My first impression with the owner, Parats, was very positive. He paid attention to my questions and answered very concisely addressing all of my concerns. His crew arrived on time with all of the equipment that was needed to do the job. My trees were trimmed to the height that I wanted to an equal height on all trees. The cuttings were removed immediately and sent through a chipper/shredder. The site was clean and ready for mowing when they were finished. If you need trees pruned or trimmed hire this company with confidence !!!!

Fantastic experience! Very professional, quality work. They went beyond even what I expected trimming my trees & removed all the debris from my property. I called other tree services before hiring Forest Keepers Tree Care, I just found them to be polite & take there time with me explaining things & answering any questions I had. I would definitely hire them to come back & do any other tree service for me. I highly recommend this group to anyone that needs any tree service, You won't be disappointed and you will be glad you called them. Thank you Forest Keepers!

Forest Keepers was very accommodating to my schedule and easy and great to work with. They did a wonderful job of trimming our trees and removing a tree. They completed the job by leaving our yard cleaner than how they found it. We are definitely pleased with their customer service and hard work and knowledge of trees all at a good value. We will definitely use this company again and highly recommend them to others!
Description of Work: We had two large and one small tree trimmed and cleaned up and one medium sized tree completely removed.

As a home owner, I'm pretty cautious about who I have work on my property. I will say that right away I felt like the Forest Keepers crew was honest and showed integrity. They were respectful towards my property which I think is VERY IMPORTANT! They showed up on time and got the job done very quickly, but not at the cost of safety. They had great care & cleaned up very well after themselves - WHICH I AM A STICKLER ABOUT! I have NO COMPLAINTS about these guys! Surprisingly good. The quote they gave me was the best one out of three. Honestly, I am the type that doesn't mind paying a little extra for good work, which is hard to find these days. Good job Forest Keepers!

Absolutely fantastic company!! Wolfe’s crew did excellent work for the trees in our front and back yard. They provided great customer service by going the extra mile to make customers happy. They were fast, efficient, safe and absolutely professional. After cutting off the dead branches they cleaned every single piece! The result is amazing! I highly recommend Wolfe and his crew. Thanks so much Forest Keepers Tree Care!!!

First job was to remove some shrubs from a landscape bed. He gave a very reasonable estimate (I had 2 others) and actually showed up that day (SUNDAY) to pull them. He actually had to hook up his truck and PULL them, they were so tough. I scheduled some tree pruning on June 12 to get some large limbs away from the house and remove dead ones from aging ash trees. He and two teammates did a great job of pruning to my specs. I had to leave before job was done, and they cleaned up nicely with only the slightest signs that they were there. June 17 our area was part of that hit by the strong storms. So happy that we'd already pruned, but unfortunately had two high limbs that split and were caught up on one tree. Not his error, but he stopped by after another job within a few days and took them down. I paid for the work, but the amount was extremely fair in my opinion, especially considering the post-storm demand that I know is going on around here. Super nice, friendly young family man doing what he likes to do. He brought his little boy along to do an estimate, and my wife was in LOVE. (With the son...) R&S - Lenexa

Out of three bids---Forest Keeper was the best. They were clean, quick and price was very reasonable for two yards.
Description of Work: The trimming of trees in two yards and mulch from two yards. They were great for the trimming and letting me have the mulch from the trees. The machinery used was powerful, clean, and the arboriculturists climbs were done in the traditional style (neat to watch).
