Outstanding. Carl provided an accurate assessment, advising on trees are of concern in addition to the ones that were fine to stay. I was very impressed with how much the did without ripping up lawns and bringing in heavy equipment. I felt I could do business with a hand shake, which is uncommon today. Carl and his team are true pros.

Halas Arborists did an excellent job on pruning our oak trees. The trees had gotten very overgrown and Carl Halas was able to clean them up while still maintaining a very nice shape. Carl is both an experienced arborist and careful operator. His crew was very nice and they cleaned up the area completely. Definitely recommend!

Very professional and responsive, Carl and his crew came and spent one complete day and one half day at my property pruning and raising the canopy on roughly two dozen trees in my yard along with removing a very large dead pine tree. At the end of each day they had cleaned up so well you would never had known they had been there. We are very happy with the quality of his work and will have him back in March to do the back yard.

Carl showed up on time and removed a large tree and stump. We have had Carl do multiple jobs in our yard. His crew does great work and they clearly know what they are doing. Our neighbors have requested his information as well. Very pleased with Halas Arborists.

Mr. Halas came to our house to see what needed to be done for our trees, provided a list of what he would do, gave us a price and made an appointment. We forgot that we had plans for the scheduled day and he kindly agreed to come the day after the scheduled date.
Mr. Halas and an employee came on time, did all the work on the list and left the yard perfectly clean of all debris.
We had them trim a large cherry tree in the front yard and cut a large poison ivy root on a different tree in the front yard. In the back yard they removed large branches from a very tall tree that were in the way of the swimming pool. They cut down trees and branches that were encroaching on the side and back of our garage, pruned low branches from several trees, cut down other small trees and removed a dead tree that had fallen in the back yard.
We had used Halas Arborists several years ago and were impressed that they were able to remove a huge tree that was between our pool and a neighbor's yard with no damage to anything around it. We highly recommend their work.

I can't say enough good things about Halas Arborists and its owner, Carl Halas. He and his crew did an outstanding job removing an elm tree that had contracted root rot. We had two bidders on the job, and he came in with the lowest bid by quite a lot.
On the day of the job, he showed up on time and got right to work. About five hours later, the job was completed, including grinding out the stump. He cleaned up the back patio and the driveway -- you'd never know he had been there, except for the fact that where there was once a tree, there was only a hole in the ground that we easily filled in.
This was a big, mature tree, and he and his crew took it down, one piece at a time, without the use of a crane. It was all done with ropes and pulleys, so there was no possibility of cracking the driveway, because there was no crane. Carl Halas climbed up the tree, attached ropes to the branches, and as they were cut off, his associate would gently lower them to the ground. There was no danger to the other trees in the area, or to our fence or house.
So, if you live the Charlotte, NC area, and you need a tree removed, make your first call to Carl Halas, (704) 544-7575 [office] or (704) 572-5925 [mobile].

He had removed a couple trees when our pool was built and did a great job, so when we decided to take a few more out to increase the sun exposure to the pool, we called him again. We had four large trees removed in the backyard, two of them close to the pool in very tight spaces with landscaping and a fence within a couple feet. They worked for four straight days to take the trees down, remove all debris, and grind the stumps. There was not one bit of damage to the yard, fence, or landscaping. In fact, with the exception of the sawdust, there was no evidence that they had been there. I cannot say enough good things about Karl and his work. A pleasure to work with.

I came home on a Thursday night to a large tree limb that had half broken off and was laying across my front yard. I called Carl on Friday as he was recommended to me by my lawn care provider.
Carl took a look at the tree that Friday afternoon to give me an estimate. He came out Saturday morning and had the job done within 30 min.
Overall, very happy with the quick response, professionalism and work done. I would recommend Halas Arborists and use their services again.

Another excellent experience from the initial call until completion of the work. As repeat customers, we continue to be very pleased with Carl's expertise and results. Included in the quality work performed, he staggered the hollies on the side of our house to allow sunlight to get to the one in the back. They look great!

Carl was great to work with. He answered the initial call and was out to look at the tree in a couple of days. This was a large tree that required a full day's work. Everything was cleaned up. I would definitely use Carl again.

I had called several arborists to get a quote for tree trimming. Halas Arborists was a notch above everyone else. I found their ad in the yellow pages & when I called their phone #, Halas came out to my house right away to look at my tree. What impressed me the most was Carl (owner) sees the entire project through. He comes out & looks at your tree and he does the climbing and trimming himself. Another thing I liked was that Halas doesn't leave a mess behind after trimming. They cleaned my yard so well that I didn't notice any scraps from the tree. I had my tree trimmed a few years ago by a company that was not a certified arborist and the difference between how my tree looked then as opposed to now is like night and day. A couple of other arborists I called sent sales reps out but they were not to the level of detail of Halas Arborists. Also, Halas quoted me my price in late 2011 and honored the price when he trimmed my tree in May 2012.
*An added bonus* After telling Halas we were going to put mulch around our tree, he informed us that we could use the mulch that he collected from the tree trimming. He also told us if we need any more in the future he would be glad to deliver it for free.

Carl was professional, punctual and knowledgeable. He explained how to care for the trees/shrubs after his work. I would hire him again and would recommend him without hesitation. We nominate his firm for a Page of Happiness.

Mr. Halas came to my house on a Saturday afternoon, checked out my boxwoods, answered all my questions and gave me a firm quote for the work to be performed. He came back the following Friday and performed the work as promised, cleaned up the area and left without being paid since I was not at home. He e-mailed me and said if I was satisfied I could send him a check. Not many people would do that!

This experience was excellent. We have used a lot of tree companies over the years and the bulk of them have been disappointing/scary experiences. Carl was extremely patient, trustworthy, honest, competent and hard-working. He (and his worker) came when he said he would, did what he said he would and went above and beyond by taking down another dead tree that was back by our creek. We had talked about it but didn't want to spend anymore on tree work right now, however, I had concerns as our kids would play back there for their safety. He shared with us that he would not recommend grinding out the stumps of the trees that were removed on the bank and that would help with erosion control. That is something we may not have thought of and appreciated the tip. There was also a young dogwood very close to the area where they were working that I had requested if possible be left standing. I don't know how they did it, but they did! We flagged our irrigation system and they were careful with their heavy equipment not to run over any of the sprinkler heads. We have a very wooded lot and will have ongoing tree removal needs for years to come and know that we will call Halas Arborists the next time too.

It went great from beginning to end; he told me some things that we needed to do and also some things that we didn't need to do. Whenever a contractor tells me we shouldn't do something that he would have otherwise gotten paid for, I pretty much trust him in the other things he tells me.

They had a good price and they did a really nice job. The cost was about $500 and I swapped out a website for the price. They do excellent work and they are professional. Their quality is good and they are punctual. I like the fact that they did the work by hand and didn’t bring in any heavy equipment.

Carl and James did a fabulous job! Before the work was done our home was both obscured and encroached upon by overgrown trees. They took up the canopies, thinned out the branches and then shaped the trees and they artistically trimmed our overgrown bushes. As a result, many of our neigbors stopped by to find out who had done the work and then in three cases that I know of they hired Carl to do the same type of work for them in their yards.
