Budget Tree Service

I have always received Swift and excellent service whenever I need a firewood.

Excellent service, on time, good price, communicated well, very professional, overall they did an amazing job! I would highly recommend their services!

I highly recommend Budget Tree Service. I have used them on all occasions with great success. In fact, after all the experience I have had with them, I now hire them exclusively for all of my tree trimming and removal work. They have much attention to detail and get the job done right for a fair price. They always arrive promptly at their scheduled time, set up and get to work without delay, and clean up well at the end of the day without fail. Much attention to detail is given to every project I have had them out for, as the trees are always shaped in a visually pleasing and tree-healthy way. In today’s world, it is often difficult to find honest, highly skilled, and courteous folks like those at Budget Tree Service. They have earned a lifetime of business from me, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality licensed tree trimming professionals that exceed all expectations.

Been using Budget Tree Service for many years at the church and the work is always done extremely well and for very reasonable rates. Very professional and a pleasure to work with.

It was wonderfully done at a very good price and the clean up was excellent.

We contacted Kelvin for a large tree job. He and his crew arrived promptly at the promised time and got to work right away. Kelvin and his crew have a lot of attention to detail. As each tree was nearing completion, Kelvin would look at each tree from different angles while standing on the ground and direct his staff to make the finishing touches as he watched, such that the trees looked great from all perspectives. The crew also did a great job of cleaning up; they made sure the grounds looked great before heading out. I have hired Budget Tree Service many times in the past, and will continue to hire them for all of my tree needs as they never fail to give us an awesome final product! True professionals!

Kelvin and his crew were excellent. He responded promptly to the request, scheduled a time to meet and discuss the work requested and provided a proposal in an extremely prompt fashion. The work done was perfect and they were in an out in the same day. I would not hesitate to hire them again should the need arise.

It was great. Kelvin was responsive to phone calls in planning the delivery. He texted when they were on the way. They were quick and professional in stacking the wood in my lumber rack and offered to sweep the area after they were done. The selection of wood is beautiful. We specifically need 14" pieces for our stove. I asked for pieces 14" or shorter and that's what they delivered. $300 for a half chord. I gave them $60 for the stacking since they had to walk a bit from the truck to the rack.

I had Kelvin and his team over last Saturday to prune a few of our fruit trees. While they did a good job with the actual pruning and cleaning up, the reason for the low rating is a different one. In the front yard, between our two citrus trees, we have a pressure valve for one of our drip lines. While Kelvin's team was pruning, they had covered it with the branches they had cut off. On Monday, I noticed that the head of the valve was missing. The last time the line had worked fine was Saturday morning, before Kelvin's team worked in the area. Since none else had been in the area since Saturday, I contacted Kelvin Monday and told him about the broken valve. He asked me to take a picture and send it in order for him to assess the issue. As the first picture was not clear to him, I sent him a second one. On Tuesday he gave me a call to tell me the two valves are not the same. When I told him they actually are, he told me that anyone could have kicked the valve off. Upon me telling him that it is not possible since the valve is not close to the sidewalk and none else had been in the area, he told me he would charge $100 if he comes out and determines it was not him. While the conversation went on, he accused us of making him pay for something that could have been missing for long and demanded proof that it was his team. During the entire conversation, I invited him to come over and have a look at it himself. He seemed to be not interested in solving the issue in a timely manner. While I was writing this review, I received a message from Kelvin. First of all, he determines the images show two different sprinklers. He talks about a spray nozzle, although it is a drip line. If he would make the effort of coming out and having a look at it, he would see that it is not a spray head. However, to fix the problem he suggests to make the repairs for a service fee plus labor and parts. Obviously, it is outraged to charge for a problem your team has caused.

Great. They knew which trees should be trimmed and how to make them look their best and how to make my yard look well cared for and attractive. Prices very reasonable and they did not recommend anything that wasn't necessary.

