Arborist was so knowledgeable and really gave great information on both proper trimming and future health of our birch. Friendly workers arrived on time and were very professional. Service: Tree trimming & pruning

During a late and unusually wet and heavy winter snowstorm in mid March, my older and very mature flowering crabapple was brought down, almost in its entirety, by the weight of the storm, damaging other shrubbery as it fell. I solicited estimates and decided on Atlas as company of choice. The crew, comprised of Matt, Stephen and Gage, was very good, very pleasant in going about the work to be done.

All huge and fallen portions of the tree, plus broken limbs and debris, were cleaned up on a timely and efficient basis. The small remaining portion of the once-exquisite crabapple was trimmed and remains to live on. I would recommend Atlas Tree Service. Thanks! Marilyn "Rusty" Miller

Critical: Professionalism They removed a tree from my neighbor's yard and in the process tore down my cable service. When confronted they basically laughed, like no big deal. Then they lied about having made arrangements for it's repair. So I'm 3 days without service and they could give a s-t! Incompetent and deceitful, a terrible combination!

These guys did an amazing job removing some pesky poplars from my front and back yard. They were very quick with their response time and getting some one out to do a quote. They got us scheduled quickly after our initial inspection and the whole process of tree removal was a breeze. The whole team is very professional and you can tell they love what they do. I'm sure I'll have to have em back in a couple years and I'm glad to have found them.

I was very impressed with the quick responses, prompt scheduling, and customer service! This company seems to pride itself on how they interact with their clientele. I had spoken with 2 people over the phone, Steve and Kayla, and they both listened and assessed my problems as if they were their own. I would recommend atlas tree service to anybody in need!

A massive dead tree was leaning towards our cabin - just a matter of time till it it would come crashing through our roof. When the Atlas professional tree wizards were done, not only was the tree gone, but we literally could not see any footprints from the workers, nor tell how they got in and out and removed that massive dead tree without leaving a trace. We were happily amazed at the excellent work and low/no impact on the surrounding area. We will recommend Atlas to anyone.

Like many Salt Lake residents, we were severely impacted by the hurricane winds that blew through the area. We had a particularly difficult situation with a stump/root ball that our original provider couldn't handle. Atlas looked at the situation and was skeptical they could do it, but they kept seeking alternatives and came up with a workable solution. Separately, we had determined that a large monkey tail tree was too close to our house.

Because we were impressed with their tenacious creativity solving our original problem, we had them remove the tree. Not only did they perform the job on time, they were careful to clean up debris they'd scattered about. I'd use them again and recommend their services without hesitation.

Was very impressed with the expertise and professionalism of Atlas Tree Service. We had two 50 year + old growth trees near high voltage power lines and a detached garage that required special care and expertise to remove. Atlas Tree pulled off the job perfectly, and their pricing was fair and reasonable. Their clean-up and attention to detail was appreciated. I would highly recommend!

After getting a few bids we ended up choosing Atlas Tree Service to help our sick maples and to get them trimmed. The arborist that came was very knowledgeable and kind. I can't say the same for the other highly rated companies I got bids from. The men that came to do the trimming were great and left our yard cleaner than when they got there. They were also very helpful and gave us tips on how to keep our trees as healthy as possible.

I'm so impressed with how clean and careful the crew was! Not a single squished plant (and I have A Lot under the tree that was trimmed) or broken branch and 99.99% of the debris cleaned (some slight twigs that honestly could have been there before they started ) and not even a single leaf left in the neighbors yard Stump grinding- they called ahead and had the buried lines marked for safety - I've never had any other company do this - big thumbs up! Stump grinding is messy but they made every attempt to keep it contained as best they could which was a challenge given the thick ground cover I have growing- over all pleased with that job as well. Pros Clean, professional, courteous, prompt, did exactly what I asked for at the agreed quoted price, I highly recommend and will use again Cons- uh, ya I got nothin here

Outstanding! We had three trees partially blown over in the recent storm. The trees were each threatening to fall further into our house, and our neighbor's garage. Atlas Tree Service responded immediately and prioritized services to remove the trees before they caused further damage to the structures. I have seen Atlas remove trees before, and I knew that their work would be good, but I was blown away by the expertise, professionalism, and efficiency of the entire Atlas team. They removed the trees safely and shocked me with how clean they left my yard. Thank you Atlas Tree Service for taking such good care of our situation.

We hired Atlas for the removal of seven trees (including several that were done by crane) as well as pruning of seven others. We were very impressed by the company throughout the entire process. Mitch came out to give us our bid and was very thorough and listened well to exactly what we were wanting done as well as providing some advice and insight of what should be done for the health of our trees.

