My husband and I highly recommend this company because they are efficient and did a fantastic job! We had quite a few trees removed from our yard! John is very knowledgeable and quoted us a reasonable price for removal. His team is top notch and couldn't ask for a better service. We were impressed with their performance. It was a messy job and they even cleaned up after themselves! I would give extra stars for that as well. Thank you for your superior hardworking team and service. You made us happy clients and will definitely hire your company back for a future project!

The work was performed on 21 July 2020. Part of a very large hackberry tree had come down in a storm, and I decided to remove the whole tree. It was in my front yard, in a fairly tight spot. It was about 20 feet from the house, with electrical lines on the other 3 sides. The tree was at least 60 feet high, and part of it hung over the house. They got it all down with no harm to the house and only minor disturbance to the surroundings.

This is a great company. Five men showed up in the morning and then Mr. Hancock came and showed them what they were going to do. They did an excellent job of cutting and trimming the trees. They chopped up the branches and larger limbs, chopped some cedar branches that we had cut off, and they brought in a heavy truck to take out the big logs from the trunks of the trees. They were all very polite, professional and friendly. We provided lunch for them and they ate in the sunroom in the cool. They made sure their boots were clean and took off out shirts to keep from getting sawdust in the room. I would hire them again. In fact, my neighbor lady came and talked to them and they were back in about a week and took out 7 cedar trees for her. We were outside when they drove up and they got out of their trucks and waved hello. Very nice people.
Description of Work: kWe had four trees then down, 2 stumps ground out and 4 trees trimmed.

During the day, a couple of dead trees fell onto our house. We called Hancock Tree Service to have them removed. The next morning, their assessor showed as schedule, to give a quote and schedule the service. Later that afternoon, the removal crew showed up and a few hours later the trees were gone. A couple of days after that, another gentleman showed up to grind down the stumps. Everything was very professional.

I have about 2 acres with a number of large trees which needed some trimming and dead wood removal plus a bunch of stumps that needed to be removed. I called Hancock for an estimate. John came out and we walked the property and I showed him what needed to be done. Along the way he made some good suggestions. He gave me an estimate and we scheduled the work. His crew came out and cleaned up the trees, then another pro came out and removed the stumps. I recommend them for good service.

The tree was cut down on Aug 31,2018. The price was right, the crew showed up on time and the work was done. But, a limb from the tree that was being cut down fell on my roof and not only gouged a hole in my roof but busted the underlayment. I was present inside my home when the limb fell and heard the tremendous hit my roof took. When I questioned the crew they said everything was ok. I left the next day for a 8 day out of town job and it was not until I returned that I climbed on my roof and found the damage. After talking with the owner and showing him photos of my roof he said he has "some guys" to fix it. I was concerned and called several roofing companies to see what would be involved in fixing my damaged roof but before I could have a reputable roofing company inspect the damage, 2 men showed up in my driveway unannounced and began to climb on my roof. I asked them who they were and they told me they were there to fix my roof per the owner of Hancock Tree Svc. No id or company name just two guys. While they are furiously re-shingling the gouged out area, I tell them it feels like the underlayment is damaged. This doesn't faze them and they continue working. So, I climb into my attic and take additional interior photos of the underlayment damage and send to the owner. He says his tree guys said they did not damage my roof. That he is a contractor and can tell if the damage was done by his guys or not and would come out to look at my roof personally. After my calling and sending several texts, he never came and would not answer a call or return my texts. He basically ignored me and did nothing. Not only did he not have the decency to do the right thing but he essentially called me a liar. As an added insult, his company took a month to remove left over logs in my yard that I paid them to remove and after being told it would only be a week. I'm finally doing this review because even though I got burned, I would not want another unsuspecting person to be subjected to this lack of professional service. It really is a shame that Hancock Tree Svc turned out to be a dishonest and unethical company.

John Gonzalez was awesome. Called several companies and was never comfortable with their assessments. I then called several more companies (including Hancock) Hancock was the only one that agreed to come out that day. John was so friendly and honest that I booked him on the spot and canceled all other other appointments. I asked to keep some of the tree in order to make seats at my firepit and John was happy to do that. I will recommend them to everyone that asks and will definitely hire again.

