They did a good job. We had 3 large trees, a couple of dead trees, and a large branch that had come down in storms that they removed cleanly. They also removed some larger branches that were crowding another tree. The price was good and the workers were friendly and worked quickly. I dinged them one star because one of the branches that was crowding an ornamental tree was only cut back rather than removed. They said they didn't have the right equipment to fully remove it. Perhaps communication between the owner who came out to give us the quote and the work group who came out to do the actual work wasn't quite complete. Not sure. We would have liked it is they had been able to clean up a little more of the debris on our gravel driveway since we have a big event happening on our property in a couple of weeks, but, for the most part, the cleanup was better than expected. I would recommend them. read more

They did an amazing job cutting and removing 5 trees, two of them were huge! They did a great job cleaning up after themselves and the saw dust. The pricing was extremely reasonable. We are very happy with the job and they even left us two slabs from the huge oak tree to make into a table. read more

Terrible! Supervisor Styles said he would be on site, he was not. When I looked out the window, 11 branches from the lower part of the trunk, were cut off my beautiful tree. There was only supposed to be 3 branches cut off way up at the top. These lower branches use to provide privacy and shade, now none.. The tree is about 100-120 feet and the branches any where from 5-7 inches wide! I tried to talk to the men in the tree but they did not understand English and the 'fill in' person in charge could not communicate with them either. Also very unreliable when they would show up. For this job the crew arrived at 5:15 PM, I waited all day and took off from work, no communication on time estimation to keep me in the loop. I also contracted to have them cut down and grind the stump of a pine the same day, the pine was cut down fine, but they could not grind the stump because it got too dark. Three attempts to get them back to grind the stump failed. Not on my part, thiers. Three scheduled times to do it and all no shows! I finally had to hire another company to grind. The office person is nice. read more

A tree fell on our house in the storm! Yikes! Phil and his crew arrived to our rescue within a couple hours, rolling up with a full armada of impressive equipment. Everyone was professional and hard-working and it was a coordinated operation to watch. They scoped the problem and carefully set up their crane before executing the removal - which meant a dramatic lift of the big trunk and foliage over our house and power lines, before setting it into the street and instantly woodchopping it. They worked for hours - until after midnight - and they worked hard. We had a small front tree (with string lights) obstructing their crane's access, and I appreciate that they went out of their way to accommodate it and only trimmed the bare minimum required to get access. They also had to remove a section of fence to do the work; at the end, they restored it and also fully cleaned the site. Even used their bucket truck in the wee hours of the morning to see if tarping our damaged roof was an option, which we appreciated. The cost for emergency/after-hours (and holiday) service was not cheap, but the work was very high quality. And while we initially felt a little sticker shock -- fearing our home insurance might balk at the bill -- our insurance actually thought the size of the invoice was appropriate, given the emergency response, complexity, and the equipment that was required. We're very grateful they came to our aid so quickly. I would not recommend having a tree fall on your house, but, if you ever find yourself in a similar bind, I -would- recommend asking them for help. read more

Like others, I highly recommend Green Tops. John came out the same day I called and quoted a much better price than one other I got. He said the crew could do the work the next day. They showed up as promised and removed a tall tree that was uprooting and tipping over and climbed to remove a large branch in our back yard - all in about three hours. They hauled away everything and the cleanup was spotless. read more

Do NOT waste your money on Green Tops Tree Service! I used them once, never again! They failed to take away branches they'd cut off my trees.....as an almost 81-year-old woman I had to drag them to the curb myself; they damaged my gutter and lacked the professional courtesy of letting me know and making restitution; they sprayed sawdust over my house when cutting a tree down and failed to clean it up; they cut a large branch in my front yard near the street....it fell down during the night when, thankfully, no neighborhood children were playing under it; they failed to cut down a young tree which is now almost dead; and they left a mess of sawdust in the street, the only tree service on my neighborhood that's not cleaned up after itself. I called to complain about all this but have had no response. I could not urge prospective customers more strongly to find a reliable firm! I just now went outside and noticed that a young-ish tree in front of my house had fallen over....dead. Why did the GT arborists not notice that the tree was very ill??!! They should have alerted me since I do not have the expertise in trees that they allegedly do....and the tree was a "stand-alone" so they could hardly have missed it!! I am furious!!!!

