Hoovers Tree Service

Great owner and crew, professional, personable, easy to work with, skillful --it's awesome how they climbed and/or used their "bucket truck" to do difficult work safely and efficiently. They are dedicated to improving and maintaining tree health. They got my big job done all in one day -- amazing! And my yard was immaculate by the time they finished cleaning up.

This is the third time I have used their services. I have always been happy with the results.

It went better than we expected....never thought there could be so little damage with 4 big trees coming down...we are very pleased

They came to Rockland, MI with a crew of 6 in the morning and pruned all of our trees and removed a dozen stumps in one day. Left our orchard clear of all the trimmings. They did a wonderful job and left us with a lot of information how to tend to our orchard. Give them call . . . They really do it all.

Hoovers did a great job on the tree removal. Several trees and stumps were taken out for a reasonable price. I am very happy with the job that they did.

Hoover Tree Service was exceptional. Ray, the owner, walked our property with us and went over several options for improving our 3 acres. What we thought was going to be about 6 tree removal process, he was able to show us that only two needed complete removal. He gave us options on how we could accomplish all the work that needed to be done, and worked within our budget. We opted for an all day crew and could not have been happier. The crew was incredibly professional, never stopped working, answered all questions as they went along, and completed a very complicated tree removal down a steep embankment without damaging any trees around it. Several tree trims were extremely close to our roof, and they kept our house protected (and even offered to have us go in the bucket to inspect for ourselves at the end of the day). This crew truly knows their business and knew how to take care of our entire property. When they were finished, you could not tell any workers had even been on our property as they had cleaned it up beautifully. All that was left was a 3-acre property with gorgeous trees. We would definitely recommend this company and we will use no one else to work with our trees.

A very happy customer.
Had several large, dead trees from neighbor's private fence line removed, along with a large dead tree leaning over home roof.
Very professional crew and service. Technicians worked safely and meticulously. Beautiful clean up.
Reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

It went very well. Ray responded right away when I called for an estimate, and he and the crew showed up on time when the job was done. They were extremely professional, and left the area spotless when they were finished. We have used Hoover Tree Service several times during the past twenty plus years, and have always been pleased with their work.

The service was great and Ray Hoovers crew did a great job. They cleaned up very well after the job.

Feel confident that you are in good hands. Gives accurate estimates and pays very close attention to details.

Our original request was to make a path for satellite reception and remove a dead branch which was hanging up in the canopy 30 ft above our garage. Ray Hoover (the owner) came out and generated an estimate with several other additional tasks which he saw as needing to be done. The main additions were to open up the space above the roof to allow better sunlight and air flow to combat the moss problem (this was also recommended by the inspector when we bought the house), widen the entrance to the driveway to allow larger vehicles to get in/out easier, remove a dead birch which was leaning over our carport, and remove a dying birch which was above our power lines.
Due to the number of trees to be removed and trimmed for satellite reception and above the garage and house they offered a full day rate where they did all the quoted tasks for $3400 instead of the quoted $3600 and would provide a whole 6-man crew for 8 hours to accomplish other tasks as well.
Hoover's has the equipment to make much of this work relatively easy. They have a huge bucket truck which was able to reach to the top of nearly any tree on our property (if it could drive to them). It was able to reach over the house to get at some of the branches shading the house. In the process they saw that there were a couple small holes in the shingles and I provided shingles, nails and roof tar and they made a repair to the area. They also used a leaf blower from the bucket to blow leaves out of the gutters.
They also have a huge chipper, which they used to chip up whole tree trunks of 12+ inches in diameter.
Clearing the path for satellite reception took longer than expected since trimming the top branches of a huge maple, which was the expected solution, wasn't going to be good enough and the whole tree had to come down along with a couple smaller trees. This lead to them not having time to address dead branches in the canopy of the trees in the driveway circle.

The owners and crew were punctual and performed all of the services as agreed. They were also very good at responding to phone calls, which is not always the case for contractors in our area. Would definitely use again in the future.

Very professional job, all the right equipment, polite and hard working staff, complied with all my requests. Very large trees very close to the house, absolute care taken to avoid damage. Help yourself and the crew by being specific about what you want done
thanks Ray and all the guys!

My husband had chopped down a very large and overgrown lilac bush. It had a huge, thick, root system that was in the way of a fence we planned to put up. We talked to one contractor who came three days later and said he would charge $150.00. We then called Hoover tree service.

Ray Hoover showed up that very day with a very interesting piece of equipment! It was remote controlled. He helped us with our fence so we had an opening for it, and then he just went to work. That little machine hummed and ground and sawed and in about 15 minutes the place where all the roots were was now beautifully soft soil ready for planting! We were amazed!

Ray Hoover has a fantastic work ethic, a friendly attitude, and looks and acts professionally.

The crew was very punctual and polite. They were very efficient, the contracted work was done in less than the allotted time so they took down a couple additional trees and cleaned up some dead fall on the property. We would definitely use them again.

I would recommend Hoover Tree Service to anyone who would like safe, punctual, and professional tree removal. They work very hard, and get the job done in a timely manner! They clean up their mess, relocate wildlife, and you can trust that your property will remain safe during the process.

Hoover's came the very next day after we called them. We have used a different local tree service and had to wait months for them to come do the work. Hoover's was very professional and detailed in their work including clean-up. Thank you for your timely work!

The overall experience with Hoover Tree Service was great!

This last job went very well, as had all our previous experiences with Hoover's Tree Service. We have hired them several times in the past 15+ years and have always been delighted with the work Ray and his crew do. His staff is professional, hard-working, cheerful and boy, do they clean up the work site after they’re done!
We always feel we’re in safe and knowledgable hands with Ray. He looks out for our best interests – for the
short and long term. His knowledge of trees, shrubs and the ecology of our property is impressive. And Ray always spends a lot of time with us before a job starts to make sure we understand all of our options and costs ahead of time.
We highly recommend Hoover’s Tree Service and would be happy to talk to anyone about our experiences with Ray and his crew.”
