The owner fit me in right away especially because I was worried about the safety of everyone with the tree limb hanging. They gave me the discount for being an Angie's list customer without me having to ask about it.Taylor was the foreman on the job. He and his crew arrived right on time. They were very polite. They quickly went to work. They consulted with me on how I wanted the trees trimmed. They cleaned up all the mess afterwards. They even took some extra dead wood that we had previous cut from our back yard trees. They were very friendly and professional. I would definitely use them again. The whole process took about 2 hours. The trees look great.
Description of Work: I had 6 trees trimmed of dead wood and cleaned up on the inside. One of the trees, a corkscrew willow, had a big broken branch and lots of dead wood in it.....cleaned and cleared. I also had some juniper shrubs removed and stumps grinded.

I had wanted to get rid of these trees for years. Large limbs falling off during storms motivated me to take action. I checked reviews and Tarzan had nothing lower than a B rating. The initial visit was very professional and informative. The estimate was outstanding and I immediately hired Tarzan tree services. Work showed up when promised and all work was done excellently.

This is the 4th time I've used Tarzan Tree in the last 4 years all because the owner, Alex, is an thoroughly honest businessman. He and his business partner, Rob, are the epitomes of professionalism and trustworthiness. I cannot say enough great things about this company! Alex gives fair estimates and ensures that the job is fully completed to the customer's satisfaction. The entire Tarzan crew is hardworking, careful and professional. They leave the yard better than how it looked when they arrived and they clear debris fully. I trust this crew so much that I actually left the premises for many hours so as not to get in the way of the crane and dangerous pines. After a storm had knocked a pine onto the corner of our house 4 years ago (which Tarzan removed for us) I didn't want to be anywhere near while the crane was removing the very huge pines. When I returned for the last part of the job I was so happy to see how careful Tarzan was with the driveway and grass. This team is truly remarkable! Thanks so much Tarzan, you're the best! Kathy L.
Description of Work: Tarzan Tree trimmed 3 crepe myrtle trees and removed 6 loblolly pines. They used a crane since one of the pines was absolutely massive while 3 of the pines were huge and very close to the house.

From the moment that they noiselessly arrived with trucks and equipment to their quiet departure, Tarzan was very professional, efficient, personable, and extremely respectful of my property and landscaping. The crew's leader effectively communicated the job to his team, and any questions/suggestions were immediately brought to the homeowner's attention and resolved. I had specifically stated in the contract not to drop the dead gum tree, and the crew diligently roped each piece and caught it before it dropped. Scheduling of the job was as promised. My neighbors were also impressed with this tree service. This is the first time that I used Tarzan which I found on Angie's List. I would definitely recommend and use Tarzan Tree Service again.
Description of Work: Complete removal and grinding down of stump of a very tall dead gum tree, elevated two other large gum trees, and underpruned and elevated mature maple tree. Complete cleanup with all debris removed and areas raked and blown.

The crew arrived at 10 a.m. and began working immediately. Thirteen trees (ornamental type,but several were at least 15 feet or so high). As the trees came down,someone was there to take the limbs off. Then someone took them to a "chipper" and ground them up. It was like an assembly line operation. By noon, the guys were nearly finished. They even removed the larger pieces of the one I had to try and cut up. All areas cleaned up no debris left around - actually a neighbor came by and could not tell anyone had cut the trees down other than they were gone. It is just great that I do not have to worry about a windstorm knocking them over any more. I have large pine trees and a large wild magnolia that I am going to have Tarzan come out in the fall to remove some large dead limbs. If the wind blows the limbs down before then, I'll just have them out to take care of them at that point. AND it feels great to have a veteran owned business perform work for me. I was raised in a Navy family, my husband was a Navy veteran. That is a real bonus.
Description of Work: I had 13 trees that the beginnings of some type of rot at the very bottom of the trees. One had already fallen during Hurricane Arthur earlier this month and thankfully it was small enough for me to get most of it up.

Co-Owner visited site and gave written estimate which he then discounted due to Angie's List referral. C0-Owner stated that no job was too small and he believed in taking care of his customers. The work crew arrived at the appointed time and was led by a second co-owner. The job was done properly and took one hour from start to finish. The crew was professional and polite. I could not have asked for better service. Hiring Tarzan Tree Service was a smart use of money and a definite time saver. I would use this company again without hesitation.

