I had a 100 year old, 80 foot tall, Cottonwood that cracked in half during a wind storm. The tree half fell onto my other Elm and hung there. I was in desperate need to have it brought to ground before it hurt someone. American Arborist's came out within days and quoted me a price and a pretty quick date for removal. They were able to make it safe and remove the wood from a backyard that did not have room for mechanical equipment. No damage to property. it took them two days, and it was a lot of work. They really saved my butt. I had them come back in a few weeks to finnish with the Elms to make them safe and trim the other trees around my house. A great, hard working, group of guys.
Description of Work: Cut down a half fallen tree and removed the wood.

The company came out to check out one of my large 35 foot trees which had a serious pest control problem. After inspecting the tree, he took care of the problem right then without rescheduling, and the cost was very affordable.

they showed up 3 hours late. By the time they got to my house it was almost dusk, not a good time to start to trim trees. I have 3 Ash trees in my front yard, they asked me how high up I wanted them trimmed, I told them just enough so that we could mow lawn under the trees, maybe 6 feet they were cut 15 feet and now look like lolly-pops. Very dispointed. However the rest of the trees are great. They cleaned up before they left.
Description of Work: I needed 9 trees trimed.

Jon provided an estimate before the 2012 December holidays; however, for various reasons, the work could not be scheduled until the third week of January 2013. The team arrived on time, reviewed what needed to be done, and got to work. There was no time lost. When I had questions about how a tree had been thinned, those questions were answered. If I wanted more work to be done, that happened quickly and without complaint or comment. This was a great experience from beginning to end. These guys really know what they are doing and are very professional in working with customers.
Description of Work: Great tree trimming experience!

Jon came by to give us an estimate in three phases for tree care. We appreciated his promptness and professionalism. We decided to wait now until spring to proceed and have kept his information for future use.

They came right on time and gave us a good bid, plus they looked over all our other trees and made suggestions on care for them to keep them healthy. The bid was fair, and then they returned to do the job and were right on time, plus they got the work done in the time they said they would. We were very pleased and will continue to use this company for all our yearly tree service & care.
Description of Work: We had a few very large pine trees removed and had a couple new trees planted and most of our existing trees trimmed. They did a great job, we were very pleased with the service & professionalism. They really know their trees!!

We asked the person fertilizing and using insect control on our maple trees to fertilize our apple trees. He took a look at the apple trees and told us they did not need fertilizing. He said to do so might harm them. I was very impressed that he placed customer service and the well being of our trees over financial gain. Plan to use them every year!
Description of Work: I am not sure of the exact day of the service but it was in October, 2012. Fertilizer and insect control liquid was shot deep into ground around maple trees.

The staff was very professional. They arrived very close to the expected time. I was concerned on bring the tree down, as it is so close to the garage and house, but they felled the tree right onto the driveway. The crew came in, did the work and cleaned up afterward. I was impressed with the service. I wish I could add some photos to show how well they did.

Went very smooth and on schedule. Excellent work, cleanup and price. They were about 1/2 the cost of other estimates. I would hire again without getting other estimates.
Description of Work: I had 4 large trees removed from a small area that required careful removal. They did some additional work that was not part of the estimate without charge (trimmed and cleaned up some remaining trees). Employees liked their work and took pride in doing a good job.

Great!! They got here on time and worked quickly and professionally eventhough it was 100 degrees that day!! They cut up the tree into firewood size and nicely stacked it on the side of the yard.
Description of Work: They removed a large tree, cut the the trunk level to the height we wanted for a table base, had new tree planted, and pruned other tree. Jon Godman came for the estimate and was knowledgable and very professional. The crew was great and cleaned the yard after the work was done. They came in under their estimate. What a nice surprise that they were so honest and charged us for the actual work. Definitely will use the for further projects!!

Walked around property with Jon G. of American Arborists. He knew the names and features of our various trees and made re- commendations about pruning and crown clean. We found him to be very knowledgeable. He was patient with our many questions. We were given an estimate and the final price did not exceed his estimate. The crew cleaned all debris up satisfactorily. This is the second time we have had this company do work in our yard. We will definitely call them again.
Description of Work: Eleven trees: crown clean/reduction to clear neighbor's fence. Specific branches removed at our request. Crown raise on 3 trees. All debris removed. Organic pesticide applied.

I received a call from the company within a day of emailing them and asking for a quote. He came out a few days later and spent about an hour going over my wish list. He provided a written quote right on the spot. I felt the price was fair and we set a date for the work. On the day of the service they were a little late but called and said they were on the way. They arrived with three men. The work was done in about an hour, and the clean up took about that same amount of time. Two of the junipers were as tall as my two story house! The third juniper was about 4 X 5 and squared off. They removed them and the stumps, then removed the exposed roots. The trees were trimmed very nice, not to much just enough to clean them up. They also cleaned up the area taking all debris with the.
Description of Work: Removed 2 large junipers, and one medium juniper and remove the stumps. Trimmed very large maple and a medium cherry tree. Removed some exposed roots in the lawn.

These guys are fast, hardworking, polite and eager to please. They leave the area clean and neat. The perfect experience. I wish they all went that well.
Description of Work: Jonathan and his crew took out a variety of big trees that I had growing against a new home that we purchased, They took out a total of 8 trees and ground all the stumps and left the area clean. There was also some big pieces of rebar that had been used for staking that they ground down for me too. You wouldn't have even known there had been 25-30 foot trees in the area. One of the trees was a huge willow and the roots were very large and topical. They even ground those down for me.

Everything went fine. My property is in Reno but I don't live there anymore so had to do everything by phone and email. That worked fine. The tenant said they arrived when they said and took exactly 3 hours, as they said they would. I got a couple of other estimates and theirs was most competitive and they charged exactly what they estimated. I asked them to take care with my drip system and they made sure the hose that used to be around the tree did not get cut. I asked them to make sure to disturb the neighbors as little as possible and there were no complaints. My tenant emailed me a photo of the job and it looked great!
Description of Work: American Arborists removed a locust tree in my yard that had split and was dying. They also ground the stump. When they were done, there was no trace and everything was cleaned up. I was concerned about things falling in my neighbor's yard but everything was fine. There were no problems. The guys were courteous and attentive and they did a great job.

So far we are very pleased with the results, the trees look good (though not yet fully leafed-out). When they were done they left the site very clean. Their price was quite a bit less than the other bid we had and I can't imagine what more we would have gotten for the additional money.

Very happy with the service overall. I watched them remove one of the huge cottonwoods from the beginning, and you could not get me to do that! Fifty feet in the air, chunking the tree down in pieces (the only way to do it in the back yard). Wow. This appears to be a top quality firm that knows what they are doing, knows trees, and does a good job. Our job was done on three different visits, and I especially appreciated the fact that they completely cleaned the job site after every single visit. It was cleaned to the point you could not tell that there was a job in progress. Very nice. They also do tree plantings (as I discovered after talking with them). I was pleased enough with their work in tree removal that I will be contacting them at the end of the summer to make plans for planting replacement trees - trees more appropriate for our desert climate than cottonwoods. If you have serious - and especially difficult - tree work to do, I recommend this firm.
Description of Work: Removed three huge cottonwood trees in the back yard. Ground all stumps, including other stumps from previous tree removals. Trimmed and treated four European birch trees in the front. Remove all wood and debris.
