Cliff's Tree Trimming is owned-operated by Cliff Donnelly, a certified arborist (TX 3757A) and '94 Texas A&M alumni. Cliff performs all bids and consultations himself, then does the work to insure high quality and customer satisfaction. Professional pruning of small- to medium-sized trees is his specialty. Pruning includes deadwooding, thinning, canopy-raising, structure (roof) clearance, dangerous branch removal, and more. No crews are used, and Cliff does not have the resources to remove large trees (generally greater than 24" diameter trunks).

We called Cliff and he came out the same day to give an estimate. He returned as scheduled and handled the job in a professional manner. He and his associate worked quickly and safely to remove the tree, carrying away all the trimmings. We would definitely use his service again.

Cliff asked me to text photos of my trees, since I was a bit out of his service area. He then sent me a bid, which I accepted. He was at my home at 7:15 A.M. on the appointed day, as promised. He completed the work by mid-afternoon. He raised the canopies on quite a few young Live Oaks, a couple of Red Oaks, and shaped a Crepe Myrtle and Holly. Everything was done very neatly and the clean-up was perfect. The trees look great and this treatment has made my home much more attractive. Cliff is quite personable and professional. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: Trimmed about 14 trees.

I just can't say enough about Cliff. He answered and returned calls on time. Showed up for a quick look at everything and sent me a written proposal that night via email. We set up a date the following week and he showed up on time with the stump grinder and got right to work. He's a great guy to talk to and wasn't too busy to stop and chat between all the work. Not a pushy salesman or cocky contractor. Just a good guy to do business with. He even cut me a deal on hauling the brush which wasn't expected. Will definitely recommend to friends who are in need of tree services. Thanks again Cliff!!

I had Cliff out previously about removing a very massive Maple.as a certified arborist needed opinion of possible condition of Maple. He was able to give good advice about condition and at that time because one man operation stated very truthfully that it was too large for him to handle by himself. Because he did not try to pressure us on his service and knew about our trees wanted him to come out for trimming jobs. Very impressed. He arrived exactly as promised and went right to work. We have sprinkler system with upright heads,he made sure they were covered with container to save damage. All trees were correctly trimmed and away from house roof. He is picked up all cut branches and raked and blew all loose material. Request wood that was appropriate for fire to be put aside. He has done service requested. I will definitely use his services again.
Description of Work: Request tree limbs be cut back on large trees growing over house. Two trees were hanging over house. Need trimmed and excess wood removed.

Service provided as expected. Cliff was good about telling me exactly what he thought my tree trimming needs were, and not making it a bigger job than necessary. He has all the necessary equipment, in a well maintained condition, and uses them as necessary with the proper safety ethic. After the job he is detailed about clean up, the property was very tidy upon completion. His pricing was right down the middle of 3 bids that I solicited.

Went very well. Came out and we discussed condition of maple and noted our sweet gum tree and how to trim it. Would like to bring him back this fall to prune our healthy trees. Very nice.
Description of Work: Cliff returned my call and followed up the same day coming out to evaluate the condition of my very large over 10 ft around Silver Leaf Maple. Because tree was so large he stated that this tree was too large for him to handle. He was very informative and because of his training was able to give us full complete information. Of what to expect if tree was left alone.

Cliff was the only one to actually answer his phone when I called the first time. He came out a couple of days later to look at my trees. He had questions about my plans for the trees and came out again to discuss what he thought would be best. He was very flexible, and worked with me around my working schedule. He showed up when he said he would and completed all of the work the same day. He hauled every thing away. Cliff was extremely professional and pleasant. I highly recommend Cliff's Tree Trimming.

Cliff and his son arrived right on time, we had a nice talk, and even thou our yard was wet he said he thought he could perform the service. cliff was the ultimate pro he had all the right equipment and did a great job, it was a nice touch that his young teenage son , Luke was with him learning the trade,and doing his share of the work. If you want a job done right by someone you can understand and trust than cliffs tree service is what you want. The only draw back is because he is so good he might not be able to schdule you right away

Cliff and his son did a great job with tree trimming, tree removing and stump grinding on my property. Cliff takes great pride in doing the job right, and the results show. Not only did he do a wonderful job, he was also very patient and thorough in explaining all the details to me. Every question and request I had were thoughtfully answered. I really appreciated how Cliff took the time to look at every details I pointed out or asked. When he accidentally damaged my sprinkler line while stump grinding (damage was minor, and I understand it's pretty common occurrence with stump grinders), Cliff was quick to apologize for the damage and immediately took the responsibility of repairing it for me. When the job was done, my property was completely cleaned with no branches or leaves left behind. Cliff and his son raked up everything and left all the mulch in neat piles. Honest, punctual, professional, thorough, courteous... all around a very pleasant experience working with Cliff. If I could give an A+ on Angie's List, I would do so for Cliff's Tree Trimming. Will definitely call on Cliff again in the future!

I called Cliff, and he came over right away. He removed the tree in record time. He and his son came over the next day to grind the stump. He cleaned everything up afterward. He's very polite, and you can depend on him to do a great job. I definitely recommend him if you have any tree problems. I will use him if I have any future problems.

Had a large limb fall during a storm. I called Cliff on a Friday morning and he was out with his son within a few hours to chop it up and haul it away. Very personable and professional. He even emailed me shortly afterwards with information on a tree we were trying to identify. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend his services!!

Wow....great service!! I called him at 10:00 on a friday and he was over to do the job within 4 hours. Can't beat that. Regarding the same job, I have called several landscape companies in the past to do the trimming and they either don't return call after they see it won't be a money maker or one actually told me the job " is to small" for them to make money. Not Cliff...he was happy to do the job and was professional, knowledgable, quick and well priced. Very pleased with the way the trees/shrubs look. Dont hesitate to use Cliff. Look no further and call him. Well for sure us him in the future.

This couldn't have gone more smoothly. I left a message with Cliff's machine. He called me back and I told him what I needed and my location. Turns out he was in the area. Cliff traveled to my house that day, gave me an estimate over the phone, and removed the trees while I was at work. I never even saw him before he removed the trees. They were gone when I got home that night. The next day, Cliff had the stumps ground down and I gave his people a check. . I never saw Cliff, and couldn't pick Cliff out of a police lineup. Luckily, I don't have to--he says what he'll do and then does it well and quickly. Buy with confidence.

Cliff did a great job He cleaned up everything, took all the debris and even raked and removed all the leaves that had fallen from the post oaks. The front and back yard looked great. He was punctual, professional and friendly. I would certainly use him again.
Description of Work: Cliff pruned 3 post oaks by raising canopy, providing roof clearance and removing all deadwood. He trimmed and shaped about 25 shrubs (some shrubs were about 10 ft tall ) back to 4 ft tall. He also trimmed back 50 ft of photonias that had grown over the fence . Trimmed 6 crepe myrtles and cut down to ground 3 crepe myrles we no longer wanted.

I didn't happen to need his services this time, but I will not hesitate to call Cliff's Tree Trimming if I do need to either trim or remove a tree. I am very pleased with my experience with this company.
Description of Work: There are two oak trees in my front yard. The yard is terraced, so I was concerned that the roots of each tree might damage the retaining walls below them. I made an appointment to have Cliff come out and take a look, for which he not only arrived promptly, but also texted ahead of time to let me know when to expect him. He was extremely professional and courteous, and not only identified the species of oak tree in my yard, but also gave me a few tips and, perhaps most importantly, told me when I asked a question outside his area of expertise. He assured me that I don't have to worry about the trees damaging the retaining walls for several years and, when I asked, recommended someone to come talk with me about proper care of the trees.
