Watkins Tree Service

They were really good. I found them on the Angie’s list. Their estimate was more than what I wanted to pay so they worked on it. That was nice. Overall it was good what they did. I would use them in the future.

They provided excellent work for an excellent price.

They were satisfactory. They did the work all right; but they charged plenty for it. The workmanship was fair; but it wasn't superb. They were okay. They came right on time.

I had several prices, and the were competitive with them. Very impressed with their work and clean up.

They arrived promptly with a crew of about 5 people and a truck with wood chipper. They completed the work, carried the removed limbs out to the truck and chipped them and had the work completed in about 30 minutes. The foreman asked the workers to be careful not to drag any limbs on the grass which was very wet because a hose had been inadvertently left on. They did a good job and cleaned up very well.

They were very prompt and very professional. They are really worth it. It was a pretty good deal.

The work was completed in a timely, professional manner by an excellent crew. Clean-up was thoroughly completed.

They were very good and very fairly priced. We had gotten an estimate from another company that was twice as much. The person who came out was really good. He talked about what needed to be done. The laborers did a pretty okay job. There was nothing outstanding about the work they did. We had some questions about whether or not they had done everything, and then the person who first came out came again and explained everything satisfactorily. Our experience with that person was fine. I liked him, but I don't have anything to say about the laborers.

They were excellent. The price was very good. They were very professional and very prompt. They were very knowledgeable and knew what they were doing. The crew was all good.

Very well. I would call them back and recommend them as a vendor.

It went very well overall. They are very conscientious.

We had several trees that had grown with limbs hanging over the house and rubbing the roof, plus lots of tree damage still to be removed from the ice storms the past two winters. Our lot is heavily treed so this was no easy task, and would require someone to be able to climb up in the taller trees and be able to go to the difficult spots, plus dodge the swimming pool, flower beds, and other assorted obstacles. How they managed to remove some of the limbs without damage is truly amazing. They were very careful to plan where and how limbs would fall so that they did not crush plants, flower beds or other lawn ornamentation. The owner was very courteous, and brought a large crew that completed the whole task in one day. Great thing was the cleanup, even scooping debris out of the pool, raking and blowing sawdust and leaves away. We used a different, more expensive tree service many years ago and they left a huge mess for us to clean up, so the fact that this was done with no extra work for me was a BIG plus. All crew were courteous, and a supervisor or the owner was on the site at all times. Would definitely use them again when the need arises.

Service was prompt, efficient and professional. The work was completed quickly. Clean up was excellent. I will definitely use Watkins Tress Service again and recommend them to my neighbors.

They gave me a reasonable bid and came the next week to do the work. They did a very professional job, and even came back the next day to get a dead limb they missed. Their stump grinder was amazing. It did no harm to our lawn, and ground them (3) out in about 1/2 hour total time. Overall, a very good company to do tree & stump work.

Robert the owner came to the house for an estimate, which was given in writing. the orginal job was to be, cut down and stump 3 large 30yr old elm trees. We decided that we would like to have one of the tree trunks used for a chainsaw carving, and added a stump to be ground up that had been left from another tree company who came after the ice storm. Also we added 2 other trees that needed some dead limbs to be removed. After I called and asked Robert to come and told him of the changes, He said they could be out the next day. The men that came (7 of them) were very professional, happy (some were singing). What amazed me was they were so organized. They split up and got all the work plus cleaned up the yard better then it was when they came. It took less then 2hrs. The price was adjusted before any work began from $425.00 from the original estimate to $500.00. I got my monies worth plus. I plan on calling them again in the fall to trim ALL our trees. They are my tree service for life.

We had a very tall tree that had broken onto the roof in a wind storm. We called them on Friday and they came Saturday morning. There was a crew with the appropriate equipment who took the tree down, removed the stump and hauled it all away. They were done by noon. The price was reasonable, they were courteous, and did a good job.

