I was worried about our big, old Bois d'Arc tree. I love this tree, and I was losing it. Blue Ox came out right after I called and I could tell the owner loved trees. He seemed excited to see our tree and even measured it, thinking it might be a record size. He told me that my tree was at the end of its life and told me how to best take care of it. He did all of this for free. He didn't profit from our meeting but he freely shared his knowledge about trees. I would highly recommend Blue Ox to take care of your trees and give you honest, wise advice! read more

I totally forgot to update this ! The job was well done and giving you a free estimate is tops! read more

Excellent job on my tree, and no branches left behind to sit on my curb for weeks. Arrived on time and left everything clean and tidy.

Incredibly knowledgeable. Good listeners. Do what they say they are going to do and very approachable. Definitely will continue to use!

Trees - I enjoy their shade & the sound of their leaves rustling on the wind, but a recent home purchased in Fort Worth came w/some real tree challenges - 2 diseased giants & 1 w/a superheavy branch hanging over a neighbor's home. Ugh, what to do? Thankfully, Blue Ox Urban Forestry was recommended. First, there's the owner-arborist, Clint, who is a tree whisperer wizard w/mad climbing, cutting, teaching & leadership skills. Then, there's the rest of the onsite crew who are efficient, friendly & keep everything uber-tidy, & the business manager, Laura, is so nice & helpful. I look forward to recommending Blue Ox Urban Forestry to others & say the co. deserves 10 stars not a mere 5. read more

See all

What a great company. I can't say enough about how respectful, kind, and knowledgeable they are. They truly care about their customers and about the work they do! They are also very reasonable and fair in their pricing. In today's world it's so refreshing to still find business like Blue Ox that cares about people and loves what they do! read more

Highly recommend. These guys do excellent work and won't butcher your trees. They are very thoughtful in what they remove.

We were concerned about a disease on our front tree....we called, they set an immediate appointment, arrived on time, gave us great advice and explained how to care for the tree....could not ask for more. read more

Recent storms just blew giant chunks of our big, magical backyard tree down. Thankfully the giant branches all missed our house, but we still had the equivalent of three fairly decent sized trees down in our yard. We've got 18 trees on our property and knew we would eventually have to talk to someone about how to keep them alive, so this seemed like the universe was telling us the time had come. Thankfully Clint, owner of Blue Ox, and his team were available. When scheduling, the very kind receptionist asked about the damage and asked if it was okay if we were scheduled for an appointment four days later. She was very thoughtful in asking how urgent our situation was, which it wasn't at all so I'm amazed they were still able to get out so quickly. I was even more amazed to find out the owner himself would be coming out, on a Saturday no less. Clint was very polite and clearly very knowledgeable. He could instantly identify all of the types of trees we have, what their special characteristics are, and even sent us an email with watering advice. His email that accompanied our quote demonstrated his love for trees, including a description of our tree as "superior" and expressing a desire to climb into our canopy, which I only giggled a little at. We didn't have to be home while work was done, payment was handled online after the job was done, he let us choose things a la cart from the quote since we have so many trees, and was just overall a total pleasure to work with. The only downside was I found out my magical ferngully tree that I was sure was at least 200 years old was planted in the 1970's. Sometimes knowledge hurts, but the quick, polite, and cost effective work was worth one small dream bring crushed. read more

Nicer bunch of people you couldn't find in ANY industry. Pleasant, professional, confident, reassuring, Clint and his team will take the time to tell you what they're going to do and why to keep your tree healthy and beautiful. Regarding quotes, we received some from other arborists that were right in the same range - but one could tell the thinning of our ash tree which can be seen from space, (yeah, it's that big,) was something Clint immediately took personally. For a moment he sounded as if he was a Veterinarian telling us how to keep Fido alive and kicking and not a tree! They had to go into both neighbors' yards to get the job done leaving each area CLEANER than it was when they got there. They even raked up a bunch of dead leaves from our backyard that they were not responsible for. (Something like 4 full bag's worth.) With about 10 minutes left to go it started to rain - a lot. We told the guys that we'd finish up raking when it stopped raining but Clint insisted they finish what they started. (I even offered to get pizza for everyone halfway into the job - Clint appreciated the offer but was steadfast in getting the job done.) So if you CARE about your trees and you want to hire people that are TRAINED in knowing what they're doing by some wonderful people, definitely, give them a call. Just do it. read more

