Tree reviews in Tacoma, Washington

Great people that give a great service. And they don't leave a mess!

Christian did a great job maneuvering his machine to my backyard and grinding out 6 stumps. Then he did the 2 in my front yard! GREAT SERVICE AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ALL!!
Thank you,
THE NIKOLAO's

I have used Canzler 4 different times over the years, that should say how I feel about the job they do. They are the BEST

If you have a way to hall away debris that comes out of the trees that they worked on (6 foot branches) then hire them.....if not I would shy away from them....They did half the job and said that they would be back to finish....I called them after 2 weeks and fired them. I feel bad for the people that dont have the ways and means to clean up after these hacks.

Price seemed very reasonable, considering the amount of work involved. Worked hard to figure out what I wanted done, double checking when needed. Cleaned up well. Very professional. No hesitation in recommending them.

High quality work at a great price. Licensed, bonded and insured and an A+ rating with the BBB lets you rest assured they are the right company for tree removal.

I badly need some tree trimming done around my house, maybe removal as well. In searching, I kept noticing good reviews for Canzler. Years ago, I had asked them for an estimate for the same tree, and the worker got here when I wasn't home. Finding the gate locked, he jumped the fence and dislodged the post. At least the company made good on it and reset the post.

So when I again started looking for a tree service, I figured maybe that previous incident was a one-off. Maybe I should give them another try. Well, first thing I noticed was their website contact form is broken. It's impossible to send them email through the website. Eventually I found a "comment" area, and posted my request there. When I didn't hear back, I finally called them that evening.

A woman answered the phone, and the first thing she said when I said I was calling about tree service was that it was actually after hours. I explained about the problem with their website contact form, and said I had been awaiting a response to the "comment" I left there. She went ahead and scheduled me for an estimate this morning. I asked that they call ahead, to give me time to leash up my dog and make sure I was prepared to answer the door and talk about trees.

This morning, around 8:00, my phone rings. I opened one eye, saw an unfamiliar number, figured it was a scammer or something, and drifted right back off to dreamland. They didn't leave voicemail.

A few minutes later, my doorbell rings, rousing me out of a deep dream. My dog goes crazy and gets his leg tangled. I stumble to the door, wondering what sort of emergency required my attention right then. I mean, who rings doorbells at 8 AM on a Saturday morning? A young man with a clipboard brightly introduced himself as Canzler tree service.

Needless to say, I had to send him away. There was no way I was going to be able to compose myself sufficiently on the spot to walk out back with him at the moment to discuss the tree, with my dog barking and waking up all the neighbors, to boot.

I called later and left voicemail, explaining what had happened. An elderly gentleman called back a short time later, and told me that they had a route to follow and I just happened to be the very first stop. It was impossible for them to call ahead for every job, he told me, citing expense (really? Is their business phone on a prepaid plan or something?). But I tried to be a good sport and said it was really no big deal in the grand scheme of things, I just wanted to let them know for future reference... At which point, the old man interrupted with, "Oh don't worry, we won't be back!" And hung up on me!

Two strikes for this company. They're not getting a third chance from me.

We hired Canzler’s to cut 4 trees down and to haul it all away and they did it all within just a couple of hours. They did an awesome job of cleaning up and went above and beyond by disposing tree limbs that my husband had chopped down without us even asking them too. Thank you Canzler’s.

Hello. First I want to say these guys are the cheapest in town! They charged me $500 to take down a 130' fir tree, grind the stump and clean up. They even said they would take care of the tax if I paid them in cash. So it only cost $500! out the door. They had five guys working besides Mr Canzler for 9 hrs. Do the the math! Mr Canzler told me all the other tree company's are getting filthy rich, and that he is happy making $10 an hr. He implied this was a normal day. I'll be hiring them again because the other companies wanted to charge us thousands for the same tree.

Had a large stump removed from a 60 year old tree. Their estimate was lower than others that I had gotten and they came recommended by a friend. They have the right equipment and ground down about 18 inches below grade so that I can plant another tree in the same spot. They were in the driveway exactly when their appointment was scheduled, unloaded, done, loaded and gone in an hour and a half. It cost me $200 more than if I had rented a small grinder and spent all day doing it myself. I would never have been able to do the quality job that they did, and if I didn't get done in one day I would have spent more for the rental than they charged. Pleasant people on the phone and in my yard. Highly recommend using them.

