Venable’s Tree Service

I can not say enough good things about this company. They were prompt, courteous and did excellent work and their prices are fair. It is difficult to find a company that actually does what they promise. You can use them in absolute good faith.

Wish I would have read these reviews before! Probably the worst customer service and organization I have ever seen. Came to my house Thursday saying they could cut my tree immediately. After numerous phone calls over three days, never showed up and when I finally reached Tim he hung up on me! Would never recommend this company and if I could give 0 stars I would. Horrible. buyer beware

These guys were working in our neighborhood and walked around asking the neighbors if they needed services. We took them up on the offer because we hadn’t called our normal tree service. Granted, they were really fast, but their work left a lot to be desired. They walked up the queen palms very roughly with the spikes and 7 months later, the queen palms still have wholes in them all the way up. The group we had before never left marks like that. We asked them to shave the mexican fan palms like they have been before and they did about 3 feet of them, but left the foot or two below it not shaved. This leaves a ring around the tree, like they didn’t know what they were doing. Two huge branches on our silver dollars came down about 2 months after they were there and one of the big things we asked was for them to get into the trees and check to see if the branches were healthy – and take out the ones that weren’t. Another huge (250 pound, 12 foot long branch) came down from a 40 foot tree that we were worried about about 3 months ago. Again, we specifically asked and they said all the ones left looked great. These things could kill someone falling, and we try to take care of them so they are in good shape. We will be going back to our old trimmers.
And, price-​wise, they were comparable. They gave us a quote, we told them that the place we usually use was about $ 400 cheaper and they gave us the same deal. But after our experiences, in this case, you get what you pay for.

We were very impressed with how quickly the men cleaned the trees, picked everything up, and hauled it away. They were polite, fast, and efficient. I would definitely hire them next year to do our palm trees again.
