Kris and Columbia Tree did an outstanding job on my 2 acre home. They guided me through thinning a property that was in major neglect for years. I plan to continue to use CTS for the foreseeable future. They were prompt, pleasant to work with, and cost effective. 5 Stars! read more

I had a large maple on the property line that needed to be removed. Asked that all possible fire wood be left. They left me 7 little pieces and threw the rest in the chipper. I asked that I have a yard of chips for mulching: nothing, zip. Workers giving me the stink eye. Then they left a 3 foot in diameter laying in my driveway, cut into two pieces. I asked if he could trim a maple tree in the backyard. Everyone who walked into my backyard always said 'what a beautiful tree' and I had my morning coffee under it's shade with the dogs playing. The worker butchered the tree, blunt cut branches, left dead branch, cuts made that had no explanation. Another branch about 4" diameter fell out two years later with saw cuts on it. The tree is now ugly and I can't sit under with my coffee. Price $3200. Asked another tree trimmer and he just said they are 'old school' whatever that means. They clearly don't understand or give a damn. Never ever hire them. There are too many excellent tree people around. read more

I hired this crew to trim a very large hedge and cut down a large tree. The owner told me the crew would clean up the entire mess. The branches were chipped and cleaned up. However, the entire trunk of a 30 ft. tree was left for me to deal with in my front yard. They did cut the tree into about 30 plus pieces, which weighed over 50 pounds each and was impossible for me to pick up. I was told by the workers and the owner that they do not haul away firewood. I do not have a wood stove and did not want the remaining wood in my front yard. I spoke with the owner and he told me he would not clean up the logs. I was left with a giant mess in the front yard. I had to hire someone to split the wood and haul it away. read more

I was given an estimate of 2-3 weeks for them to show up. At 3 weeks, I called and asked when they would come. Kris bluntly told me it would be 2-3 months before they could get to me because "there's a lot of windblown happening." Well, what about my windblown trees that were lying on my neighbor's fence? I was treated so poorly, that I finally found someone else. I do not recommend this company. read more

Kris responded promptly to my call. His guys came out to do the job, arriving at exactly the time agreed. They did a fabulous job, removing a fallen tree and cleaning up all the debris. It would have taken me more than a week with my own tools and equipment, and I still would have had to dispose of the debris. It took them an hour! Well worth the money. I can highly recommend Kris and his crew. All of them were a pleasure to do business with. read more

We would like to thank Chris and His team for the outstanding job they did taking down 4 medium sized trees , limbing up our maple tree, and grinding stumps. They arrived on time and were fast and efficient. Cleaned up after themselves. Worked around our garden and sprinkler system with great care. We would call on them again should the need arise.

I've used Columbia Tree Service several times in the past few years. I love working with Kris and his crew. I've found them to be extremely professional, very knowledgeable and hard working. They take pride in the work they do and will never do anything less than what is best for the health of my trees. I appreciate and trust their skill and have 100% confidence in the work they do. read more

Just .... WOW!! What a professional, knowledgeable, friendly team! I was told by Kris that the guys would be at my house around 7:30 am, and they showed up EXACTLY at that time! They worked non-stop until 1:30 pm, cutting down a massive black cottonwood (80+ years old and three main stumps) and a small choke cherry tree. They put the branches into a wood chipper and dumped them in the location I wanted. They cut down the tree and then cut it into sizable rounds. They ground down the roots that were a trip hazard, as wells as the very large, deep tree stumps. The crew worked systematically; they were a fluid team, and the job was done seamlessly. I will DEFINITELY hire them again in the future! read more

These guys do such a nice job and really know what they're doing. The fact that they're reasonably priced is a huge bonus. They have done a beautiful job on the trees in my parents yard and now on mine. Couldn't be happier! read more

Look no further! Don't even bother getting a second estimate from anyone else. I cannot say enough good things about Chris and his crew. We had some trees pruned, some small trees cut down and also had two very tall trees removed, one being 120ft tall and relatively close to the house. Trees came down smoothly. It was actually pretty amazing to watch them all in action. As the branches came down they were immediately mulched. The crew worked together like a finely tuned machine. The stumps were completely ground down and our property was left very neat and clean. Not even a twig was left behind. All the work was done in a timely matter from the onset of the first call. Very professional crew. Will definitely be calling Columbia Tree Service for any future tree work. read more

My husband called Columbia tree service and spoke with Chris, the owner. Chris set up an appointment and showed up promptly. His crew came out at the decided upon date and time and did all the work. They were fast and efficient and courteous. They even cut the trees into manageable sized pieces, which my husband had said he could handle. After the cutting, the men cleared out all the debris, leaving our property looking neat and clean. We are very happy with the excellent service that Columbia tree service provided. We recommend them highly and will call them when we're ready to address more over-growth issues on another part of our property. read more

Great service. On time, did great job, very no liable on service we needed. Chris is great and Tyler did great job too. Thanks guys

Chris Zorza and his crew at Columbia Tree Service are the best. We needed the trees on our property managed to avoid damage to our buildings. Chris communicated promptly and they arrived exactly when they said they would, so get out of your jammies first thing in the morning because they ARE coming. They did a surprising and fantastic job of clean-up as they went along. Chris gives excellent guidance and advice. Professional service at its best. We highly recommend them. read more

Our Family has used Columbia Tree about a dozen times. We have a large property that needs constant work. Kris Zarza has been fantastic to work with. He and his crew are pleasant, efficient and concerned about satisfying us, every time the come. They have also responded quickly to crises (8 down trees from a wind storm, etc.). They are reasonably priced and always do what they say they are going to do. I cannot imagine a finer service company to work with. read more

Outstanding team of six, excellent equipment. Made quick work of removing four 70-90 ft trees around my house, and trimming others. Efficient, very hard working and courteous employees. I highly recommend COLUMBIA TREE SERVICE. read more

We recently bought a house on two acres with about one acre of forest that had not been taken care of for many years. There were many dead trees, unstable trees, and broken trees. Columbia Tree Service was highly recommended to us by our contractor who is doing remodeling for us. We couldn't be happier with them. The owner Kris is very professional, helpful, accommodating to our schedule, and easy to work with. Because of the amount of work to be done, a crew has been there twice and will come a third time later this summer. The men were on time, well informed about the project, professional, competent, and very easy to work with. They did an excellent job taking down the problem trees, trimming some trees, and leaving healthy trees. They were careful to preserve the forest area as we requested. We give Kris and Columbia Tree Service the highest recommendation. read more

We used Columbia Tree Service to limb up several large firs trees and to remove some oak and pine trees. Kris was excellent to work with to schedule the work and explain the costs. The day of the work the crew arrived timely explained how they would do the work and completed more in a day than we hoped for. They left the job site clean. We have more trees to remove in the future and will definitely use them again. read more
