The branches on an Oak and Poplar tree in the neighbor's yard were overhanging my roof and needed to be trimmed. Also, 2 Maple trees in the back yard had branches overhanging the deck roof and a Maple and Oak tree in the back yard needed to be trimmed. A total of 7 trees were trimmed. An excellent job was done trimming the trees overhanging my house without hitting the house when the limbs were felled. I was very satisfied with the work and the cleanup afterwards and I was really impressed with the care the crew took in not hitting my house or my neighbor's house with any of the tree branches when the branches were cut.

I want to recommend ‘A Beautiful Tree by Jackson’ (256-880-2730) for any serious care of large trees. He has looked after the large willow oaks on our property since before I moved here 6 years ago, managing the canopy to reduce the risk of wind damage and falling branches. (‘Managing the canopy’ involves much more than taking off a few easily reached lower limbs.) I recently had him look at one of the trees because I noticed termite activity near it. He did an external inspection which showed no indication of termite damage to the tree. Later, he called me to suggest that we call Lee McBride to have a core density test done to be as certain as possible that the tree was solid and healthy. Lee McBride (256-990-5115), a consulting arborist with Landscape Management Consultants, Inc., came today and made several 18” density probes. He showed us the readouts and explained what they meant. Turns out that we do have a solid, healthy, tree with no external or internal indications of damage by disease or insects. Quality tree work overseen by a certified arborist gives us peace of mind. We also figure that preventive maintenance costs less that removing a large downed tree off the house and getting the house repaired.

We have had a great experience with this company with our trees. We have been very pleased with him. He is fabulous. I can’t say enough about his praise, because he is great. We recommended him to my neighbors. If I remember correctly, I think it was about $1,200 a tree. That was to cut them down, shred the stump, haul everything off, shred all of it. I thought we were going to have to float a loan, but we checked around and he was in the price range. He did great work. The price was a little cheaper than a couple other places I think we had checked.

I asked Mr. Jackson to cut down a number of trees in my yard and leave them on the ground so that I could cut them up for firewood. Most of the trees were fairly large and near the house, so they had to be cut down in pieces. His price was the lowest of three that I solicited - by a small margin - and he instilled the most confidence. When his crew showed up, they did exactly what I had requested. They were polite, too, and did not request payment until the work was complete. Needless to say, I was very pleased, highly recommend them, and plan to hire them again in the future to take down a few more trees.

I had another top-rated provider come out and provide an estimate. Mr. Jackson's estimate was much lower. They came out and did a tremendous amount of work, and the price was great. They were very easy to work with and responded well to my requests. Mr. Jackson actually came out while the crew was working up in my VERY large trees to check on how the job was going. I was impressed. They did a perfect job of cleaning up after they finished, and he told me that was what he expected of his crews. I would recommend this provider to anyone with a similar need, and I WILL use them again.

I contacted the provider for the tree removal.  After a few planned days that were canceled due to bad weather, they arrived on a very cold December morning to remove the four trees in the back yard.  They were courteous, and worked quickly to remove two of the sweet gums, the elm, and the maple from the back yard.  After they removed the trees, they ground all but one of the stumps before their equipment needed repair.  They planned to return in a week, but more bad weather prevented them returning until January.
One of the trees overhung my house, and they were extremely careful in removing the branches to not damage my sun room or my roof.  They carefully roped each branch on the elm, and lowered it to the ground.
I was extremely impressed with the professionalism of the workers, and would gladly recommend their work to anyone.  They showed up at the expected time, weather permitting.  Ms. Jackson would always call the day or so before to confirm they would have permission to be on my property.
If I ever have another large tree removed on my property, I plan to see if they are available.

The reason I called this outfit was that they had done a job up the street from us.  When I came home for lunch, they were working at it and the front yard was a real mess of down trees, branches, etc.  When I cam home from work four hours later, that yard was so clean you hardly would have known the work had occurred.  Needless to say, I was impressed.
Mr. Jackson came out promptly and provided a reasonable estimate for a job that would require special care because the tree was dead, and on terrain where it would be impossible to use a cherry-picker.  Mr. Jackson was amiable, knowledgeable, and professional.  On the scheduled day, three workmen came right on time and were ready to roll.  The climber had to hang from another tree to do the job.  The tree was cut down, carried off, and the area cleaned up in less than an hour.

