What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from real customers
"Call Direct Tree Service if you want your tree job done right! I had a quarter of an acre of dead pine trees all throughout my land. Direct Tree Service came in, took them down, hauled everything away, and cleaned up perfectly. I highly recommend them—they done the best job I've ever seen."
"Preston and his crew are profoundly professional, courteous, and downright friendly and easy to work with. I have had a few nightmare past experiences with several tree services in Gainesville that have overcharged and taken weeks to clear the debris. Direct Tree Service provided dependable service at reasonable prices with excellent efficiency and cleanup."
"Preston did an amazing job removing 9 large trees from our yard. We had a lot of requests including pulling some large branches that had gotten stuck in our Oak tree from Hurricane Helene and he remembered to do it all. He gave us a very fair price and the work was excellent."
"Preston and his team were so helpful. They went above and beyond to help make our yard safe for this coming storm season. He is incredibly knowledgeable and talked us through every step. I can't recommend them enough!"
"We were badly affected by Hurricane Helene. This is my first time dealing with this type of damage from a hurricane, so I wanted to make sure that everything was done properly. I literally interviewed close to 15 different tree services. Direct Tree Service stood out and did an exceptional job."
"A whole team came and took down two giant pine trees on my property and did an amazing job. One of them is 3 feet from my house on my deck so they made a nice flat cut so I can use it as a table. The cleanup and placement met all my expectations. Highly professional and efficient!"
