HISTORY
Established in 2018.
Climbing trees has been a passion of ours since my brother and I were small boys; evident when our father built a tree fort in an old carob tree in our backyard. Once that fort was built, all of our spare time was spent climbing from limb to limb with neighborhood friends. Countless hours were spent climbing the tree and defending our fort from “intruders”. Twenty years later, we still enjoy playing in the trees. Veteran Family Tree Service is our way to help family and friends keep their trees thriving and looking great. We’d like the opportunity to extend our services to helping your trees look their best.

I contact them to get a quote for trimming and I turned it into a removal. I had two Sissoo tree and one Cottonwood removed. I got tired of cleaning the Sisoo tree leaves out the pool. They gave me multiple quotes for the different option I asked about. I notified them on Thursday and they were out taking care of business on Monday. It was great to see that all of this didn't make it to the land fill. The trunks of the Sissoo trees went to a local person that makes furniture. They finish the project in two day and cleaned up the area pretty well.
I would highly recommend using Veterans Family Tree Service. The price was fair and offer a discount for Veterans. When I need some other trees trimmed, I know who I will be calling.
Amazing crew! Almost 3 hour job done. So efficiently and professionally! Highly recommend! Will call u again! U need to cal then!
Excellent service. I have 2 very large Palo Verde trees, which needed cutting. The team arrived on time, did a GREAT job, cleaned the yard. I will certainly call them again in July to cut the rest of the trees!

Veteran Tree Service Responded immediately to arrange for an estimate. They discussed all the options and recommendations for my three trees. I accepted their quote and the work was done within a week. When they arrived (on time) they double checked my wishes and consulted me after they finished each tree. The clean up afterwards was excellent. Very professional, excellent service, I will have them back as needed.
We found this company last year, and had our Elm tree trimmed and shaped for the first time. Steven the arborist did a fantastic job, and we got a lot of
great information on caring for our tree. Today after a year our Elm needed
thinned, and shaped. Looking beautiful! :) Trees are a big investment so give
them a call for quality work at very reasonable cost. Office (602-892-0832 or
Andy Othon the owner at (602)750-2771. Have a great summer!

I had a severely overgrown Eucalyptus tree threatening my structures. I got several estimates, most of which were outside my budget, some of which were outrageous. I kept searching, using Yelp and the BBB to check my selections. VFTS looked very good. Their estimator listened closely to my needs and made a very reasonable bid considering the scope of the work.
The VFTS team showed up as scheduled. Three very pleasant gentleman at first, joined later by Andy, the owner. Their work was careful, considerate and totally professional, not to mention impressive! I will be calling them again for all my future needs. If you're looking for a top-notch job by top-notch guys at an affordable price, look no further than VFTS.
BTW, my location is Phoenix AZ, not San Francisco, which sometimes shows up despite my efforts to correct it.
I highly recommend Veteran Family Tree Service! Great communication, great customer service, extremely courteous, respectful and all around professional!!
Don't hesitate, give them a call! Thank you Veteran Family Tree Service for taking such good care of my parents!

Called.. it was a week later that they came out... my trees are dying... When they came through they stated what they thought but never sent out an estimate... very disappointed. Especially if they state, VETERAN family ( I've never had a Veteran Buisness do something like this but now we know)...Moving on & I'm going on my third week of trees dying.
I needed to have a tree and several shrubs removed. The crew was courteous and they worked quickly and efficiently. they left the area cleaner than when they arrived. I would recommend this company without hesitation.

Citrus trees needed serious maintenance. Everyone was courteous, knowledgeable and informative from start to finish. Appreciate their service. Will definitely use them as needed.

Andy and crew made fast work out of our overgrown tree. Friendly, professional and their work was excellent. I highly recommend them for any all types of tree work you need completed.
Part of my contract was to have the whole yard blown clean they came back the second day to clean the yard up because they did not do a good job the first time well the second time I could've blown the yard like if you were blowing on hot soup. I don't know how they got five star reviews if they did work like in my yard it would be impossible.
Price quote was exact, they showed up on time and did a wonderful job! They answered all our questions and kept us informed. My trees look healthy and ready for spring. I'm very satisfied with this company. A

Every time I call we get prompt, courteous service, and an schedule convenient for us. If you need tree service, do yourself a favor and call Veteran

They were the only company willing to come out and look at the locations of the tree(s) and gave me an honest answer to see if the work could be done. Although we couldn't work together on this project, they showed up on time, professional, and courteous! I recommend them to anyone if you want an honest answer or opinion! Thanks for your time!
Very pleased with the work Gabriel did!!
I needed 3 of my acacia willow trees trimmed up really good and 1 removed.
Work was scheduled and done much quicker than I expected and my trees and yard look great!!
Affordable helped too! I would recommend this company to anyone who needs their trees done.
We are so happy we found this company! They are efficient, professional, thoughtful and do a great job at clean up. We have used them two years in a row and will continue to call Veteran Family Tree Service to trim our giant palms! They kept the dates out of our pool and we really appreciate that! The crew works well together and make this a pleasant experience. You can't find a better tree trimming company!

