Boutte Tree

Each person I worked with were very professional and friendly. They are knowledgeable and take the time to explain their thoughts on how to treat your yard. I am using them after a failed experience with big trees from another landscaper. So far they make the process super easy.
Booking & confirmation online is seamless, follow up emails and phone calls to ensure you are satisfied and online payment reduces the hassles of maintaining a beautiful yard. I recommend them to anyone who wants showcase landscaping.

I was most impressed with the crew from Boutte Tree! At arrival they determined their best and safest plan for the removal of a large dead tree that was near the home. I was happy to see their attention to safety and the care to minimize any damage to the lawn, fencing and flowers near path was appreciated! The cleanup at the end was truly professional! Removing of all debris, replacing the fence pieces that were safely moved out of way and replanted flowers that were relocated during the cutting was perfect. They even blew the roof and back deck off, gathered the twigs and removed from property! In the end you could not even tell they had been here except for the missing dead tree!!! Most impressive service!!! Highly recommend this service and crew.

Dealt with these folks in 2014.
Good stuff: The job started off well but didn’t end well. Once we chose this company, we had trouble getting scheduled. However, these folks did a very good cutting two of our trees and pruning back one from the house. They had a strong knowledge of tree health and proper approach. The arborist was also able to point out a dying tree issue, which was major. The company contracted with a group of stump grinders, and these guys were great.
Difficult Stuff: However, I had significant issues with the pickup of the tree logs, which were substantial given the size of the very large pine tree. The log pickup handoff did not go well at all, and took multiple days beyond when they promised. When the man finally came to pick up the logs, he did so hastily, and a log ended up slamming into the neighbor’s yard. He also left deep scratch marks in the concrete in front of our yard with the claw-​like tool. By this time, I had been calling the office and interfacing with them much more than I would have liked, trying to find out when the log pick-​up would happen. I was just so glad to have the logs gone after complaints from the neighbors and slow drive-​bys from the town’s code enforcement police. Too, I had trouble with billing — I had to call and then email to get info on how to remit payment.
This company is on the costlier side, so, I didn’t expect to have these concerns. When it came time to do work at another property, I decided not to call them again. However, they will leave your tree situation healthy.
So:
Pros — Great knowledge of trees and great job with cutting.
Cons — Scheduling was slow, pickup of logs was slow and not well done, and billing was not smooth.

Boutte Tree took down a 38 inch sweetgum tree that was dropping limbs on our house. They had to use a crane to take the tree down. They were very careful positioning the crane to not damage our driveway and did minimal rutting in our yard (the crane weighs 13 tons). The guys taking down our tree where professional, quick, answered all my questions, super careful, and did a great job cleaning up all debris afterwards.
If you need a tree taken down or trimmed up call Boutte Tree, they will do you right.

It was Saturday afternoon, and I was chatting on the phone after a relaxing brunch. I heard a terrible crash – one of the very large trees in my backyard had fallen towards my house and was hovering over my roof. It was caught in the branches of a large pine in my front yard, but it was only a matter of time before the that giant tree would fall on my house.
I tried several emergency numbers and Boutte was the only service that picked up. An estimator was out to my house within 2 hours and they had a crew out a few hours after that. They had the tree safely down by 8PM that night. The price was fair given the work and the quick turn around.
They did some impressive work – they needed a large crane to ensure that the tree, when they cut it down, didn’t fall on my house. I appreciated that they could do such a big job on such short notice – I wouldn’t have felt comfortable sleeping in my house with that tree hovering over my bedroom.

Boutee did a great job taking out a massive (34″ diameter) oak behind my house. Tree was leaning out over the house They brought in a 40 ton crane and removed it within a matter of hours. Estimate was competitive and entire process was seamless. They did a great job communicating and scheduling. Absolutely will recommend and use again.

I priced about 6 other top rated companies using Kudzu’s ratings. Their price was on par with the other top rated tree companies if not a little better. I was very happy with the tree pruning and removal. I feel the quality of the work was great and the guys that came out were very friendly and hard working. They cleaned up the driveway and work areas well.

I’m a property manager so it’s really important to me to find someone that will provide good pricing and will do the work when they say they will. Boutte Tree has exceeded my expectations each time.
I’ve had about 4 or 5 trees removed by them — some emergencies, but most were just dead trees that we were removing to prevent any further damage. Boutte is communicable and fair on pricing. I worked with Tyler B. each time, and he was always available to walk the property with me to show me any trees that we may need to remove soon.
The best part is, if you want your wood chips from the tree removal — just ask! They usually haul them away, but can leave them there if you want to use them in your yard.

