“Clay and his team were AWESOME! Super impressed with both the work on our neighbor's trees and ours. We had several trees that needed limbed as well as some overgrown/dead bushes on the side that needed cut down and stumps ground out. He is the triple threat: Great Prices, Great Work, and Quick!”

“Clay and his crew went above and beyond with my tree removal. I had roughly a 40 oak tree fall through my fence and into my yard. I thought for sure it would be a 2-day job, but they were done before 2:00. Not only that, but they wheeled my trash cans back up my driveway for me, just because. An honest, affordable, hardworking team.”

“I have used Collum Tree Experts for over 6 years and 2 houses. They do a fantastic job, are quick to respond and are price competitivly. They were just here today!!”

“We just had Clay and his team remove three 20+ foot trees from our backyard around the pool. Extremely impressed with this service from top to bottom. Clay is super responsive, transparent and great with communication throughout the process. Also very reasonable on cost which was great. Clay and his team were very professional, took extreme care not to damage our new pool or patio cover. Thorough cleanup and even went above and beyond to rake & bag some existing leaves from the beds. I definitely recommend Collum Tree Experts and will use them again!”

“Clay was very easy to work with and explained how our trees would be trimmed. The next day his friendly professional crew arrived and did an awesome job trimming our three large red oaks. They also removed a smaller tree from our front yard. The whole process was easy and hassle free. We will be recommending him and his crew to our friends and family. Plus use them again the next time our trees need a good trim.”

“I’ve used Collum Tree Experts for 3 years and they have been easy and efficient to work with. My trees look great and healthy and they also do great clean up. They have even taken out shrubs at my request that were not needed. Call Clay and he can come out a give you a quote and his pricing is fair.”

“Clay is amazingly professional and friendly. He and his team were punctual, efficient and thorough. He turned my yard from an overgrown wasteland into a work of art. Great communication and photos from Clay throughout the day. We will definitely be using this company throughout the coming years.”

“I reached out to Collum Tree experts on a holiday and Clay was super responsive, very helpful and knowledgeable. They came out just a couple days later and they did a great job trimming our large front yard tree. We didn’t pay until after the job was done and I didn’t even have to be home. I would use them again in the future.”

“Thank you Collum Tree Experts! Last year Clay and his crew removed a large and overgrown Bradford Pear tree and a large holly bush from our front yard. They were prompt, quick, reasonably priced, and very easy to work with. They were also able to grind the stump the same day and haul away all the old tree branches. Clay was very informative on the tree removal and stump grinding process and was very professional. Fast forward almost 1 year to today, and Clay came back to plant a new tree in our yard. Our yard looks great! I highly recommend Clay, and it's great to help a local business! Thank you!”

“Clay and his team were on time. They were extremely careful and efficient in removing a live oak tree that was dying and that could have damaged my neighbor’s property if it fell. They trimmed the remaining live oaks very well, and left the yard in excellent shape. And for a fair price. Not cheap, but definitely better than most quotes and the best job I could have hoped for. Thanks Clay.”

“Collum Tree Experts is a company that hands down ranks one of the Best! We used them for trimming and pruning our tree. To say it looks amazing is an understatement. The best thing is communication.

They were there as planned and text before and after photos when the work was completed. We give this company ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