We had them out today. Calle first that they were coming within a hour. Did a great job and cleaned up. Highly recommend them. Dale
Highly highly recommend this group of guys. From Gabriel coming out to give us the quote to Andy, Lazarus and the crew removing the tree, this company was top notch (pun intended). The tree removed was a very large Palo Verde and they handled it with ease. They removed it and cleaned up the mess in no time. Very efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and I would definitely use them again.
Oh my goodness, I am so happy I reached out to Veteran Family Tree service. I had planned on getting multiple quotes but as soon as Gabriel came out I knew they were the men for the job. I had two huge, nasty trees in my backyard that I swear were put there by Satan's Landscaper (*not a real company) because all they produced were spikey thorns and messy pollen. I was ashamed of how nasty the backyard was, but these guys don't judge - they just show up and do an incredible job. They also leave ZERO mess behind. In fact, I think they even cleaned up some messes that weren't part of the tree job. Their prices are reasonable and their schedule flexible. If you have a tree you hate, don't wait - the sooner you call these guys the sooner you can start getting your yard back! Thanks Gabriel, thanks Lazarus, and everyone else who's names I didn't catch! I hope the boss takes you to a great lunch because you've certainly earned it today because my yard/trees were no wee saplings.
This company is awesome!
I sent an inquiry via email and Gabriel got back to me within an hour and came out for an estimate just a couple days after. He called and came a bit earlier than scheduled, which was great!
We needed to plant a tree and few shrubs to meet our HOA's guidelines. Gabriel read the guidelines very thoroughly and made notes. He recommended the type of trees and shrubs.
After we accepted the quote, he went to the nursery and took pictures of the tree and shrubs to help us provide to our HOA for approval. He was more than happy to be looped in for the approval process with the HOA!
On the scheduled day for the planting, the crew came right on time and did a beautiful work!!! Andy stopped by few days later to check our irrigation. He came after work hours to look at it and came back the next morning to fix everything and made sure all are working properly. The amazing part, he didn't ring a bell or asked for us. I found out that he came by checking our security camera! :)
These guys are just amazing!!!

I highly recommend Veteran Family Tree Service. I was looking to remove a palm in my backyard and requested a few quotes through Yelp! A couple of companies scheduled appointments to come out and check out the palm but they either never showed or kept trying to reschedule. Veteran Family was quick to reply and they were very professional and courteous. Gabriel came out to do the quote and although I had to go back to work during our scheduled appointment, he was able to get a look at the palm and was able to provide the quote without me being there. Their price was fair and I scheduled to have the palm cut down. Andrew and his crew came over and took care of the palm quickly and did a great job. I was expecting for my yard to look like a mess afterwards but they did a phenomenal job cleaning up after themselves and even cleared out all the leaves that had piled up around the palm. I will definitely be using them again in the future and encourage anyone that's been looking for tree services to give them a call.
We just had this company remove a very large Palo Verde from our front yard. The crew was just awesome! They were very polite, professional and seemed to really enjoy their work. When done, they left the front yard very clean and in excellent shape. I highly recommend this company!
We recently had Veteran Family Tree Service trim a large Jacaranda tree in our front yard. It is about 50+ years old and 25 feet tall, and was in desperate need of a trimming (hadn't been trimmed in about 4 yrs).
Their quote was the lowest I received (which ranged from $400-$600). They were very professional, showed up when they said they would, did an excellent job, and charged me exactly what they quoted. Our tree looks like a tree again(instead of an overgrown bush)! I would definitely recommend these guys if you have trees that need some attention.
I had Veteran Family Tree Service out to trim 2 Chinese Elms in my backyard that needed thinning badly. One is about 30 years old and over half my house, during monsoon storms my anxiety was through the roof(no pundt intended). Andy came out to give me a bid the same day I called him...WOW!! He arrived right on time and quoted a fair price. I was concerned that my roof would get damaged, but Andy and his team put me at ease as soon as I saw him start, he knows what he is doing! I would HIGHLY recommend Veteran Family Tree Service.
From now on he is know as
Awesome Andy!
Thank You for your good work and Military Service!
Andy and Steve and their crew did an AMAZING job cutting down our huge Mesquite and Palo Verde trees!! It was fascinating watching them work and they made a very dangerous job look easy! They were so thorough, thoughtful and respectful! We are so happy we found Veteran Family Tree Service!!!

