A fantastic company to work with. I had two trees fall, one hit the other which then hit my house (no structural damage). Mills came out, took a look on Monday afternoon and then came back on Tuesday and completely removed everything. It was a tricky job with the one tree lying on top of the other and both being large trees and them being on my house and my fence. They did excellent clean up. They were very careful with my lawn and grass with the equipment they used and no issues. They even left me a nice little stack of logs that I could use for firewood in our outside firepit at my request. Highly recommend working with them. Friendly, professional, and quick!
Description of Work: Removal of two large trees that fell and hit my house.

They were GREAT! As soon as the crews arrived they immediately got to work and continued to work quickly, efficiently and professionally. I was amazed at the quality of the work itself and also at the incredible cleanup job they did afterwards. We will absolutely use them again.

I have an acre lot with many trees. Several trees needed pruning, and some needed to come down. They also did stump grinding, which is a big help. The crew worked together like a well-oiled machine! They did a great job, gave me some good advice, and cleaned up my yard. Thanks guys!

Went great!! Very professional, courteous... Cleaned up the area they worked in and left it better than they found it. Top notch company!! I will be using them from now on. I found this company on Angie's list because I did not know who to call. They were true to their estimate. You can believe all the good things you read about this company.
Description of Work: Removed 5 dead trees, trimmed a couple of trees and raised the ceiling over my driveway and backyard. They also pointed out a tree that I should be thinking of taking down in the near future. They said it did not need to come down now....what a breath of fresh air..no pressure!!

The bottom line is that JD Mills is an expert tree company that provides excellent service for a fair price. They bring an experienced crew of exceptional people to the job. They use a bucket truck for the high limb work and grind the waste as they go. Safety for their crew and for homeowner's property is obviously a high priority. Their crew displays amazing teamwork; everyone is always busy and they all share in whatever needs to be done. JD Mills notified me three days in advance of their arrival. Cutting one of the trees required dropping the power line to my house. JD Mills notified the power company and the line was dropped 30 minutes before the tree crew arrived. That tree was the first one cut and then they worked their way across the yard. Altogether, the job took slightly more than two days. These were large oak trees more than 40 years old, so this was not a job for amateurs. I couldn't be more pleased with both their promptness and the quality of the work. There's no doubt someone who would have undercut JD Mills price, but I doubt that anyone would have provided better overall service. They are well worth what they charge. Whenever we have tree work to be done, we will call JD Mills, and you'll be well-pleased if they do your tree work for you.
Description of Work: Cut eight very large trees, ground 6 stumps, hauled off debris.

We have used JD Mills Expert Tree Service twice this year. The first time we called, Alan went out to our house and called that afternoon and gave us a very fair price for taking out thee (3) trees in our front yard, plus grinding the stumps. When Alan and his team arrived on the morning to actually cut the trees they were courteous and professional. They were able to take out all three (3) trees with very little to no damage to our front yard. The second time we used Alan and his team they cut and removed approximately 15 trees from our back yard. Again they were courteous and professional. They showed up on time and got right to work. We will be calling on them again in the future to remove a few more trees.
Description of Work: Cut and removed approximately 18 trees from our property

Response from J D MILLS EXPERT TREE SVC
We had over 200 calls per day after the ice storm. We tried to give priority to the most urgent ones. We could not possible get all of the work looked at, even working 7 days per week! I apologize you were not gotten to and am glad you found someone to do the work. I have been in business here for over 40 years and have never been so back logged in my work. I am still about 2 months behind and we are doing the best we can to get to everyone possible. With the phone ringing day and night we didn't think to check Angie's list very often. I would like to apologize, this is not our usual way of doing business. We have just been over whelmed!!

I contacted this service well over a month ago to prune a tree that was damaged in the last ice storm. They gave me a nice quote...$350 for the job which I will say was less expensive than some of the others. They said it would be the following week when they could do the job. Two weeks go by and no one shows up. I call them and they said they were behind because of rainy weather and the fact that other customers are adding to their jobs when they show up. we have had a couple of weeks now without rain and still no one. I have called and left messages with no response. I did actually speak to someone on three different occasions....each time they tell me "I'm in the box, they should get to me this week or next." Meanwhile, it has been over a month now with know one showing up yet....they don't even have the curtesy to call me. I will not call this service again. They were cheaper than some of the others, but I guess it's true that you get what you pay for! I am very disappointed in the fact that I have waited on this service for so long when I could have already had the job done by someone else. Some of the other services that I didn't use were up front by telling me they were a month behind. I wish this service would have told me that to begin with, so I could call someone else.
Description of Work: Service never performed.

Response from J D MILLS EXPERT TREE SVC
I did tell him that we would get to his work as quickly as possible, I have about 500 work orders and can not call everyone and tell them when we will do the work. We had hoped to get this tree done quicker because we had a job not far from him, however when we were doing that job the customer added on work that took all that day and the next day! We all ready had work scheduled to do and could not find time to work this job in. I tried to explain this and we would have gotten the tree done. I was called on Thursday and asked if we could do it by Mother's Day that Sunday. I said we would try. Couldn't get it done, job was canceled. We had people that were ahead of him and it wasn't fair to them to jump him ahead. I do apologize, we had and still have a backlog of work we are doing our best to get done.

