Tree reviews in Moody, Alabama

Adam absolutely knows his stuff! With one glance he knew exactly what was wrong with my tree, and exactly how to deal with it! Great company with exceptional service. Can't recommend enough.

These guys did an amazing work in our yard, taking out 17 trees in one day! They were kind, timely, great with clean up and very thorough. In fact, two of them even went above and beyond by coming back to put up our new tree swing! Their stump grinder contractor does excellent as well. Highly recommend “The Arborist” to anyone for any kind of tree service. We have phases planned out for their next services based on the needs of the trees on our property AND on our budget. Thank you The Arborist Tree Service!

We had a large limb that fell and we needed another tree trimmed. The Arborist showed up promptly and did a great job. The trees look great. They trimmed the trees and cleaned everything up after. I did not have to clean up anything.

Great experience with Adam the Arborist and his VP, Nichole. I learned a lot on the initial meeting and look forward to creating a plan and seeing it through.

Professional, knowledgeable, honest and fair describes all the young men who completed my tree work. They did a very good job removing, trimming, and pruning several large trees.

Thank’s Adam. Your crew was great. They were super easy to talk to, they explained everything they were going to do, and then they executed the tree removal with controlled precision!! It was impressive to watch! I called the Arborist second after another company wasn’t able to safely remove a dead tree. I highly recommend using them!

They did a huge job 54 pine trees at least 200 foot tall. Will definitely call the arborist for any and all tree needs. A+ & 5⭐️

From talking on the phone , to meeting in person, Adam and his Wife Nicole, made us feel so comfortable in answering all of our questions. You can tell not only are they knowledgeable about anything to do with trees, but also passionate about the work. The company gives fair pricing and is quick to respond. This company is definitely our go to for anything else tree service related in the future!

We had a 60’ willow tree fall on the corner of our side porch, precariously perched on the corner and could possibly fall creating more damage. I called them yesterday and like super heroes of tree removal they arrived at about 11 AM and before 2PM they had limbed up the tree then called in a crane, completely removed the tree. They weren’t finished, their very professional and polite crew swept, blew and picked up any remnants leaving our driveway better than it was before they arrived. Seriously, what more could you ask for?!? Having a tree fall on your house is traumatic enough without dealing with people who promise but don’t deliver. You feel very vulnerable not really knowing what to expect- this was new ground for us, but we trusted the right people. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Arborists for any job based on efficiency, courtesy (they checked with every neighbor who was available to ensure their ease of access was provided during a brief but impassible period) and economy.. Jobs like ours (involving a crane/tree size/location) are complicated and they aren’t inexpensive but their pricing is very reasonable. If you can find somebody better then yay for you but I think you’ll pick a lemon before you find this peach. Contact the owner if you want to talk to me and I’d be happy to tell you about my experience. 5 stars all day long.

Adam Lyons, Robert Oden, & James Lightesy worked for 6 hours on Sunday on a 130 foot pine tree that cracked in my yard and was going to hit my neighbor's house. They came back on Monday and 2 hours later that felled it between both our houses with ZERO damage to either property. These guys were hard working, dedicated, and amazing at their craft. If you need tree work this is your crew. They have our business for life

The crew did an exceptional job of meticulously removing trees that posed a significant threat to the safety of my home. They also cleared away several diseased trees and overgrown foliage, transforming my yard into a safer and more open space. Their professionalism and expertise were truly impressive, and I wholeheartedly recommend this company for any tree removal needs. Without a doubt, I will hire them again in the future.

Our OLD oak tree broke and fell on our house during a storm.
Adam arrived 45 minutes after my first phone call to my insurance agent. Talk about fast!!
Within 4 hours, the limbs were clear from the house and the rest of the tree removed. Adam worked with my insurance adjuster without me having to handle any of that.
The guys on crew were all amazing! They work fast and efficiently. One of them even blew off my elderly neighbor's driveway.
Not only will we always call Adam and crew for our work, but we have already sent them to friends who also used them. The Arborist will be my go to tree service forever.

We had a fantastic experience with this arborist. They came out and gave our HOA an excellent price for several tree removals and trims that needed to be done. We checked with three different companies, and none of them even came close to the value we received.

They met or exceeded every request we had and were extremely professional throughout the entire process. The crew did a great job cleaning up after themselves, and the property looks so much better now.

Highly recommend them to anyone needing tree work done!

I can’t say enough good things about The Arborists Tree Service in Shelby County, Alabama. I had several mature pine trees on my property that were either dead, declining, or infested with pine beetles, and I wanted the job handled the right way. From the first call to final cleanup, the experience exceeded expectations.

Setting up the appointment was easy and straightforward. Adam, who served as my consulting arborist and primary point of contact, was prompt, communicative, and genuinely knowledgeable. He walked the property with me, took the time to explain what was happening with each tree, and offered clear, thoughtful guidance without any pressure. What really impressed me was their digital annotation system — each tree was marked and photographed, so there was zero confusion later.

