Summary: EXCELLENT! We gathered estimates from 5 or 6 companies, several listed on Angie's list. Thompson's was the lowest bid and had the highest ratings. We verified their insurance policy and took their next available appointment. Their crew was here for two days to take out the tree and another morning to grind the six-foot wide stump. Each day, the crew arrived on time, was courteous and professional, and cleaned up any saw dust and debris. (Some logs were left overnight on the first night, but they were arranged neatly by the curb.) We hired a different tree service a couple of years ago to trim the same tree. With that other service, numerous branches were dropped on our roof and we later developed a roof leak that was likely a result of the rough trimming efforts. Thompson's crew dropped nothing on our roof and took out the entire tree, not just a few branches. If only we had known that this was the proper approach, we would have fired that other service. I have rarely been excited about writing a check this large, but I was happy to write this one.
Description of Work: They removed an enormous Arizona ash and ground the stump.

Better than any other job ever done on my property. I have never experienced this level of quality. This tree was extremely close to our house. Lots of windows that could have easily been broken. Not one thing went wrong. I have a limestone patio in front of the tree - they took great care not to harm the patio either. I am still in awe. When clean up was finished it was as if the tree had not been chopped down. Literally not a mess in site.
Description of Work: Unreal. Wonderful. Fantastic. Chopped down a 30'-40' black walnut. They were friendly, extremely professional, engaged through the entire project. Decided to use some of the wood as firewood and they said "sure. what length do you want each piece cut into?". Way above and beyond the call of duty. I told them I was going to cut the stump into a chair and they said "let us do that for you". WOW!!!!!! Pretty much posting these guys to my facebook account and telling all of my neighbors about them.

One of my trees in my backyard fell down on my house landing on my roof. The tree was over 45 feet tall and was very heavy. Since this happened on a Sunday, my insurance gave me a list of tree service companies to contact to remove the tree immediately. I got on Angie's List and was very impressed with the reviews for Thompson Tree Service so I called them the next morning. I contacted them at 7:30 AM and spoke to Robbie. I explained my situation and asked if he would be available that morning and he told he would be over before 9 AM and he was right on time. He had two other men with him and they started chopping my tree from my roof and recommended that I chopped down my other trees since they were rotting away too and more than likely will fall down soon. The other 2 trees were over 45 feet tall too and they chopped them down. They worked from 9 -5. They are very precise, never once did any of the branches fell on my neighbor's yard. They removed all the debris and left my yard looking clean. Robbie is a nice man and the service was excellent!
Description of Work: Chopped down 3 Hackberry Trees that were over 45 feet tall. Remove the debris.

I have used Thompson three times previously to remove trees threatening the house. They have always done excellent work for a reasonable price. This is the first time I have had them trim my trees and I was exceptionally pleased with the quality of the work and the spotless cleanup. This is the first tree service that has not trampled the plantings and beds around the trees. I will not use anyone else for my tree work and highly recommend their services.
Description of Work: Trimmed approx 12 trees, including raising the canopies and removing a very large limb extending across the roof of my house.

We called they came at set time they trimed the tree and cleaned the yard COMPLETELY it was as if nothing had been cut..which a lot had been..and our tree..if we had picked a tree of this size to have planted this would be the tree..they are very nice and knew exactly what to do and how to do it. Great people to have do this type work.
Description of Work: we have a Spanish Oak that is so beautiful and we are very particular about it and we have had other people trim it but from now on NO ONE will touch it but Thompson Tree this tree,when you turn the corner onto our street it is just beautiful beyond words and they made it so much more than it has ever looked..just drive on Bon Air Dr. and see for yourself. Thanks Thompson!!!

They came on time when they said they would be here. They did the work and cleaned up well. There was one person here that spoke English, per my request for communication purposes. They were professional and did everything they said they were going to do. They did not let any limbs drop on the roof and I paid exactly what the estimate stated. I would recommend them to others.

Description of Work: Pruned dead branches from trees, pruned branches away from roof, removed ball moss from two trees, other minor trimming. On two side by side lots. Last year we used them to remove a large dead tree near a building.

Cecil had been a man we have used for years. Because he owned his own grinder, his costs were very affordable and cheaper than other brush grinders. He came out once a year and took care of all our branches in our compost site. He was pretty trusting and honest. I would recommend him to neighbors in the area.