I sent a message through Angie's list on a Monday and received a phone call about 10 minutes after sending the message. They scheduled to come and quote the same afternoon. They were on-time, very friendly and helpful. I was told they had a cancellation the next day and could come out at 8:30am to start on the work. He told me exactly what would be done. Again, the team was 100% on time, did a great job, cleaned up and the price was as expected (and I felt it was very reasonable). Great customer service is often hard to find and is of great value to me. If you are looking for a company that is 1. responsive 2. on-time and 3. Does what they say they will do....look no further! I have no reservation in giving them a high recommendation.

The work that was done by the tree experts from J.D. Mills was excellent!! They were punctual, professional and very friendly. Initially, they walked the property and answered all of our questions, provided a very competitive estimate and followed through on their statement of work and estimate. To summarize, they did everything they promised they would do at the price quoted. We definitely plan to use J.D Mills in the future and would strongly recommend them to friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: They removed four trees grinding their stumps to the ground, dead wooded several tall trees, raised canopy on several other trees, trimmed a very large azalea bush and chipped a large brush pile that has been growing for the last several years.

J D Mills Tree Service did an outstanding job on our Leland Cypress trees. We must have a row of at least two dozen of these trees and they were badly in need of attention. Alan and his team handled the entire job in an exceptionally professional manner. They arrived at the agreed time and went straight to work. Every detail from start to finish was completed with nothing left undone. My trees now look the best ever in years. After the job was done I found no trace of them even being there except how much nicer my trees now looked! It's been several months now since the work was completed and I am still being asked who did such a great job! I recommend J D Mills Expert Tree Service to everyone. Thank you !! R. Caso Jamestown NC

John Was EXCELLENT! He came out, looked at how dangerous the situation with the tree was. Squeezed me in the very next day. He quote was right on target with all the other quotes I had gotten. He and his crew were on time, courteous, professional and they fully cleaned up after themselves. My backyard is difficult to navigate, they took great care not to cause any damage and worked around several power lines. One of the biggest reasons I selected him was because he used a cherry picker truck. I feel for my situation it was much safer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

JD Mills provided the best estimate by far (and very quickly) and when they did the work they did a very good job. Their communication between giving the estimate and finally getting the work done could have been better. I don't believe I ever got a final start date on the work. I just came home one day a few weeks (and a few phone calls) after receiving the estimate and the trees were gone.

The crew did a great job. They worked hard for two days to safely cut the trees down, grinded all the stumps and did an excellent job cleaning up the area. Update: We had a landscaping company come out to scrape all of the stump grindings off the soil and level the yard so that we can grow grass and have a nice backyard. The workers found about 5 stumps that were not ground. This is disappointing since we were looking forward to have a nice level back yard that would be easy to mow and safe for our kids to play on.
Description of Work: We had about 20 trees cut down and all the stumps grinded in our back yard.

I made a 5:30 appointment for a quote. Alan was right on time for that appointment. We walked around the yard together. As I pointed out what I wanted done, he took the necessary notes and was able to give me a couple of quotes on the spot. I knew a few trees had to have attention, but had considered all of them. He pointed out what would need to be done in several circumstances and how the trees should be trimmed. He assured me that they are insured and offerred to fax a copy of their insurance pages to me. The insurance companies faxed copies of the dec pages the next day. I am not a tree expert, so I have to depend on the professionals to do what they say they will do. After speaking with Alan and looking over a few other proposals, I decided to go with J.D. Mills. Called to schedule the appointment. They came out the following week to take care of all the trees. It was a beautiful job. The team was on time. They started early in the morning and worked until about 3:00. I did go by at lunch to see how things were going and spoke with the foreman who has been with the company for 30 years. I was expecting to see what I had seen before, when I had a couple of trees topped. Bare trunks and a few partial limbs. These trees were thinned out but still look like trees. We still have the shade and I don't feel that they were scalped. After checking this out on the internet and a couple of other sources, I have discovered that trees should not be topped, but the dead branches and any crowding should be cut away. It has been a learning process all the way around. It was a clean job. They brought a chipper in with them. Cleaned as they worked. You would never have known anyone had worked all day long other than the pruned trees. I feel they did an excellent job and I recommend their work.
Description of Work: One Japanese Cherry tree was taken down completely and that stump was ground. We had that tree pruned a few years ago by another company (I don't remember who) who apparently did not know what they were doing. The tree began dying out the next year. Ten mature trees were pruned. One massive oak that was there when the house was built 55 years ago, four oaks that were probably planted 50 years ago, a huge evergreen, and 4 crepe myrtles that have been around for about 40 years at least. They also ground two other stumps in the yard and trimmed the hedges around the house.