My husband and I have two beautiful established trees in the front yard that were unfortunately riddled with mistletoe and causing a lot of stress to the trees. It was on our list of things to take care of before winter ended. I contacted a few places to get some quotes and I had people come out and tell me I needed to cut down to 10' above the crown of the tree, some people who didn't know what they were talking about (like what kind of trees they were), and then lastly, Clint, with Blue Ox. He gave his assessment of the trees, knew the type of tree variety right off the bat, and gave a fair pricing (along with a breakdown of what services they provided). He and his team came back a few days later and spent 7 hours in my two trees making sure every piece of mistletoe was cleared out. Their work ethic is exactly what you want (safe, precise, and efficient), customer service, excellent, and pricing is more than fair. I cannot recommend them enough! My husband and I always try to use family owned/local businesses and Blue Ox Urban Forestry is by far one of the best! read more

Clint looks a lot like Paul Bunion and loves what he does. He showed up on time w a group of very proficient helpers and removed hundreds of limbs from various trees on our farm property. He is very knowledgeable, well trained and equipped . He recommended waiting on an ancient live oak to a less susceptible time of year ( to avoid oak wilt). It's hard to tell where he removed the branches from most trees, it was done so cleanly and well. Not a twig a debris was left behind. I highly recommend. read more

I cannot say enough about Clint and Blue Ox Urban Forestry! We hired Clint to come and trim our large trees away from the house. The Blue Ox team was on time, reasonably priced and were very professional. Clint explained all that they were doing and you can tell he really cares about his craft. We were very pleased with their work. We are from AZ and recently moved here, so we know nothing about how to take care of our yard here. So After our appointment he even took the time to come back to our home and walk us through all of the plants and trees on our property and how to care for them. He then sent us an email with a full run down of everything we went over. We now feel like we can confidently care for our yard. Clint and his team go above and beyond. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

We called a handful of people to look at our trees and after Blue Ox Forestry came out, we decided they were going to take the best care of us and they did. They weren't condescending because you don't know what types of trees you have like one of the other companies. They are also more than willing to answer any question you have and seem to have a joy about it. Also, I didn't feel like I was constantly being upsold like I was at a used car sales lot. I highly recommend them! read more

When I was out of town recently, a large limb from a tree in my backyard fell onto my house (touching a power line!) after a lot of rain. Upon realizing this, I became a bit nervous because of the power line issue. Thankfully Clint from Blue Ox Urban Forestry came over right away to assess the situation. Clint told me what to say to my electric company to get them to temporarily disconnect the power line while his awesome team removed the branch in addition to cleaning up other dying branches on the tree. His team was very professional, efficient, and kept me updated throughout the entire process (as I was at work). I'd recommend Blue Ox Urban Forestry to everyone with any tree needs! They were knowledgeable and great!! read more

I hired Clint and his team last year to manage our trees. I couldn't be happier with the results. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. There are lots of people around who would trim up your trees, but Clint and his team are the real deal as Certified Arborists. They provided me with a wealth of information about the trees on my property and how to best manage them for the long term. read more

The guys are complete professionals. Gave a fair quote which I approved and on the day of the work they went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. I will certainly use them again. read more

Excellent service! Professional and knowledgeable. Shows up on time. Took down five 35 ft trees in my backyard and very carefully fell them and removed them without damaging the lawn, house, or fence. And, they blew and raked the yard clean when the job was done! Easy to do business with. I'll use them from now on. read more

They just left from trimming our trees and they were amazing. Only good things to say about the whole experience. They even blowed all my sidewalks and drive way to make it look like they weren't even here. They also moved all our furniture back just the way we had it. I highly recommend them. read more