Promptly responded to my call regarding a dying tree. Andres arrived and surveyed the tree and developed a course of action.
Staff arrived when scheduled and quickly cut the tree. Advised a future course of action to encourage new growth.
I appreciated their concern for my tree and guidance going forward. They are quick and efficient.
We had Andy, Steve & his crew out to trim various trees & remove a palm tree & succulent plant from our home. Being new to AZ, you really never know who your going to get when a company comes to your house. This company was amazing. From Gabriel who gave met with me & gave an estimate, to the completed project today! I highly recommend these proud Veterans! I will definitely use them again! Thank you for doing such a great job!
Great job! They were very responsive, through the Yelp messaging app. I was able to send pictures & they gave me a quote all through the app. Andrew called to scheduled a time& date. They were there on time and ready to go. Did an excellent job removing to Sisco trees.
I can't say enough about Veteran Family Tree service
They were out quickly to to give us a quote It was very reasonable for what we wanted done We setup a time to have the work done. They arrived on time verified what they were going to do. answered all of my questions and went to work. They did a great job pruning the trees and did a great job cleaning up after. I highly recommend Veteran's Family Tree service. They are now my go to guys for any tree services I need done in the future

We contacted Veteran Family Tree Service through yelp. They responded to our e-mail within a few minutes. We arranged for an estimate. The representative arrived on time, was very friendly, and listened to what we wanted done. We received an estimate the same day, and set up a time for the work to be done. The crew arrived in a timely manner, removed one large pine tree, two citrus trees and all three stumps in about an hour. They cleaned up everything, and left the property better than they found it. We found Veteran Family Tree Service to be 'tree'mendous, and we think you will, too.
What a professional and polite crew. 4 men in the crew who did a fantastic job at removing one mesquite, trimming and thinning a second mesquite and thinning a cactus which took more than a few bites out of their arms and legs! Highly recommend this company for any of your tree service needs. I know I will be using them again when it's time for another trim!! Thanks guys

I've been sitting on this Eucalyptus for the better part of a decade. It's a nice tree, but in a tough location, and functionally it wasn't really providing the shade needed to justify keeping this 50 plus foot tree. I took no less than a half dozen quotes, and Andy beat them soundly. A few weeks later, they came to do the job. They were on time, and had a nice crew...6, including Andy. They all seemed passionate and excited to be at work, which to me, means a lot. They spent the entire day taking this tree down. They were pleasant to talk to, answered any questions I had and even suggested pro active ways I could manage the area to limit re growth. I always appreciate good companies who seem passionate about their jobs, have crews of guys that love what they do, and smile all day. It's not easy being a homeowner and having people over all day. But this was a breeze. I highly recommend this company. I may add that they were still smiling after being in the 106 degree June heat for 9 hours. Thank you VFTS!
What a great company that does a terrific job. They are quick to get back to you and make great suggestions on how to landscape the yard. I would highly recommend them.
Veteran Family Tree Service trimmed our Big Tree this morning. Andy and his team did an outstanding job. They clean up the Driveway and surrounding area. Part of the Tree hangs over a neighbors and they even picked up the Dog Poop. Very Professional and prompted. Scheduled them for 7am and they were here on time and finished in 2 and quarter hours. I definitely will have them do work for us in the future.
Andy and his crew arrived on time and were ready to do the job the tree location was between a pool and a block fence they brought tarps to help contain the chips and branches from the tree keeping my pool covered and almost debris free I was extremely happy with the way they completed the job I know its just trimming a tree but when you see a group of individuals work as a team to get the job done is amazing they cleaned up the place were very open with communication professional and finished with a smile again THANK YOU Andy and Crew...
Veteran Family Tree Service just completed work at my home. I found them to be responsive, reasonable, reliable, and they provided professional service. They significantly trimmed my mesquite tree but kept the balanced shape as they took out interwoven branches. They also significantly trimmed my olive tree. They left my yard spotless! Other companies either no showed or provided outrageous estimates ($800 for two trees). VFTS came to my home and gave me an estimate the day after I called them and the trees were trimmed two days later. These guys are outstanding and I highly recommend them. They have five stars for a reason - they earned them!

Wow! These guys are awesome. Not only are they professional and efficient, they went above and beyond today. They cleaned up my husband's unfinished projects in the yard and helped him troubleshoot a leak we've had for years. They absolutely did NOT have to do that. I will definitely be calling them the next time I need a tree trimmed... or a husband.
I've used several tree companies in Phoenix over the years. Andy and his team at Veteran Family Tree Service takes the top spot. Very thorough and priced right. They went way above and beyond in removing our tree and also did an excellent job trimming another. I highly recommend this company.

