Kodiak did a fantastic job of removing multiple gigantic magnolias and oak trees and several lesser trees next to my house. These are massive trees growing up and over a second story fireplace, The quote was excellent and a huge set of multiple crews did the job in one day! I had been dreading this job...and fearing damage to the structure. I got multiple quotes for this work and found a lot of reputable, good companies. I wish I could have hired them all! But I had to choose one. Kodiak had the crews and the equipment to do this in one day....which I thought would be impossible. Great climbers had to take the trees down piece by piece...so if you need a big tree down near a house, don't hesitate to call them! read more

They were extremely helpful. I explained what I needed done, gave me an estimate and a date for completion . The crew from the company showed up on time cleaned up everything. Did an exceptional job. Throughout the process I was shown what was done and asked if if I was satisfied with what was done. When the job was completed I was shown a complete clean up, I would recommend them for anyone needing a great company. read more

The crew showed up right on time! They were professional & courteous. They worked tirelessly to clear the trees and brush. Their work created spectacular views from every angle. So thankful for their work! read more

This company is the TOP! We have a vacation home in Valparaiso. Adam came out to walk the property and give us a bid. He was professional, knowledgeable, patient and kind. The bid came via email and was through and easy to read. We accepted the contract and they arrived as scheduled. To say we had a lot of work is an understatement. The crew proceeded as a well oiled unit. Sandy was the lead on our job and oversaw all aspects of the 10 man crew while he was removing the chocking vines in our oaks and creating beautiful airy canopies. Kenny climbed the massive oak that needed to be removed and was a PRO. Being a worrywart I was quickly calmed by his expertise in securing himself, his chainsaw and the crew below. The rest of the team removed and cleared of all debris and left my yard far cleaner than when they arrived. Again, this was best experience in the Tree Trimming world.. USE THIS COMPANY you will not be disappointed. read more

The crew arrived early ready to work. They confirmed what I wanted done and got to work. I needed 3 dead trees removed and the stumps ground. One tree was BIG. And they trimmed a tree we are trying to save. They cleaned up as they went and left our yard in perfect order. I even heard them encouraging each other to use good body mechanics! Recommend and will use again. read more

These guys are the best! We first used Kodiak five or six years ago to take down an old tree in the front yard, and it was fascinating to watch them work so efficiently and professionally. We've needed some big and small jobs done in the years since, and they're always first on our call list. I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Outstanding service all round. Came right down to give quote, very reasonable price. They called the day ahead to confirm. Crew arrived a little early, all very polite and professional. Got the big old ugly cedar down and through the chipper in 15 min. They cleaned up all misc twigs and mulch from the stump grinder. A+++++, HIGHLY recommend !! read more

TRUE PROFESSIONALS - KODIAK TREE SERVICE From the initial estimate through completion of the project, the Kodiak Team was outstanding!! They consulted with my neighbors in advance, and made all the necessary arrangements for what looked to be a fairly complicated tree removal, positioned directly on the fence line, overhanging multiple neighbors back yards. Kodiak Tree Service made it look easy with all the right equipment, teamwork, and experience. I had initially assumed a section of my fence would have to be removed, along with a row of red-tops to allow bucket truck access. Ben from Kodiak explained an alternative solution with no collateral affects ( Go Ben...Thank you ! ) I want to further expand that I really appreciated the extra effort from the crew, in assuring no damage to the surrounding delicate trees and foliage. Couldn't be happier with the results !!! ***** GREAT WORK KODIAK ***** read more

Absolutely phenomenal service! We had 10 trees removed - 8 were very large pines surrounded by power lines. They arrived "on the dot" with an army of equipment and workers. Watching them work was a wonder - they are a very practiced team and performed the work in a blur of orchestrated activity. When they left, the yard was spotless. They were courteous and professional, and the prices were very reasonable as well. You can't go wrong with these guys. read more