Client and his team have come out to my house a few times for different jobs. Each time I have found everyone to be both professional and knowledgeable. I could not recommend a better company to use than Blue Ox, I know I will continue to use them for my own personal needs. read more

Used this company for a second time and am still overly impressed with their knowledge, professionalism, and work ethics. My live oak and pecan trees are once again beautiful thanks to their work. Could not have asked for a better bunch of guys to depend on for caring for my trees. This group is amazing plus being affordable! Each one so polite, hard working and concerned with keeping the trees healthy. They will be my go to company from now on. Cannot say enough good things about their work. Left my yard spotless! A big THANK YOU to each of them! If you love your trees this is the company to use!! read more

I hired Clint a few years ago to help prune my new live oaks. He was great to work with and he has a great attitude. He is not only knowledgeable but also kind and helpful. I wanted to hire an arborist and was so happy to find his business. I'm getting ready to hire him to come out and prune my trees a second time! Looking forward to working with him again. #returncustomer read more

Thank you to Laura for being thorough and professional, we appreciate it. Excellent experience overall, very knowledgeable and willing to educate us while they were working. Will certainly use again. read more

Clint and his crew are great! He came out and walked the property with me and listened to all that I wanted and advised on the best way to handle things. On the day the work was to be done Clint and his crew showed up early and ready to work. They didn't leave until the work was done and everything was picked up and clean. Walking though the yard that evening the only sign they had been there were my now trimmed and great looking trees! I highly recommend Clint for his expertise, professionalism and courteous attitude. read more

A friend of ours referred us to Blue Ox for some tree work. We needed a tree removal, some pruning and general advice on some other trees in our yard. After getting a few bids, we decided to go with Clint and his team. His prices were competitive and worth every penny. We felt reassured knowing he was a certified arborist and lots of experience. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. His team worked quickly and cleaned up everything when they left. We will definitely be using Blue Ox again for future projects. read more

I'm not a reviewer, much less for tree pruning--but dang, this guy deserves some good publicity. He was incredibly helpful, responsive, professional, and thorough. Moreover, his pricing was economical and scheduling was easy. If that weren't enough, he was very courteous, being quiet to respect our sleeping baby's nap. He did a fantastic job with our trees and shrubs and our yard (finally) looks less jungle-like. I'd recommend him 1000 times over. read more

Great service, and a reasonable price. Prompt response to quote request and very personable and knowledgeable group. This was our first experience needing tree service and they did so much more than simply trim trees. They shaped our trees and provided guidance for future tree care and maintenance. We will be giving them a call again in a few years when we need an experienced arborist again. read more

Clint and his crew are amazing. They took care of a tree that was trying to take down my retaining wall and was knocking shingles off my neighbor's roof. Clint is also very knowledgeable, communicates well regarding their schedule, and was kind enough to take the time to talk to me about all the other types of trees on my property. He and his crew are also very courteous which is something that I appreciate. read more

Clint and his team were great! He quoted us to remove two trees and their stumps, and it was just barely more than what another company had quoted to just remove one tree. When we asked how much extra it would be to grind an additional stump, he just lumped it in the price of the tree removals. They arrived when they said they would. Clint worked with the city to have our utilities marked so we didn't have to worry about it. And when they couldn't grind down all the stumps same day, Clint offered to either lower the price, or come back again later to remove it. This is just a great group to work with! If I have any more needs involving trees, I will call him again. Also, their shirts are cool. read more

These guys are the absolute best in the DFW Metroplex! The owner, Clint, responded promptly to my initial inquiry, and offered us a fair estimate based on several pics of the trees on our property. After setting an appointment, he kept in touch via text, arrived on time as promised, and did an excellent job. My family is well pleased with the service and the price that he quoted. It's just too bad that Clint doesn't have a remodeling business as well, because we would definitely hire him for the remodel on our home. Just awesome! read more

