On a Budget Tree Services - Tree Services Near Me

Never showed up. We agreed on price and a time frame to cut trees and never showed up. Budget price does not matter when he doesn't show up.

Very quick response to inquiry, service scheduled within 2 days, very fair pricing, on time, quick, efficient, great clean-up too.

I highly recommend this company. Larry came out and gave me a fair quote within hours of calling. Showed up on schedule, removed a 30 to 40 foot fallen tree and took extra time and care not to damage anything during the removal. It was pretty incredible to watch. Thanks again Larry read more

I was very pleased with Larry and his crew. I had a massive Laurel Oak tree in my front yard that was dying and diseased. After receiving 5 different bids, I decided to go with Larry's company, On A Budget Tree services. His estimate was about $500 lower than the next lowest. Larry was extremely communicative in setting up a time to bring the tree down. We agreed on a date and time, and he showed up promptly with two other employees and all the necessary equipment. Knowing this was going to be an all day job, they wasted no time and got started right away. I spent most of the day outside with them just observing, which they were totally fine with. They were even willing to cut and stack about 40 pieces of firewood for me. Other than a ten minute lunch break, the crew worked for a solid eight hours. They were very respectful of my property, and kept blowing off the sidewalk and driveway as they worked. They even pulled my mailbox up so it wouldn't be in the way of the bobcat. After the job was done, Larry ran the stump grinder and the two employees were nice enough to scoop up all of the mulch and dump it in a low spot in my backyard. Larry did a great job and I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again! read more

Can't recommend these guys for tree service, enough! We had to have two large grand oaks removed, and some large branches on another tree. After getting the first quote of $9k from another company, Larry from On A Budget Tree Service came in with a $3.9k quote. The first company said they would need to bring in a crane, and it would take three days. On A Budget Tree Service got it knocked out in a day and a half, no crane needed. It is a family operation. They are punctual. They are professional. 5 stars! On A Budget Tree Service Larry Cochrane 727-831-8860 read more

FIND ANOTHER COMPANY! Larry came out to quote the job. We discussed the scope of work and agreed on a price. He showed up on time, but after 1 minute of reviewing the work, he walked away and said he didn't have time for this. He got in his truck and left. I tried to talk to him about it, even texted him after he left to see if he could still do it. No response. I'm so glad I took off work for this twice- once for the quote and once to meet them here to do the job. I would recommend finding another company. Response to Larry's comment below: We discussed ALL the work at the initial visit. If there was a misunderstanding of the scope of the job, he wasn't even willing to discuss it. He just walked away after a minute, pouting about how I was trying to pull one over on him and rip him off (which I wasn't). I stayed calm and just asked to discuss it with him so we could get on the same page, even texted him politely to try and come to an understanding. He totally ignored me and walked off the job without any response. I was totally shocked by this based on our prior interaction. I'm sharing to warn other potential customers so they don't waste their time. It's too bad bc I was a repeat customer. But after this, I'll be finding a new company that treats their customers with respect. read more

Larry did great work. We had 2 large oaks in our south Tampa home that needed to be trimmed back and re-shaped. He was prompt and cleaned up all the debris. I highly recommend him. read more

Was suppose to come out and give an estimate but never did. I should have known when they answered the phone " hey man, what's up?!"

Promised to come out and give me a quote when I call him about the appointment he said he totally forgot about it and never rescheduled

Larry and his crew did an excellent job removing 3 Laurel Oaks from my property. The largest was right on my front door! He was clear on the process and even directed me to obtain permits from the city. All documentation requested from him was provided. His team began work timely. They cleaned up well and you wouldn't know I had 3 trees removed. Highly recommend this company. Thank you for a job well done. read more

Old school service! Love it! I saw their phone number on his work truck. Showed up to bid the next day. Gave me his bid on the spot. GREAT PRICE! Did the work, cared for my property, cleaned up my yard like they were never there! I will call On A Budget next time. Give them a call, you'll be impressed! JR Safety Harbor read more

Great job! Best quote out of 5 total; started work 2 days later, showed up at 9, worked until 5 and got rid of a giant China berry tree and a Camphor tree! Couldn't be happier read more

