Excellent service and crew! I had a large tree deadwooded, trimmed, and treated. The crew went the extra mile and not only throughly cleaned up, but left my yard looking better than they found it.

I was worried about a low-hanging branch over my roof, so last winter I contacted Craig’s Tree Service LLC. All in all, they trimmed a couple of my trees, ground-down a large stump in my yard, and hauled away a large brush pile of fallen limbs from that year. With the ice storms we had that winter as well as the several windy thunderstorms this summer, I’m glad that I had those trees trimmed. Not to mention that my brush pile is smaller this year thanks to the preventative trimming. Plus, mowing has been significantly easier now that I don’t have to navigate around a large stump.Craig’s team was very professional - they placed a metal track along the lawn for their arborist lift so as to disturb the lawn as little as possible and to keep the lift from getting stuck in the dirt due to its weight. With the trimming, care was taken so nothing and no one got hurt when branches fell to the ground. Plus, they offered to mulch around one of my trees with the mulch made from the stump-grinding. I was most impressed, however, when I got a call from Craig that I had accidentally written too much on the check so he was going to stop by the next day to return it to me. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience with Craig’s Tree Service LLC.

I called on Craig to trim my pompous grass back for the season. My husband has recently became disabled and couldn’t do it this year. Craig responded back to my message the same day and was at my house to do the job a few days later!! Craig and his crew did a great job!! Everything was cleaned up when they we’re finished. I couldn’t tell they was here except for my Pompous grass looked better! Job well done!! Honest man with a good honest business!!! Definitely would recommend them!!!

We had two large trees removed from our back yard. Craig’s Tree Service used a crane! Not only are they professional from the beginning to the end they are kind, on time and it was very entertaining! I will always recommend this crew.

Craig and his staff came out to take down a very tall, forked ash tree and grind 4 stumps. The guys were all very professional, friendly, efficient, and competent. The quality of their work was exemplary. My wife and I were very pleased with the result. We highly recommend Craig and his team, and will certainly call them for any future work.

Great service. Two my Arborvitae were showing areas of possible disease. My landscaper didn’t really know what the problem was and recommended Craig. He came out the same day, addressed the issue and provided helpful feedback. Definitely recommend.

Crag shower on time, he listened to what I wanted. He made suggestions., promptly sent me a bid. On the day of the work he was on time and introduce me to his crew, we walked through the job. His crew did more than required and did so in a professional manner., asked me several times to review their work. They left the job site cleaner than they found it. I could not be more pleased with the job, well done.

Craig’s Tree Service was great to work with from the bid to the final cleanup of the job. They performed a nice job as I requested and cut and stacked the wood into firepit size. They protected the yard from the boom truck as well. I would choose this company again.

Very pleasant experience with Craig’s Tree Service. His team were all very professional. He has 2 certified arborists that identified properly what needed to be done. The whole experience was a YES! His guys even took the time to pick up every little twig after removal. They cleaned up so tidy so it looked as if their big trucks weren’t even there! Thank you to Craig and his team!

We called Craig because our previous tree guy retired......His team came out and flawlessly removed a huge catalpa tree that was just a few feet from our house.....After the tree was removed they ground the stump and removed all the trash....Couldn't even tell that it was ever there.....So when we needed about 30 stumps on our property ground we called again, and once more his professional and knowledgeable crew came out and all the stumps were gone in about 3 hours.....Price was reasonable and work was exceptional....(We've got a new tree guy)

Called Craig about a problem tree to see if he could help. When he came out, I was impressed with his knowledge and patience with all my questions. A tree I thought for 9 years was an oak turned out to be a maple. He taught me many things I didn't know. We have hired his company to come out and fix a few problems. Just wanted to do a first review because of his promptness, passion for his work, and helpfulness. Next review will be after our trees are on the way to better health.

Craig & his crew were professional & efficient. We have a large, old oak tree very near our house & some limbs hang over the roof. I appreciated Craig’s knowledge & his apparent concern for his workers safety. After he & his crew left, besides the missing limbs, you couldn’t tell they had been there - they cleaned up so well. I will definitely call him again when needed in the future.

