Recent Tree Service Reviews in Traverse City
- Rivas Tree ServiceGreat. Very good communicator and knowledgeable. I live in Michigan and I had the work done on a rental house in Chicago. Every transaction was over the phone and emails, he was great at getting back and updating me.
- A 1 Professional Tree ServiceTHEY REMOVED A HUGE TREE EFFICIENTLY, WERE PROFESIONAL, AND CLEANED UP BEFORE LEAVING. ALSO POLITE AND ACCOMMODATING. WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR. I HAVE USED THEM ONCE BEFORE AND WAS PLEASED WITH THEIR SERVICE AND PRICE THEN, SO I USED THEM AGAIN THIS SECOND TIME.
- A 1 Professional Tree ServiceDone in a short amount of time. Did as we asked them to: wood cut into size piece we wanted and left where we wanted.
- A 1 Professional Tree ServiceThis is the most amazing and hard working tree company in the area!! I will always call them if I have any type of tree issue. It was a large task to remove all of the trees and A-1 Professional Tree Service showed up to my house with about 12 men. Henry, the owner, and his son were very knowledgable about the task ahead. They went to work right away! All of the workers were so skilled, professional and efficient. Since I wanted the trees cut up into firewood, not only were they okay with cutting the logs down, they even stacked the firewood in my lean-to shed. I could not be more impressed with the work they performed. When they were done, they walked around and made sure that any scrap pieces were picked up and removed. Even their price for all of the work I had done beat everyone else's price by far!! Again, I cannot stress enough that this is the company you want to hire for all your tree trimming/removal needs. They do not disappoint!!
- A 1 Professional Tree ServiceCalled them, 2 hours later they were on the job. estimated 400 , job came in at 350.00. 4 of them showed up and worked as a team to get the trees pulled away from the house and safely cut down. It was fun watching these professionals in action. You could tell they knew what they were doing. They even knocked down a few extra problem trees. I will use them again
- A 1 Professional Tree ServiceTheir price is very reasonable. The yard looked better when they left then it looked before. They are licensed and bonded. They were also very careful and cleaned up good after themselves.
- A 1 Professional Tree ServiceOh my goodness! The whole process could not have gone smoother. I was a little nervous about hiring someone but when Henry (I think that was his name) showed up he gave me an estimate to remove the tree and to grind the stump and since it seemed like a fair price so I decided then and there to have A 1 do the work. I did as much research as I could before calling around and one of the things that leaned me to go towards A 1 is because they are donors for The Special Olympics. This is a population of people that I work with and I like being able to support someone who supports these wonderful people. When Henry left, after giving me the quote I realized that I did not get a written quote but I decided to let it go and trust that he was a man of his word and I was not disappointed. It is refreshing to find people who actually say what the mean and mean what the say without having to have things in writing. Henry called me the day before letting me know when the crew would be there to take down the tree. The day of I received a call from Dave, I think it was, letting me know they were there to take remove the tree. When I got home I saw where the tree used to be. They cleaned the area very nicely. I am so pleased with the work they did and I will not hesitate to call them again
- A 1 Professional Tree ServiceCalled to get an estimate, estimate was done with in a day or two, They were pretty busy at the time, and we were in No rush,so it all worked out. They called to let me know they were coming that day, and we had the trees marked we wanted down, they took all trees that were marked. ground all stumps and did an excellent job on clean up. My husband and I were very pleased with their work and professionalism, we would use them time and time again if needed, and would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a job well done
- A 1 Professional Tree ServiceThis is the second time we have used A-1. The first time was after the spring storm of 2011. They did $4000.00 worth of clean-up after the storm. Twelve men worked for over 6 hours. They were polite, fast and very neat. We hired them to do tree work for us again. This time they had to remove a huge dead white pine right on the lake shore. When they were finished with the work, the lake and the wooded beach area looked as if they had never even been there. Not a twig was left in the lake. Also, the final bill matches the estimated cost. We would plan to hire them again if needed
- A 1 Professional Tree ServiceGreat job. very professional crew. worked closely with us to i.d. trees to remove or save.

"tech was wonderful- very focused on task & tried multiple solutions but to no avail. after 3+hours, suggestion was a new hard drive which I ultimately had installed it for half the cost of the $300+ analysis but the techs notes were useful! . I did agree to the hourly fee & let time slip by but in future, would watch the clock better & compare prices b4 hiring.

Tree Service FAQ
-
How much does it cost to remove a tree?
Answer: Typically, tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000. Tree removal costs vary widely based on the number of trees being removed, the height of each tree, the diameter of each tree trunk, and accessibility to the tree. Smaller trees are usually less expensive to remove than larger ones, as are those that are more easily accessible.
-
Do you need a permit to cut down a tree?
Answer: In many areas, you don’t need a permit to cut down a tree on your own private, residential property. But some municipalities may require tree removal permits for conservation purposes or to comply with local ordinances. When you hire a tree removal pro, they’ll be able to tell you whether you need a permit for your specific tree removal project.
-
When is a good time to trim trees?
Answer: In most regions, the best time to trim your trees is during the winter months. During the active growing season (spring through fall), trimming your trees can leave them more vulnerable to disease and less likely to thrive. During the winter months, when trees are dormant, trimming them will cause less stress and leave them ready to grow again in the spring.
-
What is the average cost to cut a tree down?
Answer: Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 per tree. Establishing an average cost can be difficult because each tree will be assessed and priced based on factors like height, trunk diameter, and accessibility. In general, smaller trees cost less to remove than larger trees, as do trees that are more accessible.
-
How much does it cost to service a tree?
Answer: The cost to service a tree is typically between $430 and $1,320. The cost to service a tree depends on several factors, including what exactly you’d like done, the tree’s height, its health, the location of the tree, and local labor costs. The national average cost for tree services is $865. Tree trimming isn’t necessary for all trees but can improve their health and longevity by encouraging new growth.
-
What is the difference between tree trimming and pruning?
Answer: While tree trimming and tree pruning might appear similar to the untrained eye, they serve different purposes. Tree pruning is used to thin a tree by removing unnecessary or burdensome branches. Tree trimming promotes healthy growth by trimming but not removing branches.
