In about 3 hours the crew removed a large cedar tree on the same day I called for an estimate. Price was very reasonable and the area was cleaned up very well. I am more than satisfied with the job. I recommend American Tree Service to anyone who wants a job done quickly, for a good price, and professionally. The crew really knew what they were doing.

The owner of the company was able to come out the same day that I called to look at the work that we wanted done and give us an estimate. He was obviously very knowledgeable and we immediately felt that we were in good hands. Once we approved the estimate, he was able to get us on the schedule immediately. His crew showed up promptly to work and did an excellent job--they were easy to work with and cleaned up well when they were through. I definitely recommend them.

On the evening of 9/5/2013 Southwest Austin was hit by a severe storm with high winds. Large tree in front yard fell on corner and roof of my house. Large trees in back fell on rear fence and neighbors fence destroying both. Upon notification of trees down I contacted Tim the night of 9/5/13 and informed him of problem he stated would have crew out first thing next morning (9/6/13) to check damage. The morning of 9/6/13 the crew arrived in morning and procceded to remove tree from roof and cut up for removal, same for trees in back yard. They worked all day 9/6/13 and part of 9/7/13 as Tim had prior committments said he would return to complete job which he did on morning of 9/9/13 clearing the fence line for fence installation. The evening of 9/9/13 I was notified that a neighbor had removed overhanging branches from a tree on the property line and had trimmed the tree to such a degree that the tree had become unbalance and in danger of falling on my roof. I alerted Tim and he said would be out on 9/10/13 to remove tree which he did. Tim's responsiveness to what was a very serious situation was truly outstanding and protected by home from additional damage
Description of Work: Removed trees fallen on roof and back fence. Cut down tree in danger of falling on house after tree service procured by neighbor cut all overhang branches causing tree to become unbalanced and dangerous.

The trees were cut back to our property line. We had asked that larger pieces of wood be set aside for seasoning as firewood with the remaining hauled off. The job was done quickly and efficiently according to our instructions. The brush and brush pile proved to be a big and dirty job. They handled this cheerfully and left little to no trace of it ever having existed. For general tree trimming that doesn't require the specialized knowledge of an arborist, they are outstanding.

Mr. Pruett came to my house on July 12th to give me an estimate for trimming my trees. Mr. Pruett is a very informative, professional person. He is also has a lot of knowledge about trees and appears to be a very hard working, likeable individual. We agreed on the work that was to be done and he quoted me a price and agreed that the trees would be trimmed on July 15th while I was at work. On Monday, July 15th, it was raining but they did do the tree work and it looked great. On Friday, I went to my side yard for the first time since the tree trimming where one of the trees had been worked on and noticed my yard light located on the side of my house had been broken. Since Mr. Pruett's crew were the only persons that had been in that area I contacted Mr. Pruett and told him about the broken light. He responded and told me he would check with his crew concerning the light and get back with me. Mr. Pruett did respond and state that he could have the light replaced with a similiar light but not the same one - the owner of the house wanted the side yard and front lights to match and told me I would have to replace both of them due to this incident. While I think Tim's crew did a good job on trimming trees, I would not hire them again because purchase of new lights is going to put me out alot of money and I just wish the crew would have been more careful when doing the job.

Tim showed up on time and was the only tree service that answered my call (I called 2 other companies the same day). He was able to come and provide an estimate the same day, and walked the yard with us. He arrived with his crew and supervised from a safe distance while they climbed and trimmed. The crew were conscientious and polite. Took about 2 - 2.5 hours for them to do the job and pick up the debris. We were very pleased.
Description of Work: We had two major tree problems. First was a limb that was in such bad shape the sun shone through it and it was about 15' up, not to mention it was between many utility lines to boot. Second was a tree that was leaning badly, toward our deck and quite close to the roof. Two other trees were also trimmed at the same time, for a total of 4 trees.

