Knock-Em-Out Tree Service

Knock-Em-Out Tree Service takes on tree removals and trimming jobs around homes in El Cajon. Kris and Mark run the crew that handles calls for taking down tall trees next to buildings as well as cutting up trees that have already fallen in yards. The company works from an address on Alveda Ave and focuses on these tasks with a small team that shows up to handle estimates and the actual cuts.

Customers have described jobs where Kris and the crew removed a eucalyptus over fifty feet tall right against a house without issues. Mark has come out to trim huge trees after an initial bid and has handled fallen trees in yards with attention to keeping sheds and decks safe from harm. Reviewers note that the crew worked fast on same-day removals after price talks and made sure no large branches hit structures during the cuts. They also mention thorough site cleaning once the work finished and protection of soft areas like sheds during trimming.

The crew responds quickly to estimate requests and can complete removals the same day after negotiating the details. Communication includes follow-up visits for additional trimming and efforts to keep vehicles and equipment from causing extra damage on the property. Service covers local homes in the area with crews that put in hard work on the cuts and haul away most debris though one case involved a subcontractor who left wood behind after two loads.

Reviews show a pattern of praise for careful handling of property and complete cleanup after jobs along with some complaints about property damage from loose trees and unanswered calls when issues arose with wood removal. Four of the six reviews rate the work at five stars while two rate it at one star and the Google rating stands at 3.7.

“We've used Kris and his crew at Knock-em-Out since 2017. They've handled several tree removals for us, including a 50+ foot eucalyptus right against the house — the job went perfectly. They're always quick to respond, efficient, and careful not to damage anything with their vehicles or equipment. They clean up thoroughly afterward, and they're all-around nice people. Highly recommend!”

“Kris came out right away when I called for an estimate to remove a large tree close to my house. We negotiated and his guys did the job the same day. They were top notch. Fast and took special care in making sure no large branches landed on the house. They did an outstanding clean up and I would not hesitate to call again. Thanks for a job well done!”

“Kris and his crew did a great job. He followed up after his bid and came by today to trim a huge tree . The guys were great. They protected a soft shed and cleaned up the area. . I highly recommend them.”

“This is the 2nd time I have used them, first one went well, this time they let loose a tree lime, hit the house putting a hole in it and the redwood deck was damaged as well. Also they called a subcontractor to come and pick up the wood from the removal in stead of mulching it, he came and took two truck loads, left and said he would be back for the rest of it. NEVER happened and my calls to Chris and Mark from Knock Em Out trees Service went unanswered. I am now out the cost of disposing of these large tree chunks. Bad business.”

“Mark is very professional and I can’t say anything better about how I was treated. His guys work very hard and they cut down a tree that fell in my yard. They worked with due regard to make sure my property didn’t get damaged. Thank you mark and knock ‘em out tree service, I will be using you guys every time something like this happens.”

“Absolutely rude & unprofessional!”
