American Tree Works & Lawn Service

Please do not use this company. A terrible mistake was made by this company which has resulted in the loss of beautiful plants and trees and will negatively impact our existing plants due to the shade protection they lost. This company had the wrong address and came to our house without our knowledge or permission. We never hired them or spoke to them. When we called to talk to them about the damage, we never received an apology or acknowledgement that they made a mistake. Completely unacceptable for a small business to treat people this way. It’s one thing to be disappointed in work that you hired someone to do, but we didn’t hire them and our yard did not need trimming or tree removal. The trees and plants in our yard were the result of years of hard work and thought, and it was a beautiful haven for our family. It is gone now and the owners of the company have taken no responsibility. It’s sad and unacceptable

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. THEY RUINED MY YARD AND TREES. Years of mature growth from Oaks is forever gone because of their negligence. All of my landscaping that took 10 years to grow in was wiped out in a matter of hours. And to top if off I didn’t even hire them. Apparently they don’t red or write and came to my address by mistake. Then with out a knock on the door or any notice they just rape the whole yard. They did a horrible job and didn’t even do it at the right address.

I hired George to re-​sod my lawn, and he was awesome! He went above and beyond your typical sod job — he helped level and grade my yard, picked up the weeds and thatch, laid down sandy loam, and trimmed my trees to give my new sod adequate sunlight! He even helped fix my fence gate so it’ll open without hurting the grass!
The sod he worked with was freshly delivered and vibrant — and he also gave great advice on how to care for it and maintain it. He did such a great job that my next door neighbor got his yard done the next week!
George was reasonably priced, very communicative, and did great work — I’d recommend him to anyone!

I moved into a new house two years ago and needed some trees trimmed and some cut down. My neighbor recommended American Tree Works. The crew did exactly as I asked, made some suggestions and I followed them. Now I have some old junipers that are dying. Getting an estimate to remove them and suggestions for new trees in their place. George and crew always clean and sanitize the tools, and they do a great job with clean up. Prices are always reasonable and there are no surprises at the end of the job. Plus these guys are really good people

Facts: I am a new home owner/​former 20 years condo owner in a major TX city. NO experience with tree trimming. Friend wanted to give me a house warming present of tree trimming. House had been neglected and not lived in during the 2010 and 2011 Austin area drout. So about 5 large branches were brown and needed removed, plus some that was hanging on the carport, along with 3 Cedar trees.
George was very nice, gave a bid of $ 1900. I was confused as why so high just to remove a few dead branches and those touching the house/​carport? I was doubtful and could not understand this large fee to take off dead branches, but my friend said go ahead.
The only thing that was good about it was they removed 3 Cedar trees in the back and the 5 large dead branches — BUT THE REST WAS TOO MUCH GREEN LIMBS CUT OFF. THEY WENT CRAZY LIKE A HAIRDRESSER AND TOOK TOO MANY BEAUTIFUL GREEN BRANCHES. NOW MY FRONT OAK TREES LOOK LIKE BONSAI TREES (one of my friends used this exact term when I showed her the before and after photos). WITH THE BACK OAK TREE THAT HAD A LOW TWISTED BRANCH WHICH WAS RESTING ON TOP OF THE CARPORT CORNER ROOF, I told him to take all that on ‘top’ away. George TOOK EVERY BRANCH ‘OVER’ THE CARPORT OFF, SO NOW IT LOOKS LIKE A LOPSIDED TREE! I HATE WHAT THEY DID TO MY WOODED PROPERTY.
Advice: If you hire them, stand in the yard with them to be sure you direct them in what they cut off.

A tree from my yard fell on my neighbor’s house so I called around to get bids. The others I called said it would be days or weeks before I could even get an estimate, much less do the work, but George said he could do the work the very same day, so I hired him.
He charged $ 550 (for a ~40ft tree, which took a crew of three about 3.5 hours to take down and pack up). I honestly don’t know whether that’s a great price because I didn’t get competitive bids, but I can’t see how anyone else could have been much cheaper, and if you factor in that I got same-​day service when others were going to make me wait days to weeks, then the price seems really good.
