We have used Jon Chalker Alamo Tree Service in the past and were very pleased, so we called them again to fertilize our trees this year and also remove some dead branches and limbs that extended too far over our roof and also in our neighbor's yard. Jon also answered our questions regarding our 2-year old newer trees. His crew did a fantastic job cleaning up the debris in our yard and hauling everything off. Jon is very personable and trustworthy and we do recommend him to friends.
Description of Work: Alamo Arbor Care Tree Service heavily fertilized all of our trees - some very large. They also trimmed and thinned out some of the trees, removing dead limbs and heavier branches.

I called Jon Chalker after reading the great reviews on Angie's List and positive Better Business Bureau listing. He came the same evening, walked the half acre yard with me to establish the estimate. He told me a lot about the type and condition of my trees. Jon is knowledgeable, easy going and friendly. He gave a fair estimate and called in less than a week with an opening. He and his crew of 6 looked like a military convoy when they arrived! They were on time, quick and efficient the entire 10 hour day. The crew worked very hard, were responsive to requests and extremely polite. Jon capped a perfect job by planting 6 junipers I had on hand for my husband's weekend project, for no charge!
Description of Work: Removed 1 large tree and 4 smaller trees. First time clean up of dozens of live oaks and juniper cedars, raising the canopy considerably and removed dead wood. Removed 5 4-5 inch diameter stumps and ground down 6 stumps. Removed and chipped all downed wood, raked the entire yard clean. I also bought 3 beautiful new trees from Jon, planted and guaranteed for 1 year, for another $893.

We had one dead tree that was over the house and very dangerous. I would not have believed that they could get it down without hitting the roof...but I saw them do it and they did! They were complete professionals and even trimmed the trees in front (that were not part of the bid) because they had an idle guy...and did not charge me extra. Then the owner said he could deliver a tree (because we removed two) and plant it for 200.00. They did that as well and it looks great. I got the whole job done for about what another guy had bid just to remove one dead tree. They were truly professionals. The guy that the did the actual climbing and cutting was an artist. I will never use another company for this kind of work and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing any kind of tree service.
Description of Work: Completely removed two trees, trimmed a bunch of other trees, ground the stumps to nothing. Carried debris up 65 steps from the lake to haul off. Planted one tree where the two were removed from. Cleaned up every branch and all debris.

I called Jon on a Saturday morning to have him come by to give me a quote on trimming 10 trees. He came by that afternoon, gave me a quote and I decided to go ahead and have him trim the trees. He had his crew come on Monday. His workers were courteous and efficient and completed the project on Tuesday. My yard was cleaned up of all of the branches and debris from the trees. When they were done it was hard to tell they had even been there except that my trees looked 100% better. They also removed a stump from an old tree that I had another firm cut down several months earlier. I was very impressed by Jon's professionalism and by the work that was done. I would recommend Alamo City Arbor Care to anyone needing tree service.

This was a big purchase for us and we feel we picked the right company for the job.
Description of Work: Jon came to our house the same day we called and gave us a bid. We checked other companies and he had the lowest price. His crew came the next day and did a great job! They cleaned up everything and were very professional. We would use them again. Jon is a very trusting, respectful person.

From start to finish they were professional and prompt. Jon and his crew came out and trimmed three trees on my property and cleaned up after they were done. Jon even talked to my neighbor and reassured him they would not cut too much off his tree, which was hanging over my fence.

I can not say too much about this tree trimming company. Jon Chalker, the owner is outstanding, knowledgeable, friendly, professional, competitive in price, and just a very nice man. The workers were here to do the job and worked hard~ three days worth. My yard is beautiful now and before I called it a yard of ugly trees. In fact, I really call it...Elegant!!! They left the yard completely raked and cleaned up. An excellent experience....

In one word WOW! Jon came out to my property and walked the grounds with me pointing out the type of trees and plants that I have and recommending care for the trees and plants. Note: I hadn't hired him yet. When I decided to hire him, he completed the project in less than 48 hours. His employees were friendly and professional. Jon has got it right, superior customer service and attitude!

Jon and three employees arrived about 8 AM. They cut down and completely removed one entire tree, extensively trimmed and reduced the height of four large pecan trees, and trimmed/ thinned out three large oak trees and completely removed them. They also raked my yard so clean you cannot find a twig or chip anywhere. The dropped limbs were chipped into a truckload of mulch, from which they gave me as much as I could use... three huge mounds I can use in for yard work.
Description of Work: Tree limb trimming, "topping", and chipping. Final cleanup.

I called John on December 28, and he came out about 1 1/2 hours later to give me a bid. He planned to do the work on the following day, but the weather was very bad that day with rain and sleet, and he called while he was on the way to my house and rescheduled for the next day. They arrived as scheduled at 8:30 on the 30th and except for a short lunch beak were here until 4:00. They did an excellent job. When they finished there was so much debris under all the trees I didn't see how they could possibly get it all cleaned up. But, when they left it was so clean you couldn't tell they had been here. Except for how great all the trimmed trees looked! They even blew the remaining dirt, etc. off the driveway and walkways as they left.
Description of Work: John Chalker and his crew of 4 men removed approximately 12 very large native trees that had died during the drought. They also trimmed out dead areas and shaped about 25 other trees including a huge native live oak.

