Gunnison Tree Services

My neighbors hired this company and they flippantly trespassed on my property and damaged my yard. The day before the work was scheduled, I happened to hear one of their employees talking on the phone in my driveway. I went out to talk to him and he said they were going to put their crane in my driveway. I told them I wasn’t ok with that. When the crew came the next day they asked if they could put an out rigging on a piece of my yard. I said yes. Instead they put their entire crane in my yard! My yard isn’t nice and I didn’t want to be difficult, so ultimately I decided, no harm, no foul. I left to run an errand and when I came back they had their entire crane in my driveway (with no guarantee that the weight wouldn’t crack it). I told them I didn’t agree to this and they shrugged their shoulders. Then they demolished a flower bed as they drove out. The project manager asked if I wanted a gift card to my favorite restaurant. It felt insulting.

While working down the road they left a chipper at our small business, taking up 3 parking spaces. I found the company’s name on a maintenance sticker, and called. I was given the number for a field manager and left a message for that person. I then drove down the road and ask the crew to move the chipper. I asked one of the crew members if it was normal practice to leave a chipper on private property. He laughed and said, “it is cheaper this way”. Even after explaining that we needed the parking spaces that we have for our business, there was absolutely no hurry on the part of the company to move the chipper. Seeing the other reviews makes all of this makes sense, as a common practice of theirs. What is worse, the large truck they used to drop off and pick up the chipper tore branches out of our live oak tree.

Came through our neighborhood in south carolina, trimming trees off the power lines. Trashed my yard. No warning. Just piled everything up in my yard and broke my tiki torches spilling fluid all over my yard and butchered our oak tree.

Thank you for making a bad situation worse. power company sent you to clear a very large tree limb so I can have power restored (day 6 without power). You cleared the line but also destroyed my preciously un damaged shed and didn't even bother to say anything to me. So now I STILL have to find a way to get the tree out of the way and now I need to replace a shed that cost more to assemble than it did to buy. None of this is covered by my insurance because of my deductible. I have been sobbing uncontrollably for over an hour. This is the last thing I needed to deal with.

These guys are rude. They're arrogant. They have four of us blocked in our driveways right now. At our house. They don't care they won't move. I just called the police on them. There's not a customer service number for them. It is Sunday, March 17 9 o'clock in the morning and I have the police on way because they are refused to move their trucks..... When you guys coming into people's neighborhood, you guys should not disturb them be respectful.... Not arrogant, not rude

This review is about the job that never was. Four weeks ago (on 10/21/25), Gunnison Tree Services advised that our 10% deposit (from 8/7/25) to prune our live oak tree was refunded to our credit card. They did so via e-mail with no explanation given. Two weeks later (on 11/5/25) since we hadn’t heard from the arborist/contact person directly, we sent him (Will) an e-mail of inquiry asking for an explanation as to why Gunnison cancelled this contract. We dealt with Gunnison for five months and during this entire time, communication was seriously lagging and lacking during the pre-prune tree process. So much, in fact, that a 6/30/25 e-mail comment to our local arborist was shared with Gunnison (Will). It read, “Sorry to make such a blunt comment, but communication is just as important a part of the process as the job itself. So far, Gunnison has failed in this regard.” To conclude the four-week timeline of this cancelled contract, this review is being submitted on 11/21/25 because it has been two additional weeks with no explanation from Will which is why (1) this one-star review and (2) we would not recommend Gunnison.

Extremely satisfied with the service provided by Gunnison Tree, from the office staff coordinating the three different crews sent out to remove our three huge dead oak trees, to the finally clean up. We have had other tree companies before and never have I had a more professional, courteous and accommodating work crew. Hats off to GTS for having such great employees!

They seemed like such a polished, professional company at first. Will, our arborist (salesman?) came out and really validated and seemed to understand our needs. I've never been so wrong about a company. First, there was little communication from them when rain was forecasted. This forced us to call THEM to reschedule twice. (How come their scheduling coordinators aren't more proactive? They even seemed put off when we called to ask they please reschedule given the weather...?) Secondly, when they finally did come out, Will was not on site as he'd promised. During this initial site visit, they were only able to finish part of the job due to rain. (This was in July.) We understood and agreed to reschedule so they could finish up once everything was more dry. When Gunnison arrived for a second time, Will was again not present. Our new "arborist" immediately told us they would need to reschedule yet again because the ground was too wet for them to finish the job. We agreed with him, in part. "Can you all at least fell the trees? No need to chip everything and drag the chipper through the yard. We were just hoping the 4 trees could at least come down today." I guess they weren't listening, didn't understand, or didn't care? Because they responded by telling us we didn't know what was best FOR OUR OWN PROPERTY and that rescheduling for a fourth time was our only option. I had to argue for them to just fell the trees, no chipping at all. (Since they said coming back to chip at a later date was just "way to costly for their operation.") Not only was this pivot seemingly impossible for them, they were so condescending throughout the entire disagreement I actually started to cry. I hope others do not have the kind of experience we had, though it looks like a trend is starting up based on these reviews. We told them we wanted to keep all of the material. They were condescending and said it was too much for us to handle. We told them to cut the logs into manageable sizes of 2 - 3'. They left huge pieces, 1 over 18' long. (I've included a picture of me cutting up these pieces since they didn't.) We told them to be careful. They didn't mind their work so an 8' piece got stuck upright in our yard (pictured). We asked them to PLEASE be careful. They left trash in our yard: water bottles, candy wrappers, food wrappers, etc. Maybe it's the new leadership? Regardless, some real change is needed at Gunnison. I've never felt so exhausted after a site visit.

This company showed up at my house at 730 am last Thursday to move trees off a neighbor's property, they have access rights on an easement on my property. However, they do not send their crew with a key, so he drives his tractor off the easement and through my yard and landscaping. Did not knock and ask permission. Then, Taylor dumps a load of trees on my yard in front of the easement gate. Tells me they will pick up the trees that day and fix the damage. No word for five days and no one returned my call. Buyer beware. Update: trees were removed 7 days later. No word on if they are going to fix my yard from the damage their trespassing caused.

These guys are the best!! Responsive, well organized, so very skillful, and respectful of my property. They cut and removed a huge oak that had fallen on my house; I highly recommend them for this delicate work.