Don't waist your time. I took off work twice to meet with Philip the owner to obtain a quote and to go over what i need for 5 large trees. He never showed up for either time. The first time they did call to cancel. However, THEY called me to reschedule but the Phillip still didn't show up??? No call nothing. read more

Beware of this company - do not hire them under any circumstances. We got a quote specifically with the purpose of reducing the height of a tree that is too tall and close to my neighbor's house. After trimming two side branches, they said they could not trim the top "because it could harm the tree". Then why was I still charged 2k? When I complained that the service was not done and I would not pay the full price for what they did, they pointed to the fine print on the contract saying that I am responsible for all legal costs - so I inadvertently signed my rights away. No one looking at the before and after pictures of the tree can tell any work is done on the tree at all. Also, the owner did not respond to phone calls but called back immediately when I said I would not pay - they are screening calls for upset customers. read more

I responded to a mailbox flier and set up an appointment for an estimate. They came by a day earlier and gave us a price. The negotiated price was lower than the initial estimate and was fair. The two crews who worked my property were friendly and professional as I checked on the progress throughout the day. The only advice I might offer is to be very clear on what the work will entail if you aren't familiar with "tree lingo" - for instance what gets left in place, what gets chipped, what size logs you want, if they are to be left or hauled off. For obvious reasons, all choices can result in different prices. Bottom line: I would hire them again. read more

On January 14, 2025, 5 workers from Green Top Tree Service arrived at my backyard. In 4 hours, they took down two trees that were growing into power lines. They pruned another tree, removed the stumps and did a complete clean up. Their climber was amazing! All was done at a reasonable price. I recommend Green Tops Tree Service to you. read more

Responded to a flyer left in my door. They came right out to give me a quote to remove a dying oak tree in my backyard. The quote was reasonable, so I scheduled the work to be done. Received a call the following day asking if they could start right away. Sure! Their climber scaled the tree and had all 80 feet on the ground in an hour. Then they did a great cleanup. Of all the tree services we've used, Green Top has been the best. Highly recommend. read more

Green Tops Tree Service are the best. They are professionals. We had them come over to trim and remove bushed in the front and rear of our son's house. Here was a huge bush in the front yard the branches were touching the ground. evidently it had been that way long before our son bought the house. It turned out that the bush was an overgrown tree. It is beautiful now. They cleaned up the debris. I can't say enough about the care, work ethics, excellent staff. We highly recommend Phillip and his staff at Green Tops Tree Service! read more

John is amazing and a man of his word. They gave me a price over 1k less then the previous estimate I received and knocked out the job immediately. They even trimmed the bottoms of the remaining trees and removed a huge rock in my yard which they didn't have to. I would highly recommend as he was upfront about his opinions and honest about the expectations. John knows more then I do about the trees and probably more then most people- I would just tell him what you are trying to accomplish and then just listen to what he recommends. Will definitely use them again if I ever need trees removed. read more

Right after 2 weeks that they trimmed our tree, a huge rotten branch felt down on our trampoline. It's been 2 weeks we call them but they don't respond. read more

We highly recommend both Phillip, the owner of Green Tops Tree Service, and John, who gave us the estimates. We had a dying maple tree in our front yard that couldn't be saved and had to be completely removed without damaging our septic system underground. Green Tops gave us the lowest bid, out of three bids, and did a thorough job. We walked our property to see if there was any more tree work they could do for us and came up with a short list. My husband and I were very pleased with their excellent work ethic, the care they took to trim the other trees and bushes, and the clean-up of our driveway and lawn areas. Two thumbs up! read more

Asked them to cut back about 20 feet, trees that would hit the house. Came home and they had cleared about half acre, good oaks and all. They left behind pieces of equipment. Called several times to discuss these issues and have NEVER received a call back. Extremely disappointed. read more

Conducted my due diligence and sought 2-3 estimates for tree and shrub removal. Decided on Green Tops Tree Svc after meeting the owner. I could not have been more pleased. The team was outstanding. Showed up on time, did exactly what I asked for, and cleaned up the mess afterwards. Even before removing an odd bush by the driveway, one of the team members wanted to be sure I knew that the remaining bushes would have one bare side where the odd bush was. The tree they thinned out and scaled down looks AMAZING!! They were very thoughtful. One of our best experiences with a contractor. We are definitely a fan and a solid customer. read more

I contacted a couple of Tree Trimming Services serving the Sterling, Virginia area. While I know some businesses are struggling to make ends meet due to COVID, I felt the initial estimates I was given were out of line for the work needed. Based on that, I stopped seeking estimates until I received GTTS's flyer in the mail, so I called them. John gave me an estimate I felt was very reasonable, and today the Crew, led by Doug, showed up, on time: 5 guys, a cherry picker, and a large chipper. My job was the first of 4 they had (all larger than mine I was told), and this crew, with their equipment, got the job done in 45 minutes. I'm quite satisfied, and I'm so glad I called them. After so many out-of-line estimates, I almost missed finding a tree service that is dependable, reasonably priced, and one that does a hell of a job. Oh, by the way, if you were expecting GTTS to be at your house in the morning on 2/24/22 and they were a little late, I'm the one who should apologize to you. They did an amazing job cleaning up my yard. The yard under the oak tree they were pruning was littered with a lot of tiny pine branches that broke off from adjacent pine trees during a windstorm here in Sterling two days earlier. The large oak branches fell on the pine branches and everything got removed. The final little pieces of tree debris were cleared with rakes and a leaf blower. This extra work clearly delayed their arrival at your house. read more

