From certified crane operators, experienced climbers, and groundsmen to arborist specialists and experienced estimators, our crews are well-rounded, trained, and knowledgeable in the tree care industry. When our crews aren’t working, they enjoy spending time with their families, playing soccer, taking trips to the lake and beach, and grilling out. Our team members like each other so much that they even spend time with each other and their families outside of work. The camaraderie our crews share is exhibited in their daily jobs as our team members work together like a well-oiled machine, take pride in their work, and treat your property like it is their own.

“From start to finish, this team was # Safe, Professional, Respectful, took pride in what they were doing and the manner in which did it, They even went so far as to walk my yard removing anything that was on the ground and related to a pine tree. My Yard (Front and back), Driveway, and the street were left in better conditions than what they were in before the work started.”

Tree Service Horror Story

“In mid-May, I made the mistake of trying to go cheap for a tree removal project. The company accidentally knocked down two full-grown trees (uprooting one completely) and sheared the tops off three more trees. It was a disaster, and I had been fighting for two weeks to have repairs/reimbursements. On the day of the incident, I had to fire them before they completed the rest of the project. My yard looked like a tornado had come through. I called A+ Tree and Crane (who I have used in the past and did a great job) to help me. They came by quickly to give me an estimate. They had a clear idea of how to fix the uprooted tree and explained it to me so that I could understand and approve the process. I had one other company quote the project, but they seemed unsure about how and whether they could resolve the problem.

The original company who did the damage had no idea how to remedy it. Ultimately, A+ Tree and Crane did the job for me. Their employees worked quickly, safely, and were considerate and communicative. It was a completely different experience from the company that made such a mess, wore no protective hats or glasses, who cussed, smoked cigarettes and dropped their butts in my wooded backyard and spent days in my yard doing very little. Their boss dropped them off at my house and then left them there with non-working equipment and no way to leave. The experience with A+ was not stressful in the least and brought back my peace of mind after they completed the job (which they did in about 8 hours)! They fixed the uprooted stump, filled the hole, smoothed it over, removed the two trees from my yard that should not have come down and also took down three other trees that we needed down. They trimmed the tops of the trees that had been damaged and removed a large dangling branch from atop a tall tree that had been worrying us for a year. I have a very tricky, sloped backyard — they had all the equipment necessary to maneuver around it, to move the large trees, to pulverize and shred the stump, etc. The experience was a clear reminder to make sure that if you have a big tree job, you absolutely must use a professional, reputable company. I’m sorry I strayed, but never again!”

Customer Reviews

“I have nothing but high praise for the A+ Tree & Crane Service crew that came to my house to remove a huge oak tree from my backyard. On the scheduled day, a crew of seven arrived first thing in the morning along with a large crane, a chipping machine, a Bobcat, a grinder, and three large trucks. Everyone had their needed equipment and safety gear. It was clear right from the start that each member of this team knew what their role was and that they perform their duties admirably. I was completely blown away by their awesome teamwork and precision. It was amazing to watch them cut and lift that huge oak tree piece by piece over my house with the crane and reduce it to chips. They cleaned up my yard and the street so well you would never have known they were here. From estimate to finish, everyone was polite, pleasant, friendly, efficient, and professional. Customer service was above and beyond my expectations, and they even saved me $300 on an already fair and reasonable quote. I just can’t express how pleased I am and how amazing these guys are — pure awesome! If anyone is looking for a top-notch company with high standards and work ethic at a reasonable price, this is the tree company you should be calling. A+ Tree & Crane Service is the best of the best!”

“I received an estimate around 7:00 p.m. on a Thursday night. I signed and emailed the contract the next morning and they showed up for work that day at 2:00 p.m. In three hours, the A+ Tree and Crane team removed two large trees; the largest had to be climbed and hand-cut to avoid obstacles in the yard. Six men and four trucks were on the scene and never stopped working until the job was done. It was like watching a well-rehearsed choreographed play. Everyone knew what had to be done, and they worked as a well-oiled machine. When they left, yes, there was evidence work had been done, but the grass was still intact, the double door metal gate the Bobcat had to be driven through over and over was never damaged nor was the house (there was only about 3″ on each side of the Bobcat’s wheel treads to the fence). I’ve had tree service done in the past, but nothing like this. Very impressive!”
