Jon's Tree Service

Edit: I've edited my review and added stars to reflect the fact that Jon and his crew returned to finish the job after I posted my original review. I appreciate him honoring his word. Original review: I'm sharing our experience with Jon's Tree Service in the hopes that others won't make the same mistake we did. We used Jon's Tree Service for a tree in our backyard that was threatening our roof and our neighbor's roof. It was a challenging cut, so he ended up charging the top dollar of his quoted price to complete the job. I do appreciate that Jon personally handled a particularly difficult neighbor whose yard was adjacent to the work, but his crew left before finishing the job. We had agreed that they would move the debris from the usable part of our backyard down the hill, and most imp

Jon and crew did an exceptional job of trimming my overgrown Bradford pears before the trees split. Clean up was terrific; they left my yard looking better than it did before they arrived. Crew was punctual, professional, friendly and thorough. Can't say enough good things about Jon's Tree Service.

I would give 0 stars if that was an option and definitely would never hire this company, especially after reading reviews! Today one of Jon’s trucks (or possibly Jon himself) was backing down a blind curve in Mountain Brook and came a few feet from hitting my car. Because I couldn’t tell if the driver saw me as he continued to back up towards me, I swerved around him and pulled up in front of the truck. The driver went absolutely nuts SCREAMING obscenities and cussing me out. This company had several trucks completely blocking a busy road with no signage or anyone managing traffic. Besides being dangerous, the way it was handled was completely unprofessional, unnecessary and rude.

Jon responded quickly to my request for an estimate (2 days), and once he saw my large termite eaten tree leaning towards my house (The bark fell off the tree revealing the dangerous state it was in) he made it a priority to schedule its removal. Difficult to access, tight against other trees - OTHERS QUOTED MORE THAN DOUBLE his estimate, which he kept to. Quoted on a Tuesday, his team was on site on Thursday. They were courteous, efficient, made safety a priority and did a fantastic job cleaning up and promptly hauling away the remnants. That was important, as they had to set up their bucket lift in my neighbor's yard (Thanks neighbors!). Neighbors were so impressed they asked for Jon's business card for their future needs. Per my request, they were careful not to damage my hydrangea just

I can't say I'm thrilled about the job Jon's did for the amount of money I paid. It's all about details; shrubs could have been pruned better, the area between my neighbor's fence and low wall was not cleaned properly, the crabgrass around my driveway and front walk was not trimmed; just a bunch of other details.