It went great! The guys worked so hard it was unbelievable. The company used a bucket truck and a chipper shredder. The pine trees were topped and then the main trunks were felled. All limbs from the hardwood trees suitable for firewood were cut into 1 foot lengths where requested. Some of the trunks were cut longer for special purposes. Firewood was placed in a designated area. Good crew and company with which to deal. I will definitely call them again in the future.
Description of Work: I needed six (6) trees taken down with some of it cut into firewood lengths.

Exceptional service from Hancock Tree service!! After waiting all day for a “no show” from another tree company to arrive and clear the tree, I called Hancock Tree for an estimate. They sent someone within the hour. Not only that, they were able to perform the work that same day! A full crew arrived and completely cleared the mess leaving my yard debris free. Despite arriving at almost sundown, they completed the work same day and did not charge me extra for the after normal business hour timeframe. They were professional, friendly, efficient, and reasonably priced. We’ve used several tree companies over the years and Hancock Tree Service, by FAR, was the absolute BEST company! We’ve already hired them to do other tree work!

The owner replied promptly to my initial call, the work was done by a polite crew the next day! They threw in tree trimming for free. Everything was cleaned and tidy before they left. i paid with a check because there is a 3% charge for credit cards as is the case with many small businesses.

Called me immediately to arrange time for estimate. Arrived on time for estimate. Very thorough. Educated me about what needed to be done. Team arrived the next day on time. Completed work without incident. Cleaned up after themselves including removal of some debris that was not part of the project. Removed 3 very tall pines and one suspended branch and ground two stumps. All were very polite. Would definitely use again and recommend to others.

We needed to have a large maple tree removed, part of which was hanging over our house. So the job required considerable skill and delicacy. We got several estimates for the job; Hancock Tree Service's was not the lowest, but very close to it. John did an excellent job explaining what would be done and then checking back several times during the day to make sure all was going well. The crew arrived at the scheduled day and time and they were all very efficient and courteous. Using a crane and chain saws, they removed the large maple, section by section, without damaging the house or any of the other nearby trees. They even managed to miss a small azalea bush that was growing at the base of the stump when the last section of the trunk was felled. The crew also did some additional small jobs in the yard as a courtesy. I would certainly hire Hancock Tree Service again.

Outstanding. I called and spoke with Mr. Hancock the same day. I asked if they could provide an estimate early the next morning, and he asked "how early?" I met Philip at 6:30 am and he gave me a very detailed estimate. I agreed and we determined a date and time. They arrived on time and did the work the same day. These guys brought the right equipment to the job and their operators knew what they were doing. Because such a large tree section was still on my roof, two other tree companies told me I would need to rent a crane and remove it myself, then they would haul it off for me. Hancock used a large bucket truck and removed it in sections. I've had trees removed at several houses in my life, but none were more professional and efficient than Hancock Tree Service. I would have no hesitation in using them again. I highly recommend giving them a call.
Description of Work: Tree removal from my roof after a storm. Tree fell onto front corner of my house, broke across my roof then broke again, with the top portion of the tree hitting the rear of the house. Tree was approximately 90 feet in height. Hancock removed the section from atop my roof, the broken sections at the rear of the house, and the 36" diameter section that was leaning on my house. They cleaned up and chipped all limb sections, hauled off the larger limb and trunk sections, then cleaned up all debris with rakes and leaf blowers. Great job on clean up! They also placed and secured tarps over the damaged sections of my roof.

Great service from Hancock. We were grateful and very pleased with their work/competence/professionalism/workers.
Description of Work: Glenview Home Owners Assoc., Knoxville, TN. We had a large tree that had been undercut by water and was, frankly, dangerous and ready to fall. Hancock gave us a date for service and said they would put us to the top of their list for cancellations. They called to say they had an opening and took care of the tree the next day. We were grateful and very pleased with their work/competence/workers.
