Fair, Firm, & Does The Job Right

I have engaged Evan Peter over the past 3-5 years to remove and trim several live oak trees at my residence. Evan reviews your request – tree by tree – to insure he fully understands your objective.  From that point, you simply get out of the way.  He is equipped with all the safety gear – and quite a site to see him maneuver about the tree – carefully removing limbs – to insure a strategic drop – without damage to the lawn/shrubs/flowers below.  He obtained his tree trim/removal skills via training/employment with a professional/ tree service some years ago.  He is fair, firm, and does the job right.

A Great Price – Will Recommend to Friends

Evan and one of his crew came over this morning to remove a tree that someone else had cut down a year ago but wanted too much money to haul off. Needless to say Evan quoted me a great price to haul off the remains of my chopped up oak tree. I’ll be hiring him to do any future work on my trees and recommending him to friends and family.

Highly Recommended

Evan came to our house to remove a 40ft Cypress tree. It stood less than 20ft from our home and our neighbors home. He made short work of it and was very respectful of our property as well as neighbors. He quoted us a very good price and when he finished the job he cleaned everything up, you couldn’t even tell he had been there, minus that big tree! We will definitely use Evan in the future and will highly recommend him to all our family and friends!

A Quality Business Ethic

I was referred to Happy Tree Service by a friend. I waited 6 month before having the work performed. Evan was on time, performed the work in a professional manner; & completed extra work at my request. The price was fair. Evan is smart with a quality business ethic. I highly recommend him & his company.

Evan saved the day. I had a tree serving as a highway for small animals to get on my roof, and though Evan had a full schedule he made sure to stop by and take care of the tree trimming ASAP. The tree looked great after trimming, and looking around the yard I couldn’t tell anyone had been there – there were no trimmings left behind and all was clean. Evan was prompt, friendly, and ridiculously helpful. Happy Tree Service exemplified professionalism and I highly recommend them!

Extremely Knowledgeable

Evan with Happy Tree is an extremely knowledgeable and thorough arborist. Our entire experience was handled professionally. Evan was on time and took care of our needs, the trees and foliage are perfect.

I’m Definitely HAPPY

This is the first time I have used Happy Tree and I’m definitely HAPPY. Process from start to finish smooth and easy. I have used several services and this was the best and I would highly recommend owner Evan and his crew.

GREAT JOB!

I had a large Arizona Ash over the fence and neighbors house, I didn’t feel comfortable cutting it down. I googled “tree trim services” and called 3 different companies for bids to take branch down. I also did some home work to see who was going to be honest and who was out to make a quick buck, as I spoke with the COA arborist and he said “no permit needed, and if you did there is no cost for Arizona Ash”. I let all 3 companies know I have 3 companies placing bids. Sid tree service came out first, $650.00 then I asked each company specifically…”is there a fee for a permit to take this branch down”? Sid tree service said “that’s an additional $150.00 ” the second company wanted $400.00 I went to HAPPY TREE SERVICE web site and felt good about what Evan does. I called and spoke with him on the phone, made an appointment and he had to cancel, made appointment another day and he called at 4:02 pm on a Friday and said “On my way! ” at 5:15 pm he pulled in the driveway. I ask “man were you in south Austin” yes was the reply. Evan drive over an hour in rush hour traffic, I knew Happy Tree Service was going to do the job before he set foot on my property, I felt very comfortable speaking with Evan. So we look at the tree and he gave me a quote and then I asked him the same as the other 2 companies. “Does the COA charge a fee for a permit to take this branch down”. No, was the reply, Evan said he has been doing this for 20 years and only ever needed a permit twice. I told him another company wanted $150.00 for permit and $650.00 to cut and drop the branch. That company was trying to rip me off and probably anybody else who uses their service. I told Evan “I wanted you to cut and drop this branch before you ever set foot on my property , so I was at work when they came to cut n drop it, as I want to chip small branches and cut larger for fire wood. But I had turned the security cameras towards to tree so I could watch when because I was 25 miles away. Evans team did what I asked, cut n drop, cut n drop, cut n drop and they left. I called Evan and was ready to pay. Evan said “go home take a look at it and called me later” who in this day and age let’s you pay for something later? IF I EVER NEED TREE TRIM SERVICE AGAIN…..it’ll be a HAPPY TREE SERVICE day for me. You Reading this review, if you go with another company, well you won’t get the care for the tree that HAPPY TREE SERVICE does and you won’t get the expertise of Evan. GREAT JOB!!

