Reviews of local pros in Katy, Texas

Knowledgeable, practical help to keep us from losing valuable trees that weren’t healthy.
The crew also did a great job with appropriate pruning to help repair previous tree-trimming that almost killed our trees. Joe and his crew got us back on the right path and ultimately saved us from losing our oak trees.

Joe has been cutting our oak tree & bradford pear for years. He knows his trees! He has continue to care for our bradford pear so that it doesnt split down the middle and we will enjoy it for years to come.
His crew is awesome, the clean up is wonderful.
I have trusted my trees to Joe & his crew!

I had about a 45 foot oak tree, 5 feet from the house and 3 feet from the fence. These guys are such pros because they were able to take it down with no damage to any of the surrounding property. They are really good! They worked hard and cleaned everything up. I'll never use anyone else after this performance.

Joe is awesome to work with! He has trimmed and cared for our trees for 4+ years. We have called several tree companies even to look at a sick tree and Joe by FAR is the most knowledgeable. Joe is our go to for all questions, support and help when it comes to our trees.

Our trees look better than they ever have. Connor’s knowledge about how trees need to be trimmed is impressive. They cleaned everything up after trimming. Couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. Will definitely use them again.

This was our first time using Houston Arbor Care Tree Services and we felt that Joe was very knowledgeable, his crew was professional and efficient and the price was reasonable. We will be using them again the next time we need our trees trimmed.

Great customer service. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Joe came out to take a look at a tree my previous tree trimmer said was hopeless and dying - they were not being trimmed correctly, plus we’ve had a bad drought but I had holes in my tree from improper treatment.

Houston Arbor Care Tree Service has an excellent crew - Joe and his team really care about saving trees, and I feel that my trees are in good hands now - they trimmed the trees using rope - not spikes and applied neem oil to kill insects that were damaging the tree and finally did a “Drench” which I’ve never had done, but I know it will help to feed the roots of the trees with organic nutrients and restore and perhaps bring my tree back to live a few more yrs or longer. I am also going to use them for my future lawn fertilizing and all tree trimming and tree care in the future - I have 6 trees and want to keep them - give them a call especially if you are worried about your trees - they really care

Been using Houston Arbor Care for a number of years to prune and maintain our trees. This year we had to remove a tree that was close to the garage and garden. Joe's crew did a great job without any damage to anything.

Joe Chalker and his team provided terrific service from the initial visit for a quote through the actual work. Joe is a wealth of knowledge and gave us a well thought out plan. Connor, Blast and the workers were courteous, eager to please, executed the plan with precision and did a fine clean-up once they were completed. Hats off to Houston Arbor Care Tree Service.

Joe came by the same day of the inquired estimate. Reasonable price and the quality of work was outstanding. Had a tree removed and they removed the brush, cut and stacked the other pieces for firewood as per my job request, and my yard was spotless. Highly recommended.

We have two Live Oaks and a storm damaged Pecan that were long overdue for a trim. I've been hesitant to have someone come out in fear that they'd do more damage than good. I found Houston Arbor Care through a Google search and the reviews were positive so I sent them a message to get a quote. Joe came out to my house the same day and was very knowledgeable explaining exactly what needed to be done and, more importantly, what shouldn't be done. Two weeks later my trees have never looked better. Glad I finally found someone I could trust to not butcher my trees. I'll be using Joe and his crew going forward.

Joe and his crew have worked on our property three times now. They always do a great job and clean up after themselves. Joe is really good about communicating quickly, and getting us on the schedule right away. Very trustworthy. I always appreciate his attention to detail and honesty. You won’t regret hiring him!

Called Houston Arbor Care Tree Service to come out to look at my Red Oak Tree as it’s been dropping big limbs. They happened to be in Katy and came over to my house within 30 minutes! He knew exactly what was causing the problem and explained what needed to be done.
They were very knowledgeable, gave me a reasonable price and started to work on
the trees immediately.
Could not have asked for a better crew or quicker service! Would highly recommend Houston Arbor Care Tree Service.

Houston Arbor Care has been such a Godsend. While I love my normal weekly landscaping company for mowing and trimming our bushes, there are just certain projects, especially involving our larger or more specialized trees, where it’s important to use a professional arborist. We were having such a difficult time getting our grass in the front yard to grow; now Houston Arbor Care comes out and prunes and separates the canopy regularly, allowing light through while keeping the beauty of the tree’s natural shape (no broccoli trees from this company). Joe and Connor are so knowledgable and do a great job of issue spotting and proposing workable solutions for common issues (e.g., we can’t do much about the fact that our oak trees were planted too high or too close together by the developers, but they always have great ideas for maximizing the health and longevity of our trees using what we’ve got). They’ve done a variety of projects for us over the last 5 years, and they are always responsive, professional, and do beautiful work. Highly recommend if you need a new arborist or are thinking about using one for the first time.

The crew did an amazing job pruning my trees and cleaning up mulch beds. What I appreciated most was Joe walking me through the process and giving me tree care info and tips. Will definitely use for all tree care in the future.

2025 Edit: Still getting great service from Connor and the team at Houston Arbor Care

Joe and his team did an excellent job pruning and trimming my live oak and crepe myrtle trees. I had some concerns about roots headed to my foundation and Joe advised to trim the roots and raise the canopy above our house. He also provided advise around the base of the trees to ensure proper growth and minimize surface roots. Clearly very knowledgeable about his business. His team was very respectful, did a great job and also cleaned up well. Highly recommend this team!

Connor came to the house on time and when he said he would which is a great trait for a vendor. He came to drench and fertilize the trees, beds and lawn. The night before a tree top had fallen. He assessed the situation and we were able to clean up the tree, however, he saw a tree with a big hole in it. I choose to cut it down, and I’m glad that he assessed it properly as that tree would’ve fallen sooner than later and could’ve been dangerous to my family. His crew did a phenomenal job ensuring it was safely done and no other plants or trees were damaged. They did a great job in clean up as well. He explained to me what happened to the tree, the disease the tree had, and what had happened to make it weak. I was very appreciative of his knowledge and the expertise of his team. I would highly recommend him to ensure that your trees are trimmed properly with a crew that knows how to trim them without weakening the tree for the future.

Very knowledgeable arborists. Tree service by keeping trees healthy and happy, not just chopping away at them like so many other companies do. Houston Arbor Care provided the care our red oak needed and did a great job cleaning up.

Joe came all the way to Galveston to discuss the corrective pruning and tree trimming my five (very) mature Like Oaks needed. I wanted them pruned and done so that the trees (and my house) both have the best chance of survival if we have a hurricane.

His crew showed up early, worked all day, cleaned up everything, and did a great job. Joe came down to check on the progress of the job, which I really appreciated! Although they did a lot of pruning, the trees still look full. Joe and his crew are very knowledgable and they care about the trees and you as a customer.

I have used other guys in the past and they did not have this level of expertise. I would recommend Houston Arbor Care Tree Service.

Joe showed up the next day to give me a free & fair first estimate on price and I received the official quote the next day. Job was done in the same week with a great professional crew. I had a total of seven trees to be trimmed and they are all looking great now. Joe showed up towards the end of the job again, explained me the work and ensured that I'm happy with the results. Crew cleaned up very well at the end as well.
Thanks for the professional work. Highly recommended.
