Ryan's Tree Care LLC

On the morning of June 21 one trunk of a three-trunk willow tree growing in the wetland behind our home blew down into our yard and against the house. Fortunately, there was no damage to speak of, but there was the matter of removing the tree. I called three services, one of which was Ryan's Tree Care, Inc. Ryan Cox came out that same day to bid the removal. In talking it through with him, I observed that it might be a good idea to remove the remaining two trunks, since the tree had been compromised and one of the remaing trunks looked like it might damage a neighbor's property if it fell. The location of the tree about twenty feet into the wetland and my very narrow end of the cul-de-sac side yards made damge to my lawn as well as those of my neighbors likely if carting the tree sections out conventionally. Ryan came up with the idea of parking a crane on my driveway, hoisting the tree sections up and over the house and setting them down into the cul-de-sac, where they were further cut up and hauled away. He was able to put the bid together in a way that made sense financially. Three days later he and his crew came out and with the efficiency of a military operation, were in and out in less than three hours. By the time they left you'd have been hard pressed to tell they had ever been there. I was more than satisfied, more accurately greatly impressed by all phases of their involvement from start to finish..

We had two conversations. Ryan is a good guy and want to do the best for his customers. Our first call was a false start. Angie's List said he was 11 miles away, actually quite a bit further. He is currently slammed. The second call reassured me that he wanted the best for his customers. We live too far away. I don't want to grade him down because of Angie's List mistake.

Ryan and his crew were great. Ryan came out himself to look at the work and provide an estimate. He suggested he leave the mulch from grinding the stumps to save us money. He even gave me a couple of names/numbers for people to replace trees. Ryan's crew worked quickly and did the work as he explained. Within a couple of weeks, the crew showed up to grind the stumps. (I'm guessing the stump grinding would have occurred sooner, but the ground was too wet.) Excellent service. I will definitely use his company again.

We sought bids for this service about a year ago from several tree care providers. Ryan's Tree Service seemed knowledgable about the type of work that needed to be completed, and was very personable. Having asked him to do the work approximately one year later, he honored his previous bid, based on the fact that a commercial tree service for some leased light industrial behind our property had already completed some of the work we had requested of Ryan's Tree Service, on our property line. His stump removal service removed the stumps as soon as it was practical to get on the property, due to the large amount of rain this year, and Ryan provided some referrals for other work we were hoping to complete on the property. Ryan's Tree Service did an excellent job of completing the work we requested.

I emailed the company to come out for an estimate, and when I received it the price seemed more than fair. I contacted the company to set up a date with a response of no later than 8 days. Two days later I contacted the company with a question regarding car access in/out of the alley and Ryan responded that it shouldn't be a problem, the trucks could move when needed, then told me that they would be working in my neighborhood the next two days and should be able to get the job done sooner than later. When I got home that night I was shocked to pull up and see no tree looming behind my garage! The company did a fantastic job cleaning up, only a missing tree and some small wood shavings marked that anything at all had happened. I couldn't have been more pleased with the work.

Ryan responded very quickly to my initial request and was able to schedule the trimming at a convenient time for us. The crew that trimmed the trees was quick and the person we spoke to was very professional and friendly. We were very happy with the results. The trees look so much better!

Ryan came over about 1 hour after I contacted him. He gave me an estimate on the spot for the fallen branch and other tree work that I was thinking about. He was very nice and professional. I gave him the ok to do the work the following week. He said I would be on the schedule to be completed by February and it was actually done the next week. The crew did a great job. A friend of mine uses him all the time and said she wouldn't use anyone else. I agree and won't call anyone else except Ryan's for my future work.

Everything was fabulous. Ryan came, gave an estimate on the spot, and a crew came later that day. I appreciated the professionalism, and how easy it all was. I called on a Tuesday, the job was done (and completely cleaned up!) on a Wednesday. I will be calling again when it's time for more tree trimming.

