We needed our 30 year old Mesquite tree trimmed up and shaped to stay inline with HOA requirements. They were fast, efficient, and skilled at shaping the tree. We are pleased with its appearance. The team cleaned up the yard and ground up all the branches. Appreciated!

The job was completed as promised, and customer service was great. I will use and refer this company again.
It is with extreme pleasure to voice my absolute satisfaction with the tree removal service I received from Nicholas Tree Removal Service. Their prompt arrival and preparedness spoke volumes of the work ethic I would experience from the crew who demonstrated total professionalism, respectfulness and absolute confidence in their ability to ensure the most stellar outcome. I cannot say enough to express my gratitude for all the detail that went in to this much anticipated service. As a stickler for detail and superior customer service, Nicholas Tree Removal surpassed my expectations. If anyone is in need of any tree services, you would not be disappointed in their prices, services and all around customer care. I am so glad I trusted them with the entire project.

Came out when promised. Spoke with my husband about one young mesquite tree needing trimmed and one very old mesquite tree both needing thinned out and trimmed. They send out estimate the next day. Was a bit more than I anticipated ,but after getting more estimate they were very reasonable. Came out to do trees as promised ,crew of five with all equipment needed for safety and their needs. These crew worked 3.5 hours non stop.No one on phone, no one standing around .Cleanup was beautiful .Highly recommend . I had to have them come back due to winds, that cause a few limbs to falter and came dragging to ground. Erin came and check it out. Sent crew within a few days.Did as we requested and respected that they had to came back.Customer service is everything today and they showed they know how to service their customers the right way. con: Slow clearing check still waiting.

Came home from vacation to find monsoon storm damage. While unpacking, we heard the sound of saws down the street. There was Aaron who walked back to the house with me and gave not one, but three quotes on various trees! The crew was back two days later!

Even in this high demand period of monsoons, Nicolas Tree service had my tree removed in a couple of days at a very competitive price. Their personnel were all professional, left my yard clean of the debris and communication was great through all aspects, the quote, the work and the billing. Nice work Nicolas.

These guys are professionals. They were quick to respond, quick to complete the work, and a pleasure to do business. Prices are reasonable and communication is uncommonly proactive.
There was one mistake—we were not here when they did the work. But they owned up to it and made it right. What more can you expect?
We’ll only use Nicholas Tree Removal Service for any and all future tree removals.
