My mother needed to get some overgrown trees pruned that were encroaching on the neighbors home, and BTS came out and took care of it expertly, and at a wonderful price. After getting three seperate quotes, Ballard Tree Service explained their quote clearly, so we went with them instead of the generic "This is just how much this service generally costs" we got from other companies. On top of that, when they came out, they were considerate of how they worked, were careful of our neighbors property and the street, and were done much faster than we though they'd be, and left everything clean and clear. Amazing service and we will absolutely be going with them in the future.
My home backyard has a deodar cedar tree that used to grow very messy and not be pruned for long time. Todd, a arborist have 30 years experience, climb up to the tree top to prune. He did an amazing job. The tree was changed a lot and looked much better than before. This is just I want. I am so happy. Thank you! Todd. and also thank crew Maxx and Jonathan. This is second time working with Ballard Tree Service. Really excellent experience ! Estimator and the officers are all so nice. Plus great price and reasonable price. Thank you, Ballard Tree Service!
I don't think anyone wants to cut down a tree -- trees are brothers. My eucalyptus tree was dying. It covered my yard with willowy branches and I loved it. When the crew came out, they were understanding of how emotional I was about the tree, and the conflict I was feeling about chopping it down. They were friendly, super professional, and they didn't mind me sitting on the sidewalk with my dad watching the way the man in the lift skillfully cut it down branch by branch. All the pieces landed nicely on the sidewalk, they salvaged the big pieces of the trunk (which I hope someone will use), and they did a fabulous job of sweeping the sidewalk, the street gutters, and even the lawn. No one wants to cut down a tree, but if you have to do it, don't hesitate to call Ballard Tree Service. RIP tree. Thank you to the crew.
Crew arrived on time and went right to work. Their clean up afterward was excellent. I am very pleased with the work they did (removed one tree and trimmed another). This is the fourth (or fifth?) job they have done for me. Happy customer.
Ballard Tree Service is great. They gave me a fast and reasonable estimate (that they stuck to!) and even threw in a couple extra snips here and there. They took the time to get the right equipment and team to ensure that my house and other plants were safe during the process. They also were kind enough to leave me with some barrels of chips to use in my yard! Highly recommend.