It is always sad to see just how quickly an 18 year old tree can be brought down. They did an excellent job and raked up any debis left in the yard. I thought the stump grinding would make a monumental mess because the tree was located in the front of the house. However, the men put some boards around the stump and put some plastic sheeting over that to eliminate a mess. The job was done thoroughly and the clean up was excellent. I will definitely be using Ryan again.

Ryan came out and did a walk around with me to discuss what we needed done. He gave me a time frame and price while he was here. He called me when he was ready to perform the job. He came with his crew, did the job, cleaned up, and left. I was very pleased.

We moved into our house in May and lost a limb off of a large oak in June. Called eight (yes, 8!) companies for estimates. Two companies suggested totally removing the trees (these are 100 + yr old trees with life still in them). Two of the eight companies wanted to charge $75+ just for estimates; and the others provided free estimates, Ryan's Tree Care being one of them. Ryan's Tree Care out shined all of them in matters of expertise, professionalism, service and price. Ryan and his crew are genuine not "sales-ie". From the initial call for an estimate to the final clean up this is a company that is working to build a lasting relationship with their customers versus just getting the one job. In my opinion Ryan's Tree Care should start a side business training companies from all areas on how to serve customers.

Ryan's Tree Care, Inc. crew was very professional. They arrived on time and fully equipped. Work was completed quickly. Clean-up was very thorough. Overall a very positive experience. Highly recommend.

I chose Ryan from Angies List based on his Ratings, and his nearby location. He came out exactly as agreed, gave me a detailed written estimate, and took the time to verbally review how the work would be done. The anticipated date for the job was several weeks out, as they had a lot of fall tree removal business already booked. I was out on both the day they took the tree down, and on the day the stump was ground out-both times I came home to find the work site was totally cleaned up, and there was little or no evidence on the lawn of the work that had been done. I chose Ryan because of his formal Arborist training, use of a hydraulic bucket to bring down parts of the tree ( which overhung the garage ), his effort to protect the lawn, a very competitive price, and that he and a helper would be the ones doing the work. Plus, Ryan is a very personable and professional guy to work with. I would use him again in an instant, based on this experience.

He took out the trees well, but they didn't grind the stumps down very well. Our landscaping company told us that the stumps weren't ground down well enough. I tried calling Ryan and he didn't call me back. My landscaping guy had to go out and get a grinder that cost me $180 to have done. I finally got a hold of Ryan and told him he needed to pay that and he refused, but offered to give us a good deal on more tree removal. He quoted the price and I agreed with it, but he came out to look at it and wanted to raise the price. I told him "no way" and decided to have the work done by another company. A day later Ryan showed up and called me wondering which trees I wanted him to remove. I told him I didn't hire him to do the work, and he told me that he'd charge me for the service charge of coming out. I will not be paying that and would not recommend his business practices.

Ryan was prompt on returning calls and estimate appointment. Made suggestions on how best to handle this sizeable job and how it would be accomplished. His crew arrived as schedule, asked throughout the job if work is satisfactory, answered questions and agreeable to suggestions. Thoroughly cleaned property at end of job. Very professional operation. Highly recommended. We received three bids for this job, Ryan's Tree Care was the middle bid.

They did a fantastic job from start to finish. Ryan responded promptly to my call and was over to give me an estimate the day after I called. They were able to do the job 2 weeks earlier than expected, and everything was completed in about an hour. I highly recommend them: they worked fast, cleaned up after themselves, and were very professional. I will definitely use them again in the future.

The project went fantastic! Ryan and his crew actually showed up a week earlier than we expected to remove the shrubs. By sheer coincidence, we were also having our roof replaced the day that Ryan's crew showed up. Both Ryan and his crew as well as our Roofing guys all worked around one another very well with no issues whatsoever. Both after removing the shrubs and grinding the stumps, Ryan and his crew did a fantastic job of cleaning up after themselves. It was so clean when they were done that my wife didn't even notice that they had come to take the stumps out! I had to point it out to her. Overall, this was a great experience. We've used a different highly-rated Angie's List company for shrub trimming/removal in the past and they were substantially more expensive than Ryan's Tree Care. We'll definitely use Ryan again!

