Critical: Professionalism Apparently they will tow your car if it's in their way. The warning they provide is a piece of paper taped to a car window. But when that person moves that car there is no signage to keep another car from parking there. Then they tow your car and you pay. Real classy!

What a great crew! They came over on time and were at it before I knew it and did an amazing job. The best part is when they left you could've almost not told they were there. knowledgeable and professional about trees and how to make sure they survive and thrive.

Wow can I just say Atlas, team, and especially Nicholas are all AMAZING. Super responsive especially if you're having a tree emergency. They're quick and understand the urgency. They work with your budget and honestly they're how suppliers, vendors, or contactors should handle business. We used them last year and a few times just this year alone and don't regret the decision at all. Highly recommend.

I am very satisfied with Atlas Tree. They got me a proposal quickly. Honored a few requests I had. Showed up on time. Kept me posted along the way with calls and pictures. Finished one day early and came in under budget. What more can you ask for? Thank you Jennifer! Job well done.

Received a $12k quote from Jennifer to remove a large oak tree. She also promised to send us detailed information on how we go about getting a permit to remove the tree. Long story short, after we received the very high bid we never heard from her again. Sent multiple emails, had questions on the bid itself, etc. Complete silence. Disappointing and a complete waste of time. Call anyone else in town - there's a lot to choose from.
