They were efficient, reasonably priced, very knowledgeable and took great care of the pine tree. My niece, who lives next door was interested in the wood. so they happily sawed some of the large tree limbs into pieces she could use in her firepit and stacked them in her backyard, no charge. These guys are great and I'll be using them for all future tree work.

If I could give more than 5 stars I really would. This was the first time we have ever had to hire…read moresomeone for tree removal as first time homeowners and the wonderful team at Made in the Shade were so patient and helpful through the whole process. From the consultation to finishing the job, the whole crew were wonderful. We received 3 independent quotes and Made in the Shade stood out for many reasons. Their partnership with the Tucson Zoo to take African Sumac branches to feeding the animals, their polite nature, their wealth of information, and patience while answering my many, many questions. Every single member of their crew involved in the job were polite, wonderful, and had a great sense of humor. They were incredibly thoughtful in their work, being respectful of our home, and went above and beyond with taking care to work around our grumpy desert tortoise. They removed a large palm tree, a stubborn olive tree stump, an African sumac, and a cypress. These trees were either dying, causing damage to retaining walls, or potential threats if fallen over in a storm. After the crew came out it doesn't even look like any of these plants were there. We will be referring and working with Made in the Shade in the future. (Photos to follow)

Tucson Arborists Professional Services (TAPS) are licensed, insured, and certified. EXCELLENCE!…read more We have a thirty-year old, 60' ft. Mexican Palm Tree. Through the years having it trimmed by different contractors, it has accumulated holes in its trunk from the spikes trimmers wear to climb tall palms. So this time I decided to hire a certified palm tree trimmer at Tucson Arborist Professional Services (TAPS). This company is quite unique: although they offer the usual palm tree trimming using spikes, they also offer "spikeless tree climbing." That's where they actually climb the tree without spikes using safety ropes, in accordance with the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), and use a special Japanese saw to manually cut the fronds and also shaves with a razor to make the trunk smooth. The end result is a beautiful regal palm pruned to the proper "10 o'clock and 2 o'clock position." I couldn't be happier! The customer service is top-notch. For my free estimate the manager came with the tree trimmer and arrived promptly at the scheduled time. We then set my appointment for palm trim 9am Tuesday November 12, 2019 and again they arrived promptly on time. We confirmed the appointment via text the day before. This is important to me, as so many other contractors in the area are often late, and some don't show up at all! The crew is clean, professional, polite, friendly, and speak fluent English. The manager (Bear Bailey) is very knowledgeable and he oversees the job onsite the entire time the trimmer is there. The trimmer (Gabriel Tadeo) is more than a trimmer, not only is he knowledgeable with years of experience, but he's an ISA Certified Arborist® and also an ISA Certified Tree Worker Climber Specialist®. He is healthy and fit and I was amazed to watch him climb 60 feet using just ropes! SAFETY is their #1 objective and they take time to set up and prepare the job site so everything goes smooth. They use a safety line for emergency personnel to easily locate them. They also communicate via walkie-talkie (this is important from high up 60 feet behind fronds). They leave no debris behind and clean up as they go along. Gabriel used his special hand saw (not a chain saw), so there wasn't sawdust and chunks of palm fronds everywhere at the foot of my palm. Bear picked up the fronds as Gabriel sent them down so at the end there was no mess anywhere! At the foot of my palm I have succulents growing as ground cover, not one was smashed nor disturbed. It was windy out so some of the small pieces flew into my neighbor's yard but the crew made sure that was cleaned up too. Their prices are competitive and affordable, but not cheap. Just remember, you get what you pay for. I've had cheap services in the past, where they disfigure the tree and leave a lot of mess behind. But not so with TAPS. TAPS also provide other services like staking, bracing, transplanting, shrubs/bushes, landscaping, stump and tree removal, insect management, and maintenance. They can trim small, medium or very large trees; Mesquite, Pines, Eucalyptus, Fruit and trees of all kinds; and certainly the usual palm trimming using spikes. Would I use TAPS again? YES! I already have them on my calendar for next year's trimming.

It's 108 degrees here in Tucson, and our 8-10 Mesquite trees look so "down". They've grown such…read moreheavy pods this year that they appear to be willows in the making! So, I used Yelp and contacted at least 8 arborists. I was able to schedule four estimates, but I decided on Tucson Arborists after two estimates. When they came out, it was apparent to me (a botanist's daughter) that they definitely knew their trees. They showed us a couple of things that we had been doing wrong, and agreed that this was a good time to get this trimming done (prior to the monsoons). They sent me an estimate online that evening. My husband and I both agreed that they were incredibly knowledgeable, and we felt that their price was reasonable, given their expertise. The morning of the work, they showed up before dawn and went right to it. They occasionally interacted with us to discuss trimming a major branch (for aesthetic reasons), and they completed all work and clean up before noon. Bear Bailey and A.J. were the ones who did this work for us. We are totally pleased with the job they did and with their punctuality in getting us an estimate and performing the work. They even helped to recommend a product that would help us control wood beetles. We plan to use them again when we need more trimming--and there's not a better recommendation than that!

After such a thorough investigation by him, I was worried about the cost, but it was all very reasonable. I will definitely use them again. They are very professional, aim to please, and answer all your questions.

We've called 4 times between 8 AM and 10am and they are not picking up their phone. Do yourself a favor and don't even bother wasting your time on calling them. After posting this review, they called my husband back and said they just got his voicemail. She told us they would arrive between 12-1pm. When the crew came they told my husband that they were taken off of another of another job to come to our house. They did a great job. So I'm changing my 1 Star to 4 stars.
