I got bids from five tree services to trim two trees and these guys were the highest by far. 2.5x higher than the second highest bid. They do a lot of advertising so I guess that's where a lot of it goes. Also there's extra cost of having a person just for giving estimates. Downsides could be details not conveyed to the crew or having to explain it again. On the plus side, they were available fairly quickly. Or is that a bad thing? I guess if you have an emergency and need tree work done right away and money is not a priority, give them a call. But if you have time, always get multiple quotes and check their insurance and licenses, don't just trust their word. read more

Great experience from beginning to end. Quality was a major selling point and Rent A Monkey delivered big time. I recommend Rent A Monkey and grateful for the excellent service. Ps- they even called me and asked permission before running my payment card!! They made sure I was happy with the work before running payment card. Exceptional service!! read more

Great customer service! Very responsive to customer needs and very courteous. Understands customer's needs!

Had them come over today to take down a fairly large branch (maybe 10 inches in diameter) that was hanging directly over the roof of my house. I could see the branch coming down, torpedoing the roof, making a crease in the roof, and allowing water to seep in when it rains. I'm away from the home often. They are 100% punctual and 100% competent. Would hire again. Would recommend to others. read more

I called late last night because my tree fell on my carport. They came first light and my tree was gone. I am so grateful. I was prepared to charge it on my card, but Greg said since the tree was blocking the entrance to my carport that filing a claim would be beneficial. They truly look out for their customers. They gave up a bit of their time from dirt biking to help. Highly recommend. read more

We chose Rent A Monkey Tree Service because of the positive reviews on this site. The professionalism of the Company is next level, beginning with with Nick who answered our call requesting a bid and he had us at "hello." We scheduled a date and his crew showed up on time regardless of the rain and snow showers coming down. Joshua's crew worked flawlessly and seamlessly as they cut down our 32 year-old Bradford Pear tree. After I dried my tears, I knew it was best because this particular tree is invasive to our ecological environment. We kept a 3 feet stump from the tree so my husband will hollow it out and I will plant flowers in it! Ten Stars for Rent A Monkey Tree Service!!! read more

I used them once before for a small job. They did well, so I called them first for a bigger job. I hired them to trim a large branch that had broken off onto our roof about 30 feet up. It was in a dangerous position so they came right away and got it done with their boom. In the process they noticed a few other branches and took care of them for nothing extra. I was impressed by how well they knew trees. Great to work with. Very professional. Also, they work directly with the insurance company, which is a major relief. read more

I reached out to Rent-A-Monkey after reading the asinine 1 star review of Carla H being offended by a name. Gregg came to my house and looked over what I was wanting done. He came with his crew a few days later and got the job done. I was impressed with the professionalism and equipment. Pricing I feel was very reasonable. They removed two large maple trees, a hornbeam and trimmed up my spruce trees. The yard was cleaned up afterward and looked as if they were never there. I highly recommend RENT-A-MONKEY. Thank you Gregg and crew. Carla H too read more

We hired rent a monkey to trim and remove some trees and remove some stumps for us. We'd called around to get a few quotes and they were in line with others, but a little less if we had them do all the work. They were very responsive and easy to schedule. They showed up on time and did great work. In the process of removing an additional stump that they weren't even charging us to remove, they accidentally hit a sprinkler line. They immediately informed us what had happened and went to get materials to fix it, which they did. I was very impressed with their professionalism and service. We highly recommend. read more

Many of our neighbors have recently had tree services on their properties. several of the foremen pointed out that two tall birch trees next to our house were leaning and should be cut. M wife called Rent a Monkey for an estimate. Gregg Nelson came to our house and inspected the trees. He told us that they were stable and safe. My wife and I were thrilled to find a gentleman who is honest. How refreshing to find a man who holds honor above greed. Thank you Gregg read more

While they take pride in being Veteran owned and operated, this is a business and everything is about money and costs. I was initially quoted from Rent-A-Monkey almost $3k; 4 small aspens - ($750), 1 blue spruce - ($750), Thin 1 deadwood maple($1300) Remove 1 dead shrub ($150). My husband and I are retired and could not afford $3k. After stewing over the costs for a couple months, we opted to do it ourselves. Four exhausting days and 1 injury later we managed to cut everything down, except one limb caught on the power line. So, we called Rent-A-Monkey (again), thinking they would see our efforts/injury and help us a little. We were quoted $650.00 to cut one limb (literally brought me to tears)! Needless to say with the help of a caring neighbor, we got the limb cut and tree down. I understand this is a business but, sometimes seeing the whole picture and having compassion can go a lot farther. read more

We had around 10 or so trees growing along the property line we share with a neighbour and needed them gone to build a fence. The crew arrived by 8am and were done with everything, cutting, removing, stump grinding and cleaning up by 3:30pm. I was super impressed with the speed and the clean up they did. A branch struck the fence on the other side of the yard during removal and they informed us about it right away and came back a few days later to repair it. Can't fault them at all. They were even cool with creating two invoices to split between us and our neighbour. read more