Larry and his team were troopers in this awful heat! They worked over two days to take out our MASSIVE Monster of a Laurel Oak that was becoming dangerous. My oak was in a tight spot that required expert precision, which they delivered! They worked fast and efficiently and not only did they do a heck of a job, but they also gave us a reasonable price. I'll be sure to post some pictures. I would absolutely recommend these guys! They took it down, broke it down, ground the stump, and hauled it away. I will be calling them again for any tree needs! :) Thanks, guys! :) read more

We had a cat-emergency on a early Saturday morning - our special needs cat, Taz had escaped our screened-in porch sometime during the night and was stuck up a huge tree about 30-40 feet up a straight tree. After calling around to a few places and being refused, we called On A Budget Tree Services. We spoke to Larry and he arrived promptly with a helper. Within 20 minutes I had my boy Taz in my arms safe again. They are incredibly reasonable and only asked for gas money in return for being our knight in shining armor. Can't thank On A Budget Tree Services and Larry and helper enough for coming to Taz's rescue with kindness and professionalism. read more

Fair price, reliable, good work, and know their stuff. They did a great job and he's cut down at least 4 huge trees on my property. The job was done smoothly, efficiently, and they hauled everything away. Just know ... they do NOT show up with a ton of fancy machinery which I assume is one reasons why the cost is a little less. Nevertheless, they show up and do a great job. I strongly recommend these folks. You won't be disappointed. read more

Called twice to get someone to come out and give me a quote. Someone named Larry called back the first time said he would be out later in the afternoon, never showed. I called back 3 days later to try again, same song and dance he would be out closer to 5 PM, never got a call to let me know he was on his way and no show. Begging these guys to take money is pretty bad. If he's unreliable just to come out and give me a quote how reliable must they be at actually the work they have to perform. Don't waste your time. read more

On a budget tree removal did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price. The tree removed was large and tricky with wires and a shed complicating the removal. The job was done efficiently and professionally. They cleaned up everything very carefully. Would highly recommend this company without hesitation. read more

Wow. Just wow. These guys are friendly, to the point, and efficient. They raised a HUGE oak tree, trimmed tall palms, removed a small tree or three, and pruned a ton of bushes. You guys, this was a MAJOR job. I rent, but my property manager does less than nothing to maintain this house. This was years of overgrowth. They charged 750, and everyone I asked said that's a fantastic price. Note that your estimate may be different, so don't hold them to that exact number, but I'm posting mine so you can get an idea of what you're looking at. It was WORTH IT. I had no idea there was an old satellite on the roof, until they did their magic on those bushes and trees. Even the INSIDE OF MY HOUSE is brighter. Then, after they had left, I called and asked if they could return and get rid of two big piles of sticks and a heavy log that I'd been unable to move for years. They came back and did that for me, even though it wasn't part of their job. They cleaned up everything and left the yards better than they found it. I recommend them 100x over. If you need to teach your trees a lesson, call these guys immediately. I saw my neighbor peeping over the fence to check out their work, and the other neighbor was inspired to (or shamed into?) mowing his lawn. They're jealous of me and relieved that my overgrown branch-monsters are not creeping onto their properties. read more

Larry and his sons have very fair prices, arrive when scheduled and do all the work promptly. There are no hidden fees or unexpected extra charges. In fact, they did more than we had agreed upon for the same price! I was impressed by their cordiality and enthusiasm for doing a good job. Btw, if your in the city of Saint Petersburg be sure to get a tree removal permit or it can cost you a bundle. read more

I haven't posted a yelp review in a very long time, but On A Budget brought me out of retirement because they were just so bad. From the beginning he was ambiguous about times and coming to see us - typical contractor BS. After finally pinning him down on date and time, they agreed to trim a couple oaks and palm trees and cut down a couple trees in my yard. They came to do the work unprepared - he had a machine in the shop. The pile of sticks and branches is still in my front yard. None of this was discussed on the front side and since he was paid already he has very little motivation to come pick them up. They rushed so much to get out of here they left tree branches that were cut sitting in my tree that later blew down. They couldn't finish fast enough. Don't call On a Budget if you want someone who takes pride in their work. read more

He will rip you off and not finish the job. I should have followed my gut feeling with this guy. Avoid this company!

Did a great job at a reasonable price. Professional and polite guys. I have used this service several times and they alway do a good job.