I have used Boutte tree 2 of the past 3 years. They do an excellent job not only trimming my trees, but cleaning up. They let you know when they will be there. They show up on time and they are very friendly and courteous. Their prices are competitive. I have smaller Japanese Maples and huge oaks that are 100+ feet tall. I highly recommend them.

I tried for about a month to find a tree service in Atlanta to call me back – websites, emails, phone calls, etc. – but no one seemed interested in the pruning job I had. Luckily I was referred by a neighbor to Boutte. Mark returned my call the same day and came out within a few days to inspect the job and give his recommendations.
Mark’s quote was a little higher (not too much) than others I received, but he also took a lot of time to put a detailed written plan together for each of the six or so very out of control trees we needed trimmed. In the end his experience and the confidence he inspired made us decide it was worth it to pay slightly more for this professional approach. While others simply wanted to use the scorched earth approach and be done with it, Mark had other ideas. The crew was out there in less than two weeks, whereas I was told a month or more by other companies. The job involved some power lines and Boutte handled everything with GA Power, shaped our crape myrtle and trimmed the dogwoods beautifully, and ended up making our property much more attractive than just clipping them as others proposed.
Top notch customer service. Boutte was extremely prompt in answering all emails and phone calls. Everyone I dealt with was trustworthy, polite, and made this a breeze. This will be our go-​to company for this service from now on. Thanks guys!

Excellent service from the entire crew!

We recently used Boutte Tree to help us with two sickly trees in our yard. They came out right away to asses the trees and diagnose the problem. They are very communicative, organized and professional. They developed a plan to try to save the trees and communicated that to us quickly. They have since treated the trees several times. They leave no room for error as to what trees they will service. All of our communications have been very specific as to exactly which trees are being serviced and how. We always receive emails with diagrams so that there is no room for error or questions. All of our communications with them have been thorough and professional. I would never use another tree service. These guys are the best! They very much seem to care about their customers and the trees they are tasked with taking care of.

I hired Boutte to prune a tree that was leaning considerably over a cottage on a rental property. I sent them a photograph of the tree in question, leaving absolutely no room for error. I gave them very specific instructions about the tree location, the way to access it, gave them the phone number of the neighbor to gain access to her driveway for the removal (the only possible way to reach the tree). They ignored all of my instructions and failed to give the photograph to the estimator and for $ 750.00, they worked on the wrong tree. I signed a contract that I believed was written based on all of the detailed information that I’d given them, including the photograph of the tree in question. Unaware to me, the document that I signed was not based on any of that information. If the contract had begun with, «Ignoring all of the details and information that you provided us, we are asking you to sign the following contract…» I would have never signed it. When I protested, they threatened a lien on the property until the bill was paid. If I didn’t live on the west coast, I would have filed a lawsuit against them. Instead, I paid 50% of the invoice and sought another company to do the work that I’d contracted them to do. I thought that their bid, being the highest of the four that I’d received, meant a greater level of professionalism. I was grossly mistaken.

I know everyone seems to love this service, but I called last spring and they stood me up for my estimate appointment not once but twice! Now, I need some limbing done and some clean up and I most pointedly will not be calling Boutte! Unfortunate…

We hired Boutte Tree in late 2012 to fertilize/​prune a weeping cheery tree and prune/​remove mistletoe from 3 large water oaks in our front yard. We could not be happier with the service that we received; we were kept informed exactly what was happening when through a clearly worded contract and phone calls reminding us when the crew would be here. Donys and his crew were fantastic, handling all of the pruning and cleanup, and showing us up close the damage that mistletoe can cause a tree. I would not hesitate to call them again for any tree-​related needs (and will when the trees need pruning again)

Excellent tree service! They call back, they show up and their pricing is more than fair. Very professional in person and on the phone. Highly recommend.

We can’t say enough good things about this company. Tierson was fantastic about squeezing us into his busy schedule in order to meet our crazy schedule. They gave us a fantastic quote, showed up on time to do the work, did excellent work, and didn’t expect payment until they were finished with the job.
Customer service is fantastic — the kind of customer service that everyone should have but that you rarely see anymore.
We will definitely use them again!
Many thanks to Boutte Tree!

Boutte Tree is a fantastic tree removal company specializing in in-​town locations. If you live in the city of Atlanta and have ever had to have a tree removed, you know the pain in the @$$ the city arborist can be to receive a tree removal permit.
We recently had a tree growing into our deck and Boutee Tree did a fantastic job start to finish helping us remove it. They came over and gave a VERY reasonable price quote for a full tree removal, and the handle the ENTIRE permitting process. Their price was HALF of what I was expecting to pay!
Customer service was excellent, and the tree removal was great. They took down a large weeping willow and cleaned up everything from sticks to leaves. If you need a tree removed, especially in the city of Atlanta, Boutte Tree should be your first choice.