A Tree Wizard!

Evan is a tree wizard. He has my large live oak looking better than any in town! He has trimmed my fruit trees as well. Took down a 50 ft palm tree for an unbelievable price. I have referred Evan to numerous friends and they were all completely satisfied with the work and firm pricing. No surprises at the end! You will be happy that you called Evan Peter if you need a tree service.

Good Prices, Professional & Friendly

I had a tree fall on my house hours before a major storm was to hit our area. I called Evan Peters and he was able to come and clear the tree before the storm. Although the storm was on the way, he was very careful of bushs, flowers and sprinkler heads in the flower bed below. He got the tree off the house and didn’t cause any other damage to house or yard in the process. Another company had told me that they couldn’t get to me until the following day – the wind with the storm would have torn up the roof if the tree had still been there. I have Evan Peters scheduled to cut down 3 more trees in my yard that are dying or dead. His prices are good, he is professional, and friendly. I will also use him in the future and recommend him to everyone.

Honest & Hardworking

My exposure to Happy Tree Service of Austin was during an emergency situation as a 30″ diameter cedar elm landed on our roof during a recent storm. From a Google search I discovered Happy. Evan was at our house within an hour to provide the fairest of the two estimates I received. Since I was afraid the roof of my house would collapse, I needed someone who could work quickly and Evan was nice enough to adjust his schedule to accommodate our emergency. To watch Evan and his crew meticulously remove the tree without further damaging our roof, was quite remarkable.

In these times, it is often easy to be skeptical about hiring someone without knowing much about them. So, it is refreshing to work with someone as honest and hardworking as Happy Tree Service. Evan is a young in years but he is old-school in many ways by looking you in the eye and promising exactly what he delivers. He is one of hardest working guys I have seen in quite a while. I would use Happy Tree Service again in a heartbeat and I Highly Recommend their services. The company name says it all!

Professionalism – Without Breaking the Bank

Evan and his guys were recommended to me when I moved into an older home with tons of trees that needed lots of attention! He gave me 3 reasonable quotes for all the work I needed done. He was professional, on time and stayed until it was dark to complete the job.

He hauled away the debris, blew away any extras off the porch and driveway leaving the house clean.
I will be contacting them in the spring for a second round of work! I highly encourage anyone to call for a free estimate. You will be impressed at the professionalism without breaking the bank like some other large arborist companies who don’t even do the work themselves.

Extraordinarily Impressed – A Fantastic Job

I was extraordinarily impressed with Evan Peter. I had an enormous cedar tree fall during the storm last week, I found Evan online and he came out right away for an estimate. Price was reasonable and Evan was personable. He came out this weekend to take down the tree and did a fantastic job. Branches are gone, he was careful around my house and my neighbors, cleaned up afterward, and he left some firewood and some parts of the trunk I can use as stools to sit around my fire pit. I would absolutely recommend Evan to anyone who needs some tree work done.

Friendly & Informative

After one of our big thunderstorms this summer, I called Happy Tree Service to remove a very large fallen branch from our back yard, and was very pleased with their helpfulness and attitude on the phone. They came out a few days later, as scheduled, removed the branch, and sealed up the break. After they were done I asked about another small tree we’d been wanting to remove. They gave me a good estimate right on the spot and stayed extra time to do the work. The price was reasonable and they were very friendly and informative. Definitely recommended.

Got Here The Same Day

We were just a few days from listing our house for sale when a big tree branch broke in our back yard. I have gotten to know lots of great tree services over the years here in Austin but this is the only one that got out the SAME DAY when I told them my situation. They had other jobs that day and the next day, but Evan and his crew found a way to get over to our house and get the job done. Awesome customer service!