Everything was documented and transparent.
About two weeks later, the crew arrived fully equipped and ready to work. They were professional, organized, and respectful throughout the entire day. I had over six mature pine trees removed — including beetle-infested trees that were becoming a real concern — and they completed the entire project in a single day. Watching that level of coordination and efficiency was impressive. When they finished, the property was left clean and orderly, as if the trees had never been there.

What truly stood out, though, was the character of the team. They worked hard, maintained a positive attitude, and even offered me a slice of pizza during their lunch break. It was a small gesture, but it said a lot about the kind of people they are — approachable, down-to-earth, and proud of their work.

If you’re looking for dependable tree removal, pine beetle mitigation, or a knowledgeable arborist in the Birmingham or Shelby County area, I would confidently recommend The Arborists. It’s rare to find a company that combines expertise, efficiency, and genuine character the way they do.

Today I met with Adam from The Arborist who performed a comprehensive risk assessment of the trees on my property. Adam was extremely informative as he examined each tree and conveyed which trees were healthy and which trees had conditions that could be treated. Most importantly, he identified a large tree near my patio that could potentially fail & damage my home. I feel I learned a lot today and it was definitely worthwhile to have the risk assessment performed by an arborist who had obtained certification in the process.
The Arborist crew is scheduled to return later this month to take care of our property.

Update 3-18-25, our problem trees have been removed. Cutting crew did an absolutely excellent job and the stumps were removed with precision this morning. No damage to yard or patio and all the remaining trees were treated to keep them healthy! This was top of the line service at a fair price, very satisfied!

We are knew to the area, I had heard some tree cutting going on in my neighborhood one day, saw all their equipment and went over and asked for a business card. This business is ISA Certified Arborist!!! Meaning they care , they continue to gain knowledge, wisdom and current training. Adam is very knowledgeable, gave us our quote which was very fair. We had a huge tree with three big trunks, a water oak that was dead and they trimmed the oak out front by the power line (thank you). They also injected the live tree as it had oak borers. This was a two day job, the stump was ground promptly three days later. I highly recommend these professional arborist that know what they are doing, care about what they are doing and enjoy what they are doing.

After our neighbors roof was severely damaged due to a shady and inexperienced tree trimming service, I was extremely nervous about finding the right company to cut down three HUGE trees with super long branches extending over our cars, chicken coop and home. Now I am SO thankful we went with the Arborist. If I could leave them ten stars I would. The cost was beyond fair. They were on time, professional, and most of all did a fantastic job at cutting down three HUGE trees very close to my house. I was so stressed about the process but their expertise and precision was impeccable. Every branch fell exactly where it was supposed to. One in particular was an Oak about sixty feet tall that was over two feet thick leaning toward my house. I would use them again and again and truly recommend them. With storms only getting worse I know I can sleep better knowing my family is safe thanks to this team. Very nice people too and they provided me with their insurance and all legal documentation happily.

Unmatched expertise, integrity, and advocacy — Adam is the real deal

We cannot say enough good things about The Arborist, and especially Adam. After a major tree incident at our home, we were in an incredibly stressful situation involving significant safety concerns and complex insurance issues—and Adam was truly invaluable every step of the way.

Adam is not just knowledgeable about trees; he deeply understands tree failure, root systems, and risk assessment—and, critically, he knows insurance. He understands how claims work, what documentation matters, how reports are interpreted, and what homeowners actually need in order to be protected. That knowledge alone sets him apart.

What truly went above and beyond is that Adam showed up in person for a meeting with our insurance company—something he absolutely did not have to do. He even brought his wife with him. Their presence, professionalism, and support spoke volumes. Adam advocates for what is right, and he genuinely stands up for his clients when it matters most.

His evaluation was thorough, precise, and meticulously documented. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered every question we had, and ensured that the facts were presented accurately and professionally. Adam does not exaggerate—but he also does not back down.

I would also strongly recommend Adam to anyone with a yard full of trees, even outside of an emergency. He can assess the health of each tree, evaluate potential risks, and recommend preventative treatments or maintenance to help avoid future problems. That kind of proactive expertise is invaluable—especially for homeowners who want to protect both their property and their peace of mind.

What stood out most was his integrity. No shortcuts. No pressure. No fear-based recommendations. Just expertise, honesty, and a genuine commitment to doing things correctly and safely.

We felt supported and protected every step of the way. We plan to have Adam continue to come out regularly in the future to monitor our trees, assess their health, and help us proactively manage any risks. Knowing we have a true expert keeping an eye on our property brings incredible peace of mind.

If you are dealing with storm damage, tree failure, or an insurance-related situation—or simply want a knowledgeable professional to help you care for the trees on your property—Adam at The Arborist is who you want. We recommend him without hesitation.