Clint was Awesome! He went over everything we wanted and answered all of our questions. His work was very good and professional! I will use his services again. read more

Blue ox did a great job removing some bushes at the front of my house. They were easy to stay in contact with and did exactly what I wanted them to. I love the way my house looks now! read more

Phenomenal service and great guys!!! The lady that answers the phone is very nice, professional, and on top of the scheduling. Very knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy company all around. We needed a large hack berry removed and of all the quotes we received and others that we talked to, none were as good as Clint. Clint was the only one to think long term and beyond just cutting down a tree. The process was seem less from scheduling an estimate to completion of the work, and I felt comfortable and in good hands the whole time. He also really helped with all other aspects of our yard from trees we had and those that would add character and withstand our Texas climate and soil. Very helpful, never rushed, and extremely knowledgeable. They are definitely our go to guys from now on! read more

I spoke with several businesses when my beloved oak tree was in peril. A few seemed competent and knowledgeable, but only Clint seemed all of this and like he wanted what was best for the tree. His estimate was more than fair and my husband really had a good gut feeling upon meeting him. It's almost been half a year and I have no regrets. read more

Clint is a cool guy and honest guy. My tree broke during a storm, I messaged Clint through the Yelp messaging tool and his team was able to cut the broken limbs and remove them from my property within a few days. I highly recommend this company. read more

This is not your ordinary tree service. Clint *knows* trees. We asked him to plant a special memorial tree in our yard. He asked lots of questions about our needs, tested the soil, and looked carefully at all the other trees in the yard to assess their health. They were already doing great, but since he was so careful with the special tree we asked him to service the others also. Again he was super thoughtful in the way he approached this. He also left us a very detailed hand written note about how to care for the new planting. We have our "forever" tree guy! Hire him. You will be so glad you did! read more

Once again we have chosen Clint and Blue Ox Urban Forestry to manage our trees in our 43 year old yard. He worked with my busy grandma schedule and did great work once again. He came and got the work done quickly, leaving the yard so clean the only way you would know they were there was by the sunshine coming through the leaves of freshly groomed trees. I highly recommend Clint and his team to take care of ANY tree issues. I am especially glad to have him do our work because he is an Arborist, not just someone coming through the neighborhood chopping down trees. He cares about what the customer wants, but he is protective of the trees he leaves behind. Professional work and an excellent job again. You won't be disappointed with his work, his high ethics, his quote and your outcome! Thanks again Clint read more

All of the glowing reviews for Blue Ox are well-deserved! I have two large pecan trees with large branches overhanging my roof on both the side and back of my house. After receiving a quote from another well-reviewed site, I contacted Blue Ox to get a 2nd quote. The owner, Clint, contacted me quickly and came out to walk the property with me. We discussed the options for addressing the problem. You can really tell that Clint knows his trees and wants to address the problem while still ensuring the health of the trees. Bonus because this is the only tree trimming service I found which carries workers comp for the employees in case they get injured. To me, this is a sign Clint cares about his employees and wants to make sure they are cared for if they are injured, even though carrying this insurance means more cost to his company. With other companies, an injured worker means the homeowner could theoretically get sued. They were able to come out one week earlier than originally planned. Both of the workers who came out were extremely polite and friendly. After finishing their work, Mike walked me around to show me their work and asked if I liked what they had done. They did such a great job of cleanly removing the branches at issue and other dead limbs while still leaving the tree looking like a tree and not just chopping off everything. Also, they cleaned away all of the branches and other debris so you could not even tell they were there. Summary: fast communication, great work, no bait-and-switch issues with billing, and they were significantly cheaper than other companies. read more

I second the reviews below. This guy rocks. Good service. I highly recommend these guys. You can go wrong with them.

We have worked with Blue Ox on multiple projects at out home, and are extremely satisfied with their work! Clint is a true arborist professional and is very knowledgeable regarding care, maintenance and removal. I highly recommend them to anyone who cares about the look and health of their trees! read more