Andy and his crew are professional, on time, and listened to what I requested, KEEP THE SHADE They quoted me over the phone for thinning out the branches for the 25 year old TEXAS EBONY. The tree has many thorns but Andy climbed the tree and the results are just astounding. i can see the blue sky when standing under the tree which will help during the monsoon storms. The tree has been thinned out and the branches still provide the shade. They know what they are doing and could not be more satisfied with the price and job performance. Highly recommend.

I requested a quote through Yelp and Andy came out the same day (on a Sunday) to give me a quote to remove a bottle-brush tree and stump. I received a very reasonable quote and scheduled an appointment 2 weeks out. We had to reschedule once, due to inclement weather, and Andy kept in contact with me every step of the way. The team at Veteran Family Tree Service was very professional and did an excellent job protecting my house when taking the tree down and when grinding the stump (the tree was right next to the house in my courtyard). They also cleaned up exceptionally well after they were done. I will definitely be contacting Andy and his team for all my future tree needs.
I called Andy and he was ready to come out the same day to take a look. I asked him to come out the next day, and he called ahead like promised. Straight shooter with what I think was an excellent price considering the complexity of the location and shape of the tree. Definitely will use again and recommend.

I had Veteran Family Tree Service trim my ironwood tree. It desperately needed a little T.L.C. They were running behind schedule, but when they arrived they did a fantastic job. I will be using them again when my tree needs a trim. Thank you Veteran Family Tree Service for a job well done. :)
What an amazing company! I had some extremely overgrown oleander trees in my backyard that were threatening the integrity of my block wall. After a simple and straight forward consultation with one of the company owners, I was given an honest bid; which was lower than the other competitive I had out. 2 days later, the crew was out and made quick work of the problem trees.
They did an outstanding job on every aspect, including to make sure the entire work area was cleaned up prior to their departure. Thanks for a job extremely well done!! I'll definitely be calling again for any and all future landscaping needs here at my home.
The owner Andy is honest, courteous, professional and gives very good pricing. His company is hard working up in the trees and down on the ground. They do the job thorough and right the first time. They are very quick to come out and get the job done. Will definitely use again and recommend to anyone who needs trees attended to.
Andy & crew showed up on time and completed job. They did a great job and excellent clean up too. I'd recommend them and if I need tree service I know who to call.
Andres was very proactive initially. He quickly responded to my request for a quote and then provided a reasonable quote based on photos I took.
Due to his quick response and his stated availability within a couple weeks, I went ahead and hired him for removal of trees. That is where the positive impressions ended.
He stated that he would be in the neighborhood the week before to see the trees and confirm the quote. This did not happen. I didn't really care as he had stated that my photos were good, but this should have been a flag.
At 3:30 p.m. on the day before he was scheduled to do the work, he stated that he was not going to make it because of two reasons. One: the potential for rain. Rain had been in the forecast for a week, yet this was the first time he mentioned it. BTW, it only sprinkled that day from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m.; there was no precipitation afterwards. Two (the more likely reason): he had overcommitted himself. His solution? To delay my job for more than three weeks later after I had already waited for a couple weeks. After stated that was unacceptable, he suggested that perhaps he could make it earlier, but he wouldn't know until the last minute and would contact me if he could do it at this earlier date. He did not contact me.
As a contractor myself, I abhor this lack of commitment and the last-minute notice. If you choose him, make sure that you have a back-up plan. Thankfully, I had received several quotes within the same price range and was able to get the work done within my desired time frame.
Happy with the tree thinning/trimming service received and price was reasonable and comparable to other quotes received. Everything was cleaned up nicely once work was completed too. Andy was professional and prompt with all communications. The only negative thing may have been the fact they were booked out a couple weeks but considering it was right in the middle of monsoon season it was understandable.
This was a top notch experience! Received an estimate very quickly, Andy showed up to do the job right on time and did a beautiful job of cutting back and shaping our out of control grapefruit tree. We would definitely recommend this company to others.
I contacted several tree services to trim a large pine tree in my front yard that looked like it was dying. All the other services ONLY wanted to remove it with most quotes over a $1,000. Andy was prompt in his estimate and was willing to cut it back and trim out the dying limbs for a fraction of the price to see it it would come back. They arrived right on time and did an excellent job on the tree. Clean up was great. We will look at the tree again this spring to see if it survives. I highly recommend Veteran Family Tree Service! Thank you Andy
Andy returns phone calls quickly and scheduled my service. He and his worker got the one queen palm I have cleaned up and looking great! The service was quick and easy! I would recommend this company and definitely will use them again!
They pruned two large trees in my front yard. They did an excellent job, and were very reasonably priced. I would definitely call them again!