By far the best price I could find. I called on Thursday morning and was told I would have an estimate by the end of the day. I did not hear from them until Friday afternoon. I approved the work to be done, and was told it would be done soon, and that the company was not backed up with jobs, therefore, the work could be done soon and I would hear from them to schedule a time to do the work. I never heard from anyone. I called Saturday and left a message. I called Monday and was told the work would be done Wednesday. Around five o'clock on Wednesday, the work still was not done. I called and was told they were still planning on gettin gto my yard....didn't happen. They finally showed up on Friday and did the work. They did absolutely no clean up. I filled six, forty two gallon trash bags full of the leftover mulch. The only times I received communication from the company was to give me the estimate, and to collect their money. I understand things come up that delay work, but I would expect a reputable contractor to advise their client that such a delay would occur.

The came out within two days to give me an estimate. I agreed to have the work done and they came the next day to do the work. The only problem I had was before I got out to check on them, they had cut two lower branches off the Oak tree. While a professional might say the branches should be removed, I did not intend to have it done, and it didn't seem to be within the scope of the work outlined.

Mr. Watkins came to my home the same day I called him and gave me an estimate for the job. We have 5 large trees in front, and we have 6-8 large trees in back, plus some out-of-control crape-myrtle. He estimated the cost to trim and remove trees. He also recommended things I hadn't thought of. I couldn't believe the estimate was less than $1,000. I said to go ahead with the job, and he and his team showed up three days later and completed the entire job in one afternoon. The team actually climbed the trees to do the trimming, and they used the bucket-lift on the trees where there was access from the street. They put all of the limbs in the wood chipper, and cleared the mess away. Outstanding.

They were good. We ran into one problem where one of the branches hung over to the neighbor's yard and I had to get a written permission from the neighbor's to access their yard which we did. The only negative comment I can make is that they did not get back to me to let me know that the work has been done. The neighbor said he is going to the office and give them permission. Apparently, he had done that, but, no one got back to me to say that the job has been done and the neighbor has given the permission. So, that was the only problem I had with them. I would use them again. I think their price was reasonable for the work they did for me.

I called Watkins because of the good reports on Angie's List. When Rob came to give me an estimate I told him that I wanted as much work done as was necessary to get the trees in good shape. (I don't think that any tree work had been done in a long time). He recommended removing just one of my almost 40 trees and thoroughly trimming back the others. I was a little unhappy at the start of the job because the crew arrived somewhat later than expected, however the quality of their work more than made up for this slight inconvenience. The entire team worked very hard, and they did a great clean up job. I was really pleased with the job that they did and would definitely hire them again.

Derek one of Watkins employees came to a house that we just recently purchased on 08/28/09. He was very professional, Knowledgeable and gave sugested what would be the proper way to accomplish what we wanted done. You have to know that in the front of the house, there were three trees that had grown so big that one had branches on the roof of the entrance way, two others had grow and were right up against the house so that you could not see out the windows. Derek looked everything over gave us a quote, which we felt was very good. He left and advised that they would be able to do the job in a couple of days. However, within 2 hours, he called and advised that one of the crews had finished a job and they were in our area and wanted to know if we would like to have the job done that day. He returned and within 2-21/2 hours, they had done everything, cleaned up. They even trimed down a few bushes that were planted under the front windows. We could not have asked for more professional workmen and the excellant service they provided. We definitely will use them again should the need arise. Thank you Watkin's, you made it possible for us to actually see how nice the front of our is.

I am very pleased with the job Watkins Tree Service performed. I received a quote and was able to schedule the work for that week. Unfortunately, because of weather, they were unable to come when originally scheduled. I will use them again in the future.

They were very professional and careful about taking care of all of the details- including clean up. They were very polite and I can't recommend them highly enough.

I was not at home when they came to work on the trees, but the end result was just what I had asked for. Very pleased with the service, price and timeliness of service from the initial call for an estimate to completion of the work.