Craig went out of his way to take a look at our tree on a Saturday. His crew showed up and dropped our hollow tree in a difficult location quickly, easily, and professionally. We would totally recommend them and will be our first choice for tree service from now on. Thanks again!

Craig and his crew removed 3 trees and trimmed limbs from several others. They were very professional, friendly, and efficient. Cleanup was first rate as well! I would hire them again in a heartbeat! You will not go wrong with their services!

Craig’s Tree Service removed a black walnut tree and trimmed a large oak in our backyard. The horizontal branches of the oak had gotten much too heavy overtime and were overhanging our fence, the walnut was dying. Craig and his guys were prompt, careful and efficient, cleanup was perfect. I also got great advice about the health of two additional trees and threats of storm damage are gone. Many thanks to a very personable and professional crew!

This is undoubtedly the best tree service company we've ever used. Craig is extremely professional and knowledgeable about trees, what their needs are, and how to best care for them. And he has assembled a strong team. We recently moved to a new property and we had a large dead oak tree that needed removal and several trees that needed good structural pruning. Their estimate was very reasonable, and they did excellent work and left zero mess of any kind. We have more tree work to do on our property, and Craig and his team will get the work without a doubt. It's really nice to have work done by people who know and actually care about what they do. They are extremely busy so it may take a few weeks for them to get to you. But do yourself a favor and wait - you won't be disappointed. There's a reason they're so busy!

I had Craig's Tree Service trim a large pin oak tree in my back yard that was long overdue. They did an EXCELLENT job! Craig is a professional and is not a tree butcher, you won't end up with an ugly tree that's been trimmed in a way to make it vulnerable to rot and disease. They took great care to ensure my grass was not damaged by equipment and did an excellent job with cleanup. Highly recommend!

I would like to recommend Craig's Tree Service. I had them remove three trees-two were mature Sweet Gum trees in a tight place. Craig and his crew were professional and dependable. They worked carefully and efficiently. Clean-up was excellent. They cleaned up my yard, the neighbors' yards and all of those sweet gum balls. They even cleaned the roof of the house. The yard looks wonderful with no damage and no debris. Can't tell that there were trees there. A good company, easy to work with and knowledgeable. I wouldn't hesitate to use Craig's Tree Service again.

Decided to go with Craig's Tree Service for removing 5 trees on our property. I found his website and left him a message to which he responded that evening. Craig and his crew showed up on time and he checked with me first to discuss the details as we walked the area where the trees stood. Watching these men work was like looking at the workings of a Swiss watch. The process was most interesting as he roped sections of the trunks off to be lowered to the ground instead of pushing it off to hit the ground. Everything they did was with safety in mind and attention to our garden below that nothing was damaged. Clean up was complete and we were very happy with the results. I would recommend you give him a call. He listens very carefully and gives thought to his responses. He gives professional, friendly, and personal service and in the future if I need any other work done Craig's Tree Service is on my speed dial.

Last Monday we had Craig’s Tree Service out to take care of 36 trees in our yard. Boy did they have their hands full. Not only did they had trim our Pear trees that had come down with a disease but limbed up, trimmed up and aired out all of our mature trees that had been neglected for some time.It took 2 days to complete the job and at every day’s end you would not have know that there had been that much “cutting” going on. Not only was Craig and their crew on time every morning but Craig took his time to address each tree and hopefully solve their problems. Craig’s crew were polite, neat and extremely efficient.From this point on Craig’s Tree Service will be our “GO TO “ service company to treat and preserve our tree investment.Thank you guys for a great job!

We highly recommend Craig’s tree service. Wind storm damaged a large lakefront tree on our property. Craig came out, inspected the tree and explained how and why the tree could be saved. They were able to selectively trim and prune the tree which allowed us to preserve our beautiful shade tree! Communication was excellent, they were prompt and removed all debris, etc.

The wife and I chose Craig's tree service after receiving several bids from other companies. Our decisions were based on the competitive price and being local to our area. They pruned one of our trees and completely removed two others the stumps were also removed. Craig's crew done a top notch job and remove all the debris from our yard. I would highly recommend their service and if ever needed they would be the company we will use.

