I was very satisfied. Ryan's quote was almost exactly what I had estimated from reading the reviews on this and other tree service companies. The three men crew was polite, friendly and effective. The clean-up was near perfect: they even skimmed the pool of the branches and leaves. Now I can rest at ease knowing that those three overgrown trees won't be a threat anymore to my property or those of the neighbors during a storm or hurricane.

Southeast Texas Trees did an excellent job removing three medium sized trees. a few smaller dead trees and an old log pile from our yard left by the previous home owner. The company was very responsive in coming out for an estimate. Everyone I meant, including the people I talked to on the phone, were friendly and professional. The workers arrived on time the day of the service, worked safely and efficiently, and did an excellent job cleaning up. There was no sign they had been there except the dead trees and wood pile were gone. It was a quality job at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend their service to others. I also used an Angie's list coupon since they are a top rated service provider on Angie's List.

My experience was great. I spoke to someone when I called. I requested a quote after review of tree and got a response early in the day I was told he could make it by (2 days after my initial call). Got a quote right away. Sat on the estimate for a week or so. When I called to schedule service, the young woman who helped me on the phone found my information very quickly. They were able to schedule the removal very quickly and left almost no sign there had been a tree there before.

They were punctual, very good workers, didn't damage anything, and respected the property of the homeowner. I would hire them again, asking for another foreman though. My neighbor had them out to give a quote on trees to be removed, and they were higher than her other quote. Sometimes you pay a little more for good service which they did provide. But the expense of All Gates and lockes, etc, added considerably to the total cost for the day and work done. Also, had extra keys made for everyone who uses the gates and needs keys.
Description of Work: They climbed two trees, cut down two trees and cleaned up. The one thing that bothere me was the foreman of the crew watched me record the code to my entrance gate and while in another location taking down two trees the foreman left the workers to inspect a trailer parked in the pasture. Because of this, I called All Gates to have the code on the gate changed, went into town to get a 64.00 lock for the trailer and more chains and locks for gates on the property. The "red flags" went up for me when this happened. The company is bonded and insured, did great work, but that one worker left a bad impression.

The project went well. When Hans saw that another project was going to take longer than expected, he immediately called me to see if he needed to reschedule. I appreciated that. His crew was very professional.
Description of Work: Hans and crew removed a sweet gum tree from my front yard and ground the stump and any exposed roots. I thought they did a great job and the price was very reasonable.

Actually, this is the second time I've called STT. The first time was last year when they removed a dead tree leaning toward the house. The crew was so efficient and tidy I put put a star on their entry in my rolodex when I needed tree service. So, sadly, when a tree needed to removed and the stump ground I called STT for the second time and the experience only confirmed that they deserved that star by their name! Ryan was on the dot for the estimate appointment and he was helpful advising what tree limbs need to be trimmed and which could have an eye kept on them. He arrived with the workmen and made sure they knew exactly what Ryan and I agreed upon. And again, the crew was efficient and tidy. The STT office kept me in the loop with timeline and what I should expect. They even called to see if I had any comments or concerns.
Description of Work: Remove one tree and trim limbs of trees near house and garage.

After my initial call, they quickly made an appointment to assess the job. The quote was very reasonable and the staff friendly. They were also happy to provide estimates for a few options on performing the job. After agreeing, the tree was promptly removed with no damage to house, yard, or surrounding trees. Clean up was excellent.
Description of Work: They removed a tree that was in a tricky location close to my house and surrounded by a fence and other trees that I didn't want damaged.

They did an excellent job. The branches of the tree were over my two-storied house. It was very professional the way they did it because the tree was between my neighbor's house and my house. They did damage a window screen and they came back and fixed that. They even did another tree that needed replanting at no cost. They spread the mulch from the grinding of the tree. It was excellent service. Their price was good. It was amazing to watch how they systematically cut down the tree. They were very responsive.
Description of Work: Southeast Texas Trees came out last week and cut down a very tall old oak tree and ground it.

I was extremely pleased with the entire process working with this company. Sandy was prompt and helpful making sure we were on the same page about what I wanted done. The estimate was much more reasonable than I expected. The workers who did the work were prompt and efficient. They cleaned up everything beyond my expectations. And, much to my surprise, the supervisor on the job noticed 2 sweetgum trees were dying, removed them, and did not charge me extra. I will recommend them to everyone I know!!!
Description of Work: All of the trees in the yard were trimmed to remove dead branches, get branches away from the roof and 'uplift' from the tree trunks.

Initial appt was rained out, but was promtly rescheduled. They showed up on the new scheduled date pretty much on time and got to work fairly quickly. The entire job lasted about 5 hrs which included the workers stopping for lunch. The only complaint is that they did some damage to our driveway with their equipment as well as leaving tracks and ruts in the yard.

I reviewed reports on Angie's List and put in a request on their website. The estimator came out on the day agreed and provided the estimate of $200 to remove the tree. I did have to call the company to get the estimate and schedule, they did not call me. They were not able to schedule in the time we wanted due to an end of year contract, but came as scheduled on 1/7/09 and removed the tree. The work was well done and left few visible traces of the tree. Hollys are hardy trees, we will see if this one comes back, but for now we are quite happy with the service.

