Hidden Oak Tree Care — Attraction in Salt Lake City

I lucked out in finding these guys to trim and remove my trees. I was going to hire a crew to manually remove my trees (climbing up with chain saws) but had to call the city to turn off the power because the trees were growing in between the power line. The guy from the city came to look, and said, "You know, tree trimmers ought to be able to remove your trees without having to turn the power off." I asked him for a recommend, and he emailed me a list of about 50 companies. I picked 4 at random and called and left messages requesting a bid. Hidden Oak was the first to call me back. They are first rate, with the latest equipment, a digitized estimate system with pictures, and everyone seems very competent. I was afraid that with their fancy equipment and boom lift, they would be expensive but they were cheap. When they took the trees down, I found out why-- park the lift in the street, send the rigger up over my house in a bucket, rigger cuts the trees, which the boom carries back over my house, drops the tree in the street, waiting guys with chain saws carve up the tree, bulldozer sweeps it up and deposits in the waiting bin. Boom. Done. And probably took about 1/3 the time other companies would take. And after they were done with cleanup (very little to clean) the street was immaculate.

Pro tip: Dont schedule them on the day your garbage gets picked up as the garbage truck may tangle with their equipment trucks.

Pro tip 2: They take credit cards so pay them with your credit card for mileage and...

My parents have an ash tree in their backyard that they absolutely love. They've had it as long as I've been alive so it's significantly big. Before they came to me about needing some help with their tree situation they had multiple companies come out and tell them that the only thing they would do was completely remove the tree and either grind the stump or leave it there depending on if they wanted to save a significant amount of money. We called the guys at hidden oak tree care and told them that we really just one of the cut the tree back significantly and see if it would have a chance to recover and grow again. The guys at hidden oak tree care came out, understood what our needs were, and said that they were willing to at least try. I am happy to report this Spring that the tree is starting to Bud and it might take a couple years for it to be back into its full glory light before, but these guys are awesome. They aren't out to just do whatever is the quickest and make the most money as quickly as they can. They actually care about what your goals are with your yard and how you would like to accomplish those. I can't necessarily promise that everyone's experience as far as the tree recovering will be the same but Michael and his team were at least willing to try with us. I am so thankful for these guys and everything that they've done for my family!

Make sure you call them for all your needs! You will...

Our project was a big one. I mean BIG. Four full days of work. We had 5 massive trees that needed to come down. Four of them were in the backyard, and next to our fence. Michael and his crew did a fantastic job of cutting down the trees, removing the debris, grinding the stumps and removing the big roots that were rising out of the ground. Because of the location of the backyard trees, some of the branches had to be allowed to fall into our neighbors’ yards. The crew talked to our neighbors first and got permission to work in their yards. They made sure to clean up very well. We had one tree that was behind our shed that was bigger than we realized. We talked to Michael about removing it while the big equipment was still there. He said they could take out that tree at no charge if they could leave the mulch from grinding the stumps. We said that was fine as our backyard was mostly dirt and we figured the mulch would help keep the dust down. They did spread it out over the yard so it wasn’t left in big piles for us to deal with. We also feel we got a reasonable price for the difficulty of the job and the amount of work that was done. The crew showed up on time and they worked all day and at the end, they made sure to clean up well. We’d recommend Hidden Oak Tree...
