Services we offer
Residential & commercial tree trimming & removals, roof clearing, ball moss removal, & lot clearing
I've been using American Tree Service for the past 12 years, and every time has been great. This time was no exception. I have two good sized oak trees in the front yard and a huge 150 year old live oak in the back yard. They trimmed all trees, raised the canopy of the back yard tree, removed lots of ball moss, and cleared away branches from my roof. This job took 2.5 days to complete. They take precautions against oak wilt disease by sanitizing equipment and sealing the wounds on the trees.

Owner was very responsive and professional. Crew arrived on time each day and worked diligently and safely throughout the job. Quality of the work was excellent. Even with the Angie's List discount, the cost was more than we expected because the crew was unable to complete the entire job after 3 full days.

Tim Pruett and his crew are very professional and do very good work. His estimate of the time required was spot on, and if anything, he did more than originally negotiated for a fixed project fee. I will definitely use them again.

Tim & his team have been taking great care of our trees for 15 yrs. He's always so kind & knows what he's doing. We put in a new little tree last year & on this visit he tossed in it's first "trim" for free...I think he just loves trees so much he already wanted to start shaping it :) His guys are very professional & they clean up the yard sometimes better than they found it.

Tim charges $1,600 per day. He told me "two days, maybe a little more". I budgeted 3 to be safe. After 2 days, they had completed 1/3 of the trees. He told me it will be at least 3 more days to finish the work he originally said would take about 2. SO...$8,000 to complete the job. I have had certified arborists do it for half the price in half the time. And they are typically bonded. STAY AWAY.

It is certainly true our discounted rate for Angie's List is $1600.00 per day based on 3 men for 8 hours work. All my crew worked 8 hours each day. I showed up for the initial walk through and the next day to check on progress. I remember telling you as I tell everyone when we work by the day that I don't know how many days it will take,that is why we do it by the day. I recall telling you we are insured and that there is no bond available for this type work. I am truly sorry you're disappointed in our production as I am not used to getting reviews like this. Most people are pleased with our work. Sincerely, Tim

Tim came to give an estimate. The price quoted was very reasonable for the work needed. The workers came on time and worked efficiently. Half way through the job they had an emergency at another location so Tim needed all hands on deck to help out, but promised to bring the crew back to finish the job on the following Saturday. The crew came early and stayed till the job was fully and satisfactorily finished. Thanks Tim!

The owner Tim Pruett provided a prompt (same day) response. He came to the house, gave a professional assessment of the work to be done and cost estimate and told me he could have a crew available to start the next day. The crew showed up promptly the next morning and worked efficiently to complete the job on schedule. They did an excellent job and hauled away all debris and cleaned everything up satisfactorily before they left. Mr. Pruett checked on their progress several times and kept me informed. The work included removal of one mature hackberry tree, one volunteer oak and one red tip. They trimmed, removed dead branches and ball moss for one red oak, one burr oak, one pecan, one live oak and two small elms. All branches were trimmed back from the roofline. American Tree Service did an excellent job, the trees look great, healthy and rejuvenated. I would certainly hire American Tree Service in the future and have already recommended their services to other neighbors. I have attached photos showing the before and after views of my front and back yards.

American tree service was great! They showed up on time and came to the job prepared to work. I had a lot of tree work to be done and they worked tirelessly to get it all done. They cleaned up the yard perfectly and hauled off all the branches. The man that was doing the cutting knew what he was doing - he shaped the trees beautifully. They took care to seal all the places where they made cuts. I will definitely use them again!

All went well. Tim Pruett came to inspect my problem within a couple of hours. When he saw the large branch that was still hanging by a "thread", he agreed with my assessment that this was a safety issue. Tim called his crew and reassigned them to my yard. They arrived within the hour. (I had decided that I did not have the time to get additional estimates of cost.) Tim's crew came and removed the hanging branch in a very professional manner. The hanging branch was above my stone fence and wood deck. The crew was very careful to not damage the fence or the deck. They also removed the fallen branch that leaned on my home and lay on the deck. That too was removed efficiently and carefully. While the crew was removing the hanging branch, Tim and I assessed the rest of the yard to determine what else needed to be done. Several trees had large branches extending over my roof, with some of the foliage brushing the roof. We agreed that these needed trimming. Other trees throughout the yard need some additional work. I asked Tim to prioritize the work that needed to be done and estimate the cost for each level of priority. He did so willingly and, I judged, intelligently based on his knowledge of trees. I chose how much I wanted done and we agreed on the cost. I am "comfortable" with the cost , although I am not sure it was "least cost". However, given the number of trees worked on (at least 10), the quality of work on the trees, the responsiveness of the company, the work ethic of the crew (who worked diligently and were very respectful and who responded to my many questions with patience and expertise) and the completely satisfactory clean up of the yard and roof , the cost was reasonable.. Additionally, I did have some experience with tree service costs about 4 years ago and this cost seemed in line with that. In short, I would certainly hire American Tree Service in the future. I am completely satisfied with the work done. Of course, if time is not of the essence, I would endorse the general recommendation that home owners get three estimates for any major product/service that they seek.
Description of Work: A large branch fell onto the side of home after a wind/rain storm and another large branch was hanging from the tree by "a thread", The large fallen branch needed to be removed and the branch still hanging needed to be taken down. Additional work was done to trim other trees in the yard as needed.

Tim was able to come out give an estimate the morning that I called to have a large tree removed that was seriously damaged from high wind gusts. His team was able to start same day and complete the job quickly. This is my third tree that I've had American Tree Service remove over the past several years, and each time has been completed in a short time frame, at reasonable cost and courteous service. Highly recommend American Tree Service.

Tim was prompt for the walk-through and estimate. He and his crew arrived on time for the work and did a great job of trimming. Two of the trees required a lot of work. All trees look great. The crew cleaned up afterwards. I will definitely hire again.
