Halsey’s Tree Service

I hate business’s that don’t give you ALL their policy’s up front. I scheduled 2wks in advance due to my neighbors business. I made it VERY clear that we have a time limit. Steve, the owner and his daughter Cody were very much aware of my situation. Cody called me 3days before my appt (a reminder call) went over what trees need to be done first and using my neighbors road. Tree guys will be out at 7:30 and make that the first priority.
No Show. Called and now I’m told by Cody that they will be out between 7:30 and 1:00. Thats their policy. REALY! This is first I’m hearing it. Cody told me to call another tree service. And that’s what I did. Halsey is ALL about BIG $$$ work.

Fantastic service! They came in, did everything I wanted (trimmed two trees back hugely and removed three others) extremely quickly. The only thing I’d have to ding them on is return service — they are very difficult to get ahold of, I had to leave several messages before anyone got back to me. However, that’s likely because they’re busy (in peak months, an appointment may be months out) but otherwise I was VERY impressed by both their set up and the services when they were supplied. :-D
Edited 3÷9÷15: I’m afraid, after my latest dealings with them, that I need to knock off another star. I mentioned in my previous review that they are difficult to reach; they don’t get back to voicemails promptly (if at all), and even when you schedule a time don’t feel the need to be punctual. I still say the service supplied is very good when you get down to it, but they need to work on their customer service.

Called Halsey originally in July 2013 on a personal referral. Estimate was 945.00 and a 3 month wait list. Plus, they could not identify a specific date that they would be here?
I just called Halsey again last week. Estimate is now 1045.00. 1^st girl called @ 9:48am and said she could make an appt. on May 1^st. This is a more than a 2 month wait, but I need to get my trees trimmed. 2^nd girl ‘Cody’ calls me back @ 10:08AM and says the soonest appt they have is June 27^th. I asked ‘Cody’ approx how many hours it would take, so I could schedule to be home. She said they don’t have that information and even if she had that information they don’t give out. Plus, said I was difficult to deal with?
Maybe something has changed since that last reviewer used Halsey or since my friend used them.
For 1045.00 I expect a little consistency and courtesy from the office staff.
Don’t waste your time with Halsey like I did.
I am going back to Jeff Shipman’s Tree Service. Easy to deal with, consistent and no drama.

After getting bids from 4 different tree service companies, we decided to go with Halsey’s Tree Service in Visalia. We are so pleased and completely satisfied with their service! We had 10 full grown redwoods ‘thinned-​out’, a large olive tree removed, and a very large and overgrown camphor tree cut back. Our front and backyards are transformed! The crew of 8 men arrived in the morning at exactly the time they promised. They finished up by the afternoon and left our place clean! They picked up every bit of branch, etc. They also skimmed our pool! Also, we had a bad bulb in a large lamppost in our front yard — somehow they noticed it and offered to change the bulb for us. I was very pleased! Friendly, professional, hard-​working, the best prices, wonderful results! I highly recommend Halsey’s Tree Service!
