Reviews of local pros in Katy, Texas

JS Tree Service company was very efficient and timely with their time. They cleaned up and removed the debris after the work was done. I would recommend them as a reliable company.

Tony is amazing! Highly recommend working with him.

We hired this company to level our yard and install sod. Very disappointing experience. Overall, save your money and use another service, even if they cost more. What they quote you is a lowball quote. Expect to pay 50% more for materials. We lost an entire weekend with no calls from them. Impossible to get ahold of anyone that can answer a question.
Pro:
- They worked out a payment system for us since the cost ended up being more than we were quoted.
Cons:
- Alejandro, the salesman, showed up over an hour late with no call.
-The salesman was very pushy, even to the point of insulting our standards.
-The salesman said the service would include haul away for our debris. They did not haul away. In fact, they left some personal trash in our yard.
-The salesman said they would include trimming our trees to offset the cost of haul away. They did not trim our trees.
-Both the salesman and Jose told us our tree is dead and that it needed to be removed. Three other services have said that tree is fully alive and only needs a trim. So Alejandro and Jose lied to us.
-They did not show up on the day scheduled, they did not even call to inform us they would not be showing up.
- After we called, they said they would be there the next day. They did not show up, or call, the next day.
- After we called 3 times, they informed us they would show up 2 days after the scheduled day. They said we would be the first job that day. They showed up around 4 PM and only worked 1 hour. They said we would need to call office to reschedule services.
- They showed up 3 days after the scheduled day and finished the work.
- They did not level our yard. In fact, some spots are worse than before.
- Jose said we would get a warranty for the services. We never received the warranty. When asked, the office staff say Jose will call us back. We have not received any calls from Jose. Do they even warranty their work?

The job was done generally well. There were some miscommunications about the expectations for the job and what was promised was not fully delivered. There were also some safety concerns as personnel stood on the fence to cut trees rather than use a ladder.

The work was beautiful from what I saw on instagram from this company and I wanted to to obtain a bid. The appointment service was poor, in my opinion. I tried three times to make an appointment. With each attempt, thru their website and/or calling, for their consultation call I did receive a confirmation only to never get that scheduled call, wasting my time waiting for it. It’s unfortunate, I wanted to get an estimate from them, but I will try another service. Their appointment service is a first impression of their company, so I hope that gets corrected so they don’t lose another potential client.

JS Tree Service did an excellent job with my flower bed. They were able to recommend materials for retaining wall and also types of plants and everything came out fantastic. Definitely added an extra pop to our house and good curb appeal.

I saw JS Tree Services on Instagram and was impressed by the results. While my results were similar my experience with transparency and clear communication was lacking. I desired landscaping, paver installation (walkway and patio) and drainage. The team leader was more concerned with getting me sold than making sure I had an overall good experience. I was quoted one thing in conversation when it came to materials for the entire project which ended up costing me $900 more than what I was given. As a first timer I expected to work directly with Alejandro instead I worked with 2 individuals who I did not speak to directly in the beginning. I ended up with paver installation, drainage installation and not real landscaping just a retainer wall and edging for my flower beds. Additional fees were attached that were not my responsibility nor were they discussed with me and I had to ask for sod to be laid (which was done improperly) in areas where they dug up too much grass. All of my work was done in two days but for a better experience I would have been okay if it had taken longer. My advice ask questions about EVERYTHING upfront and get it all in writing.

I had worst experience with J.S. Tree Service. They promised that they will remove all 4 tree stump, but they only removed 3 tree strump. Yet, they proclaimed that they completed the job and requested the full payment. The missing one strump was discovered by me when I reviewed the work, they did not proactively communicate it to me. This is the worst company I ever worked with.
The finance team is so unprofessional and so rude.

I would like to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to the incredible team at J.S Tree Service. Over the years, almost my entire family has had the privilege of working with your company, and we have been consistently impressed and thoroughly satisfied with the exceptional services you provide.
From the moment we engaged with your team, we were met with professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to addressing our needs. Will Highly Recommend anyone who has asked us about your services.

I stumbled upon a site called Home Adviser looking to put up a fence when the representative asked if I needed any other services. He was naming off the services and I explained to him that I did in fact need 4 trees removed. He sent my information to a reputable company, J. S. Tree Service, and to others as well. They called and I set up the appointment. Alex inspected the trees and gave me a quote of around $5,000 for all 4 trees which is a great deal. Jose and team 5 completed everything in less than 4 hours. They left the yard clean, no trash anywhere, were respectible, and very industrious. We would use them again but we don't have any more trees to remove.
🙂

After all was said and done, they did a good job!
However:
Alex, the sales rep, was argumentative with me when I asked him why he was late, then he kept interrupting me when I tried to explain to him that there was the water main close to the tree stump. Sure enough, they were tossing down large portions of the tree right where the water main was and busted it. It took a while for them to realize it broke the water main and shut it off.
This was partly because Marlon, the supervisor, as not around for long periods of time. He also spoke very limited English.
They did get a plumber out after they cleared away everything and took care of his fee, which I need them to submit a receipt to the city that the water main was repaired. Hopefully they will respond and do this.

Also, Alex was very pushy about signing a contract that day, although he did give us several options, and also a “discount”.
I did sign a contract, but when I got ready to pay the deposit, he said there was a 4% fee for an using AmEx card, which when I asked him about using a CC, he did not mention.

The person who came out later after the crew left, who was waiting to make due the plumber finished the job correctly, was very nice and listed to some of my complaints listed above, and they would be addressed.

