Very professional from the 1st phone call. Estimate was better than the 2 others we had. Good communication. They did a great job on a difficult project. We had several trees cut down and removed and also had a large overgrown area cleaned up. They had the right equipment to remove the trees with limited access. I highly recommend Hancock.

I highly recommend this company! These guys are efficient and do amazing work! We had quite a few trees taken out and what a difference! They even cleaned up after themselves because you will get a lot of debris from the trees. My husband and I are very satisfied with their work. We will
definitely have them back for a future project! Thank you!

We needed some limbs taken from a giant tulip polar tree in our front yard and some brush mulched and stumps ground in our back yard. Hancock was the first tree service to respond to my inquiry. (some took over two weeks just to return a call) They gave us a very competitive estimate. It took a while for the services to be performed because its just really busy at this time. The wait however was not so bad, and the end result was better than we had envisioned. They will go the extra mile for you. I highly recommend their services. John Shockley will treat you right.

Received great service from Hancock Tree! I had already scheduled a tree removal when a storm hit and a neighbors tree fell into our yard. They moved our appointment up two weeks and cleaned everything up the next day. Prices were reasonable and all the employees were friendly and professional.

I had Hancock Tree Service remove a tree right next to my house that was partially dead and dropping limbs on my roof. This was in a very tight area and had to be dropped in an exact spot. They brought in the right equipment and enough people to do the job right. The guy on the chainsaw was amazing to watch! It was down and cleaned up within an hour. I highly recommend them!
