I was very pleased from start to finish. Mr. Vivanco called me back and set up an appt. immediately, and then showed up on time the next day. After walking the property with me and hearing me describe what I needed done, he gave me an estimate, which I considered quite reasonable. He showed up early the next morning with two helpers, and they worked non-stop until 5 pm, accomplishing all of the things I had requested. I paid him with a check, and I've already recommended him to my father. He was courteous, cooperative, and proud of his work--he did a very clean and nice job, sealing up my oak trees as well.
Description of Work: I have a 2-acre lot; Mr. Vivanco: --trimmed my red-tip photinia hedge (about 30 feet long) --cut back my three crape myrtles --pruned my peach and plum trees --raised the canopy of three large groups of trees in my front and back yards --raised the canopy of my prize big oak --hauled off huge brush pile I had in my back yard --chopped and hauled the good wood leftover to my woodpile

I called three services to compare prices. One service couldn't come out for about 2 wks just to give an estimate. Jesus came out within a couple of days and provided a written estimate before he left. His price was much better than the other service for the same work. His crew showed up on time and worked steadily throughout the day. It was a two day job and they hauled everything away and cleaned up afterwards. they also painted all the cuts on the trees.
Description of Work: Complete removal of one 20 yr old elm tree and trimming of about 10 other large trees.

We were very pleased with the competitive price and quality of the job A Best provided. They weren't the most responsive people (we had to call to follow-up and our first scheduled appt. for an estimate was a no-show) However, what we were looking for was a quality job and a low price, and that's what we got. They were friendly, and trimming/clean-up was completed in just a few hours. We will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: A Best provided some basic tree trimming for our backyard. It was a pretty large job, as we hadn't done any trimming in the 3 years we've lived in our NW San Antonio home.

I contacted A Best Tree Service for a quote. The owner, Jesus, and his wife, came out and impressed me with his honesty and knowledge of the proper way to trim trees. He explained thoroughly how he would accomplish the task and stay within our budget. Since the city's large garbage pick-up service was scheduled for our area just 2 days later, A Best Tree Service was able to accommodate my needs and scheduled our tree-trimming service for the next day!! Their work was impeccable!! They considered both the health and the esthetics of our trees when performing their tasks, and afterwards, our trees looked neat, trim, symmetrical and absolutely beautiful!! Our canopy was raised, so we have more breeze through the yard, and a little more light filtering through the branches. The amount of trimming was just perfect! They stacked the huge pile of discarded limbs and branches neatly at the curb, being careful not to block our waterline or mailbox, and careful not to extend into the street. They blew off all the excess limbs, sawdust and acorns from our roof, cleaned up the trimmings from our yard, and left our property looking neat, clean, and beautiful!! We had cheaper quotes from other companies who drove through the neighborhood, soliciting business, but I am convinced that we got the "A Best" value for our money. A Best Tree Service does honest, fair, professional work in a timely manner. I can't say enough good things about our experience with this company. I look forward to doing business with them again in the future. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone and everyone looking for beautiful, professionally cared-for trees! Jesus is not only "A Best;" He is THE BEST!!!
Description of Work: Several large oak trees were trimmed back off the roof-top and away from the chimney area, the canopy was raised, and branches were removed to allow more light on to the yard. Two crepe myrtle trees were capped.

The gal taking the calls told me Jesus could come by that day between 5:00 and 6:00 to give me an estimate. We agreed on $265, and much to my surprise they started right away. I was pleased as am sure they had already had a full day of work. While they were on the roof, I asked if they would also clean the gutters which were very full of acorns, etc. They didn't hesitate. This was a nice surprise for my husband as he hates the job. Good trimming, nice clean gutters, good clean-up, a job well done. I paid them $285. Would definitely hire the crew again.
Description of Work: The original job was to elevate tree branches over my roofline 4' to 6' , clean up and carry off. After the work was started, I added the job of cleaning the gutters.

Jesus was very nice and provided a competitive estimate, but I did not use them.
Description of Work: They set up an appointment for an estimate, showed up 40 minutes early, then left - said they'd return and subsequently never returned - all without the courtesy of a simple phone call. I left work early and waited 3 1/2 hours due to their inability to keep a scheduled appointment. They showed up the next day at lunchtime without a call, when I just happened to be home. They were nice, but there seems to be a disconnect between the front office and the field.

I contacted Mr. Jesus Vivanco of A Best Tree Service on a Wednesday morning asking for an estimate to trim trees on my property. He came out that afternoon at the time agreed and I showed him which trees needed to be trimmed. He gave me an estimate that afternoon and he and his crew came out Friday of the same week to do the work. The results were fantastic! They were punctual, professional, courteous, hardworking, and did a great job cleaning up. In addition the fee was fair and reasonable. I have already recommended A Best Tree Service to friends and family, and I will contact them again in the future as needed.
Description of Work: Two large tree in the front of my home were trimmed. And neighbor's tree limbs growing into my yard and hanging over my patio roof were also trimmed back.

They arrived on time and started working right away. They worked on three trees in my backyard, cleaned up the small branches from the trunks and then removed larger lower limbs. The guy that cut the trees is an expert at this, so he made it look easy. He was much better than I have seen previously. All the large limbs were braced so they didn't fall on and damage my plants. Then they worked on my front tree, where I have a large flower bed that had suffered damage from previous trimmers, but not this time. Once again, he did a great job in leaving my plants undamaged. All of the debris was picked up from my yards and sidewalks, and cleaned off my roof. The crew was very helpful and worked quickly. The work they did was excellent for the price, and I will be using this company again.
Description of Work: I had four large trees thinned and their canopies raised. I also had all limbs overhanging my roof and all lower sucker branches removed.