I tried to contact this company on 9-20 by VM and again on 9-23.  On the latter date, the need for an estimate of work was given to the wife and requested that her husband call me to schedule an appointment.  She asked for our address and I explained that we needed to be present and stated that no one go to the property without our knowledge or presence.  It was explained that we were going out of town and only available certain days.  I explained very generally that we needed some trees cut down.  No specifics were given.  The wife stated that her husband would call us.  Waiting until we were out of town, we found that her husband had gone to our property, written an "estimate", opened a back screen door and slipped an envelope under the door.  No one had contacted us for an appointment,  they went on our property without consent, and gave an "estimate" without knowing what work needed to be done since they hadn't talked to us.  None of our simple requests or instructions were honored or followed.
I have two(2) documented phone calls made by this company on the date I had given to them when we would be out of town.  Because of travel, we could not answer the phone which was in proper working order.  No attempt to call was made before that time.  And again, since I had not talked with Mr. Jackson to explain the specific work that needed done, no accurate estimate could be given.

"This is the first time we are hearing about your dissatisfaction with our Company and we are sorry that you had a bad experience with our service, however, my husband tried quite a few times to reach you on the phone number that you left with us. The phone rang a few times and then went to busy every time that he called. Since this was the only way we had to get in touch with you, on 9/25/13 he went ahead and came by your house to look at the tree work that you requested, in hopes that you would be there. Since he was already there, he looked at the tree work requested, wrote up an estimate, and left it in your door - as he has done many, many times in our 35+ years in business (Federal law prohibits us from leaving the estimate in your mailbox). He also stated on the estimate that he had tried several times, during several days, to get in touch with you and your phone was not working. We try to get to our estimates in a timely fashion and Mr. Jackson was trying to get to you as soon as possible. Our customers are very important to us and we strive to provide a quality service. Our ratings with the local BBB and with Angie's List should speak for themselves. We feel that we go above and beyond the call of duty for all of our customers, however, this situation was out of our control with a non working customer's phone. Again, we apologize for your bad experience with our Company and if we can be of any service in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you."

I got 3 bids and Ralph's was the best, although another was within $50.  Since I didn't have an emergency situation, we agreed to wait a couple of weeks before he would do the work, a good sign that he was busy.  He and his team (3 men) were right on time, had lots of heavy equipment, were very professional, worked hard, chipped or hauled off all wood, and cleaned up nicely.  I think Ralph said his crew has been with him for sometime, and it seemed like they knew just who was doing what and worked as a team.  I marked my sprinker heads, and I think that was important because they had to work in tight quarters and were dropping heavy logs as they cut down the big trees.  I stayed around for an hour or so to watch and make decisions on logistics for vehicles and such.  After that I went to work and let them do their thing.  It took 2 days to complete the job, and Ralph said to inspect the work when done, call him if it was not satisfactory, and when i was satisfied, mail him a check.  Does not get much better as far as customer satisfaction goes.  If you haven't figured it out by now, I was very satisfied.  Next time I need tree work, I will definitely call Ralph.

Mr. Jackson personally came over to give us a quote for the service. He was extremely friendly and gave us the best quote, by far, of the total quotes we had received for the same service. He did let us know that we would be about three weeks out, which was fine for us. We were in no hurry.
We were actually on our way home from a vacation when A Beautiful Tree called us to let us know that we had been moved up. Being on the road I called back and told them we were not home, but if they could get into the back and start working, we had no problem with that. When we got home that evening we saw that they had already made great progress and had moved a lot of the cut-up logs to the curb.
The next day they were back and completed the job. They hauled off the tree parts and left the yard a lot cleaner than when they got there. Mr. Jackson had quoted us a price for the tree removal and stump grinding but we decided to only do the tree removal at this time. However he did promise to honor the quoted price for stump grinding should we choose to do it later.
I am supremely impressed with the overall service, price, and courtesy of the company.

