Austin Beautiful Trees

Scott has been taking care of our trees for the last 12 years. Recently, he sent us an email, because he noticed while riding his bike in the neighborhood that a big ash tree in our front yard that he has been nursing along for years, didn’t look good. He came and gave us an assessment of the tree and went over all the trees in our yard where he found two hackberry trees at the back of the yard that were really sick and were dangerously close to falling. So dangerous that he didn’t feel it was safe for his crew to climb the tree. Scott recommended another company that had a lift so they could safely remove the tree. Scott said that he wouldn’t take any $$ for the assessment, cuz we were long time customers and he called us, not the other way around.
I would highly recommend Scott for any of your tree needs. He is honest and really cares about people and trees.

To me, tree trimming is an art form. You can tell when tree limbs have been cut and trimmed without regard to what will make the tree as beautiful as possible. These guys understand the art involved! They were reliable, efficient, and reasonably priced. They scheduled our service around our neighborhood’s bulk tree limb pickup to save us money and make it easy on us in that regard. I highly recommend them!

Scott came out to my house on short notice, because a neighbor’s tree limb broke and was leaning on my house. He quickly gave me a fair quote, and scheduled an appointment the next day.
When he came to my house he walked me through what he was going to do and gave me lots of advice on how to protect myself in the future. He was really knowledgeable and friendly. Then they did the work super fast, and he even trimmed back another tree for free! Wow! They cleaned up beautifully, and even blew out my gutters.
I would highly recommend using Scott George for all your tree needs. I definitely will be using him again.

Scott and his crew did a great job on my home in Northwest Hills. I was impressed with Scott’s knowledge and his desire to walk me through exactly what he would be pruning/​removing. He loves what he does and it shows! His crew was thorough, safe and left everything looking nice & clean. Highly recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Scott. The experience I had was 5+ stars due to his complete honesty and helpfulness. Scott came to my home to provide a bid for some minor tree trimming we are needing. After discussing with me and educating me on the current state of our trees, he advised I call another smaller service provider because he didn’t think his minimum fee (he has a crew of 4 who perform the work) would be justified in the amount of work they could perform.
So he gave me a lot of wonderful advice and then told me it wouldn’t be fair to me if he did the work due to his overhead costs and the relatively small amount of work I needed to be done. That still didn’t stop him from giving me specific advice on each tree I asked about, and some great general advice on how to foster my trees development. He also gave me a very valuable nugget of info about a tree I have literally next to the sidewalk/​street which is in VERY bad shape. He informed me that it is the City of Austin’s responsibility to manage/​remove that tree due to a 10 foot easement rule I had no idea existed. That alone would end up saving me literally hundreds ($ 500 – 800) in what I was expecting to be my problem to eventually remove that tree.
It’s rare to find someone so passionate about their career and caring about their customers, which in this case I really wasn’t a customer. I would recommend Scott and Austin Beautiful Trees to anyone in need of a consultant or service provider, which he does both. I feel like not only did I learn a lot about trees, but my faith in humanity was literally boosted due to his kindred spirit.

I love Scott (in a platonic way, of course). We’ve worked with him before on two big tree removals and I’m certain we’ll work with him again. And even when the job’s too big to handle, he gives solid references.
I don’t think I can praise him more than he is already been praised, but just trust me — he’s the genuine deal.

We bought our first house a few months ago (hooray!). Since there were a number of big trees on the property and one of them was a little worrisome, we called Austin Beautiful Trees to do an inspection before finalizing the deal. That turned out to be a fantastic decision.
Scott is a incredibly friendly and knowledgeable guy. He identified every tree, told us how each was doing in detail, gave a bunch of maintenance advice and even pointed out some crazy specific details (one of our trees has frost damage from a cold snap in the 80s, etc.). The info has been SO useful, and the consultation was cheap!
Basically, I’d highly recommend getting your trees inspected as part of the home-​buying process in general and talking to Scott in particular. We haven’t had them do any tree work for us yet, but after that experience, I’m sure we will.

I had a consultation with Scott and I’m extremely satisfied! He was very professional and knowledgable. You can tell he has a lot of passion and really loves trees. He took the time to educate me about my individual trees and answered all of my questions. I learned a lot and would definitely recommend him to any one!

We had a tree consultation with Scott and he is great. He is really knowledgable about trees and does a thorough job of educating us about the types of trees we have, what shape they are in, his recommendations and how to care for them. We didn’t use him for the actual work because a huge part of one of our trees needed to come down and he recommended someone else for the job that had the big equipment. I highly recommend Scott!

