Fantastic job - it was very difficult because the crew had to drag up a lot of trees and branches up a steep hill. The trees they trimmed look fantastic and my home value increased many times what I paid for the trimming and removal. All of the neighbors have remarked how much better my house looks and I gave them American Tree Services name and number. Thanks Tim, Fortino and crew.
Description of Work: I recently bought a house that had become overgrown and too many trees. Tim and his crew came out to do this BIG job of cleaning up the mess I had. They removed two massive sycamores, many other non-native trees, as well as trimming many other trees that had been neglected and overgrown.

Excellent. When I called and explained what I needed, Tim came out within an hour to look at what needed to be done and give me an estimate. His crew arrived the next morning and did a great job. My trees have never looked so good. His crew sanitized their cutting tools and painted the cuts on all of the oaks. They then cleaned up and hauled off all of the cut off branches. I will definitely use American Tree Service the next time I need my trees pruned.
Description of Work: Pruned 4 large red oaks, 2 large Bur Oaks, and 2 large Cedar Elms.

They did some work for us and we were very pleased with their service. They are basically a small family owned business and they didn't give us a corporate say type thing. They just were there. It was interesting, my wife was there, I was at work and the father kept calling the son to the people to make sure they were doing the right thing. So, it was family trying to run a successful business, so we felt good about them and used them again. They were good. They came in and a lot of other people said can you take care of this and they said "Yeah sure, we can take care of that." They were very helpful. We looked at others and we think their pricing was fair. We didn't think it was high. We thought it was appropriate for the work that needed to be done and we thought it was a good value. They cleaned up, did what was asked, and everything was clean and taken care of. The trees were done in the right way and no trees have sustained any harm. They said they were gonna be here and they got here. They were here for the whole day. They were here for longer than a day. They were here after 6 or 7 pm. They had a lot to do and so it was not about being here at a certain time. They just did what they needed to do and they did the job. As soon as we called them, they came by and gave us a quote and they looked at what needed to be done and they asset and gave us a price. My wife and I talked and I said "Let's do it," We wanted it to get done quickly. In regard to response to this, it wasn't just getting a contract green. They started the next day.
Description of Work: They did tree service and other things in that arena in the yard. They cleaned the lawn and did lawn and yard work. Not redesigning the lawn, it wasn't just dealing with bushes and things and cutting trees. It was tree removal, stump removal, and things like that.

I've used American Tree Service for over a decade. They do a ""remarkable"" job! However, as the firm / staff has aged they aren't quite capable of doing the sensational job they once did (2005). Finally, the owner always quotes a price that's about 20% - 30% more than he's willing to accept. I don't like having to negotiate the price every time.

Have live oak in front with extensive trimming and moss ball removal. Really cleaned up the canopy. Also have a cedar elm and two very mature arizona ashes in the back. One of the ashes is reaching its end, but they said it was good for a few more years and cleaned it up as well as the other one, and brought the canopy on the elm up so that there was no more head- or roof-scraping.

I can't say enough about Tim and his crew of 4 men, they were on time, professional and did everything we discussed and more. He hauled off 2 huge (as in 200 pounds and more each) agaves that I had dug up that I literally was unable to move and other brush/limbs I had previously cut down. All this without any input from me during the job (I was sick in bed with a sinus infection). This is an HONEST and PROFESSIONAL company. I would rate them A++ and I will definitely use them again. Thanks Tim! And thank you Angie's List. This is the third company I have used with you and they have all been top notch.
Description of Work: Had 6 large oaks and a cedar tree extensively trimmed; and 4 medium sized trees removed.

American scheduled me for the first day after it stopped raining. The crew showed up on time and worked quickly and professionally. The yard looked great when they were done. I misunderstood how things would work initially. Shortly after the crew arrived, one worker left to take a load of yard waste from a prior job to the dump. He returned much later. I worried that I had lost some of the time I'd paid for, but it turned out that the waste from my yard would be disposed of the next day, so I'd be getting back the labor I lost in the form of a dump run later. My only suggestion for improvement would be for American to bring a chipper to the worksite. It would've been fine with me to have wood chips spread on the ground instead of hauling the waste away, and it would've saved American the dump fee too.