TL;DR: Trees came down, but he didn't deliver on promised extra work and ruined a wooden gate, an interior chain link fence, and the landscaping around the trees in the process. His crew left various debris and, when trying to fix the problems, managed to put a gate on backwards and couldn't actually fix the chain link fence. Longer version: We looked to Kodiak to cut down trees in our backyard. Kodiak didn't come in as the lowest bid, but Ron, the owner, gave the most comprehensive solution and said that he would do other ancillary work (such as cutting down extraneous limbs and small trees) for free. Ron also walked through how his crew would go through our front yard into the backyard to drive a bobcat into our backyard for pulling out the debris. He wanted $1000 in cash - not credit - ahead of time for renting dumpsters, which struck me as odd. We had to force him to sign his original statement of work to show that we had actually paid - he wasn't forthcoming with a receipt. On the day that the trees were to come down, a work crew showed up around 6:30 in the morning. This was a completely separate crew from Kodiak that had been subcontracted to cut the trees down. Luckily the head of that crew noticed that the route Ron planned out wasn't viable - they would have hit our water supply cap and caused a lot of damage. That meant that they were going to have to go through our backyard into a common area for the neighborhood. They then got to work pulling down the trees, which Ron estimated would be done by noon. They still weren't done at 4 pm. A separate subcontractor showed up with the dumpsters, and Ron showed up with a bobcat to start hauling debris. By the time he was done, he had knocked several holes in our backyard fence, destroyed a nearby chainlink fence, and taken out several sections of our back fence for driving the bobcat. There was at least once where a loud boom was heard as the bobcat dropped a large piece of wood. The bobcat managed to destroy any landscaping it was driven over, of course, which included the backyard and the neighborhood yard. Ron did reach out to the HOA president to describe the situation and promise to fix it. He also promised to fix the damage in our backyard. Ron and part of the crew returned the next day and replaced the broken sections of wooden fence and the large sections of fence taken out in the backyard. The problem is that the gate was put on *backwards* - the hinges were facing towards the public, which negates the point of having a secure hinge. Ron also attempted to replace the chain link fence that was mowed down by the bobcat, but the work was sloppy and he couldn't connect the fence to the pole he had put in concrete. He said that his friend had a come-along to help connect the gate and he would be back. The work was done early in the week, so we were wondering what happened when Ron didn't show up until the weekend. He gave an attempt to connect the fence but couldn't fix it. We waited another week before he came out again, this time with straps that easily reached 60+ feet from the backyard to the driveway. The best part is that he said that the come-along was actually just a common piece of tooling used to connect a chain link fence. I looked it up on Lowe's and he said that it was the part, so I said I would go get it. When I came back, he said that he forgot to mention I would need a ring and screw to connect them. At that point I told him to leave; I wanted him to get a contractor to come out and replace it, but at that point I just wanted him gone. He managed to cut down a few limbs from a maple tree in a front yard but didn't do any of the other promised work. At that point I wasn't sure that he could do the work without further fouling up anything, so I've done it myself. So if you're looking to Kodiak for anything more complicated than a single tree, I would suggest that you either hire out to individual services and save some money or go to another service. read more

Kodiak trimmed neighbors trees and told them they didn't need my permission to cut tree on my property extending over their yard. Now my large oak tree is cut straight up at the trunk-all the above ground weight is over my pool enclosure so I will call a different tree service to remove it... read more

My husband and I used this business to remove a very large oak tree that was located just off of our driveway. They showed up with a large crew and I was originally impressed. It started to rain very heavily as they were finishing the job and they worked through the rain. Once they finished, the guy came to my door to give me the invoice. I was originally quoted $1300 and this guy asked for $1400. Although nothing additional was done, and they didn't appear to run into any complications, I didn't ask any questions because they worked in the pouring down rain and I felt bad. So I wrote a check for $1400. The next day, I noticed a crack in my driveway right where I watched the tree fall onto my driveway. Thinking back, I should have looked sooner because why would a professional let a large oak tree fall onto a concrete driveway? This crack was not there previously and I assumed that they probably didn't notice due to the rain. So I called the office to let them know. The lady said she would have their contractor come take a look. Several days later, after not hearing anything, I called back. She said again that her contractor would come that day (Saturday) to look at it. My husband and I were both home and we never noticed anyone come to our house, nor did anyone ever knock on our door. Several days later (again), I called back and the same lady told me that the contractor did come out and that he said he looked like an old crack! Absolutely NOT an old crack. She said they would be willing to patch the crack anyway. She said that she would have the contractor contact us and come out to discuss it with us. It's been 2 weeks and we still haven't heard. This is a very unfortunate situation. We decided to pay a professional company to remove this tree rather than my husband doing it himself in hopes of avoiding a situation like a cracked driveway. Now, we're out $1400 and have a giant crack in our driveway that no one is willing to admit to or fix. My husband was deployed from January until June. He was only home for 10 weeks before he had to deploy again for the rest of the year. He had to leave with this situation unresolved and will have to come home to a crumbling driveway as the crack is getting worse by the day. read more