Filled out their online form and at first, didn't hear anything back. So I called to get an estimate and we agreed on noon Monday (June 23). Alex called about 11:50 and said he had just left a previous job and would be there about 12:05. He gave me an estimate of $750 and said they could do it the next day (the 24th). Also said the price was negotiable, so we got down to $650. I waited on a couple other estimates, but for Company A, the person who does the estimates went home sick and Company B emailed me, said they'd drop by to take a look, then email a proposal. They didn't -- at least that day by 5 p.m. So I called Alex and told them I'd hire them for the $650 because I wanted to get the work done sooner, rather than later. When I got home from work that night (I work nights), there was an estimate attached to my door from Company B for $500. Anyway, Alex had said they'd come by in the afternoon. Since he was courteous in calling to tell me he'd be five minutes late for the estimate, I figured they'd call me and tell me they were on their way. They didn't. Not a huge deal, but I would've liked to know when they're coming. Got there between 3 and 3:30 p.m. So they spent the next 1 1/2 to 2 hours tearing down the tree, grinding the stump and hauling all the debris away. Did a real fine job -- no real complaints. They even made sure not to harm my Japanese Maple that was a few feet from the Bradford pear. Turns out, they were a little more expensive than I could've had, and didn't call to tell me when they were coming or were on their way. Other than that, I didn't have any complaints. The guy in charge (it wasn't Alex this time) even made a couple suggestions as to what to plant in place of the Bradford so I could get some of my shade and privacy back.
Description of Work: Took down a bradford pear tree that had been knocked down halfway in a storm and removed a yard full of branches/leaves from my yard that the tree left behind.

Tarzan tree service is AMAZING! A six man crew arrived 45 minutes early, beginning work immediately. They ensured all decorative yard displays were moved to a safe location before any cutting was done. Nothing was damaged including ground plants, other trees and a nearby newly installed wooden fence. The entire crew is respectful of our property. They function as a "well oiled machine". Branches and tree trunk sections were immediately picked up in a non stop clean up operation. They were mindful not to allow debris to fall into the neighbors yard. The crew cleaned up so well that you would never know they had been here except for the FANTASTIC RESULTS! The entire job took just over an hour! These guys don't mess around. Very professional and courteous. They kept busy, with task at hand, but took time to answer questions. We can't recommend Tarzan Tree Service highly enough and intend to use their service again. We have already told several neighbors, and our daughter, about this wonderful company. The Angie List rating system doesn't go high enough, in this instance. A+++

Our neighbors had used Tarzan and were happy with the service that they received. We requested quotes for five items, primarily tree removal with stump grinding. Total came to $3550 less 10% winter discount. Estimate was thorough, but we went with a contractor who quoted $825 for the three items completed vs. Tarzan's $1305 total for those same three items.

Response from Tarzan Tree Service
Homeowners CAN ALWAYS find a cheaper price. However, in this line of work you do indeed get what you pay for. Respectable tree service companies have overhead to pay for such as liability insurance and coverage (workmens compensation) for their employees, legitimate payroll (not temporary cash day laborers), fuel, and for those of us who are "full service" there are high maintenance bills to upkeep all the equipment. While it may have worked well for this customer this instance, taking the chance on a contractor solely for being cheaper doesn't always pay off. We've seen it time and time again when we've been called to come correct others' shoddy work. Thank you

I apologize, but I do not recall this customer's name, number, and address. Our company Office Manager has been with us since we opened and my business would not be able to function without him. That is how confident I am in his duties. If this did indeed occur, I apologize.

They were very quick and polite. They cleaned up, filled holes with dirt and replaced furniture before leaving. I am very please with the service and will use them again when I am ready to cut down the rest of the trees. I got several bids and they were the lowest offer. They also worked with me for paying as I am disabled and on a limited budget. Alex was very nice when he came to give the estimate and the crew that did the work was also very nice men. You would be missing out if you do not give them a call and have them do your tree service. I have had several trees cut down over the years I have lived here and they are the best tree service I have used to date. I will not look for another now that I found Tarzan Tree. Great Job Guys! Thank You

It is their busy time of year and we had to schedule four weeks out. We are a military family and they try to hire returning military veterans, which we really like. They send one of the owners out to do the estimate and he maintained contact to let me know when it would be. They were right on time. The other owner leads the crew and you can tell he knows what he is doing. We were pleased with the outcome of the work. Our yard looks so much better.