Excelllent, this is the 2nd time I have used Ryan's Tree Care. Ryan himself will come out to the property and he was very clear and concise on his explanations on all of my questions. He is very knowledgeable and even spent quite a bit of time explaining the Ash bore issue.

Last weekend I discovered a split in a huge weeping willow tree in my yard. On Monday I called 4 tree surgeons, all from angies list with great ratings. As of Thursday night, only two people showed up to give me quotes on dealing with this tree. I was about to hire Ryan's Tree Care when that part of the tree split from the rest of the tree and crashed onto the ground and my neighbor's deck and fence. I called Ryan last night, he called me back this morning, and was here within 20 minutes. His crew of 4 strong guys had the entire job cleaned up within 2 hours. They were very nice to deal with and the owner Ryan Cox was super all the way around. I will hire him for all tree services in the future. His price for the original job (before it became an emergency) was about half of another quote I received. They cleaned up all the branches and leaves perfectly. And hauled away everything.

Ryan came out promptly and gave the best estimate of 3 that we'd gotten. It took a couple of weeks before they were able to get the work done, but Ryan was good about communicating as things moved along. They removed the trees one day, then ground the stumps the next day. Everything was done just as we'd planned it, we were very happy with their work.

Ryan's Tree Service was absolutely fantastic. When Ryan Cox (owner) came out to estimate the job, he not only explained exactly what they would do, but why. Ryan is so knowledgeable about trees and their health he provided so much extra information and answered all of my "dumb questions". He was such a nice guy. We had 5 companies total bid the exact same work, and the bid from Ryan?s Tree Service came in the lowest, and when comparing all estimates, it was the most fair. It was ridiculous what some companies wanted to charge! The tree removal scheduling was a little odd since we were scheduling around the demo of our 1 car garage & construction of a new 2 car. We also had 2 weeks of pouring rain, then a weekend of sauna heat. (Gotta love spring in MN!) When it was scheduled, they showed up exactly when they said they would. Ryan's brother Eric actually came out with their crew and they took the tree down quickly. As soon as limbs or branches came down, they immediately picked it up. The entire crew was so efficient and respectful. Except for some light sawdust in our yard around the stump (which is totally to be expected when you remove a tree!!) they left our yard with no sign they had been there except the tree was now gone. Also ? they knocked money off our total bill and allowed us to keep some of the wood. Ryan also offered to leave the stump grindings for us to use along our fence for the dog & in the gardens. My husband and I were going to have to buy the exact same mulch & dirt at Home Depot, so his thoughtfulness saved us all that extra money & thought! I am so impressed with their knowledge, experience, professionalism & great customer service. I would absolutely recommend Ryan?s Tree Service to anyone!

I found Ryan's Tree Care on Angies List and used them for trimming and tree removal in March they did just a great job. So I called back when I had some other trees I needed removed. This company is just so great. I would never use another tree company. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Ryan's Tree Care prices are more than fair so no need to waste time getting multiple bids. They come fully prepared with all of the chipping, climbing and cutting equipment. Their clean up is perfect. Very professional and you can trust they know what they are doing.

Wow! What a great company to hire. They were professional and came with all the right equipment. If you need work done and don't have time or patience to get a bunch of bids. You can feel confident that Ryans will give you a fair price and get the job done right.

It went very well! They were very pleasant. They cleaned up after themselves, and arrived within the given window of time. Ryan, the owner, said he would be on site. However, his brother was at the job instead, who was very nice to work with as well.

I have used them twice and they have done amazing work. They had to take down an enormous tree over a septic system, which was a very tricky job. Their team was very thorough. They provided me with an amazing price. I would rate them highly and would use them in the future, if necessary.