Tim came out right after I called and asked for an estimate and walked the property with me. I had about 10 trees that needed pruning and some dead wood just beyond my fence that needed clearing. He was very professional and reasonable. He set up a time for the following Monday and his crew showed up. I had to go to work and came home at lunch to check in and they were doing great. They finished all the work pretty quickly and I'm super happy with how it came out.

Responded very quickly via text and email, coordinated with my tenant, did the work quickly and did all the cleanup needed. Really great job and very competitive rate. I was very, very pleased with the work, communication, and process.
Description of Work: There are two trees in front and two larger ones in back. In the front yard, one of the trees had limbs leaning into the street at car level that needed to be cut. In the backyard the tree nearest the house had limbs that were hanging over the roof and lower limbs that were removed. The tree furthest from the house had several large dead limbs that need to be removed.

Tim came out and gave me an estimate for the proposed work. We arranged on a day for the work to be done, and then he had a cancellation and was able to come out a couple of days earlier which worked well for me. His crew is hard-working and thorough. They stacked up all of the wood and loaded it onto a trailer for removal. I am very pleased with the results and would use this company again.

I have been using the same tree service for years. Normally I get a great quote from them, but this time it was way more for a quarter of the work, so I found American Tree service on Angie's List and their quote was reasonable and had great reviews. The work was done promptly and cleaned up well. My trees actually never looked so good. I was very pleased and will use them in the future.

There was a special of $99.99 for $200.00 worth of work. The company owner came by and looked at the work and said it was in the scope of the special. The workers came and did a fairly decent job in the front yard but we had to force them to do the trees in the backyard and then they did a poor job on those. My thoughts were that I got what paid for - $100 worth of work.

I'm sorry we did not serve you well. We offered that special two years ago and it's hard to remember all the details. But since I am the owner I must take full responsibility for the crew's work. Maybe I failed to instruct the men correctly. I assume your memory is more accurate than mine since you look at your trees every day. Thank you for reporting.

This was my first experience with an Angie's List service provider. Great service from start to finish. When Tim came out to give the quote he walked me through what needed to be done to each tree. The crew arrived on time and after another quick walk-through started working. All the trees look great and after the job the yard was even cleaner than when they started! I would definately use them again.

I met with Tim Pruett, Owner, on Thursday and got an estimate. Although I did get an estimate for a few hundred dollars lower from a perfectly acceptable alternative contractor, the decision to select his company was based off of his good reviews and mostly the fact that he took the time to respond in Angie's List to any issues posted there. That extra time indicated to me that he takes any comments on his service seriously and professionally and it was worth the extra cost (plus I felt that I'd be underpaying the alternative contractor). I'm very glad we hired him and his crew for the tough work clearing out all of our fence row brush and trees. The ground was so well cleared out that we could have taken a mower back there without a problem. They were quick, professional and got the work done in the next two days after the estimate. We'd definitely hire him and his crew again.
Description of Work: We hired Tim Pruett, Owner, and his crew for clearing out overgrown trees, vegetation and dead limbs off of our back fence row. We have about an acre lot and the fence was actually buckling from the weight of the brush and dead tree limbs.

The job was done quickly; they cleaned up everything. Now it's a year later and the tree is looking good. All of the crew were Spanish speaking. It's been too long for me to remember if the foreman spoke English (I assume he did, but I speak Spanish so it didn't matter). For something as important as trimming your trees, you should probably make sure with the owner that someone on the crew speaks English pretty well so that you don't miscommunicate.
Description of Work: I had this work done with a special $200 work for $99 offer. There were about four men in the tree trimming crew. I wanted them to thin the branches of a tall young red oak that was getting much too thick and was hanging over my neighbor's drive way. They did a good job but--as I have discovered the hard way--you really need to be there while tree crews are working. I wanted a lot more thinning than they understood and I would not have been happy with the job if I had just showed the owner what I had in mind. I definitely got my money's worth.
