Description of Work: I really can't rate them on Performance since they never answered any of the emails sent to their Website. So, they receive a C because they never responded which shows me a lack of professionalism on their part.

Description of Work: I couldn't be more satisfied. After one trunk of my 3-trunk Laurel oak fell, I called hoping that the rest of the tree could be saved. Arborist Steve Day came out a few hours after I called. Unfortunately, the tree was diseased and put my family and home in danger. He gave me a bid and encouraged me to get others before committing, as tree removal of this magnitude does not come cheap. He cautioned me to move quickly though. I contacted some other companies who were a little pushy and the bids were all the same. I contacted Steve at 8pm asking how quickly his team could do the job. He called me back within 20 min and had already made arrangements to be at my house early the next morning. Despite an impending tropical storm, they arrived at 7:30 the next day as promised with the hope that they could secure the tree from causing damage to my home. They raced against the weather and were able to get the job done in a day. Their team is a well-oiled machine with big boy equipment. I noticed 2 other tree removal companies in the neighborhood who were working with a pick up and a rope. My yard was left spotless. I am not a pushover and recommend this company very highly!

Description of Work: I was very impressed with Gulf Coast Tree Care from the very first encounter to the end of the job. Steve even came back later, at no cost, to answer further questions about care for additional trees. The entire crew was punctual, professional, and pleasant. Darren even gave me some advice about the leak under my 1997 Tahoe! I am a complete novice about tree care and felt in good hands with knowledgeable people. Additionally, when the job was done, there was no evidence in the yard that they had even been there, except for nicely pruned trees. A four star outfit! Use them when you need them!

I was very impressed. An arborist came and did the estimate and then the day before the work, another one came and assessed for the crew. The day of the work there were 5 workers. The arborist was there when they started and checked back often. The tree looks much better, the yard was cleaned up very well and the employees were kind and courteous. There was no damage to any other plants in the yard. The ground looked better after they came than when they came!

The best experience I have ever had, with any contractor, in any category. I live in Temple Terrace, which they don't normally service, but due to the situation my oak tree was in, came out right away. They were on time for the assessment, thorough in their explanations, and buttoned up in providing up to date workers comp and license info as part of their bid. Steve, who conducted the quote, is a licensed arborist, and within 5 minutes of speaking with him you can tell he knows his stuff. Some highlights: The only bid that committed to climbing and dismantling the tree, as opposed to brining a lift trick which would have destroyed a lot of my landscaping. Less expensive than the other bids. On time; Steve supervised. All workers were uniformed, and clearly citizens When they came across a squirrel nest of babies, they set it aside for squirrel rescue (and believe it or not reunited with their mother). Covered any costs of any work not quoted, but needing to be done.
Description of Work: We had a large oak tree in our backyard split. After contracting with another company on only the cleanup of debris in our yard and on our neighbor's roof, we wanted to go with an arborist to bid out the remaining work, interviewed several tree services found in Angie's List for the actual evaluation of what remained of our tree, along with an assessment of another half dozen oaks on our property. Gulf Coast Tree Care won the bid, taking down the remainder of the large oak, along with another dead oak in the back yard, trimming several other oaks, and arranging for a tree stump grinding. The quality and professionalism of this company were noteworthy, and documented in the "member comments" section of this report. I will be using them again for annual checks and maintenance of my remaining oaks.

Liz was very friendly and professional, scheduling me for an estimate within a day or two. Mr. Kale arrived at my home on time and was extremely knowledgeable and honest. I thought the estimate was a bit high initially. However, they were able to come out within the week and performed a wonderful job, leaving the lot very clean. Their integrity was admirable and is very difficult to find these days (they were not willing to butcher trees). Their education and work ethic made the price worthy. We were paying for quality.

Outstanding! Cut leafy branches of the tree first to create a cushion for larger branches to avoid damaging lawn, etc. Cut remaining branches using support crew to watch area and avoid damage. Worked well together, had job done fast and cleaned up so no evidence remained of any work being done after job was completed! Highly recommend this company.

From start to finish, my experience with the Gulf Coast Tree Care team was one of the most positive I've had with any company. My first contact was with Liz, who was friendly, professional, and timely in her responsiveness. She scheduled an appointment for later the same day with Steve, an arborist. He arrived a bit early (which was fine by me,) answered a ton of my questions, and provided me with a printed proposal which included the scope, pricing, terms and conditions, and a copy of their liability insurance. Attached was a newspaper article with tips on hiring a tree service. Steve was very professional and happy to share his knowledge. After receiving estimates from two other companies, we contracted with Gulf Coast. Liz took care of obtaining the permit and scheduled a date. The crew arrived on time, was courteous and professional, and carefully completed the work. Darin, the site foreman, walked and talked me through a final inspection. All was to my very picky satisfaction.
Description of Work: A Live Oak in our front yard was elevated and balanced. Improper pruning cuts were fixed and dead growth was removed. Also, a large Canary Island Date Palm was removed and the stump ground for a replant. All debris was removed and hauled. The sidewalks and driveway were cleaned. A certified arborist was on site to supervise. Before starting, one of the crew volunteered to dig up four existing landscape plants so they would not be damaged when removing the palm.

Our experience was amazing from beginning to end. When we called we had a delightful experience talking to Liz, who answered their phone. Steve came out within the week to give us an estimate, and he arrived promptly at the time promised. He spent a long time discussing our tree problems with us. One tree that we thought was in trouble was actually dead to the point where it would soon be too feeble to support the weight of the guys cutting it down. We hadn't budgeted to have two trees cut down, and he was great about offering different options, work wise, to help us stay within budget. In essence, he told us which parts of the project were most important, most dangerous, and most needed to be done. His price was great and we scheduled the work. His team arrived on the day we arranged and did a fantastic job trimming the trees, cutting down the dead trees and cleaning everything away. Our yard looks much emptier now, and we feel confident of our safety moving into hurricane season.
Description of Work: Gulf Coast Tree Care evaluated the trees in our yard, recommended cutting down two completely dead trees and pruned the other trees in our yard so they wouldn't threaten the house during hurricane season.