I think they are a little expensive, but overall they did a “good” job, not “great”, not “excellent.”

I had a tree fall into my angry neighbors yard while I was away. Alejandro and his crews were on site within a few hours to not only remove that tree but also remove other trees that were dead or posed a threat. His team handled the job, and my angry neighbor for a very fair price and did a great job. I would definitely recommend if your looking to get the job done right and with professionalism.

Through the internet, I contacted several tree service companies, and I hired JS Tree Service because although they were not the cheapest, they were the most responsive and the only ones that took the time to answer all my questions, clearly explained the details of the services they offered, and provided the different options on how to address my project.

I am glad that I decided to hire this company and I am very satisfied with the focus on customer education and satisfaction from Alejandro and with the results of the job done by the crew who ensured that I was happy with their completed work. Another big plus was how clean my front and back yard were after they finished and left.

I definitely recommend this company and will use them in the future when my trees need anything else!

I hired them to install a cedar gate at a brick wall. They were on time. Completed the job in just one day. Followed up with me the day after. I would highly recommend J.S Tree Services.

The best tree service I've ever had! The crew was really prepared and cleaned up after themselves, they did a great job with all the trees in my backyard and in a short period of time. I also appreciated they took the time to answer all my questions and maintained constant communication throughout the process-- it shows me their professionalism and commitment to quality service that begins with customer care. I definitely would recommend their services and I myself will be calling them again!

I recently had the pleasure of working with this fantastic team that exceeded my expectations in every way. From start to finish, my experience with them was flawless, with no issues whatsoever. The team members were professional, knowledgeable, and committed to providing the best possible service.

One of the highlights of my projects was the outdoor pergola they built for me. The craftsmanship was outstanding, and every detail was meticulously taken care of. I couldn't be happier with the end result. Additionally, they installed artificial turf in the backyard, transforming it into a beautiful, low-maintenance space.

Throughout the entire process, I had the pleasure of working closely with Jose, who proved to be a highly efficient and reliable point of contact. He ensured that everything was explained to me perfectly, leaving no room for confusion. I greatly appreciate his clear communication, as it made the experience even more enjoyable.

One aspect that impressed me was their commitment to transparency. The office provided me with daily receipts, which allowed me to keep track of the materials being purchased and the process of the work. This level of accountability gave me peace of mind and reinforced the trust I had in their service.
Not only was the onsite team exceptional, but the office staff also played a significant role in making the process seamless. They were proactive in keeping me informed and involved in every step, ensuring that I was always in the loop.

Based on my experience, I highly recommend being transparent and specific about your expectations from the beginning. By clearly communicating your desires and preferences, you can ensure that everything goes smoothly and that the team can deliver precisely what you envision.

In conclusion, my experience with the team was outstanding. They delivered exceptional work, provided excellent communication, and demonstrated a commitment to transparently throughout the project. I couldn't be happier with the outdoor pergola and artificial turf they installed for me. If you're looking for a reliable and professional team to bring your vision to life, I wholeheartedly recommend working with them.

The list of issues I had with this company is VERY long, not only do they not tell you that their bid price does NOT include materials. Any time you discuss materials they increase the price without letting you know about the price change. On top of that they won’t call you to work though anything they just email, demand payments, include merchant whether paying with a check or ACH. RUN don’t walk away form this company!!! Now the job they were supposed to do for drainage has failed to deliver results.

J.S. Tree Service did an outstanding job for us from the beginning of the process until the job was completed. They provided photos to us to ensure we were satisfied with the work they performed.

My complaint is related to the abuse in their contracts and the clauses the put on it.

My husband requested via Home Advisor a business to do an Estimate to us for Tree Services. We got an answer from this company JS Tree Service. First they were really pushing to know if the decisions or approval for the service were going to be done the same day. I know is my fault I signed a contract where it says that, they were going to charge a 10% cancellation fee additional to the 20% security deposit that was final, and no return.
I did this decision and I signed against my husband's approval, so 4 hours later I contacted them to let them know that we needed to cancel the service.  The final amount of the contract was $3,236.67 (taxes included). I gave the sales agent a check for the amount of $647.33 (20% deposit). I was willing to loose my security deposit because I understand  that the deposit was final as it says on the contract. I asked if we were able to do a change in order or change on the contract to do a service that the cost is 50% less than the deposit amount that was on the contract and they were not willing to do anything on that part.

Their cancellation charges is an abuse to the consumers plus they are charging taxed on this deposits and fees for a service that was not completed and that is something to worry about.

Their response was to charge me $258.96 additional (10% cancellation fee) so, they have on their side $906.29 that I paid to them, for the cancellation of a service that I did in less than 4 hours. They did not incurred in any cost for my service.  They were not willing to do a change in order for the amount that I have paid already, staying that I signed the contract knowing the clauses on it. They are very unprofessional and their is a lack of communication to answer my questions in regarding to the change in order or cancellation.

This was our 2nd time using JS tree services and things have chsnged a bit. Its unclear how they break down the labor cost and were surprised to be given late fee's if supplies werent paid for within 24hrs yet f they need to refund you for any resson you will have to go out to theit office or wait for check to be mailef bo exceptions. The crew left a mess behind and all furniture in a corner, gravel allnover and didnt replace all of the sprinkler lines we had for each plant. The job was going to take 2 days and it was completed in a week and half. I am happy for their business growth and understand the challenges but as a repeat customer would expect greater customer service.

This is the second time I have used JS Tree Service. They did an excellent job turfing my backyard. They were meticulous in their work. I am beyond happy with the results!