Thank you for the review and your comments! Now about our preferred procedure of handling brush; we have discovered it takes about the same amount of time for one person to feed the the chipper for hours or take a load to a mulching facility. Also, dry chips in a yard may be a fire hazard and some neighbors don't like the constant noise. Thanks again, Tim

They were prompt and efficient and did a very good job cleaning up the mountain of debris in my yard.
Description of Work: They trimmed some huge branches that were close to my and my neighbor's roof, and they made the tree more symmetrical because most of the heavy branches were on one side

I am extremely pleased with the results, - the trees look great. The entire yard was picked up and all the debris was removed. The whole crew (3 men) was very courteous and very professional. They showed up exactly as scheduled and we did a quick walk through. I showed them the trees to cut back and they did the rest and finished right on schedule. I would certainly hire these guys again.
Description of Work: We had several trees (10) trimmed and many dead branches cut off. The trees were fairly tall and a combination of Oak and Cedar.

Tim came out the same day I called, spent a lot of time giving us our options, and was professional and understanding about our concerns and great affection for this tree. The crew arrived right on time and was organized and began work immediately and efficiently. They did exactly what we asked. These are great guys--pleasant and easy to work with. We have used them four times in the past with the same results. The tree looks great, clean-up is spotless.
Description of Work: We have an enormous live oak tree that spreads over our front yard. We needed the drip line raised overall, dead and rubbing limbs removed, and balancing and shaping of the tree.

Tim and his crew did an amazing job. I called them and Tim was at my house within half an hour. He gave me advice about dealing with the city arborist, which was greatly appreciated. He didn't have to, but he went that extra step. He was able to point out the branches which needed trimming and by the end of the day they did an amazing job of pruning the true to look beautiful again and hauled away ALL the debris. And he was friendly and kind to boot. Great company, I highly recommend them. Price was fair and totally on par with what I expected to pay.
Description of Work: My huge oak tree, in my front lawn, dropped massive branches after rain. I needed someone to assess the tree to see if it needed any more pruning for precarious branches, and I needed someone to haul the debris, as well as clean up around the breaks.

I recently bought an older home and discovered that a large tree had a huge branch that was cracking and could fall onto the house. Tim was here that day and had workers handling the problem within two days. I was so relieved to eliminate the chance of a tree falling on my roof. Wind and thunderstorms have been hitting frequently in Austin. A month later, lightening struck two different large trees in my backyard, each falling in opposite directs onto my neighbors' roofs! Half of one tree that was hit about mid-trunk and was doing a balancing act on a smaller branch in such a threatening way that could cause a lot more damage and/or injuries should it decide to fall. I was horrified. Tim had his crew out by the next day to eliminate all danger and quickly remove an entire 40-foot broken tree plus half of the other one that was hit. He worked closely with me and the insurance adjuster to word things properly and increase the chance for coverage. The wording was a success and insurance covered $2500, the total bill. Thank you, Tim!
Description of Work: Cut down and hauled one tree and two huge branches off of two other trees, plus manicured the remaining ones in a prompt, professional manner. Was quick to respond in an emergency situation.

Tim was prompt in his appointment to view the scope of work, gave a reasonable estimate of the cost of the work, and was extremely accommodating in adjusting the work date to coordinate with the ongoing installation of our new roofing. The trees were well trimmed up, the canopies lifted to afford a better view, and the branches removed that were too close to the new roof line. Exact.y as requested. Overall -professional personnel, courteous communication, and quality work.

We were given a prompt estimate and a fair price by Mr. Pruett. The crews arrived on time, were skilled, worked hard and left the property neat and clean. All wounds on trees were painted and the tools used were sterilized to prevent oak wilt. We have been using this company for approximately 10 years and have been very pleased with the results.

They were timely, quiet, professional and left the yard clean. I moved here over 2 yrs ago; it's a heavily treed lot and the previous owner hadn't maintained his trees (ever?) American thinned out the trees, raising the canopy. I shopped his price and he was very competitive as well as knowledgeable.
Description of Work: This is the 2nd time I've used American Tree Service. I had a very, very large dead tree that they cut to the ground, 'dismembered" it and hauled off.
