This company is incredible! They are arborists, a well-oiled machine, and incredibly fun to watch. They took down trees that overhung my house and outbuildings safely and with ease. I will use them again and again!

I hired Smart Tree Service to cut down two large trees and to remove many high branches from several other trees that were growing too close to our house for a very competitive price. They had a large crew (5) and did a terrific job. They used ropes and pullies to guide the branched and tree trunks as they were cut so that none came near the house. One person climbed the trees that needed pruning and used a safety harness, which made me feel comfortable that they knew what they were doing. They cleaned up every branch and trunk and fed them into their woodchipper and loaded the larger tree trunks into their truck for removal. The owner (Gilmer) was very polite and professional and he and his crew showed up on the day that we agreed. I highly recommend them for any tree work.

The fallen tree was leaning against a tree next to it and had electric pole/wires underneath. It could knock down electric pole or hit the street if anything goes wrong. The tree cut down safely and professionally. And all other 8 trees cut down safely without damaging fence near those trees. I strongly recommend if you have any tree trimming service, especially with hard job.

They did a great job and left barely a trace. They were very accommodating, especially with all the wet weather we've been having lately. Would strongly recommend.

I rarely give 100% positive reviews but this company earned it. Gilmer the owner personally visited to give me an estimate, knew exactly what was needed, no games, no BS. I had a detailed estimate in hand 2 hours later with certificate of insurance. The crew showed up on time, with plenty of people and good equipment, did absolutely everything just as stated, left the place clean. Were polite and responsive, never an uncomfortable moment. I had several large dead trees to remove, a lot of trimming, cleanup, stump grinding on 3 acres of wooded land surrounding home and gardens, a less skilled crew could have made a mess of this, they were first class from start to finish and worth every penny. Highly recommend.

Outstanding work. Thorough, expert, responsive, prompt. Meticulous attention to detail. Cleaned up debris daily. Highly recommended. Particularly appreciated that they were meticulous in pruning lower branches, raising the canopy and helping eliminate issues with ticks.

I felt a crane was required and he didn't. I was worried about branches dropping on our chicken coop and shrubs under the tree. So I didn't hire him. His estimate was reasonable. He came when he was scheduled and gave his estimate and described how he would do the job.

Showed up on time with enough help and equipment to do the job in one day. And that's what they did. All or part of each tree (4 of them) had to be "blocked" to the ground, which is lowering each piece by ropes. Blocking is a slow process but they got all four completed in one day. They knew what they were doing. Once all the trees were down all the helpers as well as the owner started the yard cleanup. Very clean result, including sowing grass and replacing pine mulch where their Bobcat had been. Will hire them again. Fair price and a good job done in one day. Can't ask for more.

These guys did an awesome job. They arrived promptly at 8:00am and were finished by 9:15am. There was a 4 man crew that took down the tree and grinded the stump. The folks were very courteous and professional. When they finished they left my yard better then the found it. I would highly recommend this company.

Smart tree service was very professional, efficient and prompt. We got 16 stumps ground in our front yard and it is hard to imagine them ever being there. We would definitely hire them again as well as recommend them to anyone!

We had a tree split this morning and come down in our front yard. Since its currently on the market, we nedded it deal with immediately. I called Smart tree service and Mr, Santos was here at my property in a matter of minutes and in no time, had a crew and took care of it. My yard was left immaculate. I also felt the price was very reaspnable- I mean, it wa taken care of within the HOUR of the tree splitting. A+++!
