Minneapolis Tree Services

" was both the fastest responder when I asked for an estimate and was one of the best bids received. Seamus was friendly and easy to work with. was able to complete the job within a few days of the agreement. The quality of the work was great."

"This tree was already quite large when I moved in 30 years ago, but at that time it was more of an asset than a liability - it looked nice. 15 years ago I started to have concerns about how large it was getting: lots of unwanted shade, dead branches dropping during high winds and just becoming too large for a small urban lot. I started asking friends ...more and colleagues for recommendations and even a few "drive by" tree services. I came away with the impression that it wasn't a desirable job - nobody really wanted to do it. 5 years ago I received a quote of $8300 to remove the tree that called for using a 190ft crane and hauling the wood over my neighbors house - I don't think so. Last year, after recalling radio ads for

I gave them a call and received a prompt reply from one of their arborists,

. He came out and examined the tree and assured my that it was in good health and maybe all I needed to do was have it cleaned up; remove the dead wood, open up the canopy, etc (approx $1,000). Since this was April I decided to give it a go - too late in the spring for removal without damaging the landscape. A few days later,

and his crew came in and with 2 guys climbing around in the canopy with chain saws they trimmed it up in about 4 hours. I was impressed with the results: more sunlight for my garden, the dead wood was gone and the tree did indeed "sail" in the wind - nothing of note came down during a couple of wind storms. As the summer wore on I noticed new growth appearing and decided I didn't want to fight with this tree any longer so I contacted

again in February to discuss removal. Again, I received a prompt reply. He came out and told me how they would do the job, how long it would take (2 days) and to contact him with any questions I had. We finally agreed on Mar 8-9 to do the job and his crew showed up right on time.

also came to introduce me to the crew and they told me what the plan was and when asked said they would set aside the wood I wished to keep. I let them get to work and it wasn't long before

, the man in the bucket, was sending down the first branches for the chipper. Even with the cramped quarters - the tree was between 2 outbuildings less than 40 foot apart and utility lines about half that distance away - he made the task of taking this thing apart look easy - oh yes, I forgot to mention it was 70 feet tall. By the end of the first day he was cutting down "pieces" that looked to be over 2 feet in diameter and the

was still about 30 feet tall. I missed seeing the final day's work but I'm told

needed to use a saw with a 70+ inch bar. That there is a bar of that size for a one man saw is impressive but to think they is a guy who can run it is amazing. As promised the job was finished in 2 days and I couldn't be more pleased. My thanks to all at

for a job well done and I hope

got a couple of days off to rest, you earned it my friend."
