Middle Tennessee Tree Service

Description of Work: Contracted to remove 4 large trees and grind stumps.

Description of Work: trimmed all my trees

Description of Work: Called MTS and left messages for days. We got one call back, he said he would come by for an estimate. He never came by and never responded to any of our phone calls. Very unprofessional and unresponsive.

Description of Work: I had a tree that showed significant rotting at its base. Upon the recommendation of Angie's List, I called Middle Tennessee Tree Service. Eventually, they came out. They cut the tree in firewood lengths, taking care to carefully lower the wood so as not to damage other plants, fencing and buildings. The wood was stacked, other smaller branches were removed from the yard and chipped. They raked the yard and removed all waste.

Description of Work: The tree service cut down two trees that had been damaged by a storm.

Description of Work: Middle Tennessee Tree Service of Cookeville, Tennessee has done work for me three different times, in October 2008, in August 2009, and July 2010. Each time they were prompt, efficient, and reasonable. The largest job ($1,200) was removing a large dead oak tree that took three full days to complete, including grinding out the large five-foot diameter stump. Sloan Shoulders owns the company; his men climbed the tree to cut upper limbs, lowered them to the ground on ropes to prevent tearing up the sod when they fell, and cutting them into smaller logs. Part of the trunk fell into the street, blocking traffic for a few minutes until they quickly pulled it to the shoulder. They cleaned up the yard of all twigs and used a shop vac to clean up sawdust they could not pick up with shovels.

Description of Work: The upper limbs in a large oak tree beside my house had died and I was fearful that they might fall on the driveway or house. I considered removing the tree altogether, so I called Sloan Shoulders, the owner of this tree service, and he advised me to cut out the dead wood instead of taking down the whole tree. I agreed to give it a try, so the tree could possibly survive a few more years and maybe continue to provide shade to the yard. He gave me an estimate and a time later in the week when he could start. His men arrived at the specified time and began work. One man rode a cherry picker to reach the upper limbs. He was very careful to lower the heavy limbs by ropes so they would not damage the asphalt driveway when they fell. I asked them to cut some of the wood into 18" lengths and stack it for firewood, which they did without complaint. They used a chipper on the smaller limbs, and they placed the larger limbs into their truck. They completed the job and raked up all of the twigs and leaves, then they blew the sawdust off the drive into a pile and removed it. The job took about six hours and I was completely satisfied with their efficient work, their cheerful attitude, and the reasonable price.
