Tree reviews in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Stopped by for firewood. Really nice guy,
Fair price on split firewood. From out of town so it was nice to find this place.

The estimated showtime was between 12 and 2 PM. At 2:30pm they had still not showed up so I called them, and they told me they had mechanical issues....3pm they showed up. I will not be doing business with this company.

Albert came out for an evaluation of our tree. Super knowledgeable. Shared a lot of info, will be back next week to spray the trees.

Not a reputable company. One man show. Rude. Immature. Highly suggest taking your tree needs to ANY other company. Bottom of the barrel with Bob Rundo Tree Surgeon and Albert Godec.

We've been using these folks for years - trimming out out trees and spraying our spruce.... Albert has always been thoughtful and more than willing to explain his reasoning - prices are fair and the crew has always done a good job of picking up....

These guys are crooks. They destroyed property and when I pointed it out they basically said, "too bad"
Bad attitudes and rude. There are too many five star tree services in colorado springs to put up with guys like this. Do not recommend at all - ever.

Ugh! Mis-diagnosed fire blight. Set an appointment time for them to come out, didn't show up, didn't call. When I called them, they said they were too busy and would come out when they had time, maybe in a day or two. They did finally show up, but I would say don't waste YOUR time with them.

The 2 guys were kind professional and fast. They did all i asked and they borh smiled the whole time...this company has been around for a very long time and my family has always used their services and always will!!

Bob Rundo Tree Surgeon cut down a crazy messy Cottonless Cottonwood tree in my front yard. I asked to have the stump left about 5 ft tall since I hired a chainsaw artist to carve a 5' chimp. The guys told me they left the stump 7 ft because the artist may want to have the carving on a pedestal and if I wanted them to come back and make it shorter they would. Thank goodness they knew what they were doing because indeed the carver DID want to have the Chimp on a 2' pedestal! Lots of companies don't bother to think through a project to make sure it is the correct thing to do. I was VERY happy I didn't end up with a 3' Chimp on a 2' pedestal and it would not of been nearly as awesome! Thanks Bob Rundo!!

Trees in my neighborhood were turning brown and dying. Bob Rundo Tree Surgeon told us it was Bark Beetle and they sprayed as a preventative. However, this spring we noticed a few pine trees on our property turning brown. I contacted other tree companies and was told Bark Beetle has not been seen in our neighborhood and the cause was Pine Needle Scale. The other companies showed me the scale. Now we may lose a few trees and have to pay hundreds of dollars to remove them. In my opinion, using Bob Rundo Tree Surgeon was a waste of time and money. This probably would not have happened if they had properly diagnosed the Pine Needle Scale and sprayed for it instead of Bark Beetle. As such, I cannot recommend this company.

Awesome service! Three friendly guys arrived around noon, took down 9 Aspens, cut off the stumps at the ground, chipped the limbs, loaded the logs, raked the entire yard, and were gone before 2. All at a price no one else could touch. Hopefully I don't need them again but will definitely use them if I do.

Dishonest owner. Hired him to trim 4 of my many trees. His company ended up trimming the wrong tree & refused to admit the mistake. Also the young men who came to trim were not Arborists & they left a mess of my yard. They picked up larger branches, but did not pick up smaller branches and twigs. Was a great company when the father ran the business.

Requested an onsite estimate on 3/11/20 for trimming lower branches off 2 trees in response to their flyer ad. In mid April called for status. Was told they were very busy and had closed for a time due to virus but they would get to the job. No call backs by Rundo in the interim. Called again on 5/22/20. Was given same excuse. Asked for date that service could be performed. Was told that they could not give me a date. Told them to cancel my order. Bottom line: Lousy customer service.

August 2016 - Overall not a terrible experience.

Admittedly my first experience with having multiple trees removed. Also, the quality of service in general in COS is typically a lower bar than many other cities within the United States.

Cons
-Workers in quite a hurry to leave my property after the stumps were ground down
-Left cigarette butts, orange peels, gate off hinges (had to ask to have it put back on)
-Several pickets on my fence were destroyed (It happens, I get it)
-Like pulling teeth to convince staff at the office (Albert) to make good on a 3 pickets that the customer (me) had determined was their fault. In the end, 3 out of 6 were determined by Albert to actually be their fault.

