Tree reviews in Des Moines, Iowa

Great price and did an amazing job making my overgrown yard look brand new!

Matt did not tell me when he was coming each time he was not very responsive and lawn was not trimmed.
Wish we were treated more respectfully.

They did a great job removing my 70 year old tree. Last July 2024. And removed stump. Problem is The huge hump is still there. Not going down at all. Have called them many times this summer, gal in office said she would send someone out, and he would call me. There after customer service is horrible! Noone has called me for 3 months now. Pretty pathetic!!

I have used John's tree service several times for tree removal on my residential and rental properties. I trust them and anymore they are the only people I call when I need tree work done. I also recommend them to anybody else that needs tree work done or firewood. They do good work and at a fair price. They stick to their quotes so I know upfront what the costs will be. They also have great quality firewood, friendly workers there, and I enjoy coming down to the lot on Saturday mornings to throw some wood in the truck for the fireplace. Great prices on the firewood and it's usually very dry and ready to burn. I have had wetter oak before but was warned about it before I bought it. So again, honest and trustworthy people.

I hired John's tree service to take down a large tree in my front yard. The crew were friendly and professional their price was in line with other estimates I had gotten. They cleaned everything up quite nicely. I would without hesitation hire them again.

Hands down the best in Des Moines! From the initial request for an estimate to the job completed - flawless service. Great communication. Had a very large silver maple tree removed and a dead ash tree removed and stump ground. Scheduled for 2 day job and they were completely done on the 2nd day by 10:00 am. Clean up was amazing - can't even tell they were there. On time, very efficient and great price. Highly recommend. Josh and the crew were great to work with.

John’s Tree Service did a great job for us.. I appreciated the communication that I received with the office, when they were not going to be on time, due to finishing up another job. Not a problem. It was only delayed a couple hours and the cleanup was great. Keep in mind, they’re busy. If you get a quote and don’t hear anything for a couple weeks, just give them a call and they will get you in..

Cant say enough good about these guys. I had 2 really large trees removed. They both needed a crane to do the work. One was a dead oak tree overhanging my house in my landscaped backyard. They gave me a good solid estimate and when they would be able to do the work. confirmed when they would be coming. Gratefully changed that time due to rain because they didn't want to tear up my yard. Did the work and cleaned up the yard so well it was hard to tell they were there. These are the guys to use for those big difficult trees. I really enjoyed watching the whole process. These guys are Pros! Next phase chainsaw carving!

Josh and his crew were awesome. It was such a smooth process. Josh came out and quoted us in the early AM and 2.5 hours later his crew was there and working. They were quick and efficient and did a nice job with cleanup. Would highly recommend!

Hands down the best tree service. We had a large maple tree removed right next to a power pole, transformer, power lines etc. Complex to say the least. They did an amazing job. Safe, professional, quick and cleaned it up so well, my yard was left cleaner after, then it was when they arrived. They were also competitive on their price, communication was excellent and the crew was very professional to deal with. Can't say enough good things!

Brian and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with. They worked carefully to remove a large dead ash tree from our front yard and cleaned up all debri.
They were professional and knowledgeable. Competitive pricing as well!

Brian was responsive, professional and efficient. He was good with communication and showed up when he said he would be here. He made sure we were satisfied before he took payment. We will absolutely use this service again!

One of our trees fell across our driveway with a recent storm & I found The Tree Service LLC on the Better Business Bureau website. Brian responded quickly and he and his team came to our house to give us an estimate that morning before any other company had even responded to us. We thought it was a fair quote and we had him and his team remove the felled tree as well as the rest of the standing part of the tree. In addition he came back a couple days later to grind the stump. The team was courteous, efficient and cleaned up before they left. I would definitely use this business again for tree removal & stump grinding in the future.

We had 2 large dead trees that we needed removed. Both trees were in tricky spots: one hanging over our house and the other right next to power lines. We requested quotes from multiple companies and Brian was the first to respond. He came over promptly to give us a quote and was very knowledgeable about the trees. Some of the other companies we met with did not seem near as knowledgeable and had higher prices. My only complaint is that we were not notified when the work would be happening. My fiancé and I came home from work one day and the trees were gone. They did a great job of cleaning up. We never would have known they had been there if it wasn't for the 2 patches of woodchips where the trees used to be.

However, the real reason I'm giving The Tree Service 5 stars is Brian's flexibility with payment when we had a family emergency come up. My fiancé's cousin unexpectedly committed suicide and we drove out to Omaha that night to be with his family. When Brian texted the following day to ask about coming to collect the final payment, we told him what had happened and that we wouldn't be home for a week as the funeral wasn't for a couple of days. We offered to drive back the next day to pay him, but he was very understanding and allowed us to wait until we were back from the funeral. There are not many companies I know of that would wait a week after services are rendered to be paid in full and I will forever be grateful to Brian for working with us in that difficult time. I highly recommend The Tree Service.

Brian and his crew did a phenomenal job today. Big tree tight yard and they just attacked it. I shopped around with multiple bids. They were more than fair.

Great experience all around. Quick response, easy scheduling, fair price, and they tackled a tough tree removal in a tight space without any issues. Highly recommend.

Hired them to take down a 50 foot tree in the very back of my yard. They did an EXCELLENT job. Professional. Even offered to bring back lunch for me.

A week later, another neighbor had 2 trees pruned....that's when I realized how wonderful The Tree Service was. Couldn't believe the difference in professionalism & and quick work.

Great company. I highly recommend them.

After getting settled in our new home we knew that the big trees here likely needed a good trimming, and I am so glad I found Brian! He was prompt in responding, quick getting out here to survey everything and get us a quote, and within a week the team was here, taking care of trimming six trees, removing a tree, and grinding a leftover stump all within the course of a day. The team was efficient, cleaned everything up, and we already knew exactly what to expect thanks for Brian's thorough walk through. Not only would I highly recommend Brian and team, but going forward we'll exclusively use The Tree Service for all our tree needs!

The removal of the tree was perfect with ZERO issues or damage to the surrounding area! It was such a refreshing change to work with a company that delivers on its promises in such a professional manner. Thank you to the Des Moines Tree Service team for a job well done!

Highly recommend this company! They were on time, professional, and did an amazing job removing a tree near our house. The cleanup was great, and the price was reasonable.

This is my second experience with Des Moines Tree Service, and once again, I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team displayed nothing but professionalism, skill, and care. They carefully assessed the situation, ensuring that every step was executed safely and efficiently. I was especially impressed with their attention to detail in every aspect of the job. They made sure to take every precaution and ensured that no damage was done to the surrounding area.
