We had a dying a 60ft cottonwood removed safely from the back of our yard. The gentlemen were quick to respond to our phone call and booking us a time just 2 days later. They were on time, prepared and efficient (1.5 hrs, including the friendly cleanup). We couldn't be happier with their service. They also followed up with a phone call to ensure we were happy the next day! A++ business! Keep up the great work and service!

We have had work done by this team twice now and have been very satisfied with their work. They are careful about surrounding structures/gardens and clean the yard up so nice! Very reliable and blows other quotes out of the water. Thank you!

Highly recommend Greg and his crew! Amazing work!! They arrived on time, quickly and efficiently completed my entire yard and removed all the debris. I moved into my house this spring and quickly realized my backyard was a Jungle! Greg was the first tree servicer to answer the phone, first one to make it to my house and after 5+ estimates his company was by FAR the most affordable option! Greg and his crew carefully removed multiple spruce trees, an elm, a mulberry tree, trimmed down my shrubbery jungle and removed some pretty dangerous dead wood from 3 very large cottonwood trees on my property in record time. Clean up was completed beautifully! I am still in awe of the transformation!

Greg and team did an excellent job taking down two large trees and grinding several stumps. He was very responsive, which is very important to us. Afterwards, the yard and clean up work was extremely impressive. I will definitely use them again and absolutely recommend American Family Tree Service!
