We have had Pat and his crew out more than once to trim and thin out the trees on our property and each time they have done fine work, have cleaned up everything, and left it looking much better and much safer. The whole experience from first call to quote and completion is just no nonsense, no hassle, and I highly recommend their service. read more

If I could give a negative star I would. I am not only unimpressed with his work crews but unimpressed with their work that they did. Over priced for the quality of work. read more

If it's trees then it's Gallagher's Tree Services you need. No Joke 5 star services...5 star treatment...5 star ethics! This is the third job - each exceeds the other. Notwithstanding the great service, cleanup is just as good. This is where yu want to do business! read more

I WOULD NOT USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN. My neighbor had contacted this company. I saw Pat giving an estimate, I asked him to give me a bid. The bid was to remove 1 large silver maple branch (10-12" parent cut) about 20 feet above and to top an old dead tree about the width of a telephone pole (see photos). These were both in my backyard. He initially quoted me $4500! I almost fell out of my chair (another company quoted me $1080 last year for the branch and to trim a few branches from the dead tree, but they never followed up). Pat negotiated down to $2000 which still seemed a bit high. I decided to give them a chance because Pat mentioned being a small company with 44 years of "excellent service". I wanted to help support the small business. He even raved about doing business with ex-Blues and ex-Cardinals. During the initial interaction, I asked Pat about how they removed branches, if they used ropes, and (after sarcastic replies about dropping it on my shed), Pat assured me it would be done right with no damage. He mentioned that they use a lift which makes the process much more safe and effective. I asked if moving the lift would damage my yard. He said they put plywood down to avoid that and if it rains, they will not do the the job if the ground is soft and damp. Needless to say, it poured the night before. Going against his Pat's assurance to me, the crew showed up after it rained all night and proceeded to move the lift to my backyard. They did put plywood down to transport it, but the ground was really damp. I was worried. As they began the job, I watched as the lift operator/trimmer cut large branches and launched them to the ground below. I had a stack of decorative river stones and cinder blocks (makeshift compost bin) that had numerous branches dropped on top of them, scattering many stones (see photo). They didn't bother re-stacking any. They certainly did not use ropes. Unfortunately, I had to leave for work. It was probably best because this was hard to watch. I was nervous the whole time branches were dropped from 25-30 feet above. On my way out, I tipped one of the laborers and thanked him (prematurely) for taking care of my yard (thinking he'd get the hint). When I returned home, I was severely disappointed. There were two ruts in my lawn (approximately 5-6 feet long) where the lift was moved (see photo). A 12" diameter hole in the ground about 6" deep next to my shed (see photo; no shed damage) AND the large silver maple branch WAS NOT COMPLETELY REMOVED (see photo). The ribbon Pat tied on the tree to mark the branch during the bid had blown off in the wind storm. Pat contacted me the night before and I mentioned this to him and he thanked me and said he'd make a note. I went a step further. I printed a picture of the tree with the branch to be removed circled and left it for the crew to avoid this. They chucked it on the ground and left it there (see photo). I wish I would have been home to supervise. To add insult to injury, a half-full water bottle was left in my yard on the ground and they didn't bother reattaching my downspout extender that they removed to get in the gate. It's the details that matter to me (especially after spending $2000 of my hard-earned money). I felt completely bamboozled and insulted. I guess my tip wasn't enough to "take care" of my yard. Later that day Pat returned to collect his check and proceeded to tell me how good of a job they did and to go on Google and rate the experience. It was like he was trying to convince himself. He reiterated that small companies rely so much on these reviews. He never once asked me my satisfaction (I think he knew they did a lousy job). I was fuming. If this company did the same quality of workmanship for Pat's home as they did at mine, I think he'd be disappointed too. I think you should serve your customers the way you'd want to be served. read more

