Above and beyond what I expected for a stump removal. I appreciated the time and detail put into such a small project.

Polite, fast, cleaned up. Generally just super helpful with a tree split from the storm. They were next door at neighbors and were willing to take care of mine when done and were extremely reasonable. They'll be my first call when I need it.

We had a big beautiful but completely dead tree removed by Tree Fellers this week and they were great! Fast, friendly, and clearly skilled, they had it down in no time.They trimmed some trees for us this spring, too, and they look great. Would recommend!

Tree Fellers did a fantastic job dealing with damage from a storm and then taking down the rest of the massive tree. I appreciate all their hard work, courtesy and time. I would absolutely recommend their service.

Really experience: I have 1.6 acres with 30+ oak trees, most of them over 150 years old and many sitting very close to my house. I talked to a few tree service companies and the prices were all pretty similar, but the Tree Fellers' estimator stood out right away. He understood my situation, explained everything clearly, and even sent me their insurance policy without me asking.One of the trees they removed was about 10 feet from my house and over 100 feet tall, so this wasn’t an easy job. They gave me an estimated timeframe, they originally said end of May, the crew arrived at the beginning of June. The crew: Dave, Alex, and Jamie. There were all great guys and extremely polite and professional. They cleaned up everything, and they even hauled away an extra fallen tree in my backyard that was around 120 feet long and 3 feet wide, all for a fair price.These guys are the real deal. If you’re looking for a tree service, don’t look any farther.- Tree work: 5⭐- Crew knowledge & professionalism: 5⭐- Scheduling: 4.9⭐Highly recommended.

Made a call, Jack was out the same day to get me a quote on the spot. I had 6 large trees removed from around my house. The process was explained as to what type of equipment would be used and how long it would take. After getting on the list I was called and informed Dave and his crew would be out to start work. I was fairly nervous with trees getting taken down right over my house, but that quickly went away watching how Dave and the crew were doing their work. They made sure to take care with their job and I was surprised how quickly they took down one tree after the next. They cleaned up after themselves and after the job was done I had asked if they would make sure my neighbors yard was cleaned up before they left( work was done close to the property line,) they took the time to ask my neighbor if the clean up was sufficient for them. All in all I would highly suggest Tree Fellers for any tree work needing done. They will be my call for any future work I need done.

They trimmed a large tree for us, did a great job, great clean up and fair prices. This past summer, the tree started dying, now a huge mess of falling branches, bark and no leaves. I wish they would have told me it would kill the tree, I would have had it all removed. This is an amazing company and they reached out regarding this review to talk about my concerns.

I had one tree down and a second hung up on a third, hanging precariously over the street, after the winds last week. After the city decided that the one hanging over the street wasn’t their problem, Tree Fellers came out to assess and had it down within an hour. They got rid of the root ball that the city left for me as well. They left the yard cleaner than it was when the trees were standing. This is why they are always my first call after a storm.

Beth Herman

The Tree Fellers team was entirely professional, fast and thorough in helping us with two large downed trees from a storm. Beyond that our sidewalks and yard are cleaner than before the storm. Highly recommend.

Tree Fellers came out and saved my bacon, after Consumers Energy trimmed my trees and left me with pieces WAY too big and heavy for me to move. The guys were quick and thorough, and their estimate was fair- lower than Juan's Tree service whom I previously hired and never showed up for the job. Will definitely call Tree Fellers again, if I have need!

Jay Sebright

They did a great job from the start to clean up.Thanks again!

Excellent crew from start to finish. They removed three large oak trees that were overhanging my property, and the entire process was handled professionally. Communication was clear and consistent, especially from Harold, who was great to work with as the main point of contact. Their pricing also came in better than three other estimates I received, which made the decision easy.

Fantastic, nothing more need be said. Arrived around 9 cut 2 pines, grind, rake, and took everything away in mere hours. Will have them back for more this summer.

Tree Fellers came out same day as called for a quote. Fair reasonable prices by people who just want you to live your best tree life! Discussed all options with me and came back within a week to have the job done. Crew was communicative, prompt, responsible, and cleaned up after themselves. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend. Other “local” companies were going to charge almost double for the work, not these fellers. THANK YOU!

Last year I had a large old tree get uprooted in a very tight to access area. They scoped it out, helped with a plan that would need the least amount of fence removal & lawn damage, & took care of the entire thing in a very quick manner. Tree root ball & all! The most appreciative part was how thorough they cleaned up afterwards. Especially in my neighbors driveway they needed to borrow access to.Very kind & professional!

Tree Fellers are amazing! We had eight massive trees surrounding our house, and they removed them without any issues. They are skilled, competent, and their prices are hard to beat. Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, I highly doubt you will find a better tree service. I highly recommend them. Plus, the name is super catchy!

Super impressed with Tree Fellers. They did a great job with some tree work I needed done. Very professional, thorough, friendly, and fairly priced. I will definitely be using them again for future tree service.

