I called Brent's on Thursday and scheduled an appointment the following Tuesday for an estimate. We scheduled the work for Thursday, but they were able to come on Wednesday, a day early. The crew was very efficient; the work took 8 hours to complete. They worked very carefully around my established landscaping. (I did lose one shrub.) They cleaned up all the branches and sawdust and left my patio much cleaner than they found it! I will definitely use them again!
Description of Work: Brent's removed a very large, diseased hackberry, cleaned up other trees in yard, raising canopy. Cleaned neighbor's trees that were hanging over our roof line.

The provider re-scheduled once, but this was a minor inconvenience. All communication was professional and courteous. The provider completed the work very quickly (impressive!) and did a good job. I would use them again.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. I was happy with them. I have found someone else that was a little less expensive and did just as good of work. I did pay additional but I had them do additional work. They showed up when they were supposed to. There was something that I wasn't so happy with and they came right back out and fixed it. Overall I was happy with the quality of the service that I got. I really don't have any complaints. I would consider using them again.

I called Brents Tree Service on Jan. 30, 2014 after seeing their crews at work at 2 neighboring homes. An appointment for an estimate was scheduled for 9 a.m. the next day. Darryl, the Sales Manager, called at about 8:50 a.m. and said he was running late but agreed to arrive at 10 a.m. I appreciated the call, and Darryl arrived at about 9:45 a.m. He looked at my trees, described how his crew would work, gave me a certificate of insurance, and we agreed on the work and the price, contained in a written estimate. The work was scheduled for the morning of Feb. 3, 2014. The crew of 4 arrived at 10:15 a.m. in Feb. 3 and worked until 2:15 p.m. The trees were thinned, trimmed, and cleared away from the house as agreed. The trimmings were shredded and the ground was cleaned up. All the cuts were sealed. I was asked to inspect the work on completion, found it very satisfactory, and paid by check (credit cards are accepted). Darryl (not on the site during the work) called around 5:30 p.m. to ask if I was pleased with the work, and I said I was very satisfied and would recommend them to others. I give Brents Tree Service an A rating.

The crew arrived as scheduled and quietly went about the property trimming the overgrown Oleanders. They also pruned & lifted the canopy of a pair of oak trees and sealed the exposed cuts. Passersby can read the corner street sign now that the tree limbs no longer obstruct the signage. Everything was raked and hauled away.

Thanks you for taking the time to give us feedback on your service that was done over 2 years ago. What may be interpreted as upsell, sir, is the certified arborist giving professional advice on areas of trees that also need service in the best interest of the specific tree's health. Our apologies if you felt that you were being up-sold. In the future please reference this review for a 15% discount on any future tree services provide by us to you, sir.

The crew worked very hard for two days straight. They still left a number of areas that need to be trimmed back. In addition the trees at the back of my property were not really serviced. They are supposed to return this week to make cuts to several areas. Darryl. the salesperson, agreed these needed to be done. When we looked at one tree at the back of property he recommended its removal. I asked him why he had not recommended that up front and he said he really had not looked closely at it. He actually said it is a hazard but that was more an attempt to sell and justify the upcharge not real concern. He quoted me an additional $1100 to remove it and I thought that was extremely high given my understanding we had contracted to service all my property. He then said you can't expect me to do it for free. I pointed out I was going to pay $5000 and walked away. His attitude after that point was very huffy. He was visibly angry and I tried to calm the situation down to no avail. I had to laugh at some of the other reviews I now have read. One says if he wasn't driving a Prius he would have smoked his tires dramatically driving away from the property. I saw exactly the same thing when Darryl left. I will pay $5000 when this job is completed this week. I appreciate the value of an arborist (by the way a certified arborist works there but that person did not come to the property). But I don't need someone to get angry with me on my property and make me feel like I've wronged them because my understanding was that all my trees would be trimmed and made healthy. Spoke with Terry again today. He is their billing and collections person. The same intro. 'How did we do for you?' I told him in detail and he said he would pass it on to Mr. Brent. I did pay the bill in full but made it clear I would not be using their services again. 9-9-13 Had a certified arborist come look at the tree in question. He stated that the tree does not even have to come out. That it is old but not any jeopardy to the property or tree itself. Further he estimated that I was charged about a third too much compared to the crew he would have supervised. And the estimate clearly stated that all trees on the property were to be trimmed and my out of fence trees are noted as part of my property. Regardless of removal (which turns out to be unnecessary) all trees should have been cut and trimmed. Darryl's temper is another issue and clearly is a long term employee despite his behavior.

Thank your for your honest feeback, sir. It is unfortunate that there was a large misunderstanding with what was covered under the original estimate. We always do our best to give you an accurate estimate up front. The large pecan tree in the backyard that was later suggested that we remove was originally included in the 1st estimate as a simple cosmetic tree trim, not a complete removal. That tree was never estimated as a full tree removal during the initial consultation since there was no interest from the customer to remove it. That was the reason for us not fully inspecting it. Unfortunately we can not remove a large tree at the cost of a tree trimming and apologize for any misunderstanding. We are human beings and as a company we do make mistakes. The salesperson, Darryl, may have made a mistake but he is a good person at heart. We work with over 2000 customers per year and he has a less than 1% customer dissatisfaction rate which is tracked by our company. Our web presence is so prevalent that a large part of our customer base do leave us reviews which is something we understand is important. We hope we can have another opportunity to do work for you in the future. Either way, thank you for your business, sir.

The service was pretty good. It was not the best tree trimming job I ever had, but it has been awhile. I cannot remember many details. They were easy to work with, and I do not remember having any frustration, but I just remember that I did not feel like they were entirely thorough. I think their price was good.

Scheduling was easy and the provider was prompt. The work was done well. The total charged for the tree trimming was $325, with an additional $15 for hauling/dumping and $30 for tax. The provider deducted $225 for the Angie's List "Big Deal", leaving an additional $195 which I paid by check. It's impossible for me to estimate if I got a reduced price for the work or not, since the deal said Brent's would charge $75 for $225 worth of work. Excluding tax, they charged $390 (not including the discount), which does seem overpriced for what they did.
Description of Work: The provider removed the four lowest limbs on a small red oak. He also removed the lower portion of a limb on a large live oak, to provide roof clearance. He hauled away the wood that was removed.

The company was very responsive and did a great job. The back yard looks great and they saved my roof because they were very prompt and got the job done before a couple of storms with high wind. They also sealed areas where big branches were removed. I would recommend them.
