S&A Tree Service

Santiago and his crew arrived early and removed 3 80' oak trees from our front yard. One of the trees was between the power lines running to our home and our neighbor's home, with the power lines running through the branches. They did a very professional job. We would definitely recommend them to anyone needing tree service.

Santiago returned my call promptly, visited within a day or so and provided an estimated. Work was completed within a week. All was done according to estimate. I have used S&A multiple times for tree trimming(small and large) and have always been pleased with the pricing, scheduling and quality of the work!

The jobs went fast and professional

I had some heavily wooded acerage that was densly overgrown. Vines had climbed into the trees and bushes and small trees made it impossible to get through the woods. There were also several dead trees that needed to come down. S and A Tree Service came right out and gave me a bid on clearing out the brush, removing the vines and taking down the dead trees. They were friendly and seemed capable of handling the job, said he had the equipment and manpower. The owner of S and A walked into the woods and over the property so that he could see what he would be driving his tractor into and how dense the undergrowth actually was. He said that they would be able to remove most of the undergrowth and most of the vines that had climbed into the trees, but it would require removing a lot of the smaller trees that were growing in the brush. He also agreed to take down the dead trees and leave them on the ground, because it would be very expensive to remove them from the woods. They showed up early the next morning and got right to work. There were about four men, one brush hog tractor and a large truck and trailer. They worked steadily and made a lot of progress for about half the day. In the early afternoon, the tractor began smoking and over heating. He explained to me that the large tractor he had expected to use was busy and he had to settle for a smaller, less effective tractor to do the job. It became so hot that he finally had to give up using the tractor all together. He said that if he continued to use it, the motor would burn up and he would be responsible for repairing it. So he gave up brush hogging, leaving the perimeters of the acres fairly dense with undergrowth. The workers responsible for clearing out the debris did a good job. There was a lot to remove and they worked hard to get what they could. Mid-afternoon, they did seem to get anxious to leave and I had to remind them about the trees that were supposed to be taken down. They got most of them, but when I pointed out one in particular that I was concerned about, he told me that I should let the electric company get that one, it was too close to the road. I was very displeased about that. It was a big job and I expected to pay for the hard work. I felt that the bid was fair. However, when he was not able to get right equipment for the job, it made it impossible to do the job that he promised. And the tree thing still bothers me.

Santiago and his crew did a fantastic job, as always! Overgrowth was trimmed back properly and every ounce of debris was removed. For over five years now, we have used Santiago for all our tree removal, stump grinding, tree trimming and brush hauling services and this is why: He always returns phone calls. He comes onsite to evaluate, discuss your needs and provide a quote. He keeps his appointments and honors his quotes. We highly recommend Sand A Tree Service!
