The company did more than I anticipated. In fact, the onsite crew went further than the arborist originally proposed. Having done so, the owner accepted the quoted price by the arborist rather than what the job should have cost.

The crew arrived first thing, in the morning, made sure that all of the work was done as we wanted and cleaned up all of the limbs and other debris.

They did a great job on all the trees. I told them I would call them again if I have any other issues or needs for tree service.

Went fantastic, everything was done as explained by the arborist. The price was FAR below the other two quotes I received, they did an excellent job and I would hire them again in a minute. Cleaned all the debris, excellent company.

I have used them about 4-5 years ago to remove some pine trees for us (3 trees). They also trimmed back the tree that needs trimmed again now. They do very well, and I have not had any issues. I have recommended them to a couple other people. They have all the right equipment which is really important (Boom Truck, grinders, etc.), and are an established company. The pricing is not the cheapest, but they do a great job!

Extremely well. A crew of 4 or 5 with heavy duty equipment arrived at 8:00 AM and worked straight thru until about 2:00 PM. The whole process went smoothly from making the appointment until they cleaned up and left. There was a lot to do. All 13 trees required work. They even raised a tree branch for a neighbor from our tree that was low risking his car being scratched.

These guys gave me great service. I had an obnoxious, invasive tree whose sprouts were taking over my backyard. I read many stories online about how difficult it is to get rid of this type of  tree. They removed it & it has not returned.

We've used Pinellas Tree Service twice in the past several years.  Once to trim a large palm and then to remove a 50' Slash Pine. Both times we received excellent service.   When our 34' Queen Palm needed trimming we called Pinellas Tree last week (1/10/2016) for an estimate.    Their arborist informed us the tree had Ganoderma, root rot, and should be removed before it fell. We agreed and accepted their proposal.   Saturday night (1-16-2016) it fell, missing everything but the ground!   Emailed Pinellas Tree that day explained the situation and this morning (at 7:48 am 1/18/2016) they arrived and removed the toppled palm. 
Let me add that Saturday night the area had a violent storm, heavy rains, wind with a tornado nearby.  No doubt Pinellas Tree Service had ringing phones and many requests for their services.  My wife and I very much appreciate their prompt attention to our problems and rapid response.
We could not be more pleased with their help.
As an aside, it's easy to find unlicensed. unbonded "tree services"  (usually two guys, a truck and a ladder),   Pinellas Tree gladly shows proof of proper bonds and licenses.

Response from Pinellas Tree Service Inc
"I do not see in my records that we worked for this homeowner but I can offer some information. As a business owner for 39 years, currently a professional tree service that has a Certified Arborist,can give proof of Workman's compensation & general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 coverage, and that has the proper personnel & equipment,and actually has a office or business location,to stay in business the company needs to get $75 per.man hour minimim.(this info. has been well documented),. I wounder if the home owner thought about travel time & time to dispose of cuttings. Sounds like the homeowner made out pretty good as long as long as they got a quality job."

:I am President of a condo community.  We signed a contract with this provider to trim and chop off limbs of live Oak Trees and a couple other trees - contract amount =  $2,450.  They came at 8 am to do the job - as arranged as I sleep late, another board member was up and got them going.  At 8:15, I got a frantic call from the board member that the contractor was not going to do the job we wanted done and to please come down and talk to the foreman.  At that time in the morning w/o coffee, I was a perfect mark!  The foreman told me that they couldn't do what we wanted done (1 live oak was not included in the contract and some other miscellaneous items, very confusing).  If we wanted to the the work done that day we would have to renegotiate the contract.  He wanted $5,000 to complete the job and added that we could pay $2500 down and the rest in five month installments at $500 per month.  Both red flags that should have alerted me that I was being taken!  Double the contract amount and the FOREMAN offering an easy payment plan!  In my foggy brain, I accepted the offer.
.Later when I understood a little more fully what I had done, I realized that I had been taken.  Should have told to carry out the contract and what he didn't do, we could have gotten done by another service for less than $2500.  The Invoice that followed reinforced that idea:  difference between the original contract and invoice - 1 live oak.
When I notified our property manager, she agreed that the invoiced amount was far too much (after the fact, $3000 would have been appropriate).  She spoke to the manager of Pinellas Tree Service who rejected any change in the contract as signed by me at the time of the cutting.  So, I paid $2000 out of pocket (for my mistake) of that  $5,000 and the association paid the rest.
Bottom line:  the company probably is a legitimate tree service - they did a good job and cleaned up well after - but beware that this company will likely step in if they see an opportunity to cash in!  Good work, poor ethics!


Response from Pinellas Tree Service Inc
"The original proposal was for $4,950 to professionally prune the trees, this included pruning the trees away from the buildings, raising and crown cleaning. They rejected the proposal and only wanted to prune the trees away from the buildings and raise for $2,450 which was agreed to. Upon arriving to supervise the work Tony (owner) discussed the job with the board member in charge before starting the job. Tony explained that without doing the crown cleaning that we would not be doing the quality of work we are used to doing. The last thing we want is to do the job and then have a customer not happy with our work and have everyone asking why didn't you cut this or that.After some discussion it was agreed that the right thing to do was to do the crown cleaning and to include another large Oak and some smaller trees to complete the job for $5,000."

wonderful, they did it in about 2-3 hours. Had a grinder. Charged 700 dollars, blew off the roof, cleaned up really good, do not have to worry about branches falling off trees onto house.

I was at work when they came but they did a great job and cleaned everything up before they left.  The large tree looks so much better and looks like a new tree.  They didn't even bill me for the service until I saw the results because they wanted to make sure I was satisfied with their work.  I was more than satisfied and will recommend them to anyone who asks.  I will definitely use them again!
