We hired Joe and his team to remove some large, overgrown shrubs from our property. They went above and beyond, removing deep roots and grading the area upon completion. Despite the large amount of rain recently, you would never know there was large equipment in our yard to complete the job. Joe was professional, courteous, and responsive to questions. I would 100% use this company again and recommend to others.

Joe was very punctual and responsive in my request to provide a quote to remove 7 Ash trees. I thought his price was a little more than I wanted to spend, so I chose not to use his services. He was very professional and I will definitely use his services in the future.

Everything went well. The team came and went to my neighbor and asked permission to use their driveway since the tree was more accessible from the neighbors side. The team removed the tree and cleaned up well. After grinding out the stump, they filled yhe hole in and covered it which I appreciated rather than leaving a bare hole. They were courteous and a little late getting here, but the team leader called ahead to notify me of the delay. I would work with them again.

I called late in the afternoon and they came by the next morning to give an estimate. We agreed that they would do the work 2 days later on a Saturday as it was supposed to be clear weather. The crew showed up at the agreed time and started work. crew worked together in a practiced manner. All the men were courteous and polite. Work was completed timely I would definitely call them for any other tree issues and in fact my son plans to have them remove a couple of trees from his property soon. They were easy to work with and were true to their word.
Description of Work: Took down an Elm tree next to the house, a dead apple tree including grinding the stumps down, plus ground down another stump from a tree previously felled by straight lines winds. They also removed some wood from another tree and removed that debris. There were also multiple branches that we had cut down. Wood was cut fire place size and stacked where I requested it be placed plus chipped the tree branches and placed the mulch where needed. Hauled away the excess debris.

The crew arrived on time and got started right away. This was a four man crew which acted as a team in the taking down of a very large green ash tree. They were very careful in cutting and removing the limbs from the top of the tree so there was no damage to our property or that of our neighbors. After the tree was down, they used a stump grinder to take out a stump which was over 18 inches in diameter. All of the limbs, etc. plus all of the stumps shavings were removed from our property. They also trimmed two evergreen trees that had become overgrown, the limbs from which were hitting our roof and chimney, plus laying on a larger magnolia bush. All work was done to my satisfaction. This was the third time I have used this company and would recommend them to others. Their pricing is very reasonable and they do a top notch job.

Called in the AM and left a voicemail that I needed a large maple tree removed that was dead and the stump removed. Within an hour received a call back from Jason and within the next hour I received an estimate of the costs and that they could remove the tree then or schedule for another day. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet them at the house to pay the invoice, so they left an invoice in the mailbox and also called me when the services had been performed. Jason's knowledge of trees was very helpful and he explained why such a vibrant maple died suddenly. He was a privileged to work with.

I found Challenger on Angie's List. Fantastic job. I bought a house in UA that had 30years of tree overgrowth.They removed 3 large tree's inches from my back roof, overhanging my chimney and utility lines. Not a scratch, they also removed the stumps, and then moved the the back of my yard for more intricate work around my cable lanes and removed more trees.They also recommended I thin out the large tree's in my front yard in case we got another wind storm. Great advice, the limbs that fell from last Fridays storm and all missed my roof.

I noticed Challenger's Tree Service removing a stump and pruning trees at two of my neighbors homes. The company had first class looking equipment and the crews were doing an excellent job. I approached the owner Joe Shortridge and told him I had a green ash tree in my yard that had two dead limbs and if he could take a look at them and give an estimate. He immediately came over to my lawn, said the work would only take a few minutes, at a cost of $25. I told him to do it and later in the afternoon, two members of his crew walked over to our home and removed the limbs, and cleaned up the clippings. While in my yard, he also inspected the tree and said there were several other dead limbs on the tree, but did not recommend that they be removed, to wait to see what happened to the tree over the winter. I asked Shortridge for an estimate to remove the tree and ground up the stump, for possible tree removal next year. He promptly mailed me an estimate. I was impressed with Challenger's Tree Service and will definitely will call on them again for service.
Description of Work: Removed two limbs, about three inches in diameter, which were on a green ash tree about 15-20 feet from the ground.

I was very satisfied. Called Monday, left message. Got a callback within a couple hours. Joe said he could give me an estimate Tuesday morning. Estimate seemed reasonable, and friend had referred Challenger's, so I hired him. I had not checked Angie's List as is my normal way that I hire help. I checked the List after I hired him, and Challenger's would have been my choice based on his reputation on Angie's List. He showed me his insurance policy before I brought it up. Also made a point of telling me all forms of payment accepted. Offered a five percent Angie's List discount. Came out Wednesday morning, with a three man crew. All very pleasant, courteous, and professional. They know what they are doing. Spent about five hours on the job. Very careful about not damaging stuff in your yard. Stacked the wood I wanted to keep very neatly. The clean up was ABSOLUTELY SPOTLESS. Just a little sawdust here and there in the grass. Can't be helped. Three of my neighbors hired Challenger's on the spot. They put in a long day. I will use Challenger's Tree Service exclusively in the future and will strongly recommend my friends do the same.
Description of Work: 1. Removed dead ash tree (30-40 feet tall) and ground the stump. 2. Trimmed four other fairly large trees in my yard and a portion of a tree on my neighbor's property that was getting close to my roof.

I got a recommendation from Angie's list for some tree companies. They were one among the recommendations. They did a good one hour job. The price I paid was $1575. The job they did was a pretty big one. The other people that came out didn't want to mess with the concrete but these guys did it. The others didn't want to touch the concrete. Usually the tree guys don't want to deal with concrete because they're tree people. I will use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Challenger's Tree Service. I last used their services on 14th November 2011. I had a big 100 foot tree in my back yard and they cut it down. They also ground up the stump and they hauled everything away. They also had to break up some concrete to get the tree out to grind up the stump.