After surveying service candidates on Angie's list, picked 3 to quote. Southeast Texas Trees was the low bidder, but chose them over another company I had prior good experience with based on the reports on Angie's list. Responsiveness from the office wasn't very good. When calling the company, you always had to leave a message and then wonder if someone would return your call. Input on timing was sketchy and we felt we were "re-scheduled" twice without any explanation. However, once the work crew showed up, we gave "A's" all around. It was amazing watching the guys scale the trees, position their ropes, and then artfully cut tree segments and bring them down in a controlled manner. Five guys in 3 trucks arrived when they were supposed to once we had a confirmed schedule. I watched nearly all the work and everything was done in a systematic way - very skilled, very professional. No damage to the rest of the yard or house occurred as a result of the work and the guys did a wonderful job of cleaning up. They were in and out in 2 hours for a lot of heavy work. Another guy is yet to come to grind out the stump.
Description of Work: Remove 1 - 80 foot pine tree close to the front of the house plus top off two trees (20 ft. segments each) in the back yard - one oak damaged at the top during Ike and one sweet gum with upper, dead half leaning badly toward back fence.

Owner Sandy Kowalick and her team of tree surgeons have excellent forestry skills and plenty of experience maintaining trees in the challenging Texas environment. And they deliver with extraordinary customer service! Thanks to Southeast Texas Tree's effective recommendations on protecting trees from insects and disease, plus their professional shaping of tree crowns and pruning limbs to withstand the elements, every one of my old oak and pine trees escaped unscathed in the path of the recent Hurricane Ike. Sandy's team does exactly "what" they say they will, "when" they say they will, "how" they say they will, and at the fair and competitive price which they promise!
Description of Work: Trees on a forested acre lot were evaluated for insect and disease protection, long-term health and suitability around pending new home construction. Trees were then professionally devined, trimmed, pruned, or removed as needed and the job site cleaned.

It took about a week and a half from my initial phone call to get someone to come out and give me an estimate. But, considering this happened just two weeks after Ike, that was fast. Additionally, the owner of the subcontracted company gave me the estimate and told me he could have the crew there the next morning to do the work. Although he expected to be at our home by 7:30 a.m., the crew didn't show up until 9:30 a.m. However, once they were assembled, it only took them about 1-1/2 hours to do the entire job. The debris pile was large, and I was concerned about the grass underneath dying. But, SE Texas Trees arranged for pick-up the very next day. So, the entire job, from estimate to completion, took only 3 days. Also, the crew was very conscientious of our property. For example, they moved a bird feeder out of the way to ensure it wasn't damaged during the job.
Description of Work: SE Texas Trees actually sent a company they contracted from South Carolina to help with the clean-up we needed due to Hurricane Ike. The subcontracted company took one large elm tree down completely, and then cleaned up several large oak trees in our back yard. SE Texas Trees provided a crew to haul off the debris.

I felt that the company took good care of me right from the initial contact, Debbie's field evaluation provided a fair quotation, Javier and his crew definitely knew how to go about the work needing to be accomplished; all were pleasant and professional. It would have taken me more then a couple of months of Sundays to accomplish what four men with the right tools and a few hours did, let alone all the allergy suffering and further procrastination that I was able to avoid. There was nothing left for me to clean up or for that matter my neighbors who incidentally have complimented me on the work that was done. This is one happy customer.

They came out to give an estimate and walked the property with me to understand what we wanted done. Their crew spent most of a day onsite, removed the trees without issue and ground almost all of the stumps. I called and they came back about a week later to get the last couple of stumps and to take out a dead log that we had discussed during the walk through. They didn't trim up a few of the live trees as we discussed but did more stumps than I expected.
Description of Work: Removed four dead trees and one live tree that had some rot at the base and was leaning toward the house. Ground roughly 70 stumps.

Met Sandy when she came to the house to look at the job site and to provide an estimate. She is a very professional and friendly lady, and gave me what I believed was a very good price on the work needed. She said her crew would be out on the following Monday, and though they were 1-hour late arriving from their expected time, the crew did a wonderful job. They were quick and professional, and left the yard completely clean upon their departure. Would definitely recommend this company.
Description of Work: Hired this company to remove two oak trees from the front yard, and to uplift some low hanging branches from three other trees in the front yard.

We had a huge pine tree that had become unstable and was leaning toward our house. It was a danger to our house, power lines and our neighbors garage. Sandy promptly came to look at the tree and confirmed it had to come down as soon as possible. SE Texas Trees did the work the same week. This was our first experience with having a tree removed. We could not be more pleased with the way it was handled. The crew was very friendly, professional and pleasant. They did a very good job with the clean up and it didn't even take as long as we had expected. We had already planned to use SE Trees this fall to remove an unhealthy tree from our front yard, and install a new one for us, after it cools off. We highly recommend them to anyone that may need tree work done.
Description of Work: Cut down huge pine tree that had become unstable and ground the stump.