Jon and his crew did a wonderful job. I couldn't be more pleased. They were there on time every day. When they finished, they cleaned up the driveway and picked up around them. They were hard workers and very pleasant and polite. I would hire them again to work on my yard and I will have them trim my trees again when needed.
Description of Work: After this summer of no watering, my front and backyard were a mess! The grass was dead and the weeds were growing. Weeds were growing where there should have been lawn and in the flower beds. Jon, owner of Alamo City Arbor Care, came to my rescue. His crew cleaned out all the flower beds, installed weed blocker and mulched the flower beds. They removed the dead grass and weeds and tilled the dirt in preparation for the new sod. His crew did this for the front and backyard. They removed the weeds around my trees, installed weed blocker and mulched the areas. I have 2 trees next to my drive and lawn; Jon put in brick edging next to my lawn around the trees. He made sure that the brick edging matched the bricks on my house. The area looks beautiful! He fixed some problem drainage areas that I had. His crew trimmed approximately 8 trees around my house and then trimmed a couple more without charging me extra. He did extra work for me and didn't charge me more than what was the initial cost.

After reading the reviews here, I decided to call them. Jon was very responsive. Came out immediately and gave me an estimate. They did the work the next day. Everyone on the crew was extremely nice and very polite. When they were through, they left my yard cleaner than when they arrived! I would not hesitate referring them.
Description of Work: Our trees were in desperate need of trimming. We have quite a few trees on our lot--several of which required them to climb up into. They cut down limbs hanging over our roof, trimmed dead wood, & gave them a good shape-up. They did an outstanding job cleaning up when they were through.

Excellent work and timely. During the job the crew accidentally dented one of the front gutters, Jon took care of it, no questions asked. Don't hesitate to call this company, they'll do you right!
Description of Work: Talked to Jon Weds, accomplished the estimate Thurs morning and started work the same day. Had a new home built with 6 large live oaks, all 25-40 ft tall, never been trimmed. 3 guys worked a solid day and a half doing an excellent job removing all the small dead branches, the moss build-up which was extensive, cut back limbs from the house as well as trimmed a few broken larger branch stubs.

He answered the phone the first time we called and came immediately to give us an estimate. The price was the lowest I've ever paid for tree service by far. The next day, 2 crews came over, trimmed and mulched my 5 live oaks, cleaning up nicely afterward. The trees are all much taller than the two story house. The day after the work was done he came back and made sure we were happy with the service and accepted the agreed payment with the Angie's list magazine coupon discount.
Description of Work: They trimmed 5 live oaks adjacent to our home, 3 of which were hanging over the roof and sitting on the shingles. They removed all the moss balls on the 5 trees and sprayed sealant on all the cut areas. They also mulched all the cuttings and left us the mulch pile at our request. They cleaned up all the small trimmings and left the area they worked looking very clean.

Jon came out the same day I called and gave me an estimate which sounded fair and I told him to do the work. They were out the next day and performed the work to my satisfaction, but when Jon came by to inspect his crew's work, he said that they had missed a few spots that they should have trimmed, so he sent them back the next day to get it perfect. He declined my offer to pay that first day, saying "not until I'm satisfied". Folks, it doesn't get any better than that in my book.

The results were excellent! I talked to Jon (Arborist) on the day before the work began. The company showed up on time as agreed and did the work. There were no surprises or changes in the work. The tree was large and the shredded limbs filled the truck attached to the shredder. The additional lumber filled a pickup truck. They cleaned up the debris and the site was neat and clean when the departed.

Within an hour of my initial call Mr. Chalker was at my home and gave me a price. Although it was a little higher than I had anticipated, after reviewing other reports I felt reassured that he would do a good job. Within another hour he had a crew there did the work agreed upon, raked whole area and was finished in less than another hour. I was pleased to give him my payment.

Jon's workers showed up on a Saturday morning at the time they said they would, 0830. They brought a large wood chipper so they could dispose of all debris on site. They worked until it started raining, about half way done. Came back following Monday and finished the job. We are very pleased how it turned out. They cleaned up after themselves pretty well since I had to look at the trees to be certain they had finished.

Getting ready to replace roof and had trees trimmed away from roof and out of wires. John came and gave us a very fair estimate on the day that we called, and sent a crew out within the week. The crew did a great job and cleaned up everything. They did miss getting a few branches out of the wires on first pass, but came back and finished up within a couple of weeks.

Excellent, John's crew was very professional from the beginning, starting work without any fuss. They were very respectful of the landscaping, moving plants that were in planters away from where they were working and keeping debris off of shrubs. They arrived on Monday at 10:30 and worked that day until almost 6PM. There were back on site the next morning at 8 and worked until about 1:30PM. They shredded the debris on site and did a wonderful job cleaning up after themselves. They actually left the work site cleaner than it was when they got here.
Description of Work: John's crew trimmed and de-mossed 12 Live Oaks and two Cedar Elms, along with trimming five Mountain Laurels and a Crepe Myrtle for a total of 20 trees that his crew worked on. I called John on a Saturday Morning, he came and provided an estimate while on site that afternoon and began working on the project on Monday afternoon, finishing up on Tuesday.
