7 years ago, this cute little sapling popped up in one of my flowerpots, so I planted it in my yard…read morebetween the house, and the fence. I figured it was native to Texas, and I wanted a bit of shade in the backyard. It grew like a weed, and in three years it was giving us shade. In six years, it was over the roof, giving us shade, dropping leaves and twigs regularly, and we had to duck under its branches to mow the yard! I thought it might be a weeping willow, and I kinda fell in love with it. Unfortunately, I was the only one weeping, as the white willow's roots made a move on my house's foundation, and plumbing! Sorry Will, but ya gotta go! I searched Yelp, found several tree services that were local, and sent a short list to the husband. He called the one I put last on the list--skipping my top choices. He made the call, and Big Gorilla's owner showed up to give us an estimate. BGTS was $1,000 lower than a spitball quote we got from our roofer. I hate making decisions like this, and thought about getting more estimates....but I'm a procrastinator at heart, and I was impressed with BGTS's competent attitude. I decided to just get it done. The team of four--I think--came out the next day, blocking my driveway, (I didn't love that, but there's not much room on our street,) putting up cones to block their trucks, and got to work. By lunch, the tree was gone, the stump was ground six inches below the ground, and the roots threatening my house were dug up and destroyed. They had even gathered up all the sticks around the tree, and removed the debris as well. They left a small mound of woodchips to cover the hole left behind. My husband watched them on our home cameras, and he said they had pulled out monstrous roots, snaking through the yard. It's kind of sad to see the tree gone. It's even sadder to see the money gone to remove it. Not gonna lie, I thought about buying a chainsaw and sending hubs, and son-in-law out for a much cheaper DIY. But arms and fingers don't grow back, and even if they could take it down, the stump would remain without buying the heavy equipment. BGTS did exactly what I needed. They were on time, professional, efficient, didn't damage my plumbing, or the sprinkler system, cleaned up after themselves, and took a credit card payment at the door. They will now be first on my list I'm shopping for fruit trees now!

We hired this company because we believed we were hiring licensed professionals and relying on…read moretheir expertise regarding our trees and insurance requirements. Unfortunately, our experience has left us extremely disappointed and concerned. We had a large trimming job done at our home and later had to have the company return after a branch from our Maple tree fell without severe weather or high winds. Since then, I have had multiple independent arborists evaluate the work, including one who performs both commercial and residential work for major organizations such as the Dallas Zoo and the Arboretum. Their findings raised serious concerns. Some of the issues identified included: * Maple tree: We repeatedly asked whether the tree was healthy or needed removal and were told it was healthy. Later we discovered significant rot and were informed by independent arborists that insect activity had likely been present for quite some time, including before the work was performed. We also had prior photos showing a crack that already existed. * Backyard Oak and Front Oaks: Independent evaluations indicated the trees appeared to be in significant stress after trimming, with concerns raised regarding the extent of pruning and the use of climbing spikes. * Pecan tree: We specifically asked about cabling and later learned from other arborists that the existing cable should have been addressed differently. * Crape Myrtle: Multiple arborists indicated that the pruning was not performed in a way that promoted healthy growth and that it may now contribute to weak limb development. * Tree sealant: We found numerous areas where sealant application appeared inconsistent and even found discarded cans left in the yard. Beyond the tree concerns, we specifically asked before hiring whether a licensed arborist would be involved in the process because we were relying on expert guidance. We later learned from another arborist that an alternative option could have been providing documentation to our insurance company rather than performing extensive trimming that may negatively affect long-term tree health. We paid a substantial amount for what we believed was expert tree care. Instead, we are now paying for additional evaluations and treatments and are concerned about the long-term health of our trees. The experience was made even worse by interactions we felt were dismissive and unprofessional. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I believe people should know our experience so they can ask detailed questions and seek multiple opinions before proceeding with major tree work with this company.

These were beautiful, mature magnolias that are around 20 years old. I asked for trimming. Instead, they lifted the canopy about 5-6 feet off the ground and completely butchered the natural shape of the trees. Anyone with real knowledge of tree care should know that magnolias are not meant to be pruned this way. Decades of growth were ruined in literally 5 minutes. I was honestly heartbroken when I saw the result -- I literally cried. These trees were one of the most beautiful parts of my property, and now they look unnatural and stripped. This kind of damage cannot simply be undone. To be fair, the tree removal itself was handled adequately, but the trimming work on the magnolias showed a serious lack of knowledge, judgment, and care. I deeply regret trusting them with trees that took decades to grow.