This past Sunday was an unusually beautiful day for mid-February. But hey, it's St Louis. So, my husband and I ventured out into the back yard to start some pre-spring yard cleanup. We were trying to figure out where to start and looked at our trees. Oh boy. We have about a dozen trees on our 3/4 acre lot. Three big ones in front and the rest in the back. Lots of overgrown crazy limbs that looked a lot worse than I remember. One of the trees in the back had limbs overhanging the house and our pool. I remembered that someone had come through our neighborhood a couple weeks ago with flyers for tree trimming. So, I went to my kitchen to search the pile of "maybe I might need this someday" flyers. To my surprise, the one I was actually looking for was there. It said "Pat Gallagher Enterprises" and had a number to contact him directly. I sent him a text about 10:52 and I went back to work in the yard. Mr. Gallagher called about 2 hours later and said he could be at our house in about an hour. True to his word, he showed up about 1:30 in the afternoon. He introduced himself and we started walking around and evaluating the trees. Mr Gallagher showed us the lift his crews use to get to trim trees as opposed to climbing up with spikes that damage trees. He personally looked at all the trees and discussed what they would do. Then he presented a price for the work. After a little negotiating we arrived at a very fair price. He scheduled the crew to arrive the very next day. Bright and early on Monday the tree trimming crew arrived about 7:00. They got to work right away. I had to leave for work but my husband was able to come home to see the finished work and pay for the services. I got home around 4:30 to see for myself. Wow! I couldn't believe the difference! I can actually see the front of my house! And the tree in the back was trimmed back away from the house and doesn't over hang the pool. I was so impressed that all the debris was removed and cleaned up. The only hiccup was our gate. Apparently during the work our gate hinge was damaged. We were advised about it and assured it would be fixed right away. He wasn't kidding! They came back and fixed it this morning! Less than 24 hours later! You can't ask for better than that. So, overall I absolutely recommend Pat Gallagher for tree trimming. He was quick to respond, very professional, did a great job and addressed the gate in a flash. Here are some before and after picks. read more

I had been worried about my large tress for some time and Gallagher tree took care of trimming them for me today. They were professional and efficient and cleaned the yard afterwards. read more

I will start by saying that they arrived on time and removed the tree that was to be removed as requested and trimmed dead branches off of two others. That is about all the good I can say. When they arrived at 6:40 am they did not knock or ask to come into the yard(tree was in the back). They began work without any contact with us. They also left without acknowledging the work was complete. Web work from home and were not able to stand by and watch their every move, bad on us. In their wake they left quite the trail of evidence that they were in fact there. I filled two full wheelbarrows full of limbs...not little branches and twigs...limbs. A bird feeder was left tossed off of healthy branches on the ground. The plastic ribbons that had been placed by them on the trees were left on the ground. It took 30 minutes to pick up the stones from our fire pit that were all over the yard, supposedly from dragging branches through it. My tomato plants, not by tree, were partially flattened. Flowers that were by our gate that was only used to walk through, no equipment, were ripped out and the beware of dog sign that was on the gate was ripped off and just left. Had we known they were done and leaving we would have spoken with them but alas we did not. Even a simple "hey such and such happen" would not have left me as angry as I currently am (It was not a cheap home improvement project). read more

We've had this company remove three trees in our yard in the 18 years we've lived in our house. Every time it was the same. Fair price, quick scheduling, quick work and thorough cleanup. We just had them out to remove a tall dying cherry tree. They showed up at 7am and were done by 9:30am. Other than the stump (We did not have them grind it, though they do offer it.) you would have never known they were there. Saw dust blown into piles and carried off. Divots in the yard repaired. Not a scratch on our fence, which the tree was within 10 feet of, power lines or raised garden nearby. Highly recommend this company for tree removal. read more

Pat Gallagher Enterprise came out and removed 3 big trees, one entangled in the electrical wires, One by the house ready to fall, and another close to the house. They were very professional, and the price was fair. Ican't believe how fast they got it all done. The clean up was so good that I could of gone right out and mowed my lawn without fearing limbs, or debris being run over. Thank you for a job WELL DONE!!!!!!! I would HIGHLY recommend this company. You won't be sorry. read more