All that said , here are the
Pros:
+Receptionist was very helpful and polite
+Workers very polite
+Albert very polite
+All my trees were removed quickly
+Stuck to original quote from a year ago
+Showed up to do the work at a reasonable time

In summary, if you want to go with these guys, just make sure you take pictures of you're sections of fence or whatever else could end up as collateral damage.

I am a principal man, and in this case I would hope that
A) they would trust the customer a bit and
B) Even if they are convinced that the customer is wrong, why not go the extra "mile" and replace 10 dollars worth of pickets for a $1000+ job? If the time it takes to do that is too costly, why not negotiate a small discount form the overall price.

I'm not excited to recommend them, but if you know what small foxes might show up to spoil the vines, you may indeed be prepared to enjoy the rest of the good work they do.

Quick at setting an appointment and evaluating my tree, but I decided against using them because the prices were more than a little steep. As in, what he quoted me was more than my monthly mortgage heh. Otherwise I don't have any other complaints. Very informative.

We agreed upon an estimate over a year ago and they never came out. We scheduled twice and they kept moving it back (due to the weather knocking down trees all over the city). Totally understandable. But I have called and called and no one answers and they refuse to come out. Disappointing because I really liked them and hoped to use them but it’s not looking like that will happen.

Great experience overall. Asked them to trim two large Elm trees and remove one dying elm. There were significant delays due to weather and a busy season - but being busy is a good thing and they attract a lot of business. These guys are the best. Little messy on the jobsite but they do excellent work!

I'm not sure what's happened with Bob Rundo Tree Surgeon. They used to be an awesome company. We were initially referred by friends +several years ago) and we're very satisfied with the work they did trimming an oak tree and treating fire blight in some crabapples.
This time around has been a completely different experience. We hired them to trim an American Elm for us. The quote was steep ($950) but we knew they did good work.
They came out late summer of 2019 and said it was best to trim the tree when it was dormant, which they said they would do. The following spring (this year) the work had not been done. I called and they did schedule again and trim the tree.
It's now been 3 months. They have been out twice (the 2nd time trimming a different tree and sending a new invoice with an additional $475 charge) and the originaltoriginal still has a very large dead branch high in the canopy, as well as lots of smaller dead branches throughout. Just got a third statement today for $975.
Albert, please contact me so I can have you finish the job, pay you, and be done with Bob Rundo Tree Service!

I have used Bob Rundo Tree Surgeon for 25 years to fertilize my trees, spray against a pine beetle infestation, and to prune my trees. Most recently, I used them for extensive tree trimming.
I am writing this review to commend two deserving employees, Zac Burke and Jacob Gill. Before meeting Zac and Jacob, I was apprehensive that two careless workers would come, indiscriminately hack at my trees to trim them, and then leave a mess. I could not have been more wrong!
Before doing any work, they took time to discuss the trimming work to be done—which I really appreciated!! Both men were articulate and spoke English—which I also appreciated!
Zac and Jacob worked safely and carefully. They were careful in how they brought down branches. They were careful not to damage my nearby fence. They tiptoed around seven perennial flowers that were planted near the base of the tree. Not one plant was damaged.
Zac and Jacob went above and beyond to get dead branches cleared out of my trees. They truly went the extra mile!! They noticed two diseased branches that I had not seen. One branch was so compromised that there was a twenty-inch gash where light showed through it. I was relieved that they spotted it and took it down.
I was also impressed by their teamwork. They helped each other every step of the process. They had positive, cheerful attitudes and I never heard bad language or complaining. They were a great team!!
At the end, I was also grateful how thoroughly they cleaned up the branches and debris. My yard looked tidy and the street area where they chipped the wood was swept clean.
I cannot say enough good things about Zac and Jacob!! This company can be very proud of them!! They are a terrific asset and wonderful workers.

Had a large silver maple trimmed last summer, great workers, so when I needed my apple trees trimmed I had them done last week.
Came on time, did great work and at a fair price. Amber and Marrio did a fantastic job and explained how and why they trimmed the way they did.
Really enjoyed them and the great work they did. Trees are healthy and can't wait till next summer watching the dang tree rats [squirrels] take a bite out of each apple :-)

Used their services and saved our trees, thankfully. Will use you again if needed. Thanks again. Very timely and effective.