When the crew came out to do the job, they arrived right on time and we're very professional. We were very impressed with the care they took in removing the trees which were up against our garage and fence line. We were worried about things getting damaged in the process but they were very careful and things went perfectly. We had a large silver maple in our yard that was overgrown and they did such a beautiful job pruning it.

It looks so much healthier but still provides amazing shade for our yard. Also, after the job was complete, the crew stuck around and cleaned up our yard incredibly well. When they were done, it was like they were never even there. We very much appreciated the care they took in cleaning up the mess after such a large job. Overall we were very impressed with the quality of work, professionalism and attention to detail we received from Atlas. We will definitely be hiring them again for any tree needs we have.

Atlas tree service took advantage of my elderly father. He wanted his pine tree thinned out, and some lower level branches removed. The guy came out and gave him an estimate of 480.00 to thin it out, and remove the lower level branches. They literally cut 15 branches back from house, and left the lower level branches. When i called the following day, the lady said she would have the supervisor call me.

No call from him. He was always unavailable when i called. Now i have to call somebody more reputable to come out, and do the job correctly. IF YOU HAVE ELDERLY PARENTS DO NOT HAVE ATLAS TREE SERVICE COME OUT. THEY WILL RIP THEM OFF! You can see from pictures lower level branches still there, and the branches trimmed halfway back from the house. 480.00 for 15 branches. Figures to be 32.00 a branch plus tax.

We had a visit to receive a quote for work, was quoted $380. The written quote stated that the price was guaranteed for 30 days. Two weeks later, I received an email stating that the quote we had just been given, was actually 6 months old and they needed to increase the price by $20.00. I replied to the email pointing out that the quote was not 6 months old but two weeks old as it had been handed to us only two weeks earlier.

The return email again stated that the quote was an old quote and the new price was $20.00 more. The email was condescending and completely ignored the evidence and my concern. One of their employees may have made a mistake, but it is very poor business practice to expect the consumer to pay for their mistakes. I had 30 days to accept the original quote and they reneged after only 2 weeks.

I am looking elsewhere for service. FOLLOW-UP: On May 3 a worker from the company showed up to "cut down our tree". Before knocking on the door, he walked around in the yard and appeared to be taking pictures. When he knocked on the door he said he was here to remove the tree. I told him the tree had already been removed by another company (which it had been).

He left. That same day, we received an email bill requesting payment of $380 for services rendered! My wife called the company but they were not helpful in resolving the issue. I have filed a BBB complaint as they charged for services that were never authorized nor completed!

Couldn't ask for better service! I initially called Atlas because they take care of all the trees at the Utah Arboretum (aka the University of Utah). They came to my house and provided an estimate to deadwood and treat a sick pine, as well as prune a huge box elder without any of the nonsense about wanting an estimate fee that some other companies insist on.

They were able to schedule the service at a time that worked for me, and most importantly, they did a great job! The trimmers were skilled and friendly. My pine has a fighting chance now. Atlas even honored a 15% discount for wintertime services for fertilization and pest treatments that will continue into the spring. Thanks, Atlas!

We used these people several times and each time they promised longer wood and always delivered small pcs and still charged us for the long pieces. I tried calling several times to get this fixed. no response after leaving about 6-8 messages. When I finally did get through they told me they will No longer work with us. All because we expect to get what we pay for! I wouldn't trust them!

Absolutely outstanding experience. Just moved to Draper, UT and my new house had a really large Russian Olive hanging over my second floor roof and scraping the gutters in the wind. Called Atlas and Mike came out well within the promised window and gave us multiple options with pro/cons on the tree, how to deal with it, if we removed it what he would recommend to replace the shade on the house. absolutely great!

We chose to remove. Took about a week or so between conversation with Mike and the removal. Removal team came out, once again well within the promised window, and removed the tree in under three hours and that included shoveling up all the stray small branches and blowing the driveway clean. Absolutely fantastic experience all away around from sales, to removal, to back office. Could not be more pleased or recommend them more highly. Wish they did home renovations.

Mike is very good. if you can only deal with him, you'll be fine. But the crew that came was the worst form of service ever. The "foreman" argued every point of the job. At the end, I asked him to complete a section that I felt was included. He said no. I asked him to call Mike for clarification. He flatly turned and walked away. Would not even talk with me. I followed him to ask if he would talk to me.he turned the chipper on loud and ignored me. Never again.

Horrible company- there were a bunch of errors in getting my tree trimmed. First they didn't show up as scheduled and then showed up twice with "the wrong truck". When I talked to the different people at the office, they would blame the other group and that group would blame the other. After finally doing the work, they called me 4 months later to tell me that I need to hurry and pay them by year-end. So now I have to do the legwork to prove that I paid 4 months ago.

