We selected Austin Tree Specialists because we wanted advice from a licensed arborist. They responded to our inquiry promptly and the arborist (Pat) did a great job of responding to our questions. The crew arrived promptly at the promised time. They finished the work efficiently, did an outstanding job of clean-up, and left our yard in great shape. Plus our old pecan tree looks fantastic.

We live on Barton Creek Greenbelt, so we feel an added responsibility to make sure our trees stay healthy. We wanted to hire someone who was not only a tree expert, but someone who truly respected the importance of healthy trees and would do their best to preserve them - only cutting what needed to be cut, and doing so in a manner that preserved the best of what we had. We hired Patrick Wentworth and his team at Austin Tree Specialists because Pat is a Certified Arborist and he helped to develop the Texas Oak Wilt Prevention program. He was also the first Texas Oak Wilt Certified prevention specialist in the entire State of Texas (in fact his TOWC license number is literally # 0001).
Pat and his team did an excellent job! We have a very difficult lot (steep and rocky), but they made it look easy. When they were finished, the trees just looked healthy again - they had carefully trimmed away all of the dead branches, and were good about using pruning spray. They also did a good job of clearing away all of the trimmed branches. When I mentioned afterwards to Pat that I had one small concern, he immediately returned with his team to address it. I would recommend this company to anyone who feels a responsibility to do the best for their trees.

In dealing with me in working on this large tree contract, Pat Wentworth had the patience of Job and the wisdom of Solomon. His company's tree work was extremely well done and all debris cleaned up unbelievably well. He had to work on both sides of a street and in some narrow spaces and also very high up over roof tops. Brilliant tree work at a very reasonable price. For a fair price, we got the best of the best. Pat is an experienced arborist, one of the best tree persons in Austin. He also gave us invaluable common sense advice and suggestions in regard to the many trees here. Other tree companies, with little of his experience or qualifications, wanted to charge us just as much or more. This work was done, not at my home, but at a large condo complex with many old oak trees---and every owner who spoke with me later said the work was beautifully done. I heard not a single complaint, only compliments on the excellent trimming and shaping.

We are extremely pleased with Pat's work. We recently bought a home with a lot of mature trees that had not been cared for in recent years and obtained 4 estimates on tree removal and pruning. Pat seemed the most knowledgeable of the bidders, was fully insured, and offered the best overall price, so that made our choice easy. Pat's crew worked quickly and professionally. They carefully lowered limbs (unlike our neighbor's tree crew that dropped branches over the fence into our yard). We were particularly amazed at the cleanup because they left the property cleaner than when they arrived. As an added bonus, they mulched the pine tree for us to use in the garden. Even after the job was complete, Pat spent a lot of time walking the property with us and discussing the various plants and trees we had growing (what was good, what was bad, how to care for them). We will definitely contact Pat again should we have any questions about our greenery. Hire Pat! You will learn a lot from him!

I think they are real good and they know what they are doing. They have the degrees and credentials to back their work. They are expensive, but if you can afford to pay them, they are worth. You will also get to know a lot about your tress from them. They are quite punctual and they clean up after themselves.
