    Best in the business. Solid work done at a good price. Very reliable.

    Tommy and his crew have done two jobs for me now and have done a great job with both. I would not hesitate to use his services again.

    Tommy & crew came out at time we agreed on, did the tree removal with surrounding brush without damaging fencing on 2 sides close to trees, sectioned useable firewood and stacked for later. Cleaned up with no mess left all completed in 2 hours. I tried 5 other groups who were not feasible. Tommy’s will be doing my properties.

    His website says they do root barriers but when he came over to give an estimate, he tried to scam me by charging me 600 dollars to trim my less than 10 years old live oAk and a very small magnolia tree. I talked him down to 350 but that's still pricey. He said he would get back to me about the root barriers and he still has not despite my texts to him. He is just a sales guy trying to trick you.

    Unfortunately, I have to share a negative experience. We hired Tommy to trim all the oak trees in our front yard. I walked the property with him beforehand, and he assured me that he and his crew could handle it without any issues.

    On the first day, Tommy came out and worked by himself, which we appreciated. However, given the size of our property, the number of oaks, and the height of the limbs needing removal, it was clear we needed a full crew — including climbers — to safely and effectively complete the job. Tommy said he would return the next day with his team.

    Over the next two visits, Tommy brought two other workers who helped clean up the limbs he had cut down using a long pole saw. During our walk-through, I specifically pointed out that the trees around our house were the highest priority since their limbs were overhanging the roof. Tommy assured me his climber would take care of them.

    At the end of the third day, Tommy requested full payment. Against my better judgment, I paid him in full based on his promise to return and complete the work. Unfortunately, he never came back. At first, he answered my calls and texts for about a month, but eventually he stopped responding altogether. It has now been over two months. He cashed the check and we have not heard from him since.

    We own ladders, chainsaws, and pole saws ourselves — but we hired a professional so we wouldn’t have to do this work. I also feel misled about the existence of his “crew.” The work we needed most required climbers, and the job should have been handled by professionals with the right equipment from the start.

    We paid over $1,000 for services that were not completed. I am posting this review both to warn others and in the hope that Tommy will reach back out to honor his commitment. If he does, I will gladly update this review.

    I’ve done business with Tommy over the years for a many tree service. He was fair in the past but I do not recommend them today. For the most recent job for tree trimming and fence repair they did not finish but demanded full payment promising to return the next day to complete the other 10% of the work which was to trim and cap the 4 posts. He didn’t keep his word and ignored calls. After 72 hours I gave up. The workmanship of the fence was also poor with cockeyed screws. His crew’s conduct was unprofessional especially one guy constantly badger for a “tip”. They asked some beers. Brought them some, but still shorted me. Also tried to return extra materials I paid for store credit for himself. Fortunately Home Depot desk stopped them and informed me that the refund was going back to my card. Disappointed in their integrity.