We are super happy with the job Craig and his team did for us! We had some pretty massive trees that were close to our house, pavilion and shed so accuracy was imperative! When the job was done and the crew was gone so was all the debris....not even a twig to pick up! You won’t find another tree service around with more knowledge and professionalism than Craig’s Tree Service LLC!!

Far and away the best tree service company I’ve ever contracted. Craig is extremely knowledgeable about trees, their needs and how to best care for them in the most effective and cost-manageable ways. He is an arborist who genuinely loves trees and his work, and he takes pride in the quality of his crews’ work. Kenny, Kyle and Peter took down a large, dangerous dead maple in a stand of trees with surgical precision as well as a heavy leaner mulberry. They took the time to put a mat under their bucket truck to catch any hydraulic leaks and left zero mess of any kind. They put thought into everything they do, seriously. The yard is cleaner now than it was before! Their equipment is top notch and very well maintained, just another testament to the pride they each take in their work. Very nice guys who know more about trees and cutting than I’ll ever know! Awesome business, awesome work, awesome guys. If you contact them and they say it’ll be 7-8 weeks — do yourself a favor and wait. Your patience will be rewarded. There’s a reason they’re so busy!!!

I volunteer at a church camp and we built an extensive high challenge course in the woods that ends with a long zip line.We’ve had Craig’s Tree Service out twice over the years. Our problem both times was dead trees that were very close and could fall on our course. These were 50 to 60 foot tall oak trees and we were afraid to cut the down ourselves because of their proximity to the course.Each time they were able to safely cut out the top branches, lower them and then cut the main part of the tree to make it fall away from the course. Craig’s Tree Service has saved us thousands of dollars in repairs to our challenge Course.I have two videos and if I can figure out how to add them to this review I will.

Most people dont think about their trees until they become a problem. Arborists think about your trees as they drive past them on the road. Craig has not just one, but 2 certified arborist on staff and you can be assured they will recommend only the best treatmemt for your trees and your property! I was lucky enough to won a Stihl 171 MS chainsaw from Craig thru a Facebook promotion help spread he word about his new webseries about tree health that I am super excited to watch!

Over the years we've had two previous tree trimmers at our home that wanted to trim what we call our family white oak. I wasn't satisfied with allowing them to trim this tree after reviewing their suggested methods. As time lapsed from photo to photo 2004 to 2020, we noticed some decline in leaf development and more dead wood appearing. A family member had received high praise about Craig's Company and provided his contact information. With this tree being 200+ years of age we weren't going to allow just anyone to start trimming on it. Into our lives comes Craig, first off he indicated this was the largest white oak he'd ever see and showed genuine concern is maintaining it's health. After our initial meeting he brought in a resident expert from St Louis and we had a conference meeting at our home and laid out a health improvement game plan along with suggested dead wood removal which was performed this New Years Day, see the second photo. Craig and his crew arrived ready to work, laid out a working game plan and started with his boom truck working on the white oak, while himself and another worker climbed into two of the 9 pin oaks we had crown reduction and deadwood removal. All services were performed in a professional manner with explanations when I asked questions, his workers were courteous showed respect for my property and everyone did awesome work and clean up. This has truly been the best experience we've ever had with a tree trimming company and Craig has much more to bring to the table with this wealth of knowledge and years of experience.Thank you Craig and Crew for a stellar job, look forward to seeing you at leaf bud for the fertilizer program for the white oak, all the best...Bob and Gloria

This company is outstanding!! The work was performed exactly as quoted. This was a very tough / tight tree take down and Craig and staff did an incredible job. He is teaching professional while on the job with his employees. A lot of filming was done presumably to teach or put on YouTube. Don’t look any further, this is the company to get it done correctly!

We lost a large part of a wonderful elm tree - Craig came out the same day to give an estimate. His crew arrived at 6.30 am as promised and between the chipper and the chain saw it was done in an hour. The clean up was beyond my expectations - the patio has never looked better! Craig will be coming back to remove the whole tree as it is dying - after the work he did earlier, I didn't bother to get other quotes on this. I would very highly recommend the business.