Remarkably efficient, courteous and professional.  Very impressed with their emphasis on safety of their personnel and my property.
Do's:
-  Get multiple bids (A Beautiful Tree was lowest by far)
-  Do verify that the service is licensed and bonded.
-  Be flexible on the dates of service, allowing for rain days and being bumped by folks with emergency situations (trees through the roof) after severe storms

Although I did not personally witness the work being performed, on inspection later I noticed that the cuts were exceedingly precise collar cuts (not flush to the trunk), and care was taken to preserve the aesthetic of the tree-forms.  I am told he climbed into the Bradfords, an uncommon practice in the industry.  Equipment was sanitized before cuts were made with denatured alcohol - again, an uncommon practice.  I would qualify this skill as uncommon, attentive to the tree, highly expert, and in full knowledge of the plant that they are pruning.  I have used other tree contractors, but this contractor showed an attention to detail that far exceeded any standard I could have expected.  I am proud to have used this business on my much-beloved trees.

Work was done in a reasonable time after calling the company for a quote. The crew came with all the equipment needed to grind up the tree and stump. The crew was efficient and had the job done in only about 2 hours. The only minor improvement would be if they had notified me when they would be here. Would certainly have them do any other tree work I need.

I want Ralph Jackson and his crew to know how much I appreciated their assistance in getting my trees taken care of.  The crew was right on time, completed the job within an hour or so, and cleaned up the debris.  My yard certainly looks a lot better than it did before and I have all of you to thank for that!!  I am very pleased with the results and will/would always recommend them.

I called 3 companies for an estimate.  All responded.  We checked local BBB and lower court information on all companies.  Selected 'A Beautiful Tree'  based on good record, lowest estimate and information about their equipement and plan for the work to be done.  We a wide gate for removal use; had an underground sprinkler system and other small trees, shed, etc. that wanted protected during the job.
Mr. Jackson and his crew arrived on time on the dates of service and completed all the work in a day and a half.  They positioned their large chip truck at the entrance to the backyard where they dragged limbs, branches, etc for chipping.  Their 'tree monkey' was an expert and cut/dropped the limbs and branches with super accuracy and care.  The other two workmen worked well together and with the 'tree monkey'; took few breaks and supported each other very well.  An excellent team.  The had very good equipment and handled themselves like professionals.  They came to work with clean clothes and maintained a good work ethic all the time.  They had the right size of tractors for the removal of the large trunk pieces to the curb for placing in a large collector box.  They relocated any objects in the back yard to a safer area at the beginning and replaced them all when done. 
All in all, it was a pleasant experience and we were pleased with the company, the crew and the quality of their efforts and equipment they used.  As we expected and discussed with them at the beginning, there was some damage to the underground sprinkling system due to extra weight of the chip removal truck and tractors removing the larger pieces from the back yard to the collection trailor at the curb.  Some lines were cracked.  The travel of the equipment back and forth to the curb created some damage to the yard, but it was minimal.   We indicated to the company and workers to be as careful as they could; we would take care of the sprinkling system repair.  They leveled the area very well and filled the ruts as best they could.  All in all, a very good job.

I found A Beautiful Tree on Angies list - ratings were so good I went to their website and completed the quote request form.  Received email reply in less than 24 hours and Ralph Jackson came out to do a written estimate within a couple of days. Before he left he handed me the estimate - didn't have to wait for him to get back with me like so many others.  Mr. Jackson is very knowledgeable about trees and as we walked around the yard he gave me lots of pointers, which I really appreciated.    A week or so later, after getting 2 other estimates, I contacted Ralph to schedule the work.  They were able to come out within a couple of weeks, which was wonderful.  The crew showed up on time and was very professional.  They did a great job and when they left all was neat and clean!  They even removed a few dead limbs from other trees in my yard while they were here at no additional charge!
I would highly recommend this company.  If I ever need to have tree work in the future I will go straight to A Beautiful Tree by Jackson!

He did a wonderful job. He is an A plus. He is very good. They worked on two trees. They didn’t do the firewood because I didn’t requested, I am sure they would have if I requested but I didn’t. They left a little bit mulch from the stump that they grounded. They were excellent.
