What Our Clients Say About Our Care
Real feedback from residential & commercial property owners across Tampa.
“They were very professional and wonderful”
Hurricane Milton left our neighbor’s tree on our roof. Not knowing who to call, a colleague referred me to Independent Tree Services, Inc. Christi answered the phone and was wonderful and kind. She was able to get Jordan to come on a Saturday to assess the situation. On Tuesday, his amazing team of Nathan, Adam, Richie and Danny arrived and got to work. In a couple of hours, the tree was gone! They also cleaned up the tree mess and the additional debris from the hurricane in the backyard. They were very professional and wonderful young men. Excellent work. Highly recommend!
“Rockstar service from start to finish”
When our enormous laurel oak suddenly lost two limbs we were faced with having to remove this beautiful beast of a tree which not only posed a major threat to multiple properties but also towered over power lines and a utility pole. It took a month for TECO to schedule the necessary power outage but Marti continued to follow up and communicate the progress. The removal was an enormous job but Chris and his crew stayed late to get this huge job done in two days. They were incredibly professional and took the utmost care to protect our property from any further damage. I had just put in some new plants that I thought would end up as collateral damage but Chris made sure not a leaf on any of them was harmed. They even left the yard more level than it was when they arrived. Having to remove such a majestic tree was truly heartbreaking but the level of professionalism and great communication throughout the whole process made things easier.
“The crew was extremely respectful and attentive”
Excellent service, very reasonable prices. They did a great job removing the branches from over my roof while also ensuring the tree would stay healthy. They also cleaned up my yard and left it looking better than it was before. I definitely would recommend them to anyone.
