Past - It started with Cleve and Denise back in 1979. Cleve was working for a family friend's tree & landscape company climbing trees. They decided that, with a baby on the way, they wanted to have more freedom, so they got a loan from a family member and bought their own saddle, spikes, and saw. He threw them in the back of his rusted pick-up truck and off they went.

The city assigned A Tree Service to remove two diseased trees we had to have removed. After trying several times to contact them in the months after finding out they were our assigned company, one day I heard chainsaws outside my house and discovered they had showed up with no warning and begun cutting. After about an hour, they left without clearing anything up, with several large branches blocking my driveway and the neighbor's. I was never communicated with about any of this, and when I called the office to ask what was going on I was told by an annoyed sounding person that the workers

I've never worked with A Tree Services and never will. One of their employees yelled out his work van at my two-year-old because he was slow crossing in front of the van at a stop sign. That lack of decency on a residential road in the Longfellow neighborhood tells me I wouldn't want this company working on my property.

Our tree was contracted by the city to A Tree to cut down. I have to say they did a good job removing and cleaning up the area at an affordable price. The customer service and communication however needs a lot of improvement. The letter from city of MPLS said to call and schedule a time if we need to remove cars, fences, etc for A Tree to come remove. The city gave us a deadline of only a few weeks to remove the tree from the property. I called A Tree to make a schedule or at least get an estimated date of when they will be coming because I have cars that I need to move and no one got back to me

I didn't hire A Tree Service, but my neighbors did, and I can say that if you would like to hire an honest company or care about your neighbors, I would not recommend hiring A Tree Service.
My experience was as follows- I received a text from another neighbor during the middle of my working day with a picture of their boom truck on the front lawn of our house. There was no attempt to get a hold of us and ask permission- no phone call, no knock on the front door in the morning, etc. They were already gone by the time I got home, but there were large depressions in the lawn and large dead spots

Cleve, the owner, was very supportive during my month of deciding whether to remove my 100 year old elm tree or not. It was a very difficult decision for me. Once I made the decision, he responded the very next day with his crew ready to remove my tree. He and his crew were very hand working and got the job done in one day. My elm had grown so large that the tornado fence post was embedded into the side of my tree. Cleve and his crew were able to remove the entire trunk from the metal post before grinding up the stump completely. I have used this company for three other jobs and have been

A tree service was absolutely phenomenal to work with! We had a tree with Dutch Elm that needed to be removed. Their pricing was by far the most reasonable after getting quotes from 20+ companies. They let us know the work would be done within the week, and it was done within HOURS! Yard looked amazing, no issues at all. Highly recommend them and will be calling them for all future services!

I called this tree service for an emergency consult as there were some very large branches on a tree on my property that broke and were threatening to harm my neighbors property. The estimator came in a timely manner and gave me what I thought was a very good quote. I decided to accept the offer and the estimator said the crew would arrive the following morning between 9 and 10 to start the work. At 930 I received a text advising me they would have to send another estimator about to look at it. I asked when this would happen. The original estimator said he was working on it. After many hours of

CUT DOWN THE WRONG TREE! I hired Cleve from A Tree Service to cut down two mulberry trees in my yard and do other tree cutting at two other properties I own. I came home to discover that he had messed up and despite him having written down "2 Mulberries" and me emailing him the exact trees I wanted cut down, he cut down 1 mulberry and a beautiful 10" diameter, 30 ft high ash tree.
Instead Cleve countered with ME paying him $1000 for a 1/2 finished job and then him giving me a sapling to replace a 30 ft tall tree, which was valued at $1500 by an tree appraiser. (Who knew they

A Tree Service is the best in the tree industry. They have friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional staff that are amazing to work with. They are very affordable and do a wonderful job; my yard was cleaner when they left than before they arrived! I had my Maple tree in my backyard trimmed several times and the bushes on the side of my house removed. They listened to what I wanted done, made some extra suggestions and my tree is healthy and full of life! I also had them plant two tress in my front yard, which are thriving and growing perfectly. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to
