Tree reviews in Grand Rapids, Michigan

We’ve had two trees completely removed and a huge limb of a giant oak removed as well. The service was excellent and quick. They did a great job on cleanup as well. Highly recommended!

Matt and the team are super professional, kind and hard working. They did a great job removing and pruning the mature oak trees in my subdivision back yard. They easily navigated tight spaces, fences, and homes. I highly recommend them for the quality of work, price and professionalism.

I had a declining maple on my property line in a really tough spot. MV Tree gave me a clear game plan before they arrived and they delivered on it beautifully from start to finish. The weather was changing so the crew used extra care to put down plywood and mats to protect mine and my neighbors yards. They showed up on time, worked efficiently and respectfully, cleaned up amazing and I could not be happier! Price was not my motivating factor because I needed it done right, but it was competitive and very fair! Highly recommend!

Really happy with Mv Tree staff Gussy who always kept me informed on when the work would be done and was on top regarding rescheduling several times due to bad weather. And then there is Matt the owner who was wonderful to work with. Very professional, explained everything and was very patient. His crew did a fabulous job on tree removal and then cleaning up after that. Would highly recommend

Matt and crew did a great job trimming trees back from house and garage rooftops in my urban yard. They also cleaned up other trees and large shrubs that needed attention. They were on time and efficient, easy to communicate with, cleaned up after the work, and the price was very reasonable. I’ll definitely call them for my next job and recommend that you do too!

Matt and his crew were out yesterday to remove two large (annoying) cottonwoods that were in close proximity to our detached garage and our neighbors new fence by crane. They were methodical and precise in the removal and cleaned up the mess and debris before they were done. It was amazing to watch them. We’ve had other tree removal services, but they wouldn’t touch these because they didn’t have access to a crane. A little perk to the services, Matt is an arborist and was able to answer some of our questions regarding the health of other trees on our property.

Matt responded to my Grand Rapids Informed Facebook plea for assistance about a neighborhood cat stuck high in a tree. He rescued her free of charge on a Saturday. This is the kind of person I would want to give my business to for sure.

We are grateful for MV Tree Service! They did extensive trimming of large and small trees on our property. The prices were reasonable; the service was knowledgeable, efficient, and generous---they cut down a few small trees gratis! The cleanup was perfect. And they were able to recommend an arborist to help with trees that needed intervention. We highly recommend MV Tree!

After extensive interviews, I recently chose MV Tree in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to perform major tree trimming on my 5-acre property.  I could not have been more satisfied!

As a construction professional, I look for six key indicators of a Quality Tree Service:  1) verified insurance and licensing; 2) certified professionals; 3) a solid reputation with previous clients and customers; 4) workers who exhibit professionalism and safety; 5) a detailed written estimate of what is to be performed with the exact cost; and 6) solid references.

MV Tree hits all these key indicators like no other.

The owner, Matt Velderman, met with me to ascertain what I wanted done and made some knowledgeable recommendations on items I had not thought of.  He is an authentic, sincere owner/operator who takes great pride in his service and the people he hires.  He personally supervised the entire two-day project with employees who exhibited professionalism and safety handling chain saws, woodchippers and bobcat excavators.  They left my property clean, neat, and undamaged, looking better, in fact, than when they arrived.

Be very careful when contracting for tree service.  Many fly-by-night operators with a rusty pickup truck and a chainsaw will quote either a price outrageously high or unrealistically low.  You will most assuredly not be happy with either of these types of businesses.

However, Matt’s bid hit squarely in the Goldilocks zone:  not too high and not too low but just right for a job well done.  I recommend MV Tree without reservation.

Excellent service very professional

Great service. Fair price.

Matt and his crew very quick to arrive and clean up!

I called for a tree removal quote. We scheduled to have him come to my home the very NEXT DAY at 6:30pm. He never showed and never called.

I called the places closest to me and they were the first ones to answer the phone. They arrived promptly, did fast clean work, friendly guys. I was very pleased with the service. And gave me such a good price I felt I had to tip them.

I hired Western Michigan Tree Service and its owner Warren to trim a tree in my backyard, primarily because he was the only company that could show up in a reasonable time. Now I understand why he wasn't busy. That was a simple job that he completed, however he wasn't great to deal with, resisting trimming branches away from the trunk because he didn't bring a ladder. What tree service doesn't bring a ladder?

While he was there he quoted us a price for putting a new lawn in our backyard. The yard is very shady and hadn't been maintained when the house was empty so there was a lot of bare dirt. After getting other quotes his price was about half of what other companies quoted. Again I should have learned from his attitude not he tree trimming job. He did not sufficiently prepare the soil. He didn't bring enough dirt to fill a depression from a garden bed that was in the yard from the previous owners, even though he was specifically told before the job that that was a priority. Basically he did a shoddy job on the cheap providing a terrible value despite the low price. In the most bare places grass sprouted but wouldn't take despite plenty of watering.

Finally when asked way grass that we planted in a different part of the yard with some leftover seed he left was doing well he became indignant and confrontational. He blew cigarette smoke in my wife's face and attempted to act in an intimidating manner. The height of unprofessional behavior. To top it off he the ran to his care and, literally, peeled out of our driving in his car. To anyone thinking of hiring this company because of a low quote stay away. No amount of money would make it worth dealing with the owner.

Warren did an excellent job removing a medium size, dead tree in my front yard in West Grand Rapids recently. When he was finished, there were no signs of the tree (no bark, twigs, leaves, or wood chips), the stump had been ground below the yard surface, top soil had been added to level the ground, new grass seed sown, and straw placed on top to prevent the birds from eating the grass seed. I could not have asked for a better job! I highly recommend Western Michigan Tree Removal for tree removal needs.

Warren had done work for me several times over the years. Recently he removed trees and did trimming and stumping grinding - quite the project! He did another great job and is fair and honest. I recommend him to anyone needing help with their trees.

Put down a giant trees excellent communication skills and clean up was the best

They did a good job taking down 5 big maple trees in my back yard they did excellent work they were very professional very polite all the workers were very friendly I would highly recommend this tree service to anyone

Very professional and went above and beyond to work with my insurance company to ensure everything was covered. They were quick to get a huge tree taken care of that fell and crushed my privacy fence. Would highly recommend!

Our church hired John and crew to cut down dead trees and do some trimming and clearing in the woods on our property. They also chipped as much as possible and spread the chips on trails behind our church building. We are very happy with the job they did!
