I have had Tree Surgeons and Brian and John's teams do work at our place a few times over the last several years. Both times they have done outstanding work. They provide great service and its obvious they care about trees, they will advise honestly about tree health and help make a plan (rather than some tree companies that will just cut anything to charge you). Highly recommend this team.

Sara and I bought this new home. The inside and the house are perfect and sturdy but the lawn is really a mess. So we tried contacting Minnesota Tree Surgeons for a service. They came equipped and finished the job quickly. They were skilled and very knowledgeable. It’s good to have them here in town..

Brian was great to work with. I had a neighbor's tree that was all over my roof and he did a nice job explaining to my neighbor what he was going to do to the tree so that my neighbor was happy with the result also. Also did a great job with a giant maple that needed to be trimmed. Lastly, I had a huge stump ground up and I was happy with that job as well. I'll definitely call Minnesota Tree Surgeons next time I need help!

Brian and his team were fantastic. The estimate Brian gave me was significantly lower than the other I received and he was upbeat and happy to answer all my questions. The day of the removal they arrived on time and were very friendly & efficient. At the last minute I wanted to add one more tree to the removal list and they were able to accommodate for a very reasonable price. I will definitely use these guys again!

Brian and team did a great job removing several trees from our backyard and trimmed up a few others as well. From the time of the initial consult to the day of removal, Brian was very up front and responsive. There were no surprises in terms of costs and expectations were clearly set. They also did a great job with clean up. Highly recommend to others.

Great company to work with. I needed serveral trees at a sorority in Minneapolis trimmed and Minnesota Tree Surgeons went out right away and got me a bid, the work was done immediately and a lot cheaper than the other three bids I had received. I also got a follow up call a few months ago reminding me of the other work that we could do in the spring (previous work was done in the fall).

Great professional work for 25% less than our local "big name" tree company. Previous owner of our home had planted a sugar maple on the south side of our house in S. Minneapolis with only 16 feet separating our home from our neighbors. I should have removed the tree shortly after I purchased our home, but a fast 20 years later, the little 6 foot tree has turned into a 60 foot tree with branches touching the roofs of both homes... a slow motion disaster, or a fast motion one in the next big wind storm. Enter Brian and his excellent staff at MN Tree Surgeons. His staff came about an
