We had a total of 6 estimates from different tree care companies. Some companies wanted a 50% deposit even though they were not able to do the work for a couple months. We didn't want to wait that long because we had lost many limbs due to the icy and windy weather in February. We decided to go with Burleson Tree Care because Travis Burleson is the owner of the business and he is also the one who does the tree work. With other companies, someone comes out to give an estimate, but the work is done by a crew. We had a bad experience in the past with a crew who came through and did a poor job, consequently, we felt safer dealing with Travis knowing that he would be doing the work himself. Travis is also very knowledgeable and has the experience we were looking for. [....] Another BIG plus to us was the fact that Travis has a good eye for the aesthetic value of trees. He offered to cut off some of the protruding nubs from prior trims to give the oak a smoother look. Without us mentioning anything, he seemed to value the privacy offered by a lower branch of our large live oak tree (some of the other companies just wanted to remove the large branch altogether). He trimmed back the dead branches and scraggly ones while retaining the privacy we desired. We appreciated Travis' detailed and thoughtful approach. Our tree had not been pruned in about 5 years and many limbs were crossing our power lines. He was great to work with and spent time making sure that the job was complete to our satisfaction. We will hire Burleson Tree Care again. It was a pleasure to work with them.
