We needed a tree stump cut flush they did a great job
Wish I had more pictures! But they came in with full force, took out these 2 big trees and grinded the stumps. Took a yard full of green waste, and an old fence wrapped in the most tangled mess of vines man has ever seen. Not to mention, in one day. $6000 A bit premium, but you’re paying for speed, & knowledge, and I’ll take that anyday.
Helped me identify a mystery tree so I could make sure my dog is safe/not being poisoned! Very knowledgeable!
Tino’s the man! Right price with exceptional work quality! I would use him again.
Outstanding Service from Start to Finish! I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Affordable Tree Service. On the day of service, the crew arrived within the promised timeframe, went right to work, and did an outstanding job trimming my very tall palm tree. They listened to exactly what I wanted and did not over-trim the tree. It looks beautiful! I highly recommend Affordable Tree Service to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and high-quality tree service. I will definitely use them again!
I needed a professional, licensed, and bonded tree trimmer to remove two codominant sycamore trees down to the stumps, grind out the stumps, and trim two other sycamore trees on my property. So I did what you're supposed to do and got three bids. Tino (Celestino) came in slightly higher than the highest bid—but I hired him anyway. Here's why. I wanted someone who would take the time to analyze my unique situation. The codominant trees had become dangerous. Thank God there was no damage and no one was hurt, but they were dropping branches and had something seeping from them. One was leaning over my garage; the other was leaning over my driveway. I wanted someone to explain how they would approach the climbing and cutting, what their process would be, and how they would ensure nothing got damaged. Tino did all of that and more. He even warned me that some plants in the area might get damaged, and if anything else was affected—like a drip line or water pipe—they would fix it. He also told me he would have his insurance company send me a Certificate of Insurance with my property address on it for peace of mind. I value promptness and cleanliness. I don't want people on my property who won't respect it. Tino and his crew went above and beyond my expectations. When the job required access to my neighbor's driveway, Tino approached my neighbor and politely requested permission. My awesome neighbor immediately agreed. But this meant a mess would be left behind on both driveways. Without me saying a word, Tino's crew jumped on it—they cleaned up my neighbor's driveway, and when they noticed dust and wood chips on my neighbor's roof, one of the crew members climbed up with blowers and left it spotless. Then he did the same for my roof and cleaned my driveway as well. This was a two-day job. The trees were massive and complicated to cut, requiring them to work piece by piece, saw everything into smaller sections, and carry it all down a long driveway to the dump bin. They covered the driveway with a tarp just in case. They came with eight guys to do the job. When the climber finished, the rest of the crew immediately got to work putting everything back the way it was. During grinding, they broke a pipe coupling—which was expected given how tight the space was—and they went and got the part to fix it. They also replaced a drip line they had to cut before grinding. Both repairs were done perfectly. The place was spotless when they were done. They came back a few days later to trim the other two sycamore trees, which took only a couple of hours. Once again, the property was left immaculate. Here's my advice after this whole experience: hire someone who, when they come out to give you a bid, is professional, personable, and explains the details of what they're going to do. You may encounter people who show up only to see if you'll accept their number. Before fully understanding your needs, they just want to talk broad strokes, throw out a bid, and gauge your reaction. If the owner of the company doesn't show care in the work, imagine the culture among the employees—they'll care even less. I want clear communication, detailed explanations, and a seamless process. You certainly don't want someone to give you a low bid and then stop mid-job to say, "I didn't foresee this issue—that's going to cost another $XXXX." If the bid is done right, it requires the vendor to spend time on your property, talk to you, uncover your needs, and discuss the details. That's exactly what Tino did—with respect and professionalism. Yes, his bid was higher, but it was worth every penny. I got exactly what I wanted, and nothing we discussed was deviated from. So if you have a tree trimming or tree and stump removal need, definitely get bids—but make sure Tino is your last bid. See what he has to say before you decide. Check out some of the before, mid-process, and after pictures. Hope this helps. God bless!
Tino and his crew were awesome. Reasonable price and they were fast!
Tino dug up and removed two agave cactus from the parkway next to the sidewalk in front of my house. He was prompt, efficient and thorough, removing the cactus, including the roots, a nice, clean job.
Needed a couple of Crepe Myrtle trees trimmed down and thinned to satisfy the HOA fire safety needs. Tino responded quickly and went out to give me a quote on the work. We scheduled a day for the job and he sent videos to me as he was working so I could see and comment. He did a great job and perfect clean up (important when you’re dealing with an HOA community). I will be sure to recommend Tino to anyone in the community that needs tree work done!
settled on a price, planned for work, and they couldn't make it on the scheduled day, and ignored messages until later in the day, claiming they were too busy to respond.
Tino is responsive, knowledgeable and easy to work with. He and his team did a great job removing several trees from our property.
I recently hired A Cut Above Tree Service to trim 3 trees in our yard. One was completely covered in a vine. Tino contacted me right away and was here the next day with a team. They did the work and cleaned everything up. All for a reasonable cost. I would recommend!
Tino and his crew were efficient, friendly and worked hard cleaning out our 5 queen palms. When done everything was left neat and clean including trimmings that fell over the wall. The trees look great and I’d definitely recommend them to you.
Tino and his crew were friendly, courteous, and hard-working. I hired Tino for brush clearance on a large hillside property. I received five proposals and tino gave a fair price. He sent me a written quote and completed all of the work described. He took ownership of the job and remedied small issues. I would hire them again.
Would highly recommend!
Professional and easy to talk to
Great work on short notice. Handled well. Thank you
A Cut Above was absolutely first rate from start to finish. I recently completed a major renovation and I can tell you that the service, attention to detail, communication and follow through puts this company shoulders above almost every trade that I worked with! Tino is a lovely man, really honest and he cares about the quality of work. Rare!
Tino was great. He was responsive and did a great job cutting some hedges for us on such short notice. Would hire him again. Thanks, Tino!
