All trees were removed and those that were trimmed up look great. We found one that needed a little more work, but when we called Robert he came right back and took care of it. Two sprinklers were broken during tree removal, but this was probably unavoidable because of all of the roots. Cleanup wasn't perfect, but satisfactory. Overall it was well worth the price for the amount of work that was done. We would definitely use Robert Watkins again.
Description of Work: Removed four trees and trimmed up multiple others.

Robert Watkins arrived with a gaggle of trucks and workers to trim trees. They were like a swarm of ants, and worked steady for about 1 1/2 hours. They did everything we had discussed, and several more as well. Cleaned up well and left the yard looking as well as when they arrived. I will certainly use Watkins again when I need tree work done.
Description of Work: Trimmed 3 large Oak trees of dead and live limbs as requested, and trimmed many "suckers" off Live Oak. Did several other tasks I requested which were not in his original estimate.

I called Monday July 8th for an estimate to remove an almost dead tree in thehe backyard. Derek made it out to my home Monday afternoon, and gave me a very reasonable quote. I told him I wanted to look at a couple other companies to see how they compared, no pressure - he was confident with his bid. I called Watkins on the morning of July 11th, told them I accepted their bid. They stated that they had a crew in the neighborhood, could they come by to remove the tree in the afternoon. That was acceptable. Four men showed up at 1:30 PM, the tree was down, and the entire work site was spotless by 3:30 PM. Everyone I met and spoke with at Watkins were extremely courteous, and totally professional. I could not be more satisfied in all aspects of this job, and will not hesitate to contact them in the future!

Robert Watkins and his team were very responsive to our needs. We had a large limb down in our yard that pulled the powerline out of the house. The limb was so large that it had to be removed before the power could be reconnected. Understanding the time-sensitivity of th situation, Robert was out within 3 hours of me calling him. He pulled a small crew off of another job and got the limb and dead tree removed within 3 hours and worked with both our electrician and power company to make sure that they could all work at the same time in the confined space of my backyard. The weather was bad in our area during the tree removal but Robert showed up personally to ensure that his guys got all of the limbs removed and the stump ground down and the whole filled. Excellent service and great price. Will definitely use these guys again in the future.

This was the smoothest possible experience. I called for a bid on removing a tree and a stump. Mr. Watkins came right out and gave me a bid on the tree, the stump, or both. We decided on a date , and other than being delayed a couple of hours, they were here, and in force. Spencer and his large crew of guys came in and made short work of a longstanding problem. In about an hour and a half, they made a 35 foot tall birch tree, and a 12 foot tall, 3 foot wide maple tree stump, disappear. Everything was cleaned up satisfactorily, and I am very pleased with the job. I would definately recommend them.pl
Description of Work: Removed a very dead birch tree hanging over my neighbors house. Got rid of the last of an old growth maple tree that was probably here before I was born. These guys have the stuff to do the job. Pleanty of men and equipment (bucket truck, chipper, flatbeds, the works.

Went ok. Had thought they would remove all dead wood from the trees, but apparently there is a difference between trimming a tree and taking the deadwood out of a tree. That would be my only complaint and it is negligible.

Great service. Timely and professional. I obtained several quotes from tree services professionals. Robert left me a quote on the door and when I had more questions he came out and talked with me. He pointed out some issues on a tree I was trying to save and was very straight forward. When I need other work I will definitely use Watkin's tree service again. Thanks so much!

This company was so professional and efficient. Mr. Watkins came out to give me a bid within 24 hours of my call and had it scheduled within 1 week. You can't even tell that there was any work done except for a missing tree. The crew was exceptional and fastidious. The area was cleaner after they left than when they began. I wish all companies were this easy to work with. I will definitely be hiring them again.

I cannot say enough good things about this company. I made a phone to request a bit and their response was refreshing. They cut down several trees, grinded down the stumps and cleaned the property just as promised. I would recommend this company to even my best friends.

Called Mr. Watkins on Saturday about having some work done at my house. On Monday morning he was out by 9am and reviewed the entire yard and we decided what needed to be done. I originally asked for major trimming of 6 very large trees and the removal of one Youpon Holly but was convinced that one of the Bradford Pears was going to continue to be a major problem and it was very close to the house so we decided to remove it and grind out the stump. Mr. Watkins was able to have his crew come out Monday afternoon after they finished another job. They were a little late arriving but immediately got to work on the big tree in the back yard. They worked until after 6 and then promised to come back out the next morning and finish the job. They were back by 9:15 and finished the job. They cleaned up everything and did almost no damage to my yard even though they had to cut down, cut up and grind out a very large tree in the middle of the yard. I appreciate the work that was done and would have no problem recommending them to anyone. I will use them again.
Description of Work: Had 3 Bradford Pear trees topped and trimmed. Had 1 removed completely and the stump ground out and removed. Trimmed 2 Ash trees. Removed 1 Yaupon Holly. Had a branch pile 6' x 15' x 6' high hauled off.

They arrived a little later than originally estimated and I ended up calling them. But once the crew was on site they quickly got the job done and cleaned up afterwards. The price was right and I was pleased with their work.

We needed two trees trimmed back from the house. They came out right away and gave me an estimate including the removal of one of the trees, which they recommended. We ended up just having them trimmed for now and that was fine. Workers came the next day, worked quickly and efficiently. Got rid of all brush etc. overall, very happy with experience.

I had a large willow tree in my backyard that was too close to my house and I was concerned that the roots could start running under my house so I wanted it removed. I contacted Watkins Tree Service and set up an appointment for a quote. My appointment was set up for the next day. Mr. Watkins called when he was going to be late (only 5 minutes). When he arrived I told him exactly what I wanted done. After looking at the tree and the location he gave me a quote to remove the tree, root system, grind the stump and clean up the debris. I thought the quote was reasonable so scheduled the work to be done, which he said could be done the next day. I failed to ask what time they would arrive but they arrived about 10:00am and by 3:30 they had completed the job and I was very pleased with the process and clean up job. The workers and Mr. Watkins were all very pleasant to deal with and I will definitely use them in the future and recommend them highly.

The service was good, however they were 2 hours late, they were supposed to be here at 9:00 a.m., when they were not here at 10:00 I called. Then I called again, only then did they tell me they were running late. I feel they should have called me instead of me having to call to see where they were.