Tree Fellers removed several trees and stumps. They were able to get the job done well shortly after providing an estimate.

This is the third or fourth time we’ve used TreeFellers, and they are my go-to for any tree needs. The owner, Jack, is so easy to work with, offers fair prices, and is an all-around good human. Our crew today (Alex, Eric, and a third gentleman) were extremely professional, polite, and tidy. (I think they cleaned up better than I would have!) Highly recommend!!

Jay Patrick

Tree Fellows was very accommodating and communicated great with me regarding date for the tree trimming. All 3 guys were great that came out. Eric, the tree climber, did a great job especially since he is relatively new to the position. They cleaned up after their job meticulously and even helped with blowing some leaves to the street. I would highly recommend them.

I reached out to Tree Fellers when my usual tree service stopped providing good customer service/pricing. I had an unexpected/last minute need for tree removal and holes dug to transplant fruit trees from my greenhouse before Michigan winter hit us for real. Jack/Isiah and their team helped me coordinate this project for a much better price and responded promptly/professionally to my questions and need for adjustments to the work. The crew was polite and respectful, and dig a great job in some nasty weather! I highly recommend this company, especially if you need something random done in conjunction with tree service like I did. They saved me thousands of dollars that I would have had to spend with a different landscaping company to get my fruit trees moved.

Tree Fellers did a very professional estimate and limb removals of a tree that fell into our neighbor’s yard. They even cut up some of the limb so we could use it for our fireplace. Nice work!

a huge pine tree fell during a recent wind storm. called tree fellers and within a couple of days had Isiah come and give me a quote and within a couple of days the tree was cleaned up. They have a very hard working crew and would hire them again in a flash. did an excellent job in cleaning up and very thorough.

Saw Tree Fellers doing some storm cleanup in the neighborhood and they had the equipment to take down a tree that I had growing over my garage that had destroyed the gutter and was threatening the roof. I gave them a call and they got me on the schedule. There was a lot of storm damage in the area, so it took a few weeks to get to me, but when they showed up they were clean and efficient. They even cut up some of the trunk into smaller lengths so I could split them for firewood and cleaned up everything else. Highly recommended.

Tree Fellers is an amazing company. We had multiple trees fall due to storm damage. They were at our house within 24 hrs to give us a quote. Trees were removed quickly after. They are fast, professional, and affordable! Highly recommend them.

John Schonder

Jack spent a good 45 minutes with me on my property surveying the storm damage, taking photos and videos, and talking me through the damage, the remediation process and educating me on what to expect with an insurance claim. So VERY thorough! Gave a VERY competitive price too! Excellent customer service. Jack is THE REAL DEAL!

Christine Griffith

We received expert work and great service from this company. They are our "go to" people for this type of work in the Kalamazoo area. Their very polite and knowledgeable workers do the job right and totally clean up everything when done! We highly recommend them to all our friends.

I have used Tree Fellers on two separate occasions now. They are fast to respond, reasonably priced, and have always gone above and beyond in the quality of the work they do, PLUS they always seem to do "bonus" tasks, cleaning extra debris and other random acts of customer service. Most recently they realized a broken limb was resting on my roof so made sure to move me to priority scheduling. Easy to work with, great quality!

Pastor Leon Coleman III

The price and the work is unparalleled. The hey did the job in a few hrs and worked on a Saturday to ensure it was completed. While on the job they took down a few more trees at not cost to make sure the job looked nice and complete. I will have them back again

Harold and crew took down a large maple tree today, in my back yard. They were very professional, and were very careful in their work. We enjoyed watching the process, and were impressed with their skills! There were no problems encountered during the removal, all went well! They were very accommodating, even removing a limb on another tree that was not included in the original work request! And the cut the wood to a length I requested, as I kept most of the wood. A friendly group of highly skilled guys who did a great job on cleaning up the yard after all the cutting. Money well spent, thank you for a great job!

Clayton and his team did a beautiful job removing multiple large branches and trees in my yard, as well as clearing away downed branches and several brush piles. Some of the situations required very skilled handling and creative solutions. Clayton clearly really knows what he's doing and is very good at it. He and his team worked hard. They were competent, efficient, thorough, respectful, and considerate. To protect sensitive areas, they had to haul everything out by hand, which they did without complaint. If you're debating, don't hesitate to work with them. I would definitely work with them again.

Fallon Kammeraad

We had a wonderful experience with Tree Fellers. They trimmed two large white pines and a spruce and removed another tree for us. Very affordable and didn’t leave a mess. We will for sure use them again.

During the recent storms with strong winds, a large tree uprooted. My insurance agent warned me about price gouging and I think I did witness that, based on some of the quotes I received. Tree Fellers did not price gouge. Their price was significantly less than the other quotes I received. They removed the tree, filled in the hole and cleaned up. Very happy with their service and recommend them 100%.
