Mission City Arbor Group is awesome. Our trees love them. (We do too.) They've been out to our house three times (so far). We are on a 5-acre lot with blackjack and live oaks, mostly. In September 2023, we wanted to check the health of our biggest two trees (they call them “legacy oaks!”). They cleaned off the deadwood, assessed the health, and did a nutrient injection around the drip lines. We like our land a little wild, and we kind of like the branches that swoop low, and they were very careful to not over-trim. All the workers were very nice – when we went out to see how it was going, they seemed happy to see us and talk about what they were doing, how it was going, what they were finding, and the like. Every time they came out to give us an estimate, they were clearly about what was best for the trees, and never tried to sell me any extra services. The focus was the trees and what we needed. And the estimates were true; three for three, we paid what they quoted. We brought them out two more times (March 2024 and August 2024) to work on other trees, and it’s been a positive experience every time. We’re definitely using them again. PHOTOS SHOW THREE "BEFORE AND AFTER" SETS.
Description of Work: They assessed the health of our trees; trimmed the deadwood; did nutrient treatment (on two); identified any potential issues; and offered suggestions.

Mission City Arbor came out to quote a full property clean-up. So much deferred maintenance! Scott, owner and arborist came out and identified every bush and tree on the property --thank you--. We discussed clearing trees from touching roofs and structures, raising branch clearance higher than 5', tree health, clearing unbridled growth along the property and fence lines, and planned around preservation of privacy between neighbors. On the day of service, Scott arrived with Mauricio and team at the time scheduled. They were considerate of the property as they worked, asked for clarification as needed and left everything better than they found it --cleaned up ALL of the fallen leaves covering the yard. I seriously thought a troop of Boy Scouts had come through here, they left everything better than they found it. Will use their professional service again.

MCAG took down a dead tall palm tree and a small "volunteer" live oak too close to a fence. They also trimmed two tall pecan trees, 8 crape myrtles and a small red oak. They left barely any sawdust anywhere, and were careful with my flower garden that was located very close to the dead palm. The crew worked quickly and got it all done in one afternoon. I am happy that my trees are now in better shape to withstand weather and can continue with healthy growth.

So far, the experience has been great. (The stump grinding happens on a separate trip.) Scott Ford is very knowledgeable about trees, especially oaks. The estimate process was easy and he shared a lot of knowledge from his own experience. The next morning, the crew was here to fell 4 live oak trees that were too close to the house and trim a cedar tree. The work proceeded quickly and safely (care was taken to avoid damage to the house and property), the firewood was stacked neatly by the fence, the trimmings were chipped, and the property was cleaned up. The only ding I'd give them is that two of the workers were not wearing hard hats. I'll update when the stump grinding is completed.

They did very well, professional and throughly cleaned up. I was amazed how they could take such a big tree down that was practically split. Please give them a call!

They were quick and efficient. They removed a dead tree in my front yard and ground the stump down so nicely you could barely tell it was ever there.
