Tree Assault went above & beyond our expectations. Not only were they professional but after felling our gigantic tree estimated at 75+ feet and weighing in at 1,400 pounds, they cleaned up every speck of wood and branches like it never even existed. Highly recommend the friendly fellas of Tree Assault.

I had a major amount of tree limbs that fell during a storm recently and I discovered the tree (a very large one) was dead. So they came and took the tree down and they did a fantastic job. James was such a great leader, when he came to estimate the job and I hadn’t decided and he moved all of the large tree brushes…

The guys did an excellent job! Did everything they said they would do in a timely manner. Cleaned up after the job and had fair pricing. I would recommend to use them again.

I had a major amount of tree limbs that fell during a storm recently and I discovered the tree (a very large one) was dead. So they came and took the tree down and they did a fantastic job. James was such a great leader, when he came to estimate the job and I hadn’t decided and he moved all of the large tree brushes from my driveway so I could get out. I went out to pay him and I said I had to go inside and get the tip and he told me to give it to his two guys. He is a true gem!! Thank you for doing excellent work! I was truly thrilled!! I would highly recommend!

My experience with Tree Assault Tree Care was great! Everyone was extremely focused, communicative, and transparent. I had three large pine trees removed, and Joey's team made it look easy. The quote I initially received was fair and representative of the final price. If I need more trees removed in the future, I will definitely contact Joey and his team.
