  I had the pleasure of getting to know the owner and crew of baby gorilla tree service over the summer/fall while they worked on one of Taos’s oldest and largest trees sandwiched in my apartment complex. Anthony, the owner is one of the most compassionate and kind humans I have ever met in my life. I watched members of his crew help escort an elderly tenant through the parking lot, they helped move our vehicles to accommodate the equipment and communicated directly with me even though I wasn’t the landlord, because they tree happened to be in my yard. I can’t recommend them enough. I will genuinely miss chatting with Anthony and the crew and having their presence here at the apartments. They also did a phenomenal job on the tree. Anthony’s ingenuity made for a safe environment when all other tree services took one look at the job and turned it down.

  Anthony and his crew have been reliable & the price is right. For the first job he did for me I got several other quotes and he gave me the best price. The job was done and I was very pleased. I asked him to come back to another property following insurance requirements. They did the job exactly as promised, I would highly recommend Anthony and his crew. Plus, Anthony is very detail oriented, asking questions and giving good recommendations.

  Anthony came out to look at our property and rather than starting off with what he and his team could do, he listened and commented on the current conditions of our trees and landscape. First, he was right on time when he said he would be here - not a common thing in Taos. Really appreciated all of the advice he gave me on pruning etc. Basically said he wouldn't do any pruning, trimming or tree removal right now. He provided great information on how to maintain our trees. I learned a lot and very much appreciated his guidance and consultation. When it does come time, definitely calling Anthony and Baby Gorilla Tree Services.

  I've used Baby Gorilla twice. Each time they came and saw what I requested, and also provided some suggestions based on their expertise. They finished cleaning up, and left the wood chips as requested, so I can spread them for mulch. Baby gorilla provided excellent service at a very reasonable cost, doing exactly what was needed. I highly recommend them for your tree services.

  Do not hire Baby Gorilla Tree Service— save yourself the money and the headache We hired Baby Gorilla to remove a large, decaying tree, based on a firm written estimate of $6,000 with a clearly documented scope with pictures. We chose them because they underbid every other company — we now understand why. On the scheduled start date, their crew began cutting, then abruptly stopped. We were told the estimate was wrong, that they’d need a crane they didn’t even own, and that we’d owe an extra $2,000 with no firm timeline for completion. When we pushed back — reasonably, given we had an agreement — the owner, Anthony Alvarez, was condescending, dismissive and combative rather than accountable. Instead of addressing the problem, he lectured us about how cheap and superior his company supposedly was, offered no real solution, and treated a legitimate concern as an inconvenience to him. We had paying guests renting our property and a job that needed to be done as promised. Baby Gorilla left us stuck mid-project with a decaying tree and no real plan. We called Wilson’s Woodyard, who came out the next day, quoted $2,000 less than Baby Gorilla’s inflated price, owned their own equipment, and finished the entire job — professionally and courteously. Baby Gorilla’s lowball bid, sudden price hike, and dismissive, arrogant attitude when questioned tell you everything you need to know about how they operate. We would not trust this company with a job of any size, and we’d strongly encourage you to get a quote from Wilson’s Woodyard instead.
