Get matched with top trees and shrubs trimming or removal pros in Buckner, MO

"JL Absolute Tree Service was a pleasure to work with. They were on-time; professional; reasonably priced; and exceeded my expectations. I had a huge tree removed; stump grinded; and another tree trimmed. Thanks guys!"

"Villigran Tree Service is an excellent team that I sincerely recommend. First, Luis Villigran offered to come give me an estimate the same afternoon I called. He showed up right on time and I took a liking to him immediately. He gave me a bid on the spot, which was lower than two others I had solicited. He offered to do the job the following day - a Saturday no less. Again, he and his crew arrived when they said they would. They used a climber to cut my two large dead trees from the top down so as to minimize damage to adjacent trees. They cut up the fallen pieces and stacked them where and how I wanted them. They were very careful, very considerate, worked quickly, and they will be the first call I make when I need more done. Highly recommended!"

"The crew is very experienced and did an excellent job. There was clear communication from the beginning and the 60+ft tree removal was completed on time without any issues. I will be hiring them for future projects."

"Went very well. Nice people did a very good job. Even did a little extra that was not part of the job; at no extra cost"

"I thought the quote from the vendor was too high. His only option was to remove the tree. I wanted to talk to some other companies. I also hoped to be able to save the tree. It is over 50 years old. I was referred to an arborist by a neighbor. I took the arborist's recommendation. The tree has been treated and is responding to the treatment."

"It is hard for me to believe that we are A&E Tree's first Angie's List Review!  What an honor.  These guys did a fantastic job trimming and pruning our overgrown trees.  They have all the equipment you can imagine.  Erik and his crew were amazing, very friendly and polite.  They were very clean and despite all their hard work, they were phenomenal on the cleanup.  This was a major concern for us as we had seen many other tree services contractors in for the quick buck and left a mess.  The pricing was very competitive.  I would recommend A&# tree for all your tree trimming and tree removal / stump removal without hesitation.

"A big job that took a day and a half to remove one very large maple tree and a smaller one plus clean up and hauling away the debris. Well done. Will be hiring again in the fall to remove 3 Bradford pear trees."

"Excellent job! On time, on budget and professional team. They did both tree removal and trimming for me. They also took down a GIANT tree for my neighbors. We were all impressed! We’ll be calling again for future needs"

"This experience reminded me of my junior year of college. I briefly dated a young lady that was considered by many to be drop dead gorgeous. Looking at the cover, she was a 12. Looking under the pages, she was a 7. So while at first glance she was too good to be true, three weeks of dating revealed the true personality. The luster quickly faded. Similar story here....

Adam came out and bid exactly what I wanted. The other 2 bidders tried to oversell. +1 for Adam.

His crew came the day he promised.  2 of three were very personable. One, not so much. +1 for Adam.

The work of the crew was top shelf. Seriously well done. I could not ask for better work. Or for better attitude from the guy who is balancing on limbs with a rope tied to his waist. If nothing else happened, these guys would get a 15 on a scale of 10. +3 for Adam. On a 10 point scale, he is rock solid 15.

But something else did happen...

Last March, my wife surprised me with a trip to Savannah, GA for my birthday, and part of that was a replica of the Bird Girl statue. The fiberglass statue weighs less than 50 pounds, and, to prevent theft,  is cable locked to the tree in my backyard. It is way too easy to carry away.

Work day arrives. No one knocked on my door. In fact, if I had not heard the chainsaws, I would not know they arrived. I walked out to greet the crew and was met with a attitude of one the men hastily moving equipment, outright avoiding me. As the crew was finishing, I realized why. They ripped the arm off the bird girl when they tried to move it in haste. Bird girl was wingless. I called Adam. No reply. 

Adam eventually  arrived (and if I did not walk outside, I'd have never known he was there). He first stated that they repaired it best they could, and then after being asked to pay to replace it, immediately went in to (not so) subtle insults as to why this was all my fault. Paraphrasing.... "Who would secure a statue to a tree?" Followed by "Who the  leaves their sprinklers on while my guys are site," and the real killer "You jacked me down to $700 for $1000 of work."  I did not make him take the job. I offered to pay in cash if he lowered his price by $50. He accepted.

I originally hastily concluded that it was tree damage that killed the bird girl. What apparently happened was the worker went to move it (he likely thought it rather heavy) and broke the arm when the cable drew tight. Once I learned that I conceded that it could have been avoided if I moved it. But like so many of us that have a 60 hour a week job, and a busy life, I did not get it done.   But I would also suspect that it would not have been difficult to knock on my door, tell me that they arrived, and ask that I move anything that is in their way. The cable is quite obvious and has bright orange ring on it. Do that, and you remove all risk of liability. Lessons learned. 

I agreed to 50% liability on the broken statue. Move on and move forward. AND his crew did a wicked awesome job. Seriously, if you don't foresee any potential dispute and the price is right, hire them right away. The problem is, who foresees potential disputes? The absolute worst part of this is that I wanted a company that does a great job, and that can come out every year to do $500 to $750 worth of trimming. I'll gladly pay for quality. But not at the cost of being insulted when an unfortunate accident occurs. To me, the whole point of this reviewis not who is at fault. It's how customers are treated when you don't like their request."

"Their estimate was lower than most I received. They brought heavy equipment and two work crews to guarantee the tree didn't damage the house or deck. The work was done safely and quickly. They crews did a great job with the cleanup."