Had a great experience with Canzler. Tony and his team did a great job with stump grinding and removed a ridiculous patch of lillac in our back yard. Canzler came in with the lowest bid, had the entire job taken care of in less than 2 hours, and diligently cleaned up after themselves. I recommend Canzler tree services with confidence to anyone with landscaping needs. Looking forward to using Canzler again in the future. I would ignore the 1 Star reviews, including the crazy woman who was interrupted from her "deep dream". What a tool.

My condo complex had 2 large cottonwoods threatening a roof and we hired Canzler to take them down. Large - the trunk of the bigger one was over 5 feet across! Canzler's bid was the lowest; they're licensed, bonded, and insured; and they're only 7 blocks away. They were happy to work with our time frame, and their team was exactly the size to get the trees down and the site cleaned up in 2 full days' work. Very efficient, very courteous. They had to remove a section of fence to safely cut down the bigger tree, and they did that and restored the fence with no sign it had ever been disturbed. Professionals all the way. I look forward to working with them again.

The crew was very professional about parking and directing traffic around the project. They got right to work when they arrived and worked safely around the huge fir trees. I appreciated the verbal communication they had as they worked. The huge branches that were coming down made me glad that they were taking care of my tree and that those branches wouldn't be falling on my house or neighbors.
Love being able to support and recommend a local family business like this one.

We used them for a tree removal about a year ago. Canzler removed a large ~100' fir that was spaced about 10 feet from our house and 10 feet from our neighbors' home. They took the tree down in about 18" sections and managed to do it while causing minimal damage to our landscaping and none to either house. The job was done as bid with no complications. They were thoroughly professional. I was happy with the work and would recommend them for a similar job.

These guys are awesome! They took down two big Douglas Firs in my yard quickly and efficiently, and then they completely cleaned up after the job like it was never even there. Super professional and highly recommend if you need trees trimmed or removed.

Awesome job done. Had 5 dying maples near my house, and they did a great job and only took 1 day. All trees were taken down and cut to fireplace lengths and branches were chipped and hauled away. I will call Canzler back to remove more trees when needed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND these guys. They have a great work ethic. Thanks

Update: I have now used these guys 3 times with the same outstanding job each time. The trees I had removed each time were over 80 yrs old dead/dying maple trees. They have been very professional and hard working.

We had called over a dozen tree services and people either didn’t show up or showed up with crazy bids. These guys came recommended by a friend and man I am so happy they answered my call. They bid the lowest they showed up when they said they would. They removed the huge tree in our yard and had it all cleaned up by 5pm. We had a few days of heavy rain so the yard got a bit tore up but I don’t think it could have been avoided. I was home it was my day off and found it interesting to watch how everything was done threw out the day. One thing I did notice is how much they smiled while they worked and seemed to be having a good time. It’s not easy work what they do but they made it look effortless. Family owned locally operated no surprises not the invoice. I highly recommend if you need tree service call them.

The office staff were quick and communicative, actually responding to my quote request. The tree guys had our huge elm tree down, avoiding our shallow dug sewer line, cut up, and cleaned up within an hour. You couldn’t even tell they were there ! I will recommend Canzler over and over again

I cannot say enough good things about this company. Plus they are a local small business. They were on time, professional, unbelievably quick, cleaned up everything like nothing happened. Watching the crew take down a problem tree of mine and grind a stump was nothing but a flurry of activity and then they were gone. Worth every penny of their very reasonable rates. They'll be the first people I call the next time I need any work done with any of my other trees. Thank you again!

Tony and his crew were grateful for the work (thanking us as soon as they arrived) and got right to business. The rain was overwhelming and it poured for hours while they managed to trim a very large and established tree hedge. They managed three different families concerns and did it professionally and without any issues. The job was big so I just hope they will come back next year and help us to maintain the hedge so we can keep our view in tact. Thanks Tony, and everyone at Canzler.

We had a substantial amount of tree work and got three bids from different companies including Canzler. The bids were similar in price but ultimately we went with Canzler because they were easy to communicate with / responsive, they showed up when they said they would, and they seemed to be knowledgeable. They were also able to get a fairly large crew out to do all the work in one day. We were totally satisfied with their work - they again showed up on time, removed several large trees that were complicated by fences and powerlines, didn't do any unintended damage, and tidied up nicely afterwards. Everyone I spoke to was polite and friendly.