Terrible followup. I had gotten a fairly reasonable quote from them, and wanted to schedule the work. The estimator informed me that I would receive a call for scheduling (no call was received by me). I called their office nearly two weeks later, asked to schedule a time, was told I would receive a call from their scheduler (again, no call back from them).

I called again the next day, was told I would be called back after some questions were asked within their office (Did not receive a return call). Called back a final time and was hung up on by them (accidentally, but not unsurprisingly there was no return call back from them). The run-around trend was frustrating, and made me regret taking a half day from work to meet up with their estimator. I actively wanted to give them money, but they seemed uninterested.

From the first contact we had with Atlas Trees, we were impressed. Initially, I brought them in to look at an old Maple tree that was obviously very sick. Other companies had recommended expensive treatments and we were looking for another opinion. Mike took a very scientific approach and observed the tree for a couple of months this spring before making any sort of determination.

It became clear though, that the tree was not going to make it. Thank goodness we didn't spend a bunch of money trying to save a dead tree! The crew that removed it for us were professional and efficient. Somehow they managed to spare ALL of my flowers and other plants through the removal process. They cleaned up after themselves and left our yard better than when they arrived.

I bought a cord of wood for my first time out with my fireplace. Atlas showed up punctually and neatly stacked a full cord of wood (4x4x8) like they said they would. They came even in bad weather. Peter even made a special trip to give me a large round on which to chop my kindling. On top of all that, even though I bought the cheapest type of wood, they mixed in some hardwood so I could try it out (it's wonderful). I am very much enjoying a very roasty-toasty winter thanks to Atlas. Thanks so much!

I ended up hauling 5 loads of material to the dump. They fell a tree on my corral panels bending two of them. They drove over an irrigation box, breaking it and a valve that I had to replace. They did not show up on time any of the three days of a "one day job". They didn't have enough equipment to haul off the material and left the material on the ground to be removed "sometime" after Labor Day weekend.

The crews left their empty soda cans and water bottles for me to clean up. All of their chain saws broke down as did their stump grinder. I assure you, they will never receive a penny from myself or those that I know again.

Be careful if using Atlas for firewood! I have had them deliver firewood several times over the past 18 months. The first time I was just moving in and didn't have my wood racks, so I couldn't measure it properly. However, they delivered a lot of chunks and pieces of wood vs. the logs I was expecting. The next two times they delivered, they shorted me 30% the first time and 40% the second time.

Strike three, you're out. Make sure you measure the amount of wood they bring. They always came back and delivered more wood when I complained, but what a hassle this was. Too bad, I liked them for my tree service, but if you can't trust someone, oh well.

After I bought my house, I called Atlas Trees to help prune two large Spruce Trees that hadn't been properly cared for by the previous owner and the branches were growing on to the house causing problems with the shingles. Atlas did an amazing job pruning and thinning the growth to maintain privacy and to help the health of the tree and my house.

My older neighbor, a landscaper with years of experience asked me who had done the job because of how good the trees look now. Not only did they work on the spruces but they also pruned a chestnut and 2 hazelnut trees in the back to keep them healthy and to help give my deck more shade in the summer. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional, skilled and knowledgeable about what your trees need depending on the type of tree.

Atlas was superb in taking down a mostly dead wseeping birch, cutting the trunk and large branches into firewood lengths, and on the spot dealing with an adjacent evergreen with a branch which was seriously broken, and had not been previously obvious. The price was reasonable, and the crew of 4 accomplished everything in two hours, including careful cleanup.

They would be five-star but the scheduling was a bit loosy-goosy, with the original date cancelled, and rescheduled, without the office notifying me. Luckily I canned when no one arrived on the original date, and was able to adjust the timing for the rescheduled day. Having said all that, they arrived about 1/2 hour early on the scheduled day. I definitely would use them again! I would be very sure, however, that the office scheduler was told to call me if she decided to change the appointment.

I felt compelled to write a review for Atlas Tree because of my recent experience. Last November I called Atlas to give me a bid on my Grandmothers Cottonwood Heights property. It was too technical for me to do it myself. She has one large pine tree and several cottonwood trees that boarder her neighbors property. Many dead branches that needed to be cleared out.

A rep from Atlas came out, on time (wish the cable companies were as punctual) to give us the rundown. He was straightforward and honest on his bid and very knowledgeable. Instead of removing one set of branches I thought were dead, they recommended treatment instead. The crew came out a week later and did a clean, efficient job. A few month have past and the trees are doing great even with all the snow pack! I'd highly recommend this business for anyone needed tree work, care or removal. Thanks Atlas!
