Elite Tree Service responded to my tree removal request within 24 hours. Brent came out to look at the trees to provide a quote. Very professional and friendly. The team was scheduled quickly and removed a few large trees and the stumps. The team was very organized and had safety precautions in place to protect themselves, my fence, and my house. My house and gutters thank Elite Tree Service for the excellent work! I would 100% refer any family or friends to Elite Tree Service. Thank you Brent!

This went very well in my opinion. Within about three hours of placing the request Brent was in my yard giving me his quote. On the day of the tree removals the guys showed up on time and surgically removed the two large oaks without any damage to homes or other issues. Dan, the stump grinder took his equipment into a nearly impossible place and ground the stump as low as he could get it in that location. Very happy with Elite, Brent and Dan

they came did what they said they would do were quick, efficient and cleaned up behind them. They knew what they were doing and my trees look much better. They also cut down a large rose bush and cleaned it up without charging me. I would rehire them in the future and recommend them.

Work was done when promised. Some dead branches that I felt obviously need to be removed were not. When bill was presented, it was $125 above estimate. It was described as tax. I realize tax is legitimate, but I have experienced that the estimated price is total cost, tax included. I feel the bill, while legal, was deceptive. I share some blame for assuming that I received a total cost estimate, but feel deceived. I would not recommend this business unless you get clear on billing upfront to be able to make a sound comparative decision.

Adam and his team did a fantastic job of trimming our pecan tree. It had been neglected for a few years at least and it looks great now. The team was on time and hauled away all of the debris. I also liked that he provided references without having to request them. I would definitely recommend Elite Tree Service.

We needed some of our trees cut down, pruned, and some bushes removed. Elite Tree Service was our mid-priced option. They did a good job overall. The pruning could have been a little closer to the tree, and one of my wife's nearby plants was damaged during tree removal. Otherwise, they did a pretty good job.

Elite Tree Service was very fast! Brett was very knowledgable and even assured me that the employees were covered by insurance. I came home, the tree was gone and the area was completely clean. I highly recommend this company!