AMAZING! <br /> We called on a Tuesday afternoon for a quote and Kelvin was at our house within one hour.  He gave us the best quote we had received (we had 2 others) and said his crew would be at our house the next morning. <br /> The crew showed up right on time.  They were all courteous, professional & efficient.  Our 55ft pine tree was cut down, removed & our backyard was spotless by 1pm that say day. <br /> Thank you, Kelvin & all of your crew!  You're the best! <br />

Good job, fast and efficient

The crew showed up and completed the job in less than 4 hours. They did a great job cleaning up. I highly recommend them for tree service.

Had a dead Birch removed from my front yard. Budget Tree Service arrived on time. The team completed removal and left property very clean. He meet my best bid and was prompt and efficient. How often does that happen? Job well done! Gerry in Westlake

Company #1- Kelvin Schlorf, owner of Budget Tree Service- called me Thursday, had already gone to the property, gave me an estimate, and was ready to do the job on Friday after his morning job! I was so happy with his quick response, ability to do the job the next day, and very reasonable price, that I agreed right then! He was busy that evening, didn't have time to send a contract, and didn't even mind not receiving a signed contract until I met him at the job!!! Needless to say, I drove out to the property Friday afternoon, Kelvin and his son Tyler, and another worker, were hard at work and already halfway done. Within an hour, over half the tree was chopped down with a chainsaw, and the truck was already partially full (their chipper was being repaired.) I picked Kelvin's brain about brush clearance questions, what killed the tree, etc- he is very knowledgeable. Before I knew it, after an hour, the slope was cleared of all of the pine branches and stumps, the truck was loaded, and the sidewalk and street swept clean. All three guys were very friendly, hard workers, and very neatl. I will not hesitate calling them again! Company #2- owner was going to have surgery, so unavailable for 2 months. Company #3- sent me an estimate on Friday just before noon. It was more than double the price. Company #4- owner left me voicemail on Saturday at 11:30AM. Had questions about the tree and landscaping. It was too late. Company #5- although I was told someone would get an estimate for me, I never heard from them again.

A couple of days later, Kelvin showed up on time with his crew of three and removed the large decaying tree in one hour! 15 minutes later , the whole work area was swept and cleaned. I am thankful for a job well done.

I had a complicated case as I was having a neighbor's tree removed from their property as well as trimming and some minor removal from my property. Kelvin was great about dealing with the other party so everyone was happy. His crew left my tenant's yard cleaner than it was when they got there! My tenant was happy... I'm happy. Thanks for a job well done!

We have a large yard with over 30 trees. Before giving an estimate, Kelvin walked the entire property with me discussing each tree and agreeing on what work was to be done. He brought a double crew and the work was completed in a little more than half a day, which exceeded my expectations. They cleaned up completely. A few days later, I discovered a small volunteer tree which I forgot to tag for removal. Kelvin came back, removed the little tree. Great service!

Kelvin is a great lead with a great team. Fast, efficient, clean, quiet, and an honest (low cost) bid that he met. Nothing stopped them, even record breaking temperatures (over 110 degrees). I thought the tree was done for with the amount of dead branches but it looks great. I also thought they were done for, hand carrying hundreds of pounds of branches from my back yard to the street (since no truck could get around the house). I highly recommend these guys.

Kelvin and his crew were punctual and professional as well as very friendly. They did a great job, exceeding our expectations, and cleaned up thoroughly. We will definitely use them again.

Very well. The tree was leaning over the neighbors sun deck. the tree was removed without incident. <br /> They arrived on time and completed the job just as promised. They were quick and efficient at a very realistic price. I will definitely use them in the future

Professional, reliable, and friendly service at a good price.  I've used this company for years and have never been disappointed.

They do a great job. The price is reasonable. They come and do their job. They are neat. When they leave, all the branches go with them. They are friendly. I've been comfortable with leaving home and coming back and have it done. They're really good people.

Kelvin Schlorf is a wonderful arborist. He understands the correct way to shape,trim and enhance the beautiful structure of trees. I have never had a business person return a phone call, arrive when he said he would, understand what we wanted, have very fair prices, clean up after he was finished, be considerate of the small plants in the vicinity of the trees AND be a very nice person . We definitely will have him return and we will gladly recommend him to anyone without hesitation. His sons who helped him were polite, hard workers and very nice. It was overall a wonderful experience.
