About us

Fully Equipped Professional Tree Service Company offering complete holistic tree care from the root to the crown. Certified Arborists with ISA Certification (International Society of Arborculture). Our focus is tree preservation. in many cases we are able to restore the health and vigor of valuable specimen trees that are in decline or are experiencing physiological disruption due to environmental stress, saving the customer time, money, and of course the tree itself. Options like these are rarely offered by other companies when their focus is only cutting production (get it on the ground, get it in the truck and get to the next job). There are many so called arborists and tree surgeons out there who are completely unfamiliar with proper cultivation and maintenance practices and few, if any, have a well grounded knowledge of tree biology. A good arborist must understand the tree and its needs before embarking on a program of care; and just as in medicine, prescrption before diagnosis is malpractice. As a team of tree care specialists, nothing bothers us more than seeing perfectly good trees go to waste at the hands of negligent tree services companies. Our vision is doing the right service, creating a Win-Win situation for both the customers and God's creation. It is in this manner that repeat business has been and continues to be the strength of our company. Our reputation was built one happy client at a time.We hope that you also will join us in building an ever greater network of people who value and are commited to sustaining the urban forest by caring for their trees in a holistic manner that is based in science and not hype

Excellent - Steve is a certified arborist and talked me through the permitting process. Once the permit was received, he scheduled the work and did it quickly and efficiently. They cleaned up the mess and when they left you never knew they were here. They cleaned up everything and were very professional throughout the process.
Description of Work: Removal of 2 large Oak Trees that were damaged and probably would not have survived storm season.

Description of Work: Steven came by today to give me an assessment on if I needed to remove 2 small trees from the front of my house because I thought they were too close. He came by and explained to me that the trees would just need to be trimmed by my regular lawn care guys. Not wanting to have wasted his time I asked him to look at the rest of the trees on my property and he stated that everything looked great. He then advised me to get a refund from Angie's List for the coupon that I purchased since it was not used. Very nice and professional. He even identified some of the trees for me that I had no information on. Definitely will call on Hurricane Tree Specialist for any future problems I have.

He came out and took a look at an Elm tree I had, he informed me that the tree was sturdy and okay. It was also protected. It is only supposed to come down if it sick and it is not. He was very honest and professional.

Met with owner to discuss possible a couple of possible pruning projects after purchasing a $99 deal on Angie's List. Owner was very knowledgeable and someone that we and quot;wouldand quot; have hired if he kept his word. At the time of our meeting my wife and I explained that we may need to adjust the scope and timing of the project due to the high cost of his company's services. The informed us that he was happy to be flexible with regard to and quot;whatand quot; project and and quot;whenand quot; it took place, which is why we were in no rush to schedule. We recently called the company to request using the coupon to remove a dead tree on our property. The owner informed us that he was unwilling to honor the coupon due the fact that it had expired, even though he had previously informed us that he was and quot;flexibleand quot; with regard to and quot;whatand quot; and and quot;whenand quot; we used the coupon for. It's unfortunate that the owner of this company refused to honor his promise. We would not recommend engaging this company for any services.

Steve came and gave a quote. I knew the quote was reasonable so I asked him to proceed. We needed a permit so they arranged the permit with the city.When Steve had the permit, they came out and cut down the tree. A 30 ft tree was gone in 2 hrs. The team was very professional and cleaned up quickly. The stump was then ground down. My only complaint was that I did not know they were coming that day. It worked out ok. Steve and his staff are very professional and courteous.

Work met all my expectations. Estimate was clear and they listened carefully to what I needed and explained the limitations/possibilities of my requests. Very busy company so they had to re-schedule once, but were very communicative and stayed on top of re-scheduling. Prompt, uniformed, pleasant, and well-informed personnel, and a larger crew than I expected, which made the work go faster and more efficiently. Clean, well-kept vehicle and equipment. Left literature for future reference.
Description of Work: Cutting to ground level of a mature tree and also taking to ground level a large stump. Cutting several nuisance trees/bushes. Pruning large oak. Hurricane trim of large palmetto tree. Removal of all debris.

