truck stuck in my front yard trying to back it out he dug 5 inch holes across my yard and my neighbors yard and left leaving his helper here.Bill Cooley of KCs Trees came by and wanted $500.00 to cut the tree down. I told him of Mr Barnettes statement to me of $400.00 to do the job. Upon further discussion Bill Cooley agreed to do the job for $450.00.

He did everything perfectly. I didn’t need firewood, so I did not ask him for the timber. I would rate him highly and would use him again in the future if necessary.
Description of Work: I used Bull City Tree Service to remove two trees that were about 65 feet high and 14 inches in diameter.

Overall, this was a positive experience. We were already in shock from the storm and the tree falling on the house. The situation just looked impossible. But after explaining to me how they would be able to remove the tree, I already felt better. Then, they showed up (with impressive looking equipment) when they said would, and just by the confidence and efficiency they demonstrated, I could tell they had done this before, many times. I felt even better. When the tree was actually off the house, and there really was no further damage, I felt better still. When they were getting ready to drive away with that awful tree on the back of the dump truck, and he handed me an invoice for the agreed upon price with no hidden charges, I thought I might hug the guy! But I gave him a tip instead. : )
Description of Work: They took a HUGE tree off my house (tornado). I couldn't see a way it could be done without tearing up other parts of the house, but the owner came in and explained to me how they could do it for LESS money than the other two companies who would not guarantee me "no further damage". Okay, not only did they take this monster tree off my house without messing up anything else - but they asked if I wanted the tree for firewood, or if I wanted it hauled away. I said hauled away, and except for the gaping hole in the house, you would never know a tree had been there! The clean up was better than I would've done myself!