Larry and his guys were exceptional. They took down a couple of large trees for me and even trimmed up some I didn't include. They were professional and courteous and did a great job cleaning up and making my yard look beautiful. I'm so happy I chose them and would definitely recommend them. The price was fair and I would use them again!! read more

On A Budget Tree Services (Owner Larry) again did a awesome job trimming my magnolia tree this morning! He is always on time, performs at 100% with total clean up when he is finished! I will only use this company for tree services! Prices are great as well!! Awesome job!! Honest company! read more

On a budget did an amazing job removing 9 trees including complete stump grinding. This was a very large job and they arrived promptly every morning and worked until almost sundown each day. They completely cleaned up after each day of work. All of the team was friendly and personable and went above and beyond what was contracted. More than reasonable prices and we got almost 10 quotes. All work was done safely. I wouldn't use anyone but On A Budget in the future. read more

Larry has done two large jobs for us and been great both times! I would highly recommend this company!

Straight up the best possible company. I work in safety management at construction sites and this crew was top notch. They used all best practices and new what they were doing. Three 40ft+ pine trees w/ electrical wires underneath, and confined in a small yard with a wood fence around the perimeter. There was zero wiggle room for any mistake. They avoided all obstacles and strategically demo'd each tree section with precision. Job was done in 5 hours and they grinded all stumps. I noticed an extra large root coming from the neighbors tree and he did that at no additional cost. The yard was left in pristine condition. Really unbelievable work and the price was extremely affordable. read more

On a Budget Tree Service is the best! They were courteous and professional and reasonable! Larry and Chris came out to remove a troublesome 60-70 foot tree that had been dropping branches near the house. They managed to drop this tree in a matter of hours, cut it into manageable chunks and haul it away (all to the applause of the neighbors). Amazing! Two days later they came back to grind the stump which was straddling our main water line. They cleaned up and left my yard better than I normally do. The work ethic by these two gentlemen is something you rarely see anymore. Larry is a man of few words but great character. Call them. read more

Very happy with the service On a Budget provided today. We had 5 trees removed and they were very efficient, wonderful clean up and very courteous. I would definitely recommend them or will use them in the future if needed. Very affordable. read more

excellent service ..great price highly recomending reliable and professional if u need some tree work go with this one i definitly would use them in the future again read more

So pleased with On a Budget! Very kind people that do excellent work for a reasonable price. Thank you so much, On a Budget!

We called several other tree service companies and they did not want our business as we just wanted one large limb that needed to be removed or they were too busy. I took a chance with Larry from On a Budget Tree Service and I was impressed. Larry came out and gave us a quote that I could not pass up. He not only came out two days later, cut the limb down but also cleaned up where you cannot tell that he was ever there. AMAZING service. HIGHLY recommend !!! read more

I am just going to go with the "if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all." You can get the gist of it from that. read more

On a Budget did an amazing job removing a very large eucalyptus tree that was very close to our home and our sea wall. They showed up early and worked hard all day. They showed up early the following day to remove the stump! On a Budget employs hard workers and their prices are on target. I highly recommend them! read more

Just wanted to say these guys are as good as it gets. I contacted them by phone this week to have a couple queen palms cut down and 7 palms trimmed. They were actually at my house within 15 minutes - FIFTEEN MINUTES!!!! They quoted me a price over the phone. I agreed. Two minutes later they are in the trees. Other than missing two old palm trees, stumps ground and newly trimmed palms- you would never know they were here!!! Cleanup was perfect. AWESOME JOB GUYS - this gives me more faith in the fact that there ARE some businesses out there that want to do it right and please the customer. Oh - and their price was as good as anyone else. read more

I did not and would not use this tree service based on the foreman's attitude. I went around the corner to see which tree was being trimmed or cut down when I heard the saws going. I was concerned that a particularly magnificent old oak was going to be felled. The foreman told me they had a permit to cut a tree and which one it was. It was not the tree I was most concerned about fortunately. As I was walking away, he made sure to tell the young guys with him that I was a "tree hugger" (using it as a term of derision) who was not minding my own business. Of course this was loud enough for me to hear. Everything that happens on my block affecting quality of life IS my business. By deriding "tree huggers", he is showing a lack of respect for both the person and trees. If he is a licensed arborist, he apparently has no understanding of the role trees play on Planet Earth. I can't in good conscience hire people like this. He also set a bad example for the young guys working with him. I would have given no stars based on the fact I did not hire this guy, but to post the review, I had to select one star rating. read more
