Tree reviews in Wayzata, Minnesota

We have used Ostvig 5 times over the years at two different homes, for everything from tree removal to trimming high branches and cabling limbs. We have always worked with their arborist Jon who is wonderful to work with. He explains everything, really looks at what makes sense for you trees and property, is timely with communication and all work has been excellent and professional. Will always use Ostvig for our tree needs.

Hard working and careful workers. I I was very pleased with how carefully the two man crew removed two mature deceased ash trees, including the stump and roots. They even took the time to put back up the chain link fence. I had taken it down before they arrived and didn’t have to even ask them to help me put it back up, stretch it and bolt it back in place.

We have trusted Ostvig for years on various projects around our property. They come out annually to trim our very large (25' tall) arborvitae hedge and they do a wonderful job. Jon, the project manger we have worked with, always does a great job getting the right crew there to do the work as expected. I would highly recommend you give Ostvig a shot at any outdoor trimming or cutting you need done.

Josh was responsive at every turn. Crew came out on time and did fantastic work. Left the site clean and no hiccups along the way. I'd have no hesitation to recommend Ostvig tree to friends and family.

We used Ostvig Tree Care a couple of years ago to remove two trees that had been tagged by the city. At the time, it was a positive experience—the work was done well, and the cost was reasonable.

Unfortunately, our more recent attempt to work with them was disappointing. I had to call twice just to get someone to schedule a time to come out for a quote on pruning or removing another tree. When the scheduled visit didn’t happen, I called a third time and was told they’d “let the owner know.” Eventually, I got a text from the person who was supposed to come out, saying, “I’m sorry but I won’t be able to bid on this. Thank you.”

At the end of the day, if a company can’t be bothered to even show up to give a quote, it’s not worth your time. I'm unsure if ownership changed or something, but I’d recommend going with a company that follows through and values potential customers.

Monte (initial consultant on the work to be performed) was great! Had a lot of knowledge and was very trustworthy. The team executed exactly as Monte and I had discussed, and they cleaned up afterwards incredibly well. I would definitely call Ostwig and Monte again for my next tree project.

We have used them on three occasions with jobs big and small. Always fast, thorough and courteous service. Highly recommended

I had a really odd ash tree that was planted between my house and neighbors. I hated it and was constantly worried about it falling, dying of disease or all sorts of tree related things. Scheduling to have my that adult tree removed with stump removal, two trees trimmed and treated was super easy. The business took care of all necessities to ensure that the process would go smoothly. Such as calling my electric company to drop the lines and attach again. They also attached any other lines like cable and phone back up to my property. They took care to clean my yard and sidewalks and it looked great with minimal saw dust. The stump removal was great and aside from an indent in the ground, you’d hardly notice that a tree use to be there. I’m super glad I hired out with Ostvig Trees. They came right on time and was done with my work request within 2-3 hours. So much quicker than I expected. I also love the extra sunlight after the trees were pruned and I can finally grow grass in the area where the removed tree use to be. My trees are clean looking now and I don’t have to worry about them for a while. I recommend Ostvig Trees to those looking for professional and competent tree work.

Great service all around. Monte was very helpful during his visit for an estimate, making sure he understood the work to be done and even offering suggestions for how to deal with a problematic tree that was not a part of the trimming estimate. The day of the scheculed trimming the crew arrived promptly and worked quickly with minimal disruption of our lawn ornaments, etc., and cleaned all the areas up completely.

Monte is the most upbeat, personable and knowledgeable rep I have ever dealt with in any vendor relationship. He is timely and aware of the customer's needs and the crews on site are the same. I am very grateful to have put my trust in Monte and Ostvig and look forward to our continuing relationship for years to come.

Ostvig did a major trim job on three large silver maples in our yard recently. The whole process was done very professionally while keeping the experience fun and friendly. Russ communicated effectively at every step, was available for questions and made it as easy as possible. I would highly recommend them to take care of your tree problems.

Jon and his guys did an awesome job with the tree trimming. I was especially happy with how my arborvitae trees looked after they were done with it . And the guys were very nice and offered to haul away some extra yard debris on my property as well. I highly recommend !! Thank you !!

Ostvig does excellent work. Very good at pruning and shaping trees aesthetically. Not the cheapest game in town, but worth the price. When they are finished, the job site is completely clean.

Had Ostvig Tree Care out to trim several trees, and we’re super happy with the results. They arrived exactly when they said they would and completed everything as expected. The best part? They left our yard spotless—no stray branches, no debris, just beautifully shaped trees. You can tell they take pride in their work and care about doing things right. Definitely recommend!

Ostvig did an excellent job of removing a huge old oak in our back yard. They scheduled it to our wants & were there right on time. Virtually everything about their service was excellent, with cooperative employees.
On the same trip, they trimmed a number of other trees well and cleaned up thoroughly.
Their bid was reasonable and we feel that we got great service.

Great crew to remove and trim trees. Very efficient, minimal impact on the rest of the property. Good cleanup of the entire operation.

The rep I talked to to set up the tree removal was very knowledgeable and did a good job communicating everything to me.

The crew showed up on time and was very careful of my yard and surroundings. They worked efficiently and did a great job cleaning up the site when they were done. Would definitely recommend!

The gentleman at Ostvig showed up 2 days early in order to be the rain. They laid out plywood boards so as not to ruin my grass and they had my tree cut down and hauled off within the hour. Excellent customer service and an excellent job.

Ostvig Tree Care did great work. We had 5 trees worked on, including 2 that were hard to get to given a slope and surrounding overgrowth. The crew was: Aaron A, Cole W, Kilian W, and Tyler N. and Justin Kraig. They hauled all of the debris away and made sure we were happy with results. Top notch team!
Thanks again!

I had 2 trees ash trees removed and ground down. They responded quickly to my initial call and estimate. Tree removal was delayed until required winter restrictions were over.

They left the yard a lot better condition than they came. No additional work is needed by me.

They removed trees very professionally. I would gladly use them again for future tree work.

Our family would recommend Ostvig Tree Care to anyone who asks. The staff was knowledgeable, considerate, and very professional. Upon arrival, we talked through the quote once more to ensure expectations were clear, then the crew got to work. The work was thorough, yet quick - and the whole team helped with clean-up. We were blown away and very pleased. When we received our invoice, the amount was spot-on with the quote we received and we happily sent a check the same day. Thank you!