The Rent A Monkey team were amazing. Gregg and his team are very professional, kind, and courteous. They did an amazing job cutting down our big old pine tree in rapid speed time, did a great job cleaning up, and we would hire them to come back in a heartbeat. Thanks you guys! read more

They were very efficient and cooperative and worked great as a team. Had proper equipment for the job. It made for an efficient and quick project which was taking down a tree that was dead inside. I love trees and this is one that could not be saved. These guys were excellent and would and have referred them. Left a clean area. Thank you gentlemen read more

I hired rent a monkey to cut down a couple of tree, remove some sort of vine & rose bushes. I was told they would call me the day before they came out bc I had to be home so they could go over everything and make sure i would be satisfied with the work done. The call never came and they just showed up and I did not even know anything until I came home and saw my tree was gone. I thought everything looked good, ok no big deal about not receiving a call, but 6 months later the rose bushes started to come back. I did nothing to these rose bushes to make them come back not even watering them and I think my son drove over them a few times. LOL ;) These rose bushes were big bushes and must have been there for years for them to continue to keep coming back. I called and asked if they could come look at the rose bushes and when the owner came, he seemed a little upset and put out, or just having a bad day. He removed them again, but the rose bushes came back again and I called them to ask about them about being removed again and they told me they would call me back and I waited for two / three weeks and no return phone call. I would not be that customer but they charged me $500 to have these things removed and to have them continue to come back is very frustrating!! I even recommended rent a monkey to my neighbors but now I do not know if I would be so fast at giving them a recommendation. When you pay for job, the customer should be satisfied with the service or the company own up to doing the job correctly. I finally had to attempt to remove them myself and will see if I got the job done right!! Rent a monkey not so fast as using them or recommending.. read more

These guys were fast, professional and thorough. I had a couple of trees that needed to be trimmed and they were more than up to the task.

Rent A Monkey Tree Service was in the neighborhood servicing another customer with their trees. I was impressed by their friendliness, safety, and clean up was the best. You would never have guessed they had removed a large tree in between two houses, since some of the tree branches had an over hang onto the neighbors driveway both yards needed tree cleanup. Kyle and Jimmy were so courteous, and friendly they offered to haul away branches and tree trunks from my back yard that another tree Service company had left behind. The entire group of guys worked so well as a team and were very impressive. Rent A Monkey Tree Service is the most professional company I have worked with and I have had a couple of previous tree service who have done work for me. If you need tree work done don't hesitate to call them you will not be disappointed. read more

I've seen there truck around, and was pretty shocked by the unprofessional name - like the company is run by a 17 year old or something. Try literally any of the many other more professional tree services listed here first. read more

Had to finally remove an 80' spruce that was starting to pose a threat to our home. I called them on Friday, during a windstorm when they were exceptionally busy. The arborist showed up within hours and gave me a great price! The crew showed up the next Monday and had the tree down, stump ground, everything cleaned up and gone in about 45 minutes. I hope I don't need to call them for the same thing again, but if I do, I won't even consider calling someone else!! read more

During the recent destructive windstorm in Salt Lake City, an enormous Ash tree in our back yard uprooted and fell on our roof. I turned to Home Advisor and Gregg Nelson at Rent-a-Monkey responded quickly and viewed the catastrophe the next day. Because of the position of the tree on the house he felt that removal by crane would be safest and within a few days he and an agent of a company with large equipment met with me and put me on that company's schedule. Within two weeks the tree-except for the very large upended root ball-was removed from the roof to the front curb and then hauled away. Although his company was not finally responsible for the removal, Gregg has been extremely helpful in seeing the project through, and made every effort to keep the removal and restoration as economical as he could. He worked with the crane company, keeping me posted on what it was doing to haul the 10 foot high pile of large logs from the front yard. After the final removal was accormplished, he then arranged for a stump grinder to pulverize the stump, root ball and 5 x 10 ft. piece of turf attached to it, all perpendicular to the ground. He sent one of his workers, Tyrel, to saw off the 4 feet of trunk the crane company had left, so that the stump could be ground, a herculean task for only one worker. Gregg answered my many phone calls without fail in a timely manner. At this time, when tree services are incredibly busy, I am very impressed with Rent-a-Monkey. Based on my experience with Gregg and Tyrel, I consider this company to be an extraordinary business and recommend them highly. read more

My daughter just moved into her first home. So as a house warming gift I had rent a monkey come out and trim the trees to spruce up the yard for my kiddo. THINGS DID NOT GO WELL!!! Greg the owner is the most arrogant contractor I have ever worked with. The way he treated my daughter and I is completely unacceptable. He has a way of talking down to you that makes you fill unbelievable belittled. The way he was treating his helper was horrible. The poor guy was so flustered he couldn't even think straight. Then after making my daughter and I fill completely stupid he throws a curve ball and starts flirting with my married daughter. At that point she felt super uncomfortable and went back in the house. The work they did was so bad I had to call Diamond tree experts out to fix the work that I paid over $800 for. Diamond gave me a discount and was able to salvage what rent a monkey did to my daughters yard. SAVE YOURSELF THE THE TROUBLE AND JUST CALL DIAMOND TREE EXPERTS. read more