These guys are very reasonably priced, professional, fast, and extremely knowledgeable. We had a perfect experience with them when it came to trimming our 5 large pecan tress, including removing one huge dead branch. We called to ask about an estimate, and a week later, the work was done all in a day. They left our yard completely clean, and our trees look happy and healthy now.

Very, very pleased with AUSTIN BEAUTIFUL TREES. We bought undeveloped land to build a house in which there is an amazing although terribly neglected heritage live oak tree as focal point on the property. Scott advised and strongly advocated for the tree during house construction as builders and their subs might otherwise be hurtful. He then engaged in critical task of rehabilitating and beautifying the tree as well as our other trees. The results are fantastic. ABT was very responsive to questions, super enthusiastic, priced correctly and thoroughly professional. Look no further.

I have never been paid so much personal attention as it relates to the science and art of tree care. Scott is the most professional, personable, and knowledgable person you will ever meet. I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. He personally checked in on the job at three different points during the day to ensure quality work.
There is nobody else I will ever call upon for tree care.

Austin Beautiful Trees did a great job on my yard which has lots of big trees. They were friendly, prompt, and the trees look great. The job was more difficult than they thought because of the limited access to the back yard, but they stuck with the original estimate. I can highly recommend them.

Scott and crew just finished a quick touch up of our trees including removing one box elm, etc.
As per many others: Scott is incredibly knowledgeable about tree trimming and general tree health, so he wants to do what’s best for your trees. The upshot is that he’s not going to trim your trees just for the money like some other companies. I’m always impressed by any business who will talk you out of more work when it’s not necessary, and that’s how Scott works. It was a little tricky getting scheduled, but blame it on their great business model=success. He’s definitely friendly and upfront. Their prices were reasonable. I hope as they continue to pick up business they can stay that way!

I cannot recommend Austin Beautiful Trees highly enough. Scott is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. He gives the impression of truly loving his work, and he’s very generous with his knowledge.
We’ve used him two years in a row because we could only afford to do half the work at a time (we have a ton of trees), but he was flexible, accommodating, and willing to work with our budget. He came out to give me an estimate, and while he walked me through the process he gave me a ton of information about keeping our ten live oaks, and our one big post oak, healthy and safe. The first time we used him, his efficient crew finished under the estimated time and Scott charged us accordingly. The second time, he brought and spread some compost free of charge.
Arbor care ain’t cheap, but my trees are a priority for me. I have a lot of faith in Scott’s knowledge and work, plus he’s easy to get along with. I’m a big fan.

Scott George’s business balances good prices with good, responsible, and safe work. He freely shares his extensive expertise and does not seem eager to do extra work just to make a buck.
He also carries insurance, something that some of the cheaper outfits just don’t do (which can be a problem for you if one of their workers gets hurt).
He helped us out in a pinch last month when we had a looming deadline even though his schedule was full.

I couldn’t be happier with Scott & his crew. Scott was here exactly when he said he’d be, charged exactly what he said he’d charge (very reasonable by the way), and left the yard clean ! He did a beautiful job and I would hire him again in a minute !

They just did a quick and beautiful job of lightening our over heavy pecan trees. I had been advised to ask for the new growth to be pruned at the tips and that was already his plan, so I felt confident right away that he knows his tree care and isn’t just a «trimmer». 4 stars only because it took months to get on the schedule; however, he had warned us that he was VERY busy and was very accommodating once they did have time for us. Highly recommend Austin Beautiful Trees!

Scott’s been taking care of our oaks for a few years. He does exactly what he says and charges a reasonable rate. If you’ve ever had tree work done, you’ll know that prices can be all over the place and a lot of times the guy you decide to do the work with just contracts out the job after the sale. When you work with Scott, you work with someone who truly loves and knows trees, and he’s pesonally supervised his crew every time he’s come out to work for us. Highly recommended!

Scott is fantastic! We found him through our Allandale neighborhood list-​serv, and he was as good as advertised. He did a beautiful job trimming up and caring for our two giant oak trees, and his price was so reasonable. He and his crew worked quickly, cleaned up thoroughly, and even blew debris and leaves off of our roof for us.

A few months later, I saw that he was installing owl houses for people as part of a spring tree trimming special. We decided to buy an owl house and asked him if he would install it for us, even though we didn’t need the trees trimmed again. He came over right away, and refused to let us pay him for the work!
I can’t recommend Scott enough. He is a knowledgable person, extremely nice and responsive, and generous.
