A Tree Service & Landscape

CUT DOWN THE WRONG TREE! I hired Cleve from A Tree Service to cut down two mulberry trees in my yard and do other tree cutting at two other properties I own. I came home to discover that he had messed up and despite him having written down «2 Mulberries» and me emailing him the exact trees I wanted cut down, he cut down 1 mulberry and a beautiful 10″ diameter, 30 ft high ash tree.
Instead Cleve countered with ME paying him $ 1000 for a ½ finished job and then him giving me a sapling to replace a 30 ft tall tree, which was valued at $ 1500 by an tree appraiser. (Who knew they existed?)
After trying to work with them in a variety of ways, including the BBB and the Minnesota’s Attorney’s Office, we took him to conciliation (small) claims court.
Even though the court ruled in my favor, they still refuse to pay. I am now filing a lien against their property.

A Tree Service has trimmed several of my trees for my rental property over the years and they are fabulous to work with! They are friendly to work with and never have to worry about a thing. My trees come back bigger and healthier each year. I have them come out and trim out the dead braches out of my Maple and had them plant two planter trees in my front yard that are thriving! My yard always looks better after they have left than before. I have never had one complaint!

I hated to lose my big maple, but it was time to go. A Tree service was by far the low bidder and got the job done quick and efficiently. What I really appreciated was that they got Excel back to re-​install the power lines that had to come down BEFORE they were completely done with the trunk and grinding the stump. This was important to me as I work from home and was essentially out of commission during the project. Total time start to finish was about 4 hours for a huge 80 – 90 year old maple. Well done.

We just had A Tree Service out to remove 2 trees and trim another. We dealt with Jesse and he was very professional, polite and informative. All the guys that worked on the job were professional and courteous. They cleaned up all the debris and left our yard cleaner then when they arrived. It was a sweltering day but they did not let that impact the service provided. We would definitely use them again and refer them to anyone in need of tree removal or trimming.

What do most home-​owners in the metro do in the instance that a large storm or underground pest takes out a tree in the front yard?
Immediately turn to the phone book as they probably don’t own a chainsaw, or have the proper tools to dispose of an entire tree.
Well I can save you the time AND trouble of trying to find the right tree service, because A-​Tree Service is the full package. Cleve is an absolute pleasure to work with, friendly and funny, but he gets the work done quickly and efficiently which still counts for something in my book!
The tree got taken care of in no-​time and he even helped out with what could have been a huge hole in the lawn where the old rootball came out of. Two years later and you honestly can’t tell that there had even been a tree there, which when it comes to removal is all that matters as far as I am concerned!
While it is important to get quotes from potential contractors, it’s just as important to make sure that they are worth what they are charging, and I had to post a review on here as I don’t think you can go wrong for the money when it comes to them!

I dont believe the address is correct on this listing however the phone number is correct. I received quite possibly the worst customer service from this business. I would not recommend using them, the owner is extremely rude, does not keep details straight and completely unreasonable. They came and did work without my consent after I requested a quote (at no time did I speak to them after receiving the quote and came home to the work being done with out my permission). I never gave permission or go ahead there were details about the quote and project I wished to speak to someone about before the work was to begin. When I tried to speak to the owner about this I was immediately screamed at and threatened before I had a chance to explain my position. His name is Cleave, he threatened both me and my property. At no time did I state I would not pay his response was completely unwarrented and a little scary, I was not even given the opportunity to speak. This was the worst service experience I have ever received from any business in my life and I strongly encourage others to take their business elsewhere.
I have reported this to the better business bureau as well.