Some branches of our old oak tree fall over our neighbor's yard and the damaged branches were balancing on some lower branches very close to and over our neighbor's fence. We knew it would be very tricky to remove the damaged branches without doing damage to our neighbor's property. Jesus did an excellent job of containing the damage with minimal spill into our neighbor's yard. He did a wonderful job of removing our tree stumps and and triming up another of our trees. He worked quickly and cleaned everything up. We have had many people over the years work on our trees and they were all disastrous. This was the absolute best experience we have ever had and we will have Jesus and his crew back in a heartbeat to work on our trees. He did a terrific job, was extremely helpful. Great experience!

My experience was just like all of Jesus's other customers who have reviewed him. He called back within an hour of the first phone call. He came by that same day and gave me an estimate. He showed up with his crew as scheduled. The work was done well and quickly. The crew cleaned up. In other words, another excellent job completed.

Very professional from the first phone call to the end of the job. All my phone calls were returned promptly and Jesus was on time for both providing an estimate and doing the work. I had called several other tree services and only Jesus had the courtesy of calling me back. His price was very reasonable and Jesus and his crew were very professional and courteous. They did an excellent job on the trees and had no problems with limbs that were hanging over the fence or over the house. I am very pleased with the results and I plan on calling them annually to keep my trees in good shape.
Description of Work: Trimmed and thinned two large trees and trimmed branches from a large tree from neighbors yard that was hanging on my roof. Trees had not been trimmed in many years and they required extensive work.

I contacted A Best Tree Service by text message. The response time was very fast. Jesus was at my house with an estimate within two hours. He actually arrived in 45 minutes. His crew came out the next morning at 9am and finished by 1pm. I had more questions after I met with Jesus and I just text them to him and he responded promptly. I will use A Best Tree Service in the future.
Description of Work: Jesus and his crew trimmed all our trees. We have a oversized estate lot with Live Oaks and Cedar trees. Also some Crepe Myrtles and a Rosebud tree. They trimmed all the trees that were hanging over our roof and shaped and trimmed the rest. They patched the oaks to prevent disease and cleaned and removed all debris.

Overall, I was very pleased with the responsiveness and service. I called the number on the website from Angie's List, and as I was leaving a message, Jesus was calling me back on Monday for a meeting to give an estimate the same day. He came out, walked the property, and provided me a quote for the work. When I asked how soon he could start, he promptly said maybe the next day. Done deal. He and his crew came out the first day and did the back of the house and on the second day, they completed the front and hauled away all the cuttings. They blew off all the leaves and they did an great job! I would definitely use them again, and in fact, I scheduled some other work with him for the future.
Description of Work: Tree trimming and pruning after strong winds and lots of rain. Trees were covering the roof and hanging in the gutters and the Jesus and his team at "A BEST TREE SERVICE" did a great job. They came out, cut back the limbs (large and small), and hauled away all the cuttings.

The owner came to look at the services we needed and gave us an estimate. We had 3 other companies give us estimates. A Best Tree Service was within dollars of the lowest estimate and several hundred lower than two estimates. The owner met the lowest bid. The crew's job was to take down a 50 year old tree that was dying and trim several oaks and other trees. The crew arrived as promised and completed the job as promised and left the yard very neat and did no damage to our yard which was a big concern since the last time we took down a big tree the crew dragged the trunk across the yard and created deep gouges in the yard. We were very, very happy with the work that was done and the price was very reasonable. The owner was very polite and did everything he said he would do.

This was our third time in a year to use Jesus and A Best tree Service. He was very busy due to the recent storm and all the tree damage it caused, but he came over promptly yesterday after my call and gave an estimate, and returned today to do the work. It took about 2 hours to complete the job and, as always, the work was more than satisfactory. He is always a pleasure to work with, and always has us inspect the finished work before we pay to make sure we are pleased. He has proven to be so prompt, efficient, and professional, and his prices are so very reasonable, that we don't even bother getting a second estimate anymore.
Description of Work: They cut down 5 trees and ground 6 existing tree stumps. They also cut and removed a large limb that broke during the recent storm and removed all debris.

Excellent. Jesus and his crew were here on time. He was very friendly and very knowledgable. I was extremely impressed with his work and his crew. They cleaned up the whole area before they left. The price was a lot cheaper than the tree man I used to use. Highly recommend! He even gave me a discount for finding him on Angie's List.

Excellent service. Jesus came out on Thursday afternoon at the time requested and provided us with an estimate. He even offered to trim another tree for $25. His estimate was very much lower than another tree service. I called him to setup date to get the work done on Friday night and he called Saturday morning asking if they could to it that morning. He showed up with his crew and did an excellent job. He cleaned up afterward and was very professional. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for tree service.

The whole experience was very good. Jesus was always quick to return phone calls. After his initial visit he was able to come out the next day to complete the work. Their price was less than half what other tree companies had quoted. Jesus and his crew arrived on time and immediately started to work. They removed a fruit tree I didn't want and barely left any stump. The palm tree was way overdue for a cleanup and they made it beautiful again. The deadwooding of the remaining trees was thorough and the new shape of the trees was good. When I returned home I was very pleased with the work and the clean up.
