Did not hire
Description of Work: I needed three trees removed from my yard. I got an estimate from American Arborists and three other tree service firms. The people giving the estimate showed up on time and were very professional and knowledgeable, and they emailed the estimate later the same day. I did not hire them because their estimate was almost double the amount of the firm that I DID hire. ($2766 verses $1450)

Description of Work: Donald and his team did an excellent job. They scheduled the work to be done over three days but only needed two and a half. The job included removing six trees, including two large Cottonwoods, an Aspen, a Willow, and an Elm, and grinding the stumps below surface. They also removed and cleaned up some volunteer brush. The yard was left clean of debris. We are very happy with the work.

Description of Work: Overall, I was pleased. Some of the limbs removed could have been cut or trimmed up a little more carefully near the trunk of the trees, but overall it was satisfactory and a good value. I was so happy they had a stump remover they could get in the back yard after the big old dying willow was taken out!

Description of Work: Trimmed about 25 mature trees that hadn't been trimmed for about 8 years, as well as a couple young fruit trees; and removed 5 trees, including a very large diameter willow that was slowly dying and losing many branches and a 2 story high dead aspen just off our patio. Included grinding down 3 of the larger trees. Work performed over 2 long days, using a 3-man crew. They did a very good job, knew the correct way to trim trees, and cleaned up pretty well afterwards. There were a lot of wood chunks left over from a big tree that got mushed into the adjacent gravel; would have been nice if they had laid a tarp here to catch all the grindings and keep the gravel cleaner, but not a big problem. I will use them again, as I trust their work and their prices are very good.

Description of Work: I HAVE A VERY LARGE WEEPING WILLOW TREE IN MY BACKYARD AND DUE TO THE DROUGHT AND THE FACT THAT I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO WATER IT, THE TOP OF THE TREE WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH WATER. THEY TRIMMED ABOUT 15FT OFF THE TOP AND TOLD ME HOW TO WATER IT AND TO MAKE SURE THAT IT GETS WATER EVEN IN THE WINTER. IT IS NOW BETTER LOOKING AND IT'S GETTING THE PROPER CARE.

Hello [Member name removed]- I am sorry for the delayed response to your feedback. Thank you for the review. I am glad to hear that your mature willow is doing better. Its quite hard to keep the vegetation happy in our desert environment. It is always a sad day to remove a big awesome tree like yours. Please let us know if you are concerned with your tree in the future we would gladly come by to see if we can help. Thank you.

We worked with Jon, including meeting him to select the trees and, as a certified arborist, Jon was helpful in selecting well formed trees. The job was an all day job because deep holes had to be dug for the trees, not easy in Nevada's clay packed soil, and the stump had to be ground down several inches to allow sod to be placed on top, another time consuming job. Jon was very professional as were the three member crew that did the work. There was a misunderstanding regarding what we wanted on the stump removal but this was promptly remedied to our complete satisfaction. They left the yard in pristine condition, including anchoring the trees and placing mulch around them - looks great! The price was quite reasonable based on two other estimates we had gotten for the work.
Description of Work: Planting of three 2" diameter crabapple trees and removal of a very large stump.

I spent $165on that service. My neighbor had them doing some work, so I stopped by and one of the guys came over and looked at what I had and what they could do with my trees. We agreed on the price, but they also gave me $50 off because they were already in the neighborhood. I would tell others that they did a fine job and they were very courteous. A week or days after they did the work, they sent me a bill and everything went fine. If they hadn?t taken the $50 off, I don?t think I would have had it done.
Description of Work: I used American Arborists Ltd probably on the 8th of February and they trimmed two front trees.

We called the company after we found them on google. The next day someone came out and gave us an estimate. We also called another company to compare prices and quality, and we felt the most comfortable with this company. So, we called them back and they scheduled the job within one week. A certified arborist was on-hand to answer any and all questions that I had, which was very reassuring. The job was completed quickly, we paid our dues, and they were on their way.
Description of Work: The company came to my property and removed some dead trees, as well as carefully pruned a few others. We are very pleased with their work and will be using them again.

They came out in the morning, gave me the estimate and told me they could do the job that day! They came by while I was at work, performed the job and were very careful as the stump was right next to my house. I was impressed with the care they showed in the job and the speed at which they did it. I will use them again in the future!

I received a prompt estimate that was modestly below another bid. We set a date for work for while I was gone on vacation. When we arrived home, the work was excellently performed and the bill was awaiting right where we agreed to leave it.

We had a large cottonwood leaning over the patio, aimed at the middle of the house. It was developing crown root disease, and starting to move around in the wind. We found out much later that its roots had also caused extensive damaged to the patio and an area of the basement slab floor more than sixty feet from the tree. It went very well, and they were careful to keep collateral damage to a minimum. We knew it was impossible to remove without some damage, unless we hired a huge crane to lift it out over the house. They were thorough in their estimate of how much and where the damage would occur, which we agreed to in advance. Since that removal they have called back twice to see if there were any further problems, and to discuss means of preventing future root incursions from the remaining trees in our yard. UPDATE I'd like to make it clear that the potential for any damage was very high, and we were quite amazed with how little impact their removal of tons of tree had on the area around it. We discussed this aspect thoroughly beforehand. We weren't disappointed. If I could add a plus sign to their A rated professionalism I would.
Description of Work: Removed a large cottonwood tree in a tough location, with minimum collateral damage. We knew it was impossible to remove without some. They were careful to keep it to a minimum. The crew did it quickly, without a lot of fuss, removed the branches and smaller limbs that we asked them to, and left us the larger rounds for our fireplace. They also removed a couple of stumps of some old willow trees at the same time.