Called them after receiving their flyer. When they did come the only English speaker spent about a minute going over the job and pointing things out to one crew member who knew some English and then left. They did not communicate well and destroyed trees by cutting pack way more then supposed to. At the same time, guys were cutting other things in another part of my property - NOT as instructed. I had them stop before complete because there was no consideration to ascetics when blindly trimming. Everything was being cut with super speed in mind. Next morning noticed there was $1400 damage to my car where there trucks and shredders were. I have called at least 8 times and they refuse to call back. Horrible! read more

I find a lot of these reviews shocking, as I had nothing but a great experience with this company! Amanda was very attentive while setting everything up for me. They guys came out and did what was asked quickly and efficiently. Definitely recommend for your tree service needs. read more

Green Tops went above and beyond in clearing a very aggressive Wisteria from our yard and the tree tops it had begun to overtake. They also trimmed another vine and removed several small trees at a reasonable price. I highly recommend. read more

If great customer service is a top priority for you, this company is NOT for you. We signed a contract with them and was promised that work will be done within 3 weeks. 2 months later, work still has not been done. A simple phone call would've been appreciated. I tried to call and got no answer. They even have their phones set up where you can't even leave messages. I e-mailed and still NO response. I finally got a hold of Amanda. Apologies, apologies, apologies, a little bit too late. They say no job is too big or too small but I beg to differ. If your contract is not as big as the next client they put you in the back burner. Word of advice, treat every client fairly with respect. If you don't want to waste your time on a small job, don't waste mine! I would rather spend my hard-earned money somewhere else.

Recent winter snow storm knocked down three large tall trees - onto roof and against house. Three companies were called to provide estimate for exact same work. John of Green Tops gave a fair quote; and as agreed arrived with full crew two days later, cut away all three trees (climbed up on snow covered roof, and cut up all trees on patio), then cut stumps down to ground level; then returned two days later just as next snow was falling, with two additional pieces of equipment, to clean up and removed all debris. Very pleased with company and with people, Would hire them again. read more

Is this company real?!! We've called and called. Emailed and emailed. Got an estimate. Was told it would be down before Halloween. Again never heard back. Emailed again and Amanda said Mr. Ellis would call us. Guess what? Still no call!!! We got flyers for weeks from this company, you'd think they'd want the business. Quoted us $500 for A tree!!! This is THE most unprofessional company I've encountered in YEARS. Anyone know a good tree service?? read more

This company placed fliers throughout our neighborhood and I had two trees I needed trimmed and cleaned up. I called their number and left a message providing all of the information they requested including my address and return call number and they never called back. I waited a few days and tried calling one more time and this time spoke with a woman who scheduled an appointment time. they called the night before to reschedule the time - I'm pretty flexible so agreed to the new time. They never showed up, they didn't call - they just blew me off without a concern or care for my time or business. I consider myself lucky. If I had made the mistake to hire these clowns, then who knows what kind of butchery they would have done....It's not that they did a bad job, they didn't do ANY job and treated a potential customer like something they scraped off their shoe. As far as this company goes, stay away - look at the other reviews - this company is probably one of the worst in the area and certainly isn't reliable, accountable or consumer conscientious - let these clowns go out of business because they sure have one crappy service record - I'm glad they never showed up - I'd probably be regretting it like so many of their other misfortunate customers - a total loser company. read more

Don't use this company. Summary: they were late, the lead person on site was rude, and they damaged our landscaping and hardscaping. We had them take down several medium to large trees in our backyard, very close to the house and landscaped areas. Before they began, we asked them to be careful with the landscaping and flagged and fenced areas where they should not damage. They completely disregarded our instruction. They came late (3pm) and seemed to be rushing to finish before sundown. As a result, they were being very sloppy. Rather than cutting limb branches first and then chopping the tree down in pieces, they felled the trees. Mind you, this is in a very tight space where there was no room to fell a full-sized tree. They climbed other trees but cut them down in huge pieces that fell everywhere. As a result, plantings were completely destroyed, temporary fencing to protect delicate plants was pulled out of the way, benches and pots smashed, 5 antique in-ground lights destroyed, and the power was cut to our outside lighting during stump grinding (for which we will need to higher an electrician). I repeat: don't use this company. read more

My next door neighbors hired this company to take out a large number of trees. The workers were extraordinarily kind---to me, the neighbor! They helped me lift my lawn mower out of my car, walked me through a problem I thought I was having with it (turned out if was nothing!), & they leaf-blew my driveway TWICE, unsolicited, because of the dust & debris being generated from the job next door. Kudos, Green Tops!!! read more

green tops tree service keep up the great work they all ways get the job done on time i would recommend them to my friends

I am amending my previous review increasing my rating from two stars to three stars because (after three weeks and several telephone calls) they finally came and removed the large tree branches that the left hanging in adjoining trees after cutting down several large trees in my back yard. As I said in my previous review, they did a very good job cutting down the trees but could have done a better job cleaning up the work site. read more
