Jared came out promptly and gave us an estimate to cut down a large dead Locust tree that also had a smaller hackberry tree trunk conjoined to it so he would have to cut down both. At the time we had a semi-dead oak he was going to trim. His initial estimate was $1,375. The day before he came, we called and asked about changing the oak to a total cut so he was prepared with the time and revised estimate when he arrived. It was $2000 to remove all. He also cut down 2 smaller hackberry trees for no charge. He began the job swiftly with 2 others to help him. He ended up leaving the site and another guy showed up but nothing was missed and the work continued. We have many obstacles in our backyard....shed, porch, fence, pool, many other trees but they were able to work around it all. We were pleased with their thorough clean up of the site. Our porch roof was covered in acorns from the half dead oak and while they were up there they blew off the roof and not one acorn remained. They also were great about cleaning up the yard of all the debris. We have yet to have the stumps ground, that will be next week and will cost about $275. We had other companies estimate the work and one guy wanted $1,900 just for the dead Locust.
They came on the day and time scheduled, did a great job with the work and with cleanup. The stumps were ground out two days later.
It was awesome to work with them! They had: Great communication, the lowest bid by far, very professional work with great clean up and they communicated well with me. I highly recommend Absolute Tree Service and will have them come again for our tree needs!
They drug huge branches around the house and scattered landscape rock from the side of the house to the street. One guy tried to clean this up, but he received little help. My husband and I spent several hours cleaning the mess up and picking rocks out of our grass and the neighbor's grass. This was a tricky area to navigate, but they could have easily avoided the mess if they had cut the branches a little smaller and lifted them over the rock rather than drag them.
Potted plants that I thought were safe on the sidewalk next to the house were not. The plants were knocked over by a branch that came very near the house, and the plants were severely damaged. NO apology! When I saw the total mess left, I was shocked and disappointed. (I can't rate my husband here, but I wish he had spoken up since he was out there. It really should not be necessary to supervise the work when you hire professionals.)
The crew was friendly and polite, but I didn't see the pride in their work or respect for my property I had hoped there would be.
The stump grinding took place a week later. That went well.
We watched them take down a large tree in our neighbor's yard several months earlier and were impressed with the work they did on that, too. In terms of cost, they were the lowest cost bid we received. We are very happy with their work and will use them again.
They were a little slow getting to the job but the weather this spring was bad so the delay was probably due to that.
I would absolutely recommend the company for any tree removal.
The communication was great. I called the company on a Tuesday and they were able to go out and do a free estimate by Thursday. We agreed on the services to be done, and scheduled a time for the team to come out.
Absolute had an opening on an earlier day, and were able to complete the job before the scheduled time. I wasn't on site for the work, but came out later that day, and everything was completed to my expectations and beyond. The team had completed work on the trees agreed upon, cleaned up, and definitely added to the aesthetic value of my new (to me :)) house.
Having seen many trees felled when I was on a survey crew, I had considered taking the tree down myself, as a considerable challenge; but would have had to buy a chain saw and rope, rent a dumpster, and haul many large pieces up hill to the driveway. And it was risky. My relieved wife and I are very pleased. Considering the crew and the equipment involved, this was a real bargain.