Description of Work: For what I paid, plus a tip on top of it. Not a good job. left the stump, after removing a dead tree. Another tree on the side of the home we wanted a lot taken off. Took off very little. I told them my husband really wanted the tree gone but the owner said it was a nice tree and healthy. So I told him to really trim it down. Was not done. Had another tree in the back yard that needed a trim. Wanted the branches not hanging over my patio roof and some dead branches cut. Told me this is how the tree grows. So it was his way or highway. I had them do it because I already paid the discount. That was another issue. When he gave me the price and I said I had the coupon he lowed it 50.00 dollars more but said he already gave me the discount. I dont beleive that was the truth. Got no paper work on what he did and the cost.I will now have to call another company to do the finish work. The owner kept telling me that he needed to do my work when he would be closer to my house as it cost a lot to fill his trucks. Even coming out to look at the work I wanted done. By the time they got to my house the truck was filled with other work they had done,and it started to rain along with thunder. I told them they could come back, owner said no. I was very unhappy. They did not do 1,000 dollars with of work. this was also the price with the 200.00 dollar discount.

Response from Hurricane Tree Specialists
Had the pleasure of meeting customer for the initial estimate. During our conversation at that time, stated to them "if you are looking for our trees to be butchered (hacked), I'm not the company for you." This is because we are certified, trained Arborists who care and maintain trees after other 'dudes with chainsaws" damage trees (unknowingly). Paid for customers permit tree removal in advance. Knew before we arrived that the customer had purchased a coupon, but then provided customer a larger discount than what was being offered, addition $50 value. Would have happily provided stump removal service, although it was never asked, suggested, or requested. Walked customer through the entire job after completion asking if everything is satisfactory or if anything needed further attention. We received approval from customer while on their property. Customer said "you guys did a great job!". Was given a tip which was very nice of them (her). Was never contacted, either by phone, email, nor through Angie's List to ever know they were newly unhappy. First time knowing they became unhappy was after getting this Angie's List Review. We then Contacted Customer via email in response to the unhappy Angie's List review. Never heard back. Based on the happy events which occurred during the job and then the unhappy review on Angie's List; we think the two homeowners were at odds as only one homeowner was present during the entire process (estimate & day of job completion), and that homeowner was very happy during the process, even the tip says alot. So, we understand that sometimes a spouse wanted something different, but we have not been given any opportunity to fix or communicate this issue. Kept their yard perpetually clean. No damage to any of their shrubs, not even their grass. It sprinkled for a short amount of time, we even cleaned up the sawdust on the concrete driveway so that the light rain would not stick the sawdust to the driveway. Took all the care possible, gave it our best job. Tried to communicate upon reading the review. There's nothing more we can do. Wishing the customer the best and we are available if they wish to contact us.

Steve and his team are very professional and very tidy. They pruned two trees for me that needed several limbs removed. They arrived when they said they would and they left when everything was picked up and cleaned up. I plan to use this company soon for another property.

Steve was recommended by a friend and his quote was 30% less than others.Steve was on time, professional, diligent and careful. When the job was taking longer than expected, he called in extra crew members to get the job finished in time. They did a great job cleaning up as well. Steve even checked the trees for birds and squirrels before cutting to make sure not to injure any animals.

When Steven gave us his estimate he impressed us with his knowledge as an arborist and his desire to keep the intregrity of the trees while still removing the dead wood. On the day of the job, Steven and crew arrived exactly on time. Only Steven climbed the trees, as he quoted us, with the rest of the crew on the ground. Two large oaks near the house were removed, all of our other oaks were trimmed, very conservatively, as we were promised. They cut and carried all the large pieces of wood and stacked them for us, the other branches were chipped and mulch left for us as we wished. We are extremely pleased with the job done, and will absolutely have Steven back when we need work done again. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in having a quality job done.
